Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
For young beginners on wind instruments, I really focus on getting a good sound out of the instrument first. Then, I have them learn simple songs by ear to strengthen their relationship with the instrument. At the same time, I will teach them how to read music if necessary. I like to use the Rubank or the Sound Innovations band method books to start with. For my piano students, I go over posture and hand position first, in addition to the basics of the keyboard and fingerings for scales. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started playing when I was 7 and just really haven't stopped. I have always enjoyed playing the piano and also teaching the piano. As a performer I have played in a wide variety of styles and ensembles from giving Solo Recitals to Rock Bands, and playing in Big Bands to Musical Theater Orchestras. After earning my Masters degree in Piano Performance I taught for several years and then began to perform on Cruise ships as the MD of the show band for the next 6.5 years. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
I try to relax the student first with body relaxation and breathing methods. We then do warm up vocal exercises to build the voice and then work on songs. I play the accompaniments on piano for them and they can record all of the lesson. I also do vocal coaching and incorporate acting methods. Piano students need to learn how to play basic songs first but then we can start to incorporate songs or other music they like into their lessons. Read More

I have been teaching private music lessons for more than 30 years at my home and at my student's homes. After I received my Master's degree I obtained my teaching certificate in vocal and instrumental music for grades K - 12. I taught vocal music for the Jersey City Board of Education and later I taught strings for the Kearny Board of Education. I prepared students for auditions and recitals always encouraging them to practice and learn music theory and music history. Read More

As a performing professional Musician who is continually learning, I would like to pass-on what I have gained throughout numerous years of Musical experiences. Having graduated with degrees from Manhattan School of Music, and from The Juilliard School, I "incorporate" Music Theory, Sight-reading and Ear Training as essential dimensions of my lessons, with the addition of playing Duets. Having performed under the direction of the world's most renown conductors [including Leanard Bernstein] and with Musicians, along with having studied with the finest instrumentalists are highlights of my career, along with having played Principal Trombone in the Norwalk Symphony for more than 16 years, having substituted on Broadway, and traveled with two International touring companys' Broadway Show productions.

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 2 degrees. My first degree is a Bachelor of Arts from Oregon state university in Vocal performance.
My second degree is a masters in music from Brooklyn college conservatory of music.
I chose to pursue these degrees because I knew I wanted to be trained to the highest degree and be able to use that knowledge to continue to grow as a vocalist and help others grow in their own instrument.
While a masters was not required for the jobs I perform now, it was extremely essential in securing my role as vocal captain in my casts.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Vocalizing is absolutely essential to the beginning of every session.
Vocalizing is equally important in my own performing.
I love vocalizing because it allows me to test drive my voice for the day.
Our voices can fluctuate so much day to day, it’s important to feel in tune with your own instrument.
My sessions start with plenty of vocalizing and eventually leads to work on solo pieces.
I always allow plenty of space to communicate with my students and give them the opportunity to speak about what there experiencing while they’re singing.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am very open to all techniques. I grew up playing violin with the Suzuki method, which had shaped my ear wonderfully, but required me to learn to read music supplementally.
I also was exposed to Orff and Dalcroze methods from a very early age.
As far as vocal technique, I have had teachers who used the Caruso method and Alexander technique.
I am not married to any specific technique though I have experienced many different types.
I believe in a tailored to the student method is best.
My favorite teacher always asked me if what I was doing felt good. That was what was most important.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Singing is one of those things that is completely different than any other instrument.
You are exposing your entire self and making yourself vulnerable to the listener and to the art itself.
I think, as with most things, the more you master it, the more little things you find that you want to improve. Living in the imperfection can be incredibly exposing and frustrating, but mastering is not about perfecting.
Sometimes putting down the paint brush is the most difficult part of mastering an instrument.
Some days you’re going to be in amazing voice and sometimes you’re having an off day. Both situations are useful.
