I began teaching during my time at College. I encourage younger students to practice every day, even if it's just for 15-20 minutes. Practicing at the same time every day is essential for young students; this builds a habit within the student's routine. Younger students need a stronger routine to thrive and without the structure of practicing every day, there is less progress each week. I currently work at two music schools in Westchester county; Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Music Keyboard
I strongly believe that all students are capable of learning an instrument and while there are some basic tenets to learning music, every student has their own style of learning in terms of pace and physical ability. It is up to me the instructor to find the best way to present the lesson. My teaching style is characterized by creating a relaxed and fun environment where my own passion for music helps inspire the student. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
truly believe that singing should be a combination of passion and also technique. My lessons will focus on the fundamentals of singing in order to provide healthy vocal technique and a beautiful tone. It is extremely important in all genres for singing to have support, be able to use breath properly and have an understanding how of use the voice as an instrument properly to acheive a beautiful tone. After a few I would like students to not only have improved their sound and have songs they are confident in performing, but an understanding of how to read music and sight singing at the level of the student.

For all my students, including vocalists, I always try to keep things enjoyable with mixed repertoire assignments. Even at beginner levels, I've seen some of my students cover the songs thattheywant to learn. I didn't learn to sing and play the piano by being forced to play songs I didn't enjoy as a listener. The key is finding music that is both challengingto create andfun as heck to perform. Specifically as a vocal teacher and overall vocal performance enthusiast, I rely on contemporary ear training as the key method to my teaching style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet
Sharing the joy of making music has been a passion of mine since my undergraduate days. I've been lucky enough to have had some of the most fulfilling students along my journey since then. I enjoy beginning students and their progression and growth and have seen some of my younger students granted music scholarships and even music degrees along the way. I've also had the pleasure of working with some of the finest adult beginners since living here in New York. 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!
