Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My goal is for students to become independent, joyful musicians, who reach the height of their ability. For some students, that may involve performing at a high level - studying at the university level, competing, or working as a professional musician in some other capacity. For others, playing for their own enjoyment and edification is enough. I follow the students' leads, and allow them to learn at their own pace. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I feel that while it is important that students make progress, every student must move at his or her own pace. I like to set goals for students in terms of technical growth and potential repertoire, and believe in acknowledging the improvements a student makes, whether over time or in the moment. Though it is wonderful to see a student gradually understand a concept, there is nothing more exciting for a teacher than seeing a student have an "Aha!" moment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Although I have taught at esteemed institutions such as Haverford College, Queens College and City College of New York, my main passion is teaching individual students 1 on 1, providing quality instruction to those want to enrich their lives with music. I started teaching when I was a conservatory student myself. Since then, my studio, which I call Opus 7 Music, grew over time and now I have both in-person students in New York City as well as students all over the world that I teach online. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back 20 years,as I began teaching private music lessons upon graduating from college. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

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.
