Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Music
I believe that music theory is a fundamental when learning any musical instrument, and I make custom worksheets that cater to the individual's curriculum each week. When learning a new piece, the aural, visual, and written components encapsulate the primary step, as I believe it develops a deeper understanding of the piece before attempting it on the instrument. Students at any level complete scales and work on sight reading each lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Its hard to say between piano and guitar; I started about the same time, but I would have to choose the piano. I would take it because of the balanced layout of the keyboard, the large dynamic range, and the beautiful cabinet. With the lid open you can receive the full power of the instrument. And now we see three pedals with three functions: soft pedal, sostenuto pedal. sustain pedal. The pedals are the soul of the piano. The piano, along with its massive library, has a marked presence in popular music. it will not change.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Youngest member in the playing of Rutgers University orchestra.
A competition from vocal parts for a score which was then performed at Mason Gross School of the Arts.
My biggest theater accomplishment with the composition "A funny thing happened on the way to the forum" which was performed in a large auditorium with myself as conductor that day. In another concert series I conducted a chamber version for people because some of the orchestra had prior engagements.
After this period, I started to play guitar again and was teaching at C.E.I.G. both guitar and piano, both tasks (Electric and Acoustic).
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Brett Washington: a tenor entered a "Barber Shop Quartet" competition , won best vocalist east region.
Daphne Rustowich: was named head of the "Delbarton Band", and performed in the best mod-baroque-style.
James Frankenberg: Leader of "Rutgers Jazz Ensemble". reconstructed the school as the new Jazz center.
I appreciate the three leaders in their field lending your name to this music school.
I sure they will bring their own students to work with and maybe use our materials as a starting point.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Piano:
Keep it in tune.
Even distribution of the legs and hands so that one is balanced.
Use of the three pedals to create special effects.
Rapid tremolo on single notes followed by ascending scales.
Hand-over-hand to get rapid linear patterns.
Play from memory.
Guitar:
Keep it in tune.
Uur left hand thumb in proper position behind the neck.
as the right hand will tap notes on the fretboard to get overtones ringing out (switch hands if left handed.)
Play arpeggios both up and down the next.
Play from memory.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
No, I never used those courses, I feel they were too (Alfred, etc.) simple even for beginning students..
I use Sibelius to generate graded course material for young children, and then increase the sections as I wrote more into the machine., My library was growing and I was able to publicly show my methods at lessons and concerts. I recently decided that I would make own course workbook. And I then use that to start the cycle again with new students as they hopefully compose their own.
