Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to tailor my lesson plans to each individual student. For vocalists, I take age and ability into account and will usually target one or two elements of technique at a time. Once I have a grasp on their level and voice type and what sorts of music they are interested in, I will pick out repertoire that will be fun and challenging for the student, and will put into practice the elements of technique we work on in warm ups.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
For beginning students, I typically start with the basic fundamentals of the instrument, focussing on right posture, grip and sound. For intermediate students there is more freedom. If there is a good understanding of how the fundamentals work, the student can share her / his preference with me. Since I teach all genres, there is a very broad palette to discuss. Whenever I have a good feeling with the student's preference, I'll come up with a system so we can start working on new material. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For young beginners, I prefer to use Alfred, piano adventure and Bastien method book. I also use piano tree to teach young kids as well. Once my students finish the fundamental study I will begin to introduce classical pieces and all other genres as well. Also I will provide two recitals every year to give students an opportunity to perform in front of their family and friends. For adults beginners, I prefer to use Alfred for adult all in one.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to encourage to all my students to practice technique every day because consider that it will give them flexibility with the instrument. Also, I will stimulate them to find out the beauty, complexity and the appropriate interpretation of the repertoire that they are playing. The repertoire depends of student's level and their desire of improve. When I teach children I like to develop games during the lesson so they can have and learn at the same time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My teaching philosophy directs me to the strong commitment of musical education, especially for those instrumental training that require disciplined studies from younger ages. I have versatile pedagogical methodologies that tailor to student levels from early beginners to advanced learners. I am skillful for Suzuki style, and have successfully applied to students who are benefited from this learning method. I am also having a thoughtful investigation and a trained examination on using method books. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Double Bass
As an instructor and professional musician, I teach and motivate my students to develop their skills and expand their musicanship. I graduated from Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, NYC, with a Master of Music. I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to play with many extraordinary musicians here in New York City and around the world. I'm passionate about music and I love to teach students how to focus their passion for music into a finely honed technique. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Every week! They might not be the type of results you expect, but in my experience, a lesson isn't successful if you don't have at least one concrete takeaway. When I'm taking lessons as a student, I always feel like a better musician afterwards than I did before.
If you're looking for big, exciting changes in your musical ability, it all depends on the type of student you are. Some people have a natural affinity for music; it just makes sense to them. Even if you're not this type of person, we'll talk specifically about what music speaks to you, and you'll be able to use that to learn at whatever speed makes you happy.
Right away, it can be tough; Ira Glass says that's one of the hardest things about being an artist, because at first, our taste is better than our talent, and we know we're not talented yet.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Interestingly, I had no desire to play piano. What I really wanted was to play guitar, but my dad told me I wasn't allowed to play the guitar until I had a foundation taking piano lessons. Piano, after all, is a better instrument to learn on if you're going to become a "music person." In third grade, I started taking piano for this reason and immediately forgot all about guitar! I was so happy to be playing such an incredibly versatile instrument that when I did finally take guitar lessons, I was frustrated by how limited I felt it was. My love for piano was especially fostered by my elementary, middle, and high school choral instructors, who let me accompany the choruses I was in. This allowed me to see a different side of piano that I loved: Not just an instrument that stood on its own, but in fact one that supplemented other instruments as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make a habit of it! If you set aside 15 minutes every day to practice, eventually it won't feel like work anymore. You'll be able to feel safe in your little world and really explore whatever it is that you need to work on. Once you get there, make sure you have specific goals in mind for each practice session. Maybe you want to figure out how to phrase a particular line. Maybe you want to understand the emotional dynamics of a piece. Maybe you just want to figure out where it's most natural to breathe. Whatever your goal, know what it is from the start, make it attainable, and don't stop til you've got it!
