Instruments: Piano
I love seeing my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student is allowed space to be curious and creative as well as have enough structure to know how to continue forward. Together, we will make realistic goals for the week at the end of each lesson according to the needs, interests, and availability of each student. I will make a concerted effort to acknowledge accomplishment and create motivating meaningful performance opportunities. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I have been teaching music since 1998. My mother, aunts and grandmother taught piano. It has been a wonderful thing to have a recital and the parents see the results of all the fun the students have had. I think the students will enjoy piano music so much that they will create lifelong habits. I encourage them to enjoy other instruments and genres. Then I encourage them to start creating and composing on their own. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute
I have taught guitar, piano, and flute for 30 years. The most important part of teaching is helping students to feel proud of their accomplishments and to enjoy music. I like to show my student''s performances through texting videos to their families as well as live concerts and recitals. I enjoy performing regularly as well. I have also worked as a music therapist in many different settings with a variety of different populations. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am mainly using Alfred's Premier Piano series in my curriculum for beginning students who are children. I include material from other method books that help meet the needs I want for my students. It is very important for any student at any level to have a strong technical foundation starting with proper posture and hand shape. When learning new songs and pieces, I start off with aural experiences for the students, especially when rhythm is difficult. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Keyboard
I enjoyed being part of many musical ensembles (including the Supertonic Orchestra in Dublin and Anashim in Poland) and went on to found the klezmer music ensemble ‘Klezmerado’. I performed playing the clarinet with this group at over 100 concerts all throughout Poland. Additionally, I have taken part in several musical projects across Europe aimed at bringing professional music to children. Not only do I have extensive experience playing as part of orchestras and ensembles, but I also pursued music pedagogy, and during my many years of teaching instrumental music, I was able to further develop my own skill as a performance musician.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More
Instruments: Piano
In my studio, students and their needs and concerns are most important. I love to see students grow in confidence and progress under my guidance. I approach my piano teaching with a calm and patient attitude. I believe piano is best learned in an encouraging and positive environment. I try to help students see how and why they are progressing as well as communicate clearly how and why the curriculum helps them to reach their goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start by warming up with scales, rhythm exercises, and etudes. This helps promote a good foundation for future progression and goals. Afterwards, I focus on where my playing is weaker in a piece of music. I work on it over and over until you can confidently play it without issue. After that, I work on connecting that part I worked on with the rest of the piece of music. Sometimes after a while of this, it is helpful to just sight-read or arbitrarily play another piece of music for fun so my fingers and mind can have more flexibility and a break.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chaconne, I remember first listening to a recording of it by Jascha Heifetz, it was so powerful and conveyed so well a sense of a story. Perhaps it was also because I have something with minor chords in beginning of compositions. After I learned the story of how Bach came to write that piece of music it gained more depth and beauty to me. While it is a difficult violin solo, I also enjoy a good challenge especially when it is something that means much to me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started with piano when I was younger and I did enjoy it. My mom did not really get the chance when she was younger so she really wanted me to have that opportunity. Later when I was leaving elementary school I became fascinated with the violin. It was maybe because I wanted to enter orchestra in middle school with my friends or I just really liked the sound. I have to give kudos to my younger self because violin was one powerful way that helped me get through high school and really gave me an appreciation for music in later years.
When will I start to see results?
For me, it is when certain skills are ingrained in my muscle memory to a point I can do it without thinking too hard about it. It is when I have mastery over basic skills and techniques to the point my main focus is less on the building blocks of a piece of music and more on how it connects all together.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My orchestra teacher in high school and my private teacher were both strongly impacted me. They put so much patience and passion in their music and teaching that it was captivating and encouraging. The hard work and faith they had in me helped me progress to the point that I felt so much joy and freedom when I played. It is a legacy from them I wish to keep up.
