Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Organ Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
The aforementioned points tend to help the student progress and gain a passion for whatever they're studying in music. I've also found that a curriculum that is full of listening homework from all over the world and all throughout history to go a long way in helping students learn things they might not have even known they liked or loved. My students are encouraged to enter the world free of fear, be it performing and or writing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Oboe English Horn Keyboard
I teach piano, voice, oboe, saxophone and music theory. Teaching has been my passion since the day I realized that I can make a difference in one's life. We all can be part of the good chance. I am a Berklee College of Music & Istanbul University State Conservatory alumni. I studied classical oboe and piano at Istanbul University State Conservatory and jazz piano, oboe and voice at Berklee College of Music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
I began my musical journey since before grade school, learning piano and other percussive instruments. I immediately took a strong liking towards music and followed it through all my years in school, learning brass instruments and refining my practices along the way. in 2018, I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Performance. Along with over 4 years of teaching, I've had the experience of touring and performing in various venues around the country and across multiple genres, such as performing with orchestras in Boston Symphony Hall, as well as performing with popular reggae artists in Los Angeles venues.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I always work with a method book, and have a range of fun books to choose from from beginner to advanced for guitar and piano. I use a separate sheet of paper as a log of each day's lesson at the end to show what we worked on, what to practice, and other notes or positive remarks ( ‘great job’, etc.) With older students I encourage exploring your own musical tastes and learning from the artists you like.

Instruments: Piano
When I meet new students, I start by figuring out where they are on their journey, and I meet them there. I approach each lesson uniquely, because we are all different and learn in different ways. I teach with a combination of Lesson and Theory books, usually Alfred's Basic, and we will focus on healthy playing technique. I understand that Lesson and Theory books are not always the most interesting, and I supplement materials by teaching chords so students can learn pop songs of their choosing as well. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing material that is both inspiring and challenging allows for growth and motivation in the student. Repetition is key to retention. The student who practices 15 minutes a day will see more progress than the student who practices an hour once a week. This is due to the fact that more frequent playing allows for information retention at a much higher rate. That way, once it is time for a weekly lesson, not only will you play better, but you will feel better as well. Being able to see your own growth is the best motivator to continue to improve in your ability.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I feel guitarists face an interesting phenomenon. As guitar was the focal point in numerous bands of the past decades, many players took up all the space in the song. As guitarists grow in their ability, there is a tendency to play as fast, loud, and wild as possible. However, this is not conducive to a well balanced style. The hardest concept to understand and master for guitar, from my experience, is space. Intentionally playing in a sparse style, allowing the song to breathe, and being fully intentional with your note selection is a concept that takes many guitarists years to learn. However, once these concepts are understood, the ability of the guitarist increases exponentially.
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 degree in Music Industry Studies with a focus in Recording and Production. While this degree is focused primarily on studio work, the Hayes School of Music requires all students to try out on an instrument and participate in ensembles, theory classes, and lessons. Pursuing this degree specifically not only provided me with working knowledge for recording studios, but also for playing in studio sessions, interacting with professionals in the industry, legal and marketing knowledge, and skills both collaborative and communicative. This knowledge is not only incredibly helpful for musicians looking to create their music, but also for those looking to enter a competitive and complex industry.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
In high school, I was playing in a metal band with some friends. While our loose, dirty style was appropriate for live shows, it didn't transfer well to a studio setting when we went to record our debut EP. Due to this fact, I was tasked with writing and performing not only the guitar parts, but the bass and drums as well. After writing and recording all of those parts, I had a few more instruments under my belt. It wasn't until my junior year of college that I started learning jazz piano. This semester long class not only made piano much easier to understand, the visual layout of the theory on the keyboard allowed me to understand theory on a deeper level on all of my instruments.
