Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
A student will always learn technique and theory on a much deeper level when it is taught in conjunction to music that they like, rather than as a separate academic study. This method maintains a students interest as well.With regards to advanced players, I find that the problem is rarely how to play, but rather what to play, or what NOT to play. This is usually best solved by helping a player to re-examine his or her approach to applying what they already know. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
My goal is to create an artist. I know many people who have incredible technique, but the music sounds lifeless. I create a fun, warm environment where my students don't dread lesson time and practice because I have given them daily manageable tasks. There would be nothing more satisfying to me than one of my students surpassing me. During a lesson, I focus on their technique, what is good and what needs a little more refining. Read More

I later began instructing private students and gigging professionally while working on my songwriting - joining and eventually leading a songwriting organization, participating in and coordinating programming with industry professionals.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I recently had a student whose school participates in a statewide competition. My student came in second on her first time, and won it the following two times she was in it. She graduated in 2019 and auditioned for three college programs and was accepted by all three. She has not been the first to leave me and go on to study music in college. Other students I have participate in their school Holiday performances as accompanists of the other children singing.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I just liked the sound of the piano. It was featured at the first concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra I went to.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The work that I put in as a youth enabled me to graduate from music school cum laude. After which I was able to travel to Europe to study. I also worked as an assistant conductor for an opera company while still in school. The performances I have given.
When will I start to see results?
Every student is different! You cannot expect the same results from every student. Patience is the key thing that the parents need. Encourage your child at every opportunity. But also make sure they know what they are required to do. Then success will come
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I would say that the second teacher I had at Settlement School had the greatest influence on me. He was a demanding teacher but not a strict disciplinarian. He expected the students to be prepared so that they could make progress at every lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
As a general rule, I would say that when a student has learned that alphabet and can read some is the time to begin. There are exceptions, of course. If the child has shown some talent or interest at an early age, then starting lessons could be called for. Remember, if there is someone in the home who has had previous lessons on the instrument, that gives the child a great advantage if they have questions.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The student must be able to practice without as little background interference as possible. When they practice, they should know that there is a difference between playing and practice. Practice is the time to put in the work to iron out any problems they are having. In other words, DON'T play from beginning to end every time. If you have a problem with a particular passage, then turn that spot into an exercise in order to learn it better, then put it back into the context of the piece to see it you have mastered it.
