Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer
I have been teaching beginning to intermediate piano students since I began my conservatory training. I am currently teaching piano and ear training pedagogy as part of my doctoral studies at the Manhattan School of Music. I admit that I instinctively rebelled against the hypercompetitive structure of the music conservatories, and focused instead on composition. I found that sidestepping this most stressful performance environment allowed me to keep my love of just playing intact. Read More

I have been teaching privately since 1989, teaching piano and bass at 15 years old. Thirty years later I have become a multi-instrumentalist playing Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Electric Bass, Latin Baby Bass, guitar, piano, synthesizer, keyboard and voice. I have a vast knowledge of classical and modern works and am comfortable transcribing modern compositions for my students. Music is my life and I teach with an infections optimism for all things music. Read More

I am a working opera and musical theater performer who is passionate about teaching! I graduated in 2011 from Carthage College (Kenosha WI) with a degree in Musical Theater Performance and a minor in Theater, and I went back to school for my Masters in Vocal performance at Bowling Green State University where I had lots of great performance opportunities as well as valuable teaching experiences. I have performed internationally with programs abroad in Italy and Germany. Read More

I understand that everyone has different goals and abilities. My job is to help you realize your potential in line with those goals and abilities. My performance experience has spanned piano and musical theater from childhood to opera in adulthood, with a love of pop music along the way! Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning and young students, I like the simplicity and clarity of the Alfred Piano Methods, which include a lesson, a "solo" piece highlighting the lesson and a fun, written theory exercise. I have a treasure trove of familiar classical pieces which I can transcribe to fit different levels. I also like the Hal Leonard Essential Elements series for their witty little tunes. I always come with crayons and paper, flashcards, games and other motivators to keep the lesson fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
My methods vary. For piano, we start with simple technique exercises to make sure a student is making every note count. For younger students- like 6 and under- we'll nickname everything to make it easier. An example- the fingers should always be curled when playing piano, not flat. There should be enough space under their palm to hold hold a golf ball, so when they are playing with flat hands, I'll say 'golf ball' to remind them of the correct way, instead of being 'that mean old lady' type.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my teachers could be said to be inspirations. My first teacher, who was only a few blocks away from me in my hometown, inspired me to put work in every work, to inch up further in my progress. The painstaking first 10 years of my childhood under her tutelage, where I devoted 1 hour a week to lessons no matter the season or weather, allowed me to forge a foundation from which I did not fail. I dream of finding students who may have this as well, so that I can pay this amazing gift forward, from my first late teacher, Ms. Esther Pfeiffer, who was a truly dedicated woman of music and who was able to know of my progress 10 years after lessons. I hope to learn of students who have had the same story from my own teaching.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always had a piano around me in my house, and my father was an amateur pianist. He was always enchanted by the piano, and is the kind of individual who really notices what his teachers are teaching, whether or not he has luck. I am grateful for this example of one who takes his instruction seriously, because it inspired me to start taking piano lessons at the age of 6. From there, practicing was encouraged, and sometimes enforced by my parents, until there was a point in high school that I recognized what I had learned as a great gift. After that point, that initial flame was only further fed by an appetite to learn as much as I possibly could, and play with the same passion as the musical heroes I had acquired. Hanging onto every note of a musical hero is its own source of learning and inspiration.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am grateful for the moments at a restaurant or bar, where I enjoy making music-- it's a great thing to be able to share the amazing force that brings all human beings together, and every performance is an accomplishment in my mind. Some key things lately have been the ability to share the music that I've written personally at clubs in the New York Area, and I hope to share more music with the world, through the passing years. I am also very proud of students that take what I teach them and use it to enrich their lives. Maybe this is in a small way or maybe this is in a large way; it doesn't matter to me, I just enjoy the things my students accomplish.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
In high school, I knew I wanted to be a musician. By about Freshman year of high school, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. It may have been the summer I worked at a summer camp for elementary school children, that I learned that this was what I wanted to do. It was my greatest passion at the time, and such passion has never subsided. I have taken to this pursuit through thick and thin, and I only wish to use my gifts to bring forth catharsis and positive changes to the world.
I remember a moment of awakening as a student at a summer camp at Stanford Jazz Workshop, that made me fully realize, in that moment, this was what I was going to do. There have been many moments since of assurance and others of discouragement, but I still have a strong sense that this is what I am meant to do.
