Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba
I teach one on one lessons. I go at my student's pace, if they don't understand a concept, I will help them. I will acknowledge their accomplishments and encourage them to keep going. I will do my best to inspire my students and want them to learn more and practice as much as they can. At the same time I will not go easy on my students, I expect them to practice and use the resources available to them. Read More

Being a music teacher means much more to me than teaching students how to play the notes written on the musical page. As a music educator, my main goal is to offer my students endless musical experiences that are both positive and meaningful to their own personal development. I am also responsible for teaching my students how to see, think, recognize, and hear as musician, and to understand the importance of being musically literate. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music
I began teaching private lessons in 2019. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for student, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. If a student is not having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
I help each student not only meet their goals on their instrument, but also to meet their goals in life. If a student is interested in music, I strive to help them discover their big "Why?". Why do they play their instrument, and what is their reason for making music. I believe in coach-based teaching. In other words, the student is on their journey to discover how to achieve their goals, and I am a coach to guide them on their way. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
My teaching experience is very fresh as I only have tutored freshmen in beginner trombone and music theory. I believe if I can teach college music majors trombone I can teach just about anybody. My personal trombone experience is that in high school I studied jazz and learned jazz trombone methods. However, in college I studied mostly classical playing and that would be strongest curriculum. I've also studied piano and found that accompanying a student or at least learning the theory of a song can go a long way in a lesson. Read More

As a performing professional Musician who is continually learning, I would like to pass-on what I have gained throughout numerous years of Musical experiences. Having graduated with degrees from Manhattan School of Music, and from The Juilliard School, I "incorporate" Music Theory, Sight-reading and Ear Training as essential dimensions of my lessons, with the addition of playing Duets. Having performed under the direction of the world's most renown conductors [including Leanard Bernstein] and with Musicians, along with having studied with the finest instrumentalists are highlights of my career, along with having played Principal Trombone in the Norwalk Symphony for more than 16 years, having substituted on Broadway, and traveled with two International touring companys' Broadway Show productions.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Chunking:
Though it sounds funny, chunking is one of the most effective ways to practice. Chunking is breaking apart a larger piece of music into small sections, then those sections into small phrases, and those phrases into a few notes at a time. Learn each piece and then stitch it all back together.
Slow to fast:
Each chunk of music should be practiced slowly at first, with a metronome. Kick the metronome up a notch for every time you can play the chunk near-perfect, three times in a row. Work your way up to the desired speed, don't skip all the tempos between slow and fast.
Value each note:
The composer of a piece of music writes each note on purpose! You must do each note justice. Every single note you play has length, pitch, articulation, release, and volume. To play musically is to pay attention to all of these things for each and every note.
Sing:
Every instrumentalist can benefit from singing. Singing is a directly link to your brain. If you can sing something, you can play it. More on this in our lessons!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For me, there is no minimum age to start learning music. I learned music theory before I ever picked up an instrument! However, for all instruments, there is an issue of anatomy. Large, heavy instruments cannot be played effectively with the right technique, without being hurtful, if the student is unable to hold the instrument up. That doesn't mean there isn't an opportunity to start learning music. Another important aspect of a music lesson is communication. A child must be able to communicate in some way how the music sounds, feels, and even looks like. Some language skills are necessary for learning, even on a basic level without instruments.
When will I start to see results?
Results come with time and practice. Results also depend on the goals of the student. If a student is looking to learn the trumpet for fun, the instant that fun is being had, we've met the goal! If the goal is to get better to play covers with a friend, diligent practice will help speed up the process. Results are an important milestone to understanding progress, but a finite result is not representative of the purpose of a music lesson. Music lessons are for learning music! If you have left your lesson having learned something new about your instrument, about music, or about how music interacts with the world, you have results.
