Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More

You, whatever your background, can learn chord charts, classical music, learning a pop song by ear, ideal playing techniques, music theory, anything that you're willing to work for. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
i individualize my teaching approach based on the unique needs of each student, whether they are children or adults. Each student learns differently and some learn by hearing and copying; others learn best with reading music. I don't use one approach for everyone. I change my method for each student and based on their schedule, we move at a pace appropriate to their needs. Everyone learns differently. Some rely on listening so with these students I show them how to do parts of music and they listen and copy. Read More

I have been a music instructor for 2 years now, and I love seeing the smiles that music brings to my students faces. My goal is to make learning how to sing or play the piano a fun experience. I can teach students anything they want to learn, even if I dont yet know how to sing or play it myself, including classical music such as Mozart and Beethoven or modern pop music such as Demi Lovato or The Greatest Showman!

It is important that each student progresses at their own pace with reasonable and realistic goals that they can reach. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to achieve even greater challenges.

My son and students are prolific performers and have been selected for leading roles. They have been awarded scholarships and honors in the performing arts field, and in general academia subjects. I published a thesis on the subject of how music helps with learning, mood and mind/body healing. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play new music. It is often in a strange key, time signature, etc and I like the challenge. I like to perform a lot of Jake Heggie, Samuel Barber, John Corgliano, composers like that who push the boundaries of music. I have found that not as many people follow this repertoire as closely as I do, and that I am often the first performer they hear doing the piece. This is fun for me, since my voice will be the initial background they have with the piece. It also puts pressure on me though that my performance needs to be nearly flawless so that the pieces are done justice.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano and sing as well. The second instrument for me was my voice. About a year after I began playing piano my church music director approached my family and let them know she was starting a kids choir and that she would love to have me join since she heard me sing along during mass numerous times. After that, I started in the kids choir and have been singing ever since. Keeping with it was also because of her. She encouraged me to come back and perform each time she started up the kids choir and made a teen choir for me and a few other singers who were too old for kids choir but too young for the adult choir.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs on my dad's side of the family. He and my Grandfather have been in choirs for years and many of my Aunt's sing as well in church choir settings. My dad at one point even wanted to be a Disk Jockey on the radio. He has a huge passion for music, my Grandfather did as well. Because they knew the church director from singing with her I was able to join the children's choir and get into music myself. My dad also played Flute for a few years when he was younger and my mom played clarinet when she was younger.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician after my second year of my undergraduate studies. I interned at a hospital and realized I didn't want to work in medicine and my other passion was music so it was an easy choice. I was already pursuing a general music degree, so switching to performance wasn't too hard. The decision was definitely made after a defining moment and was not something that came up gradually. Until that internship at the hospital I had wanted to be a doctor since I was in elementary school and then it all changed.
