Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Keyboard
As a teacher, I like to focus on each students needs as becoming a well rounded musician. I like to work from a few method books including Arbans, Rubank, and Schlossberg for building up your embouchere as a trumpet player. We will focus in on technique, embouchere building, jazz improvisation, and music theory. I always encourage my students that if there is a piece of music they would like to learn, bring it to the lesson and we will work on it. Read More

Teaching requires time and effort but it also needs to be fun, therefore my lessons have both components, while setting up short and long term goals we explore music in fun ways that allows for self expression and we stay focused by having a clear goal for every lesson. We will keep a journal where we will be recording our achievements, homeworks and general progress. We will use students ideas for songs they are interested in learning as well as some of my own suggestions for repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I am currently pursuing my degree in music education with a concentration in voice at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. My instruments include classical voice, which I have been studying for 6 years, and classical piano, which I have been studying for 10 plus years. I've also had the opportunity to perform in various concert halls and ensembles around the world, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Beijing Watercube Olympic Stadium, and many churches throughout Germany, which has contributed to my experiences as both a performer and as an educator.

I like to make sure the learning environment is stress free and nonthreatening. I believe the psychology of music is dynamic. My goal is to get teacher and student to always be sensitive to the affective attributes that music has on the listener and the performer. Music comes alive by the interpretation of the performer and the student has the power to transmit his or her passion on any particular piece of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba
I vary my approach and I can go between different methods so that I can create a specific one for the student. I have studied and thought more classical methods like Arban, Clarke and Claude Gordon just to name a few. But also I believe in really using creativity to teach and learn. So I developed methods that include all kinds of different and new exercises for every level of the student. 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!
