Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
Sometimes the best way to learn is to just pick up the guitar and play it. I try to keep this in mind when engaging with a student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
As I've developed my trumpet playing and musicianship over the years, I've found that working with students has been one of the most fulfilling things I've been able to do. I aim to guide students through their musical education in the most natural and relaxed way possible, all while giving them a solid foundation so that they're able to properly express themselves through their instrument whilst learning basic-to-advanced level musical concepts.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
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 Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Organ Accordion Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
My musical background began when at 7 yrs. old I was playing the piano with my mothers instruction. I became a self taught student in brass and piano and later was accepted as a Music major to West Chester University. During HS I became known as a trumpet soloist in Regional and State Bands and in the Salvation Army brass program a cornet soloist. I've taught in public and private schools as an instrumental music teacher and later had my own studio of 50 students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my student teaching placement in 2009, where I taught private voice lessons to high school-aged boys and girls. Since then, I have been consistently teaching voice and piano students in their homes. I really love working with young children, I enjoy their "joie de vivre", curiosity and imagination! I thank my lucky stars every day that my job never seems like work, because I am genuninely having a great time making music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
It is important to observe the limits of human psychology by considering the stress factor. In this sense, I have quite a wide range.finger exercises and the topics discussed in the previous week are remembered at the beginning of the lesson. Although the concept of homework includes definitions that I do not find appropriate in general, it is very important for the person to work on his/her own between the two courses. writing what is required in the notebook that I find necessary for taking notes at the end of each course required to progress.

Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I put great emphasis on establishing a very good control on the technique of violin. I do it by teaching students how to do scales and etudes while having fun and making themselves more motivated by setting their own goals and achieving them, which also builds up their confidence. After students get more and more in command of themselves and the violin, I would then proceed to help the students with their own repertoire and guide them to formulate their own musical ideas and make their own voice be heard!

Instruments: Piano
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.
