Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
In the beginning, students will see more progress than they will later on. After progressing past the basics, they will begin to synthesize information from lessons and experience to solve unique problems to keep growing musically. Rarely will a teacher have the precise answer for specific "blockade," but I will always provide great insights and ideas that can be very useful to overcome your practice barriers. This process of info synthesis is delicate and time consuming, but it is the most vital part of the learning process. Read More

I have been teaching all age ranges for 10 years. My goals are to make technique and performance perfect, and also have an understanding of the music in its time period and what the composer would want. I also encourage students to write their own music, and also improvise. Read More
Instruments: Violin Trumpet Clarinet Recorder Fiddle Euphonium
MUSIC SHOULD AND MUST ALWAYS BE FUN. My Teaching style is relax but very educational. I use lots of examples and stories to get my point across. We can also view youtube videos, old recording of performance, and advance music technique books to learn. I teach by example. I will play and show you how to do it step by step at your own pace. I let the student learn at their own speed without any pressure or rush. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Electric Violin Fiddle Acoustic Guitar
I love to begin with the Suzuki method but is all dependent upon each individual student and their learning style! My initial priority is to make sure student's understand the fundamentals of violin technique. Along with technique is extensive ear training. This will lead to flexibility such as being able to improvise in a vast amount of genres. This fosters a long and engaging relationship with music and the violin. Read More

I have been teaching independently since 2004, with experience in classical, Celtic fiddle, bluegrass, rock and improvisation. In addition to private lessons, I have assisted with classes from elementary through high school level at various schools. I plan customized lessons and work with students individually to achieve goals. I like to form real relationships with my students and still stay in touch with students I have not taught for years! It is very rewarding to me to help students find their own voices in music, and I try to provide the tools they will need to be successful in whichever style/field of music they are drawn to.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Hi, I am a music instructor who strives to meet the musical needs and desires of every student of mine, through sharing my passion and love of music. I like to learn what my students' musical taste is, while at the same time making sure that they learn the necessary musical theory, history, and technique existent in the music we work on. I graduated from Long Island University-CW Post with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education and I graduated from SUNY StonyBrook with a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, focusing solely on music.

For the past 10 years, I have developed singers. As the musical director for my local church, I worked with singers who needed help with their skills in order to move from the choir to background singing. Currently, I work with singers in my band and vocal arrange for shows and tours. I actually found myself looking for ways to teach certain people that I would come across but I truly enjoy pulling out someone's potential. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over Quantity, every time! Make sure to drill the fundamentals at least once a day, and to play them well, rather than quickly. You should always play scales slowly, as to avoid as many mistakes as possible.
Never underestimate the power of a quick 15 minutes with your instrument. You can even repeat the 15 minute practices 2-4 times a day, to get anywhere between a half-hour to an hour of practice a day!
Daily practice is the only thing that can 100% ensure improvement. Practice should be thoughtful, not rushed. Practice should require a full focus on the task at hand and be away from any distractions.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can they sit for 15 minutes and do something educational? (read, write, color, etc)
Do they know their ABC's, 123's, or are getting there pretty well?
Do they enjoy music?
If the answers to all of these questions are "yes", your child is ready.
You may think that your child is too hyperactive to start, but I find that involving physical activity with the music lessons hepls hyperactivity a lot. Hyperactive children simply have a lot of energy, and an instrument is a wonderful thing to put energy into.
When will I start to see results?
After the very first day, guaranteed.
If you're asking when they'll be able to play a song, it all depends on the age of the child, and how much work they put into studying their music when I'm not around.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I don't even listen to this too often in my spare time, but...classical, baroque, and romantic music is a time capsule, and I LOVE performing it.
I'm a big nerd about history, and I love to learn about people gone by. You learn so much from an artist from studying their work. Schumann's frolicking urges, Tchaikovsky's deep suffering. Sometimes I feel like I can hear Mozart laugh with glee when I play his work.
It challenges my fingers, challenges my mind, and gives me insight to the artist within.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
One of the conducting mentors I look up to most is Jeffrey Grogan. As a small child, he was helping out at the Mason Gross Orchestra Camp. He told us, "If you want to be a musician, make sure that there's nothing else you truly want, even a little. Because it's competitive out there. And it's real hard. And if you have something else you're good at...maybe you should consider going for that, first."
And I asked myself on that day if there is anything more that I love than music. Often, I make sure to ask myself that question again, and I arrive at the same answer. I have yet to regret my decision. Every day is wonderful.
