Instruments: Trombone Recorder
I've also found that a combination of classical and jazz studies can go a long way in helping students enjoy playing trombone and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm 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 Tuba
I gratuated from an urban school in Orange, NJ and was given the opportunity to attend Seton Hall University and graduate with a degree in Music Education on schloarships alone. Because of this, I understand what hard work means. You will find me to be an easy-going person, and one that possesses a love of music and an enjoyment of working with people.I believe I could help students develop their talents while fostering their passion for music.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone
I believe in the "dichotomy" of learning at ones own natural pace, combined with the need to cover all of the rudiments required for building the firm physical and musical foundation required for brass playing. My style and approach in lessons is to be encouraging, upbeat, enthusiastic and to always emphasize the enjoyment and fun that can be attained through good "old fashioned" hard work: Gratification that comes from appying yourself is the most fun of all - especially as you realize your goals!

Instruments: Trombone
Fundamentals are the key to mechanical mastery of the instrument. Along with the fundamental techniques, I will also involve musical elements such as solo rep, etudes, and songbooks to further the artistic expression of the individual. These two together will provide an exceptionally proficient musician, ready to take on the world! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Ukulele Euphonium Tuba
Learning how to play an instrument, how to read music, and the three Ts can be overwhelming, to say the least! My job is to coach students as they become familiar with the hows and whys of their new or familiar instrument. The most thorough knowledge comes from a self-motivated sense of wonder and drive for exploration. With me as your guide, you can discover all that your instrument and its music has to offer!

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Euphonium Tuba
I am a graduate of Long Island University: Post Campus with Bachelors of Music in Music Education with emphasis in Trombone Studies. I have maintained a small private low brass studio for the past three years and teaches students ages -12 on various instruments in multiple music schools across the island. In addition, I am a frequent performer. I have played for the LIU Post Wind Symphony, Wind Ensemble, and Orchestra during my undergraduate career on both Trombone and Euphonium. Read More

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.
