When I first graduated from college, I began teaching private violin and piano lessons. At the same time, I was trained in the Kindermusik creative arts program, and soon thereafter founded Kindermusik of Western Connecticut. While teaching music, art and dance to pre-schoolers, I became more aware of the unique learning differences between children. This inspired me to explore the field of music therapy. While becoming a Registered Music Therapist, I was also teaching orchestra in the CT public school system. Read More

I normally use the Standard of Excellence method books for most of my students; however, I am open minded to adjusting to each individual student's musical needs, whether it be Jazz, Classical, or whatever style music the student is focusing on. For Drummers, I prefer the Haskell Harr Method, or the Buddy Rich Method Book, as well as the Breeze Easy Method Book. For piano instruction, I prefer the Faber Piano Method Books, as they are tailored to the students' individual needs. Read More

For all of my students, I let them pick a song (vocal) or piece (violin) that they would like to sing or play. This way I can analyze what level they are on. For my voice students, I start with vocal warm-up exercises of the different vowels. It helps me to understand their range as well as tone of voice. For my violin students, I usually stick with the Suzuki Method, or Essential Elements books, if they are in the more beginning stages. Read More

In addition, because of Covid-19, I now teach via Zoom and/or Facetime which has proven to be very successful experience for all my students. Also, my Strings Program students in Branford, CT from the years 1996-2005 have had access to music notation computer programs such as Finale and Music Time. I developed this approach when I taught in South Carolina for three years: 1982-1985. This resulted in having my students understand how Music Notation works as well as composing their own musical works while learning to do so. Read More
