Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a love for music!. Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I always aim my students' optimum learning, encouraging challenges themselves. Acknowledging accomplishments and performance opportunities help to fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
Having taught many students over the years, my favorite books for young beginners are the Rubank series and Pares Scale book. These give a good foundation and progression and have easy to read fingering charts. Once a student gets going with these I introduce simple duet books so that, by playing with me, they develop a strong sense of tone and intonation. The first solo books I recommend are collections of solo's by famous composers, these give the student the chance to gravitate toward the style and composer they like best. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
My teaching style is seasoned but spontaneous. By that I mean that at this point I have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. I have a proven repertoire of exercises and advice that have helped students and will continue to do so. But every student has a unique set of needs, so I am excited to throw away the 'play book' at the first sign that it's not working. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My training in piano started from when I was 5 years old. Since then, I continuously took piano lesson and have had performed on the stage as well. I continued my training in piano at the University of Hartford under David Westfall, Paul Rutman, Susan Cheng and Grace Smith. From Manhattan School of Music, I studied composition/theory with Richard Danielpour and Reiko Fueting, and piano with Lisa Yui. I am currently acting as a co-founder and executive administrator for Sforzando Composers Collective, an association of four composers currently based in New York City created in January 2017.

Not all students are created the same! I do my best to adjust my teaching style and lesson for each student. Especially for novice students, I adjust the pace in order for the student to ease into the instrument. Especially with piano, I advocate warming up and practicing effectively. In my opinion, it is best to work smarter and be efficient with practice time. It is important to me to not only have good technique and a fundamental knowledge of music theory, but to understand the who, what, where, when, how, and why in the music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre, indefinitely, would be opera. Opera is a visual and audible spectacle and the music written for these grand pieces of music are filled to the brim with interesting characters, challenging yet rewarding runs and melismas, beautiful sounds and most importantly (for me as a tenor, that is...) high notes at every corner with some of them being at the highlight or most stunning moment of the entire piece/possibly the entire opera.
It's beautiful music and to sing it brings me joy.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I believe I would be pursuing a career in either art or film if I had not pursued a career as a music teacher. Film because I'm a lover of editing and am fascinating with the many techniques that can bring a film to life. Art because the visual spectacles people can come up with is fascinating to me and to make a career bringing that to life would be outstanding.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
That is a tricky question...
I believe my dream piece to perform would be either Una Furtiva Lagrima from Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore", Du Bist Meine Sonne from Franz Lehar's "Giuditta", Che Gelida Manina from Puccini's "La Boheme" or "Salut! Demeure Chaste et Pure" from Gounod's Faust.
I wish to sing ALL of these because of how beautiful the pieces are and to sing them on a professional stage would mean the world to me, as I would be sharing this beautiful music with others.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's in Music Education. I chose to pursue and achieve this degree because I am in love with music and what it can do physically, mentally, psychologically and emotionally for people of any age. I also have been fascinating since I was a wee lad with being a teacher and teaching something I love dearly, that being music, seemed like the best choice!
I am also pursuing, currently at this moment, a Master's in Opera as opera is my definitive genre of music which I love to sing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My biggest inspiration when it came to the field of music was Dr. Edward Martinez of Gardiners Elementary School. I still find him to have been one of the most amazing, talented and knowledgable music teachers I will ever come to know both in my career as an acting singer and teacher. He inspired me to pursue Music Education not only through his love of the field but also his ability to convey that anything and everything is possible if you put your mind to it. He truly was an amazing man.
