Instruments: Piano Violin
For beginning piano students who are children, I usually start with John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers To Play." Once the student has progressed and becomes more familiar with reading the notes in both clefs, I will begin to introduce solo pieces of music that the child picks out of the choices I present to them. I do this to help encourage and reward the child with their success. For adult piano students, I find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
No two students are the same, and I try to take each student's strengths, goals and preferences into account when designing their custom curriculum. For brass, I devise custom exercises for the player in addition to using classic pedagogical texts such as the Arban's and Clarke books. For piano, I start students off with a combination of scale work and repertoire. All lessons with me will include learning a wide variety of repertoire as well as a fair bit of improvisation, as I believe it is an invaluable tool for developing ears, creativity and musical personality.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, my skills and my vision to my students. I love teaching and I have been fortunate to be able to keep doing it successfully to this day because people appreciate my way of delivering the information: Simple and Clear. My method is personalized for every different student. For example for a beginner we would start with listening to some music and slowly track down what the drums is doing in the song, what's it's role in the music. Read More

When it comes to teaching, the one constant look for in all of my students is a budding passion for music. For some, it may take more time to develop said passion, but that is okay! Everyone moves at their own pace, and it differs from person to person. I firmly believe everybody has things they are good at, regardless of skill level, and I do everything in my power to hone in on those skills to make them the best they can be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
Working with novice piano students, I usually employ traditional method materials like Bastien or Thompson if the student is a child, and Alfred for adults. Though it is rare, and usually at the insistence of a parent, I can also use these methods with beginning guitar students. For advanced students, whose aim is to broaden an already substantial aquaintance with theoretical and compositonal studies, I use the "Guitar Grimoire" series by Adam Kadman. Read More

I am a highly motivated andenthusiastic instructor who loves giving people of all ages the gift of playing and performing music. I graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz Guitar Performance in 2010. Music has been the biggest positive influence in my life and I have not been able to put the guitar down since I was 12 years old and first started to play. Read More

My teaching experience began in 2016, when I enrolled in a degree program in secondary education at Southern Connecticut State University. At Southern, I learned very much about human development, and teaching methods and strategies. I also gained over 120 hours of classroom observation experience. Upon graduating with a B.A. degree in Physics (Southern doesn't offer music education degrees), I was hired as a Paraprofessional in a New Haven Public School. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
It can be very different between different practice sessions. They are more separated than connected. If my schedule leaves me with a lot of free hours, I would practice in a concentrating length. In the situation if I don't have a focused period, I usually break down the hours with a greater frequency, and a shorter duration. This gives me a chance to experience the repertoires that I've been familiarized from outweighing a predictable approach. For the pieces that are not new, I start off the practice from a particular spot, or the spot that I'm troubled with and then move to the other sections. For the pieces that are new, I tend to practice in sequence. But there are still a lot of times that I just pick a random spot to practice, then move to a different places without disposition of bar numbers.
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 music degrees throughout entire academic studies in piano performances. I like to play in concerts, and enjoy preparing the pieces that are going to be performed in the upcoming recitals. Even if I'm majoring in performance, but I'm having an experienced study on music theory and education. The combinative engagement between performance and theoretical focus help me gain a better integrity. Interactions with other musical fellows during rehearsal sessions are fun. Degree of performance is demanding but is worth to pursue.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I like to experience all kinds of new music that are written after 20th century. Recently, what addresses my interest at most is the pieces that are composing for modern ensembles contain various instruments by applying extended techniques. I'll be exited to perform Music for a Summer Evening by George Crumb, la Monde des ronds et des carres (2015) by Misato Mochizuki, One of Us, One of Them (2005) by Ted Hearne, and Traces that Time Leaves on Built Form by Timothy Mccormack.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
To be a computer programmer. Coding is a indelible skill that put people working in industrial jobs. The process of writing code is an interesting incentive, although a lot times people find that are very frustrated. I have never experienced a concentrating study for coding, but those well-known networking sites give me a fair amounts of information to stay in registration as an amateur coder. I like coding, that's fun.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play pieces that are composed during 18th century through 19th century. Stylistically, the
