Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
For beginning piano students I always like to start lessons with keyboard familiarity, vocabulary and recognition. we play games and use rhythm sticks and learn patterns and placement on the piano. I also start with finger placement and strengthening skills with repetitive Finger Phrases and John Thompson basic levels 1 through 3 songs. I also teach students how to "FEEL" the key signatures with scales and drills that help them become familiar with the keyboard. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar Music Keyboard
It is important for me that the student is motivated and enjoys the lesson since they have to keep loving playing and practicing at home everyday to be able to progress properly. Learning music as learning anything is about exploration and repetition. Once you understand something you have to be able to do it correctly a few times before moving on. This can only be achieved if there is a certain amount of practicing involved. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
I love helping my students develop their music talents and skills! At each weekly lesson, students learn new concepts, materials, and songs. Goals are set with the student at these lessons. I make sure each student is excited about and engaged by finding songs that they want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For more than 20 years, I have successfully directed the Young Virtuoso Music Academy in Diamond Bar, California. My students consistently excel in competitive music programs such as MTAC’s Certificate of Merit, ABRSM, and Advanced Placement (AP) Music Theory. Many achieve near-perfect scores in theory exams, and they regularly earn “Excellent” ratings in technique, performance, and sight-reading. My teaching approach includes personalized strategies that ensure students achieve their highest potential, often skipping levels and receiving Honor Certificates. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I strongly believe that a well-rounded music education helps a player to become a more confident, musical, and an emotionallyyaware musician. As such, I like to give my students small assignments focused on topics besides just performance, such as Music Theory and Aural Skills exercises. Of course, I will always move at the pace the student needs but I also know (from personal experience) that a nudge in the right direction can be priceless. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I began teaching piano and violin lessons 15 years ago and have been consistently teaching ever since. Encouraging daily practice, and helping the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument is one of the key points. While enjoyment is the number one rule, following their development and progress with certain method books are really important. I encourage my students to compose their own original material as well as participate in certification exams and recitals. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recording my own music and receiving fine reviews is nice, but having a person come up to you and tell you how much a piece of your music helped them get through a tough time is more important.
The award of healing others and myself with music is something that has happened to me on many occasions. it is by far the best award one will ever feel by doing music.
I developed an internationally acclaimed Jazz club from 1988 to 1997 in NYC. I still have musicians thanking me for providing a forum for them. That was a great experience as well.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students are musicians that have gone on to teach in major universities and record and tour themselves. Teaching music has not always been a one on one experience for me. Producing recording sessions and discussing musical ideas during these times was my best teaching ever. Many of these artists, Kevin Mahagany, Dave Stryker, Joe Lovano, Arthur Blythe, Anthony Cox, Teri Lynn Carrington, John Abercrombie, and more. These were my teachers and students simultaneously. we worked together side by side on tours and in recording studious. The process was always like getting a degree.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first played the baritone horn, because I had an overbite and the teachers in those days always used one's physical make up to determine the instrument you should play. A silly idea at best.
I went to drums and then in college I was forced to learn either piano or melodica or vibraphone, I chose the vibes. I recorded several CD's on this instrument. I then studied piano then studied trumpet and tenor sax. Along the way I have learned enough guitar and flute and hand percussion to use in my recordings. Choosing an instrument is not something I'm good at. I want to play all of them. I can say that each instrument has taught me more about the other instruments that I play, than I ever expected.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes
I had the distinct honor of performing with the great alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe. He was a self taught musician. he performed throughout the world for more that 30 years. His ability to sing a melody on his horn was applauded throughout the globe. He said little about music, He taught me how to be musical by example. he had an innate gift one that few possess. And standing next to him was the best musical lesson one can have. Because through osmosis we learn from our fellow human beings. This is where music is more powerful than most things in this universe. You can communicate so much by saying so little and let the music do all the talking.
