Instruments: Piano
I teach classical music exclusively. My strategy for utterly inexperienced students is to remove from the equation the difficulty of reading a music score, and just allow the hands to "learn" the keyboard by having the student repeating short musical sentences (either preexisting or improvised by me on the spot). Once familiarity with the keyboard has been achieved, or if the student already reads music, we move on to his or her first book, and I tend to favor Nancy and Randall Faber's Piano Adventures.

I am a pianist/musician who is passionate about teaching and sharing my love of music. I grew up in Mexico City and won a scholarship to study at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy. I then continued my studies at The Oberlin Conservatory and earned a Master's Degree at The Boston Conservatory. I have performed in venues such as Weill Hall in Carnegie Hall, the Tsai Performance Center in Boston, Harvard's Sander's Theatre and Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a young talented pianist originally from Armenia, who, despite his young age, has already won in many prestigious international piano competitions. Having started my education from the age of 6, I have played in numerous concert halls all over the world which include Jordan Hall in Boston, Corcoran Hall in Washington DC, historical Megaro Gyzy hall in Santorini Island in Greece, Russian Conservatory Great hall in Paris, Rachmaninov Philharmonic Hall in Moscow, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I do my best to be always possitive with my students that will make the lesson full of smiles and laughters! I welcome students presenting their own idea of what to learn and keeping me updated with their most current interest. Music is a language, which is meant for communication. That's why I love exchaning ideas. I also expect students to trust my instruction and follow it with consistency vice versa. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days. When I was in college I had the opportunity to student teach students from Pre Kindergarten to 12th grade. I mainly have experience with teaching younger children general music. Even though, I have limited experience with private instruction I had the chance to help students with their auditions to NYSSMA. Yet my degree program has prepared me for private instruction, with a class on vocal pedagogy. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
When it comes to jazz, I think learning the basics of the language is key! I like to use Jim Snidero's book "Jazz Conceptions" for many beginner to advanced students to study etudes that will help them internalize the ins and outs of what professionals play in their improvisation. I also encourage students to experiment on their own time on what kind of music they want to play, while also encouraging them to practice material that will propel their musicianship, especially for beginner and intermediate students.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginners I typically start with the Piano Adventure series, and supplement with other familiar tunes for holidays. Depending on interest, students will receive additional music. From early intermediate level I assign music from baroque, classical, romantic or modern eras, and technical exercises like Hannon or Czerny. Students are encouraged to bring music they would like to play. I customize short technical exercises to help in finger dexterity. I introduce Dalcroze’s Solfège to help students appreciate musical sound and physicalization. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my family. My parents both played in their school band but never pursued music beyond.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in performance and composition. I love to perform and find it to be quite challenging; I love a challenge. I also love to express my creativity through composition.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform my own compositions in concert. As much as I love performing Beethoven and Chopin, I want to create my own works to share with others.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd spend all of my time with art. For the past few years, I have been working with metal and kinetic sculpture.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My passion has always been classical piano. In the recent years, I have fallen in love with arranging and teaching pop, rock and metal for piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing flute in college for some experience with another instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I used to use Alfred, Bastien, Piano Adventures and several others. I still occasionally use songs from those books. However, I have developed my own style of teaching using songs that the student likes as course material. I arrange it myself.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I start with drills and exercises to get my fingers moving. If I'm deeply immersed into learning a piece, I concentrate on a section and loop it until it becomes easy and/or memorized.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There are so many levels in piano. If we are speaking about advanced playing, the hardest thing to master is fluidity in the musical lines so that it is expressive.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
For several years I had trained students for competition. Most of them had taken awards in their age category and a few of them have placed 1st in advanced categories.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really love the complexity and expression of a piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have one numerous awards in college, performed solo recitals, accompanied an orchestra, created hundreds of piano tutorials on YouTube and can arrange any music to be suitable on piano.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results in the first lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every piano teacher I had was a true inspiration for me. I have loved classical music so much growing up that everything that I learned from one of my piano teachers has been influential in my life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready for lessons when they express an interest in learning and are able to follow along to a teacher. It also helps if they are old enough to read. Their enthusiasm and ability to focus is key.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I find my practice most effective when I pick a section (whether 2 measures, 8 measures or a page and loop it around many times).
