Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
After receiving my doctorate in music from the University of Miami I started to teach at a neighborhood music school in Queens, New York. It's there that I fell in love with teaching. There's nothing greater than sharing my knowledge with the next generation. Hopefully you will become one of my students we can go on a musical journey together. We can learn all the styles that I have experience in including jazz classical and popular music. Read More
Instruments: Trombone Euphonium
Each summer I volunteer at my local community music camp where I I teach a wide of variety of students who are touching an instrument for the very first time and students who simply want to improve on their skills. I tell students the same fundamental things that I think about while practicing which consists of regular practice and simply enjoying the music I’m playing. The first thing about learning an instrument is that it should be fun, it should never feel like a chore. Read More

Classical: Irina Gorin Books which is suitable for kids 4-6 years old Then I explore the classical repertoire. Jazz theory: Own developed curriculum Pop songs: Same as Jazz theory. The only difference is the repertoire of songs explored For intermediate- advanced students I work on developing their favorite music styles and songs. I like to help the student self practice and self understand music. I encourage them when they show interest in practice. Read More
Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba
I have been teaching music lessons since high school at the South Orange/Maplewood Adult School Summer Program back in 2009. I like to working with kids to encourage them to continue playing music and to build up a steady regimen of practice and self evaluation. I want to make learning music fun for my students and I want them to want to learn more and become better musicians. I also feel that music is an important subject to learn and that sophisticated lessons are necessary to a young musicians' growth. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Tuba
For beginning students, I like to start them on the Hal Leonard Essential Elements. I believe it moves at the proper pacing for young children. For intermediate students, Accent on Achievement works well because I find the music is more challenging. Also I require older students to know scales, primarily Bb, Eb, and F major being that they are the easiest to learn. It is from there that I gradually add a new scale (one every few weeks) until ultimately all 12 major scales are learned. Read More
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: Trombone Euphonium
For beginning students, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has a grasp on the fundamentals of performance, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital or NYSSMA solo. After the student moves on from basic method books, I introduce more trombone-specific books such as Arban's Trombone Method Book and Rochut's Melodious Etudes for trombone. For adults, I like to find out what kind of music they want to play and plan my lesson accordingly to skill level. 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.
