Piano Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass Guitar

My approach varies depending on the student's skill level and chosen instrument, but for beginners I always try to get them familiarized with their instrument: teaching them the basics of reading music and how to navigate the different keys (or strings, etc.). From there I start teaching various musical concepts, the rudiments of music theory, and begin introducing them to different styles of music. When the student is advanced enough, I start having them run through my own custom designed technique and skill drills, and have them start selecting music that they would like to perform on their own.

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Fiddle, Music, Keyboard

Music has gotten me through rough times, and it has also been a source of the happiest moments in my life. It truly is the universal language that transcends everything else. I love creating those little magical moments in the music, and sharing with others beautiful memories and experiences that last a lifetime. Whether it's on the stage, in the classroom, or in my at-home virtual studio, I love watching the spark ignite and seeing people get excited about music as they create magical experiences of their own.

I began piano lessons with my mother at the age of 8. At 17 I began studies with Irma Harter at the Edith McIntosh School of Music on Long Island, New York. I earned her Bachelor's degree at Adelphi University, where I studied exclusively with acclaimed concert and recording artist David Bradshaw. I also studied with Laurie Ticehurst-Poole at the Bryn Mawr Conservatory from 1996 to 2005, where I participated in master classes. I have performed in recitals at Carnegie Hall's Weill Concert Hall, and I participated in an international piano festival. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I have taught in private studios, students' homes, and grade school and university settings. Despite the various settings, my teaching philosophy does not change. I encourage regular, consistent practice of all my students, because I want to see them achieve their goals. As much as I enjoy teaching Classical music for technique, I love working on pieces my student's want to learn - whatever the genre! Music is an art to be shared, so I encourage my students to participate in competitions and recitals. Read More
