Instruments: Piano Flute
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire 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 Guitar Violin Bass Guitar Double Bass Classical Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to my college days ,as I began teaching in professional music school full time 28 years ago and have been consistently teaching students in my home for the last 15 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key point .I like to emphasize for younger students ,as it tends to help student progress and gain passion for the instrument. I've also found that combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the instrument and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
For my piano students, I like to use a mixture of books from the Alfred, Bastien, and John W. Schaum collections. I eventually assign more advanced solo repertoire as the student progresses. For my vocal students, I pick music based on their interests and vocal qualities. I have taught my students musical theater, opera, art song, gospel, pop, and many other styles throughout the years. I also like to make sure my students have a solid understanding in music theory and often give out worksheets that help them practice how to sight read, recognize different key signatures, and more.

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music
My method of working with drums and percussion is to first get a sense of what the student's goals are. These include both goals involving general drums/percussion and career/performance goals. We will then work together to form a plan to achieve them. This will include exercises tailored directly to the student's needs and desires within drums/percussion as well as overall musical standings and guiding the student to repertoire that will both be fun for them to play and will teach them more about the concepts we are working on.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Hi, I am a music instructor who strives to meet the musical needs and desires of every student of mine, through sharing my passion and love of music. I like to learn what my students' musical taste is, while at the same time making sure that they learn the necessary musical theory, history, and technique existent in the music we work on. I graduated from Long Island University-CW Post with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education and I graduated from SUNY StonyBrook with a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, focusing solely on music.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I have had a great deal of experience with all ages and want to share my love for music with others. As long as the student is enjoying playing an instrument, progressing, my goal has been reached. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Accordion
It's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Sometime I would bring my soprano or tenor saxophone with me and create music with a student by trying to show him how music works. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
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.
