If I am teaching children, I will mostly focus on fundamentals and developing finger strength or coordination for the instrument. I will try to instill the foundations of music while attempting to make it fun and interesting. If the student is an adult or has more skill level, I will let the student dictate the direction we go in, based on their desired skill level and interest. I am deeply interested by all genres and styles of music and I try to follow where the excitement is. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Whether you are totally new to piano or a seasoned player wishing to brush up your skills, I can help you develop an in-depth experience with piano. During lessons I emphasize skill development in developing proper technique, critical thinking and listening, creative problem-solving, efficient practice, and attention to separating the different elements in the music in order to pay closer attention to detail. With repertoire, I work closely with each individual student tailoring their own custom lists with a mix of genres and difficulty levels. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice about practicing effectively is to define the amount of time you can devote to practice, limit the scope of what you wish to work on in that practice session (i.e., I can practice 1 hour and I want to work on 4 pieces), so I'll devote 15 minutes' practice time to each piece/song I'll work on. Listen to a recording of the song/piece (if possible), play or sing it through to understand where I need to improve, then zero in on the most problematic area to repair). Make a mental or physical note of it. Practice those same pieces/songs each day, reviewing the work of the previous day and teaching myself to play or sing another section better than before. Once I learn a passage well, duplicate this small victory in this small section 3 times, but not necessarily 3 times in a row!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If you are ready to devote time to sitting with your child each day for the joy and discipline of practice time, then your child is most likely ready to start lessons:
If he or she has been exposed to music since birth or early childhood and sees; hears his or her parents engaging in things musical (humming along with a song, playing recordings, attending concerts, etc), then he/she, is most likely ready to share this joy and delve into the knowledge behind the simple enjoyment of music. Parents set the tone.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results as early as the first week if you engage in daily consistent practice. All this depends on your concentration, motivation and consistent application of effort towards a pre-determined short term goal. The more ambitious the goal, the more detailed shorter-term objectives and mile stones need to be planned out on a time line, and daily practice adhered to assiduously towards these milestones. Realize that life takes many twists and turns and your desire for yourself or for your child may have been one thing in May, but may change dramatically in December, when the path of your own life's priorities shift.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The first teacher I studied with as a child was (or seemed to me at the time), an elderly woman with a kind disposition. I adored her and looked forward to lessons each week not just because she served milk and cookies at the lessons, but because the treasures she taught me were tidbits I shared with my music loving parents who appreciated every thing I shared with them. Later, when we immigrated to this country, I studied with both the matriarch and patriarch of a musical family, who were fun loving, creative and very witty. They spread both discipline and enthusiasm to all their five children, which, in turn, extended to students who were privileged enough to be in their sphere. I also studied piano and composition with budding performing artists at Bennington, and some established faculty there. My experiences at the College were highlights of my formative years.
