Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
In 2005 she was awarded 3rd prize of the concerto competition as well as a substitute position with the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra where she had the opportunity to play many of the greatest orchestral masterpieces under world-renowned conductors. Shortly after graduating she moved to the city of Cincinnati OH, where she studied privately with the principal flute of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Randolph Bowman. Liz has participated in master classes with Amy Porter, Jim Walker, Lisa Ruoho, Paul Edmund Davies, Amy Likar, Keith Underwood, Carol Winsenc and Mary Karen Clardy. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
It really all started back in 1994, in the small town of Mays Landing, NJ when my mother first signed me up for piano lessons with my first teacher Fred Rushmore (a.k.a. Mr. Fred). I studied hard with him for over 10 years when I started accompanying the Oakcrest High School choir under the direction of Charles Bass. I learned a lot about playing with others there ultimately preparing me for my journey ahead in college. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching music since 2005. I started as an in home music instructor, providing guitar, bass and piano lessons to people of all ages in their homes. As my teaching experience grew, I've added drums and ensemble/group lessons to my repertoire. I've also been hired as a bass and guitar instructor and curriculum director by a number of private music schools in and around the Boston area. My lessons focus on creating excitement and enthusiasm for the instrument through playing examples, live playing or "jamming" and encouraging the student to develop a consistent practice schedule.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I try to tailor my lessons almost like a Doctor sees a patient. Every student is different, I do think it is important to learn to read music. I love music theory and I emphasize learning to love practicing technique. With my beginner piano students I generally use a Hal Leonard series book, but supplement it with a book of piano exercises. With my guitar students it depends on their age and experience, I use a Hal Leonard method book for youngsters and then begin teaching them songs they identify that they really want to learn.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Most of my students will begin with a set of books from Faber and Faber's Piano Adventures or Alfred's Basic Piano Course, or a combination of both. I recommend that younger students take advantage of the Activity and Ear Training book that is a part of Alfred's Prep Course. Most of my students have greatly enjoyed the coloring pages and activities and I have found them to be very effective. Read More
Instruments: Piano French Horn
I am a patient and an experienced piano and French horn teacher. When I studied in China, my school allowed us to teach elementary school students. I dedicated myself to preparing them for three years, focusing on giving them a strong foundation in instrumental techniques and music theory. From my experience as a teacher, I have found that you must have patience, be encouraging, and give students the confidence to have them succeed. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first learned the basics of playing the clarinet and played in school bands from 4th grade until middle school. When I was in 7th grade, a friend of mine let me try his saxophone and I found it was easier to express myself on that instrument, so I switched. While studying to become a music teacher, I realized that playing both instruments would help me the most in my career, so I began to practice the clarinet again as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Schedule two or three times during the week outside of the private lesson where you can practice without interruption. Make sure you have a practice area where you can keep your metronome, reeds, music stand, etc. in one place. Develop a warmup routine that is consistent and touches on all the areas of breathing, embouchure, posture, technical exercises, articulation, and so forth, before moving on to literature, tunes, or band music. Keep a practice log in which you note when you practice and what you practiced and for how long.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It’s a good question, and I am going to touch on 3 things to consider before starting.
1. Can Your Child Focus For Short Periods Of Time On A Task?
If a bit of focused concentration is there, we can build on that attention span. At first we might be stringing together little tiny bites of concentration, with built in tasks in between. Over time we can stretch that out and your child will learn to focus and concentrate for longer periods of time.
As long as some concentration is happening you are on the right track for getting started.
2. Will Your Child Interact With Another Adult Who Is Giving Them Instructions?
For many students this is the first time they will work in a close one on one interaction with someone who is not a parent or relative. Depending on the child, this may be no big deal or may be something that you will need to work on before lessons start.
3. The Most Important Consideration For If Your Child Is Ready To Start Music Lessons Is:
Are You The Parent Ready To Undertake Music Lessons With Your Child?
Research shows that one of the biggest indicators of a child’s long term success in music is actually the parents long term commitment to music. I think it’s because we approach activities our children are “trying out” much differently than those we are committed to them doing long term. We put more time and emphasis on helping them form habits and stay disciplined about something we want them to still be doing years from now, for example.
Music lessons, and especially practicing with your child daily, takes a lot of time as a parent.
You will have a wonderful opportunity to bond with your child, understand how they learn, and help them to flourish and thrive. You will also need to find to make room in your family’s schedule to practice and perhaps sacrifice time for other things in order to practice daily with your child.
