Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I have been teaching for 5 years to a wide range of ages. I take an individualistic approach to teaching, tailoring my lessons to my students. I teach violin for all levels and beginner/intermediate piano. I encourage all my students to learn how to read music and have a basic understanding of theory. I prefer a mix of a musical and technical approach and encourage a slow but steady timeline for learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
My teaching style is very friendly and I have a great passion for teaching! I also like to guide my students on how to refine their playings by themselves and encourage them to form their own thoughts on the music, and I believe the ability to resolve problems without outside help is crucial not only in the music realm but also in real life, so it is a good place to train that skill too!

Instruments: Violin Viola
Each student has their own pace of learning and their own style of learning. I recognize that and feel that instruction tailored to a student's individual style will make for faster and more rewarding progress. Also, I feel that a positive environment that acknowledges accomplishments with positive reinforcement makes for a stable and fun learning environment. My ultimate goal for a student is to foster a life long love of learning and a life long appreciation for the violin/viola and music in general. Read More

Instruments: Violin
I am a passionate teacher who has taught and worked with children ranging from elementary to high school students. I have always found every teaching opportunity absolutely satisfying. I have been teaching since I was in high school with my own studio, with my most recent experience was tutoring children in a music school in Queens. Recently, I have also been focusing on a variety of solo undertakings as well. Read More

I value my ability to tailor lessons and my curriculum to the particular needs and goals of each individual student. I truly believe that there is not a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to learning the violin! I have created my own combination of sequential exercises and repertoire selections, using influences from pedagogues that I have studied under, including Shirley Givens, Bettina Mussumeli, and Elizabeth Faidley, and major pedagogy styles including that of Shinichi Suzuki and Paul Rolland.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Organ Accordion Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
My goal is to foster confidence and creativity in students of all ages through exceptional music education. I help students to develop a life-long skill and passion for music. Im going to teach; children who already know the difference between steady beat and melodic rhythm, students who do not know what a note is, students who come from broken homes, with different cultures than mine, students that lack confidence (and those with a little too much), the ones that try their best every day, and the kids who do not care.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision. At first, I wanted to be a performer, and I was was for a while. I was also helping my less experienced fellows performers and realized I really liked teaching and helping others.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on Piano. Then three years into my studies I decided to pick up cello. My cello teacher asked me if I'd like to try upright bass. For a while I did all three: piano, cello and upright. I decided to try viola and with a little help from my older colleagues I was able to learn.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I grew up listening pop, blues and jazz. Then my uncle introduced me to classical music. I remember he played Rossini's Overtures for me on his old turntable and I loved it. I was only 14 when I bought my first classical LP - Mozart's Symphony No. 40
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Most likely I'd be an electronic engineer. I always had a passion for electronics, fixing radios, tape players, amplifiers. Even today I may pick up a broken vintage amplifier at the yard sale and then spend some time identifying a problem and fixing it.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandparents were grade school teachers and were required to play an instrument and teach music. My first musical instructions came from my grandmother at the age of 6.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
For my final piano exam I performed Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata. It was a tough piece, it took me over three months to master it. I always wanted to play it because it was a hallmark of Beethoven's piano work, turmoulious yet beautiful.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I come from the family of teachers and educators. At first, I wanted to be a performer, and I was was for a while. I was also helping my less experienced fellows performers and realized I really liked teaching and helping others. That was a main reason I decided to pursue a degree in music education.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Every piece has a difficult part, or parts. It's important to practice and solve one difficult part at the time before moving forward. Even if a student solves one problem in a single practice session, it is considered a success
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I never use a single method book. It's important to have the variety of pieces to play, some for fun, some for technique development. For absolute beginners I usually start with Suzuki and Thompson method, then expand it to classics such as Beyer, Gurlitt, Mozart and others. Also, light jazz, pop and show songs are included for students who express the desire to play such pieces
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I come form a family of teachers and educators. My grandparents taught me the basic piano. After the initial struggle, I decided I want to become either a professional player, or music teacher.
When will I start to see results?
If child is taught structured and gradual material, the first results can usually be seen after couple of months. It's highy individual. Some kids advance faster than others.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice every day. Even if it's only 15 minutes, practice. Never skip a day.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows interests in musical instruments, maybe it's time to give it a try. From my experience, most children ask their parents if they can start learning the instrument.
