Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Music Keyboard
Over the course of many years, I've developed a method for beginning piano and woodwind students which yields excellent results. For the first series of lessons, I want the student to become comfortable in understanding the keyboard or the wind instrument, avoiding the secondary interface of sight reading. There are about twenty short, simple, basic songs I have the student master. At this point, not only are we working on understand the harmonic and melodic "hardware" of the keyboard or horn, but we are developing proper technique in terms of hand position, posture and sound as well as a natural rhythmic feel.

Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano since 1998. I have taught in both private studios as well as a lot of group piano lessons. My students have varied greatly in interest levels from college bound piano majors to adults who just want to improve their playing, and learn something new while having fun, as well as many children who start because their parents want them too, but end up sticking around because they enjoy it.

Instruments: Piano
I give students a core musical grounding in classical music; I also incorporate other styles of music in order to produce well rounded musicians. When students find themselves having the skill to play their favorite songs their confidence and enjoyment is enhanced. Read More

I tend to edit my teaching style based on how successfully my students meet their goals. I honestly love teaching young and beginning students because they're an absolute blank slate, something I do not take lightly. Having fun and establishing a strong practice routine is paramount with younger students. I emphasize listening to records/music with all students but especially with more intermediate to advanced students. If I have a student that wants to become a more competent jazz player I'll try to recommend some famous records with tunes that are commonly played. Read More

: I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2007, I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play both at the Avery Fischer Hall in New York, as well as touring the United Kingdom as several performances as the principle pianist with the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra.

Instruments: Piano Drums
I've been teaching all kids and adults for over 15 years. I 'm awesome with kids (so the parents have told me!)... I don't adhere to any rigid format. I work with what level and progression suits you, and I'm super-easy to get along with. Also, I believe in positive reinforcement. There are some old school teachers who sometimes degrade a pupil when they're not doing an exercise correctly. I don't teach like it's the ancient Roman Byzantine era, where teachers would slap a student's hand with a riding crop! 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.
