I started as a part time instructor in music stores while I was still in college in the 1980's and have worked in various public and private schools as a woodwind specialist for over thirty years. I currently operate my own studio where I specialize in woodwinds, keyboards and music theory. I have been with Musika since 2014 and currently have students that have been studying with me for over two years. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
General Method In General, I believe the three foundations of a student's success are 1. Proper Technique (scales, rudiments, etc) 2. Repertoire (memorized pieces) 3. Creativity (improvising, learning by ear) Parents: You MUST encouraging you child to practice or "play". When they practice, be there, let them know you love hearing them play. I can not stress enough how crucial parent participation is. The student needs to practice at least 20 minutes a day up to several hours depending on the age and goal of the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Music
I create an environment where the student can feel as if they can ask any question and can make mistakes without being looked down on. I encourage the student to problem solve their own issues through critical thinking. My goal is to teach you so you don't need to be taught anymore. We will work on a given concept continuously until it is understood and able to be produced. I will use positive reinforcement so you understand what is the right thing and what is not. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I first started teaching in 2008 in Paris, for groups of 10 students. I have had 3-5yo classes, 6-8 and 9 to 12. It was a very enriching experience to teach for such a young age, and very challenging to have so many students in the same class room! I have since then moved to New York City, and have been teaching one on one lessons for piano, guitar and voice. I adapt to the student's needs and interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Music Keyboard
I strongly believe that all students are capable of learning an instrument and while there are some basic tenets to learning music, every student has their own style of learning in terms of pace and physical ability. It is up to me the instructor to find the best way to present the lesson. My teaching style is characterized by creating a relaxed and fun environment where my own passion for music helps inspire the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet Recorder
I begin my teaching by gauging the student's current ability; once it has been recognised, I then inquire about what it is the student wishes to accomplish under my tutelage. I weed out any early misgivings by trying to get the student to settle for realistic goals. Aiming too high can often overwhelm individuals, and it is a mistake I like to avoid in my teaching, especially in a field as emotionally demanding as music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Humming is the most effective way to warm up voice at any places before starting a regular vocalization. As I mentioned about humming earlier, the sound is the compression of the air. It is not necessary to vocalize too long before singing songs and arias. During singing songs and arias, I help the uneasy notes and phrases of music by the each student's problems and let them feel the same sensation when they resolved the problems in singing. Practicing is up to the individual's situations and I would advise them to be consistent with a break not to overuse the fragile human instruments even though who mastered the solid vocal techniques.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had a few good teachers who recognized my innate musical talent when I was very shy and insecure in my early ages and during my high school days. At first, I was very much encouraged by my very first piano teacher who believed in my hidden musical gift until junior high school and I gave up my dream to pursue a career as a concert pianist. I wanted to be a professional singer since my childhood, but I was too shy and insecure to express my feeling and dreams of becoming a singer even though I always was selected to sing a solo at school and at churches. When I had to decide to go to music college, in spite of my family's pressure for me to go to the medical school, I was persistent to take voice lessons with my very first voice teacher/opera singer for only three months which was an incredible challenge and miracle for me to be accepted to the prestigious Music College at Ewha Woman's University in Seoul, Korea. My first voice teacher predicted the speedy development of my singing techniques and a strong voice in such a short period, as a miracle to many other peers at that time. Another voice teacher in New York, after Juilliard, the late Louise Casellotti who gave me a life-long gift for solid technique how to rejuvenate my voice with her strong trust in my potentials as a true artist and as a youthful and healthy singer till the end. As a performer and voice teacher, I am so blessed to hand it down to my students what I have learned all the vocal training by these rarely perfect teachers in my life.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child's steady practicing and taking lessons regularly with enthusiasm and commitment in music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The right timing depends on your family resources. If your child has a great deal of love and desire for music to perform with joy, you may ask your child whether he/she is willing to meet a music teacher for a trial lesson first. The best way to decide if your child is ready for formal music lessons is simply to watch how he/she reacts to music and their interest level in any instruments or singing. Also, to learn about how often they will be in musical activities. If your child is too young to start lessons, let him/her play any musical toys to feel the sound of beauty gradually. if your child is obsessed with the musical toys, then hiring a private tutor to find out quickly how interested your child in music based on the reaction to practice and lesson time as well.
