Instruments: Piano
I love teaching because it teaches me more than I can ever learn from a piece of music. Seeing my student grow as a musician and as his/her own individual character/personality. I've taught students as young as 3 to college graduates who simply want to get some pieces under their fingers. I've also taught masterclasses to my mom's students and to students at UCLA, and I find that all of us connect in some way musically as we all love and cherish the same composers whose music we still play today.

I enjoy helping students to feel at ease, and to feel confident about their personal growth! I offer challenges to each student at their particular level, and encourage them to pursue performance opportunities, if desired. I enjoy working students with different musical styles and genre to give them a broad perspective on music. I have also employed a small reward system for those students who demonstrate bigger challenges :) Ultimately, I want my students to feel comfortable, challenged, and encouraged in my presence.

I’ve consistently taught students in my home studio and at the Young Virtuoso Music Academy over decades. I firmly believe that regular, structured practice is essential for younger students, as it fosters steady progress and helps cultivate a genuine love for the piano. Encouraging discipline while ensuring lessons remain enjoyable is a cornerstone of my teaching philosophy. I incorporate a blend of classical repertoire and modern music into lessons, as this balance keeps students engaged and motivated to practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I grew up in Indianapolis. While in high school, I studied Classical Clarinet with Achille Rossi of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. My interest at this early stage of my career was and still is in Classical Music. I went on to play with many of the All-City and All-State Orchestras.After high school, my interest in jazz began to blossom. I went on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, where I was a Performance Major and earned my four year professional performance certificate, studying all aspects of jazz: composition, arranging, and performance.

Instruments: Piano Drums
For beginning piano students, I start them with a variety of materials, beginning with John Thompson's piano books, along with stanzas of finger exercises to develop dexterity. But more importantly for me, is that I understand that people, especially now, want to start playing songs as soon as possible. So, I immediately teach them chords and scales. Weekly, I introduce a new one so they get comfortable and then get them used to moving from chord to chord. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
After graduating from school, I focused on teaching children how to read sheet music and play the piano and guitar within parochial schools, public elementary schools, private in-home lessons, and instructed adults for the Continuing Education Music Programs located within Rockland County, New York and Orange County, California.Today, I teach privately in my students homes and my home music studio, and privileged to share music with special education students on a weekly basis.

Instruments: Piano
I use a variety of methods and tries to match the method to the personality of the student. Some of my favorite beginning methods are Faber & Faber, the Music Tree and Bastien. I try to get the student into actual repertoire as quickly as possible and like to use familiar folk tunes as a gateway to more traditional classical music. I try to assess what type of music the student listens to and find pieces that they enjoy and will be motivated to practice. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set specific goals: It's important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve in each practice session. Setting specific goals helps you stay focused and motivated.
Establish a routine: Try to practice at the same time each day, so that it becomes a habit. This will help you make consistent progress.
Start slow: When learning a new piece or technique, start by practicing slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable.
Break it down: If a piece or technique seems too difficult, break it down into smaller sections and focus on mastering each section before moving on to the next.
Use a metronome: A metronome can help you keep a steady tempo and improve your timing.
Record yourself: Recording yourself while practicing can help you identify areas that need improvement and track your progress over time.
Take breaks: It's important to take breaks during practice sessions to avoid burnout and give your brain and muscles time to rest.
Stay positive: Remember that learning a new skill takes time and effort. Stay positive and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.
By following these tips, you can practice effectively and make consistent progress in your musical journey.
When will I start to see results?
Practice habits: How often and how effectively you practice can greatly affect your progress. Practicing for short periods every day is more effective than practicing for longer periods less frequently.
Previous musical experience: If you have previous experience playing an instrument or reading music, you may find it easier to learn the piano and progress more quickly.
Difficulty of the repertoire: The difficulty of the music you are learning can also affect how quickly you see results. Starting with simple pieces and gradually increasing the difficulty can help you progress more smoothly.
With consistent practice, you can expect to see some results within a few months. You may notice improvements in your hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, and ability to read music. However, becoming proficient at the piano and being able to play more complex pieces can take several years of dedicated practice.
It's important to remember that learning to play the piano is a journey and not a destination. Enjoy the process and celebrate your progress along the way. With patience and perseverance, you can achieve your goals and become a skilled pianist.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Age: Generally, children can start taking piano lessons at around age 5 or 6. However, every child is different and some may be ready to start earlier or later.
Interest: Does your child express an interest in playing the piano? If they seem curious about the instrument and enjoy listening to music, it may be a good time to start lessons.
Attention span: Piano lessons require a certain level of focus and attention. If your child has a short attention span, you may want to wait until they are a bit older and better able to concentrate.
Physical ability: Playing the piano requires good hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. If your child has difficulty with activities that require these skills, such as coloring or writing, they may not be ready for piano lessons just yet.
Parental support: Learning the piano requires practice at home, so it's important that parents are willing and able to support their child's practice sessions and attend lessons regularly.
Ultimately, the decision to start piano lessons should be based on your child's individual needs and interests.
