Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I started saxophone when I was in 6th grade, but I would say my musical journey truly began when I reached high school. I found a teacher in my hometown of York Pennsylvania who's values perfectly aligned with mine. His methods are still a part of my every-day routine and I have made it my mission to share them with everyone I can. In 2014 I moved to North Carolina to pursue my bachelors in Jazz Performance.

I encourage students to seek out and explore music that they enjoy and wish to master. I have taught students of all ages and can cater to each individual's needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
The foundation of my teaching is based on listening, which sounds simple. But, it's not always easy! The awareness needed to listen mindfully will set the foundation to enable students to make informed musical decisions on their own. Additionally, practicing is an art form in and of itself, and it's much more than playing pieces over and over again. Practicing efficiently requires listening, of course, and problems solving skills. In addition to presenting the fundamental skills of music making, I address the aspects needed to make informed decisions. Read More

My master degree as a piano instructor and concertmaster I received from ''Komitas'' conservatory in Yerevan,Armenia. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing music doesn't have to involve long frustrating sessions of sitting at the piano. Often, students struggle with practicing effectively because they struggle with knowing what they should be practicing. Practicing in shorter segments of 10-20 minutes at a time with one main goal in mind can drastically improve one's practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Piano lessons involve a significant amount of sitting and listening in order to be productive. If your child is able to concentrate on a task for at least 5-10 minutes, they can certainly start lessons. Lessons typically involve different activities in order to keep students engaged. Being able to be attentive for 5-10 minutes at a time will ensure that they will be able to be productive when practicing by themselves as well.
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on a number of factors, including time spent practicing between lessons, interest in material, and overall passion for music. Busy schedules may conflict with practice time, and young children typically progress slower than older children and adults. In general, results are seen after the first few weeks of lessons. Short term goals allow students to see the small steps in their progress, and long term goals of one month or longer allow students to see their hard work pay off in larger ways.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of performing my senior piano recital in October of 2019. I was able to overcome my own performance anxiety, and performed a beautiful program of classical and jazz inspired music for a large crowd of family, friends, and community members.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I typically use the Faber method books. These books provide a fun and productive way to learn basic, intermediate, and advanced skills at the piano, and they have method books for very young students, as well as for the older beginning and adult student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me, a normal practice session involves 15-20 minutes of scales and other technical exercises, followed by one or two hours of working on whatever material I need to work on. I often divide my practice sessions into sections of 15-20 minutes, and focus on one particular musical section or goal for that length of time.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Music Degree in Piano Performance. I chose this degree in order to continue growing as a musician by learning music of higher difficulties in many different areas of music history. The piano performance degree allowed me to grow as a performer, while also teaching me ways to improve and build on my own teaching skills.
