Instruments: Piano
My methods are largely dependent on each individual student - their own learning styles, goals, and interests guide the methods I use. For many of my beginning students who are children, I start with Faber's piano adventures. I use a mixture of method books, repetoire, and my own theory exercises until students can grasp solo repetoire. I also help students compose their own music, which we have fun doing! For adult students, I tailor my lessons to the student's goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. Teaching materials are carefully considered by me according to the progress of the students. Piano examinations and competitions are essential to help fuel students desire to progress and make students eager to learn more. I would instruct students to be responsible for their own lessons with good preparations and good attitudes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I primarily teach my own method through both voice lessons and piano lessons. I assess each students capability and then set forth a lesson plan moving forward. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For older or more advanced students, I find the Guild Series to be quite effective and interesting. With these students, following their interest, we continue with sight singing, composition and improvisation. With adults, we work on what they're interested in (classical, rock, blues, gospel), but with a firm grounding in fundamentals: scales, cadences, etc. For all my students if they don't respond to one set of materials, we switch to another until we can find a good match.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Keyboard
I typically tailor my lesson plans to the needs of the student. In general, I will allocate appropriate Etudes, Scales, and Repertoire that is inline with their abilities and the standards of their particular instrument. If they are preparing for an upcoming performance or audition, that may take precedent. But I also think there is equal need for unstructured time that allows students to explore music as a creativity medium via music listening, exploratory exercises, improvisation, or even composition.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For the last 8 years, I have been whole heartedly devoted to the nourishment of my craft and career. I am someone who believes in going all in so I have only been teaching full time since the pandemic started and part time for 2 years. It has been refreshing to go back to the basics for my beginners and help develop unique goals and repertoire for each student I have worked with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
For beginning students who are children I typically start with a book. We can pair that with playing different musical games and improvisation. For beginning adults I like to pick some simple songs that resonate and work towards learning them. I believe strongly in the diversity of the student. I realize that not everyone likes books. In addition to the building blocks I typically like to get right into learning by ear and improvisation with most students. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have a clear mind and spirit, feel the passion, concentrate on the assignment, always remaining neutral emotionally to the task at hand.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child will show signs of musical interest. There could be many. For instance, they might like to sing or tap rhythms on a surface or like to listen to music. A loving home is the best way to cultivate the innate gifts of your child.
Your child will exhibit signs that they are interested in music by singing or tapping or trying to play music.
When will I start to see results?
Depends on the student but usually after the first lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was inspired by several of my excellent teachers but I always had an interest in music. I was primarily inspired by a performance or recording that I heard.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I think it was the one my first cousin played.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recordings I've made with one of my teachers, who I consider one of the greatest Jazz Pianists of all time, successful European and Asian tours, some of my compositions that have inspired others.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some European students won awards and studied and toured internationally and now teach at Music Conservatories in Europe.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Yourself.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have a regimen of teaching methods and I adapt concepts to individual students as well as suggesting books and audio.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me is a lot of metronome work, long tones if you play a brass or wind instrument. scales, chords, singing, rhythms, diatonic studies, studying the masters, composition, and more.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is improvisation and to attenuate all my musical skills as best I can in order to be able to do so. Also Paganini's 24 Caprices on the saxophone, which I have done, but not to my own standards of perfection.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz Improvisation. It is one of the few Arts where composition takes place simultaneously with performance.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always played the piano but when I was 9 years old I then wanted to play the Tenor Saxophone. The saxophone is my primary instrument but I find it very helpful to have some piano skills and knowledge as well.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandfather was an amateur operatic singer and piano player who love Verde and Mozart among others and he played a beautiful Steinway & Sons baby grand piano that sounded like angels. He was also a published composer. His daughter, my mother, was a professional singer in the operatic and broadway musicals genre and she taught me a love of Chopin, among others.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I never decided to become a professional musician. I was always playing music for the love of it and I was offered some musical work in my mid-teens.
