Instruments: Piano Clarinet
Studying music has been one of the most positive forces in my life. I am dedicated to providing a welcoming and non judgmental environment for my students to freely express themselves. I graduated from the Manhattan School of Music in New York with my Bachelors degree and I returned to pursue my Masters degree. I have performed all over the world and I produce many concerts for charity. I have performed in major venues such as Alice Tully Hall and the Cathedral of St. Read More

Music is a great art form to express emotion and passion for something we cannot say in words. In church, I teach the choir to express their feelings of joyfulness when praising God. Outside church, I've taught privately in piano and voice for twelve years, five with Musika. I always encourge my students to practice with patience daily for 15-20 minutes in order to successfully progress. Most importantly, they must have fun, smile and play/sing with excitement. Read More

For beginning woodwind students, I have had success using the Rubank method books as a starter. Alongside a method book, I like to work on material chosen by the student, as well as my own supplemntal exercises. It is important for the student to understand the musical concepts associated with the repertoire, as well as focusing on performing well. I also prefer to have my students keep a practice log book, in order to track their progress. For piano and music theory, I like to use the John Thompson method for beginner students, and the Bastien Piano Literature series for more advanced students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I try to relax the student first with body relaxation and breathing methods. We then do warm up vocal exercises to build the voice and then work on songs. I play the accompaniments on piano for them and they can record all of the lesson. I also do vocal coaching and incorporate acting methods. Piano students need to learn how to play basic songs first but then we can start to incorporate songs or other music they like into their lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have no "standard" method of teaching. I have use of massive resources and don't require my students to buy books. I feel that if you are enjoying the pieces you are working on, then you're more interested in your lessons. I work with you to create the perfect lesson for you. Of course, we learn the basics (scales, sight reading, etc). but as far as the "hard stuff" we work as a team! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
Im a very go with the flow type of teacher. I will always cater to my students needs, so if that means sticking with one song for a year, thats what we will do. What I dont want to happen is for music to become a chore, so if we find that something isnt working, I have no problem switching it up. Any progress we make in lessons is good progress, and I will make sure to acknowledge that. Read More

if needed, prefer Alfred and Thompson books, as most authentic.

When will I start to see results?
May be right away, may be never.
Depends on:
-how much are PARENTS involved in your child musical activities: the younger your child is the more help he or she needs. TRY IT YOURSELF.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother was my first teacher of simple song and dances.
Simple lullaby to a baby is a real inspiration that does magic to your child. It is much more than any "motivational talk
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I did not pass the exams for violin for physical reasons (short fingers), and musicality. I do not have an excellent musical ear.
I was offered piano instead. My musical imperfections are greatly improved with years of of training in different musical disciplines.
However my hand problem was the one, that not allow me to continue as a concert pianist.

My accomplishments
-My former students, to whom I taught life lesson of freedom, freedom of expression in music. My recent students, to whom I continue to teach this philosophy.

Practice every day. It could take any time from 15 min. to 15 h.
Fingers are not readily made for moving around a key board. Need to build up specific muscles and постуре support for your fingers.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Just take your child to life concerts as much as possible, sing and dance with your child at home to any music available, or just to stamping, clapping, or using anything handy to beat the rhythms.
Have fun withy your child, making any live music...
