Music Lessons West

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

As I mentioned before, each student is unique, so I don't teach everyone the same way. Instead, I have a highly flexible teaching style, which allows me to meet a student's individual needs for lessons. I take the time to learn about my students' learning preferences and create new ways to teach material that will make more sense for them. For example: singing a rhythm for an auditory learner, versus patting the rhythm on our legs with a tactile learner, versus drawing visual representations of rhythm for a visual learner. Read More

I am a composer and performer who relishes music education! I hope to be a perfect fit to your needs as a teacher and I am determined to bring the best out of you, whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced student. I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music, where I majored in Contemporary Writing Production (Music Production Arranging) as well as Jazz Composition. At the college, I had to privilege to perform with Arnie Roth at the Boston Symphony Hall as a violinist, as well as perform and record with microtonal pioneer, David Fiuczynski on Drums. Read More

I began teaching private lessons when I was 18 years old. I have taught all ages of students at all levels. I have successfully taught students with ADHD. I adapt the lesson to the student to find how they will learn best. I encourage creativity and challenge students to try composing their own music. I like to put on recitals that feature students to gain performance experience. We will work on performance anxiety and techniques in our lessons. Read More

Each and every one of his notes however, voiced the essence of Mozart's unique cognition and personal emotions. Which brings to consideration the ability to understand or to be "in tune" with another person's music. How amazing is the event of two (or many, many more) independent musical voices finding a way to exist and merge into one at the exact same time and place? This is perfect harmony. In what I have seen of the world so far, we often can achieve this deep intimacy with each other more easily in music then anything else, regardless of any other association two or more people may have with one another.

I prefer students come to me with contemporary songs they have interest in learning because it is so much easier to retain and develop a love for music when it's a song YOU want to learn. If a student doesn't have a song they want to learn at first, that's perfectly fine! I have a list of over 900 contemporary pop, rock, jazz, dance, musical theatre and video game songs that I am very familiar with for us to work on together. Read More
