Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My teaching experience actually began in high school when family friends noticed my skill and asked me to teach their kids. I then later accomplished many things while in Houston, Texas (where I previously lived) including live concert performances with the William Byrd Institute, instruction under renowned professors of music, and starting my own private home based lessons. I also spent a few months teaching at a popular music academy in San Antonio, Texas where performances, group lessons and recitals were all encouraged. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My style of teaching is relaxed, patient and encouraging but goal oriented. I want students to enjoy their lessons in a relaxed fashion while keeping them motivated to achieve their potential. I set realistic goals: short, mid and long term. This aids them not become overwhelmed with material or expectations. Read More

I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My experience goes back over ten years. I have taught students privately and also from teaching services. Presently, I am teaching piano at a school here in the Miami area. In additionn to that, I have several private students that I teach at my home studio. My students are encouraged to practice everyday. If they are taking lessons because they are interested, it is easier to teach them. If they are coming because their parents want to learn, they are not as inclined to enjoy their lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Orchestral Percussion Music Keyboard
Hello, Ive been teaching in Broward County since 2001. I have my BA and MA from FAU where I studied piano with Judith Burganger and voice with Susan Dorchin. Before that I studied piano with Harold Brown. Ive been trained in the area of performance and that is my specialty. However I also had overcome a medical issue using music so I am also quite proficient in music as medicine. I also have taught a wide range of students from the severely autistic to the classically trained performer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Ukulele Recorder French Horn Music Keyboard
I started to teach group music class and private lesson when I was in undergraduate. I always try to bring everything I learned from performance, music education, observing other music teacher and my own experience to every music lesson I gave. Practicing consistently is the most important way to make the lesson experience more pleasant and worthwhile. Other than introducing the music to my students, I also encourage them to perform, because sharing music is also part of the learning process. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Ukulele Electric Violin Music Keyboard Classical Guitar
For beginner students of violin I always start with the suzuki method and alternate it with the "The new directions" method, while after 3 or 4 weeks I start with some repertoire according to how the student evolves. In the case of piano I start with John Thompson's methodology "Teaching little fingers to play", alternated with exercises of the book Junior Hanon for piano, I try to evaluate the student qualitatively before quantitatively at least once a month.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Tape your lessons with your teacher, oral or video. Your teacher's advice on how to practice is your best companion. Next best, take notes and review them. Remember what your teacher told you and implement it.
Practice requires a coordination of both time and space. It starts with setting a space apart, a comfortable quite place and the same for a time.
Practicing usually has a break down into different stages. There is a warm up stage, then there is the body of the practice session. There is the principle of breaking down difficulties into smaller units in order to overcome them. The principle of divide and conquer, whether it is by separate hands or by shorter pieces of the difficult passage or by slowing of the tempo or by approaching the passage in multiple ways rhythmically or technically.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the parent is ready ,the child is usually ready. It is essential to have the parent's involvement in the musical progress of the child. You must create a musical culture at home. If you play music ,either in and instrument or in the radio or CD player and you do it consciously for it's own sake, or sing at home whether casually or otherwise or visit places where there is live music whether at concerts or otherwise , and if on top of all that you have a musical instrument at home and speak highly of music, culture and art, your child very likely is ready for music lessons.
If you don't have any of the above you can still instill something of the desire for music lessons in your child if you approach it as a therapeutical or as an intellectual exercise. That's different. Music as a means to develop the brain, intellenge, emotions, improve memory, strengthen the charachter, instill perseverance, overcome long term challenges and develop patience and self control is priceless. There are extra benefits for the physical too, like learning to breath correctly, proper posture and use of the body and motor development and coordination of mind and body and the fingers. If you come from that background or have planted those ideas in your child , he or she are also ready for music.
When will I start to see results?
Music is a long term thing. That is why it is one of the best tools to develop patience, endurance and perseverance. If you don't have patience but have perseverance and like a good challenge that's a good start. However ,even if you could expect results immediately it is not a good idea to start music on that. It depends on what results you want. There is a one day course on playing chords. It is usually done in about six hours. You can walk out with a chart on music theory and enough knowledge to be able to play the guitar chords from a lead sheet. We could make a three month plan for a whole music theory course with ear training and all and a bit of piano, or a six month plan for more in depth piano and reading . The Bayer method is an elementary piano course but complete for a good grasp of piano can be done in six months . If you have a wide exposure to music at home , community or otherwise , you probably will go faster than if not. If you don't have that kind of exposure to music you will probably go slower. Again it depends on how you approach it. If you already play on a regular basis and are only refining your skills or widen your horizons you will go fast. If music lessons will only be a hobby for you , you can still progress fast if you make a good plan. The calendar is essential. A fixed and methodical schedule written down will for sure yield results fast enough.
