Instruments: Piano
I analyze each individual student. I design a plan according to their needs. I give students arrangements of pieces that they will be inspired to play. A lot of my teaching is based on some of the great teachers that I studied with in the past. I am 59 years old and currently teach in the San Diego area. I have been teaching for 40 years. I was playing professionally in the Chicago area when I was 16 years old. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
In piano lessons, I'll provide highly valuable instruction and guidance on the key aspects of playing the piano: interpreting a piece of music accurately and with artistic expressiveness, improving technical ability, learning methods for efficient fingering and effective pedaling technique, developing greater control over emphasis, dynamics, and timing, and even strategies for physically improving and safely caring for your hands, fingers, and forearms. If you are a beginner and aren't sure what all those things mean or if they would apply to you, that's fine too. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My goal is always to encourage students through their musical journey by honing in on their strengths while also addressing areas they can improve upon. At each lesson, I make very clear goals for each student to work on for their next meeting with me. I always like to supplement their lesson material with music that speaks to the student's interest, be that something more jazzy or from a pop artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons almost 20 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio, several Piano Academies, and students' homes. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Music Keyboard
Music has helped me a lot through out my life and I want to be able to watch students develop a passion and fall in love with music. I want to make sure that students progress at his or her own speed. I will help sett goals for my students at each lesson to help them progress in their music. I will acknowledge the students accomplishments to help my students progress and keep my students eager to learn more about music and their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My biggest accomplishment was memorizing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to perform at a recital. I practiced that song for nearly a year and performed with various other students at our yearly recital. It's 201 measures long with 3 parts and takes about 15 minutes to play. To this day that is the longest piece I've memorized in it's entirety.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most difficult thing to master is playing both hands at once in time with each other (or something offset with each other). I recommend when learning to play that you start with Heart and Soul to get the feel of your left hand moving separately from your right hand. If you practice enough, you will get the feel for it and be prepared for more advanced pieces. There are also finger exercises for left and right hand movement to help the student overcome this difficulty.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Do they have an interest in piano? Are they capable of learning new things on their own? Do they have the fortitude to not give up when they make mistakes? Generally, if they are motivated to learn and desire to do so, they are ready! Being in a supportive environment even when they make mistakes is also crucial to a child's ability to stay at the instrument.
When will I start to see results?
If you or your child are learning, being able to show off small songs and scales should be fairly quick. The early days are very important for learning fingering and reading sheet music. Once the student has an understanding of the basics, learning a small song is just around the corner. I would say a few weeks to months (depending on how often lessons are) they should be ready for their first small performance!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always practice for at least a consecutive hour a day. My personal go to is to learn one hand, then the other, then play the song at a slow pace with a metronome so you can get the style down. Once you've done that, start speeding up to the tempo of the song until you can play the entire thing! I prefer to memorize my music, but if you must use the sheet, have someone turn the pages for you or learn good times to turn the page yourself. Usually it's best to memorize the passages right before and after the page turn so you can find a good break and don't mess up the piece.
