Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days. When I was in college I had the opportunity to student teach students from Pre Kindergarten to 12th grade. I mainly have experience with teaching younger children general music. Even though, I have limited experience with private instruction I had the chance to help students with their auditions to NYSSMA. Yet my degree program has prepared me for private instruction, with a class on vocal pedagogy. Read More

For beginner piano students, I have found the Faber Piano Adventures books to be quite successful. For other lessons, I try to tailor them to each student and find materials that fit with their unique music goals. I have drawn from a variety of music resources, as well as my own knowledge, to help students learn through their own unique way of thinking. I believe it is important to build off of the skills that students already have, and to find ways to support them as they grow in other areas. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone
For beginning students on piano, I typically start with Piano Adventures. For beginning students on saxophone, I typically start with fundamentals like Sound production with long tones, embouchure exercises, A Tune A Day by C. Paul Herfurth. Once the student as progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce repertoire across several genre of music as well 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. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I provide piano lessons at my studio in North Quincy, Squantum and at students' homes. I have 10 years teaching experience of all levels and ages. I performed at international festivals in Norway, Hungary, Syria, Canada, Italy, and Israel. I performed three times at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Most recently, I played in concert halls of Scotland, South Africa, and in multiple states of the USA . My solo recital in 2016 at the Myra Hess Concert Series in Chicago was broadcast live on WFMT Radio. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I believe strongly that curiosity is the greatest catalyst for learning. A student learns best when they the subject interests and excites them. Therefore my first task as a teacher is to select repertoire that the student loves and that is appropriate for their skill level and developmental trajectory. Many teachers will force their students to practice soulless, irrelevant technical exercises. This very often causes the student to resent music altogether, forfeiting what could have been a lifelong passion. Read More

My latest recording with Newpoli, 'Mediterraneo', was considered for a Grammy nomination in 2019.

Notable venues I've played in New York not mentioned above include The Knitting Factory, The Bitter End, Tomi Jazz Club, The Mercury Lounge,The Living Room and Rockwood Music Hallas well as live television appearances on WABC-TV.

Instruments: Piano Trombone
I have a strong foundation in music education and have had the opportunity to teach privately, all ages and to lead large and small ensembles in rehearsals and performance. I have taught private lessons for years and all through my BFA as well as my Masters. I have experience leading my own groups and have co-lead on many occasions. I have in-depth training in performance and a vast body of original compositions. Read More
Instruments: Voice
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1) Repetition, repetition, repetition. Break apart the piece into its individual components (rhythm, notes, words) and only start assembling it when each element is solidly and independently learned. Can you self-conduct the rhythms? Can you speak the rhythms on words? It's easier for the brain to process simpler tasks, and approaching the music from many different directions helps memory. 2) Distributed practicing. Practice for 15 minutes here and there throughout each day, with the intent of accomplishing a specific task or goal. If you have this kind of focus, it's easier to actually get things done, and you won't get bored and tired cramming music for 4 or 5 hours, once a week, which is horrible for memory and technique.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child can start learning about the voice at anytime, however it takes the vocal folds a while to mature. To avoid serious injury or longterm vocal health issues, it's best to wait to begin formal lessons until the student is 13 or older. Sometimes, if the student is younger than 14, people recommend learning the basics of music and performance through another instrument, like the saxophone or piano. This helps the child become a good musician before their voice is ready to take voice lessons in the studio. If the passion is there in high school, there's no reason they shouldn't pursue lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Lessons develop voices, but they also develop confidence, musicianship, and responsibility in the student. Results are determined by the effort expressed in lessons and when practicing at home. Students obtain new ways to use and think about their voice during the first lesson, and results could theoretically begin to manifest from this first hour or half hour in the studio. However, real and longterm change takes time, and every learns at different paces. There shouldn't be pressure to be perfect right away--there's a lot to learn!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The methods of my lessons are lightly adapted from the teachings of my own instructor and mentor, W. Stephen Smith. He has had tremendous success with his students, who have gone onto garner some of the biggest professional careers in opera and musical theater today. He developed several "inventions" that work to disentangle the vocal apparatus and, in doing so, help to free the voice and musical expression behind it. His methods are universal, easily adjustable for each student, proven to work, and fun.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have always had a passion for writing, and if I didn't choose to be a musician, I may have studied to become and author of fiction. Even now, it's a hobby of mine to read and write. This is an asset in the studio and practice room, because singing is a language art. The biggest difference between the voice and any other instrument is, of course, the ability to use words. An easy and clear delivery of text is a goal of mine every time I sing, because, without words, I might as well be playing any other instrument! I indulge in the luxury.
