Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For any students, my method has always been consistent with all types of music. I always ask my students to know what type of music they are most interested in performing, so that I can help them better by giving them lessons that will surely have them perform with ease. In general, after I get to know my students, I help them read notes. And as we progress, I help them study some vocalises and Italian songs for beginners. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
All students come with different strengths and weaknesses so I decided what needs to be done after hearing them. Basic technique is very important to consistently sing in any style. A singer must have stable, and consistent breathing as well as proper vocal balance. I have a substantial number of excursuses to begin training these aspects with a singer at any level. I structure the first part of a lesson as technical work and the second half as repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Euphonium Tuba
For beginning students, I always start by learning the notes on the staff that corresponds with their specific instrument. Knowledge and confidence of this is crucial to the learning process. Next, I pick a method book to work through to learn the fundamentals. For trombone, I use Rubank's "Elementary Method." It is a great progressive studies that has great explanations, exercises, etudes, duets, mini-solos, scales studies, and more for young students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Like I said, every lesson is specific to the student. I don't use a "method" on all my students. I can teach classical music and technicality, to jazz songs and improvisation, to songwriting and pop/folk oriented style of playing. I try to give accurate and appropriate material to students depending on their needs and interests. Read More

I continued to teach music at that same sleep away camp for years -- eventually becoming the Head of the Music Department ( Rock Shop) there - coaching bands, leading improv classes, and developing the program. I later enjoyed several years teaching as an adjunct professor in the music department at my alma mater. I have always had a steady practice of private students ranging in ages and experience. Whatever the material be, I focus on finding the student's true musical voice, allowing them to take ownership over their instrument, allowing any intimidation to fade, and therefore, finding the natural joy in playing music.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do it when you are most relaxed, and when the daylight hours are there. Don't practice when you are hungry or tired. Try to stick to a basic schedule. Try to push yourself to uncomfortable zones.
Work like this is a kind of job and the payment is your confidence in new ideas with regards to sound.
Exceptional work is done when you don't think too hard.
Meditation on your fluidity is key. In the mind's eye, see you smiling and relaxed in all motions of playing, sitting comfortably, and always focused.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They will look toward the instrument and show interest in the sounds it makes. They will come to you asking if you can buy them a guitar or drums. Most young lovers of music will be a little obsessed with music on the computer, on tv shows and online. I think, for the most part, they show a kind of discipline and strong interest needed to learn the beginning stages of reading music.
They must also have the concentration exhibited with school work and study, that will reflect their ability to sit alone with an instrument and practice.
When will I start to see results?
Depends on the intuitiveness, natural ability, and discipline needed to move the learning forward in the first three months. I do see students with natural ability that don't even practice much with a month. The ones that have both strong innate talent and the ability to practice with the instrument at least 15 minutes a day as someone under the age of 10, as the most exceptional way to jumpstart results and get the confidence needed to show songs and tempo, and technique come to fruition. I like to say, you can be good fast if you love playing even when the teacher doesn't tell you to.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My very favorite teacher, Mr. Colombia, was my grammar school music teacher. He was highly talented and taught us how to sing Beatles songs and wrote spring choral plays with scriptwriting abilities that were moral, ethical and beautiful. He saw talent in members of my family and I loved him for encouraging us and being a wonderful and caring human being. The world lost him ten years ago and I think of his often.
My piano teacher, Mrs. Moris was a kind and funny human being that saw my natural ability and nourished me with different kinds of exercises above the usual note reading. She taught me ear training as well at the age of 9.
I went on to further my musical education at the age of 17 with a woman named Jenny, I called her, and she got me deep into music theory and helped me learn an entire Mozart Sonata which is one of my favorite classical piece of music of all times.
