Instruments: Voice
I assess each student in their first lesson to see their entrance level and motivation. From there we discuss goals and I cater each lesson for each student. For children and teens it is usually to feel confident singing, prepping auditions and performances. They usually have a lot of motivation and a willingness to take risks and know they are being taught in a safe space to explore. Adults usually come in for confidence, to sing on key in front of their friends to professionals who need an extra ear to refine their instrument and skills. Read More

I use little Mozarts for children who are autistic, learning disabilities and under 5 years old. We have a wonderful time and sometimes younger children need a parent or caregiver to help them online. It is so amazing and fun to see them understand and get big smiles on their faces. The curriculum has a way of approach music more fundamental, theory in a fun way and also how to play the piano. Read More

Lessons are fun! My philosophy is that students should have music in their lives and benefit from the lessons they take now for years to come. Learning to play a musical instrument will help students with math skills, study habits, and develop a skill that will last for a lifetime. After 3 months students will understand the fundamentals of their string instrument or voice, know how to care for their instrument, warm up properly, be able to read and play/sing introductory passages. After 6 months the student will have learned basic music theory, how to read music, and have advanced through playing/singing multiple songs. Read More
Instruments: Voice
My greatest desire is encourage my students, and impart a love of music in them. It's important to me to teach students not to have an attitude of perfectionism, but to embrace each phase of their growth; to get out and learn by doing. With this in mind, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, creative environment where students feel free to express themselves and try new things. I love teaching and feeding positively into the lives of others! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard
Ive been teaching for the last four years and absolutely love it. Every student is so different and I love working with each student to approach music in a unique way, whatever their learning style may be. Since I have a broad background of performance in various instruments and styles, I think it is very important to support whatever musical interests my students have or wish to develop. To me, it is very important to really listen to what my student wants and figure out a way to help reach those musical goals together. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at least thirty minutes per day and at least five days per week. Focus on the tools I teach each week while practicing. I usually will have a homework assignments each week which specifically will help them use the tools. I expect the student to know the homework assignments for the following lesson. It's important to practice the lessons because each lesson builds off the previous lesson. Practicing the lessons and also playing around on the instrument is the most important part of the learning experience.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Use your intuition and look for signs like natural rhythm. While listening to a song, see if the child can tap along with the meter of the song. Also, a good indicator is if they can remember the words to a song or hum or even whistle the melody of a song.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how you look at it. If you encourage your child to practice and take a role in the learning process, you'll see results that can be measured lesson to lesson as long as the student follows the lesson plan. Sometimes lesson plans may take a few lessons to learn, depending on how much the student practices on their own and practices the homework assignments. A good indicator and something I try to encourage parents and students to recognize if the student has learned the homework assignments well. If so, I encourage the student to move ahead on lesson plans.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Well, my first music teacher was my grandfather. He was a professional musician who started his music career in 1955 and got his first big gig in 1955 at the 500 club in Atlantic city and was there for about 5 years. He worked as a drummer along side of acts like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many others. He was the one who discovered that I had musical talent, encouraging me to learn the saxophone and shortly after, learn to play the drums, in which he instructed me to play along to Blues and Soul music. From there, I practiced on my own and taught myself quite a few instruments.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Well, in late middle / early High school I was a drummer in a band (with Doug Sabolic, guitarist from A Life Once Lost,) as well as another talented guitarist and bass guitarist. I picked the guitar up back then and started writing songs for the band. It was a really great "first band" to be in, because everyone in the band could switch up instruments and I began playing guitar more and more. Doug left the band so we reformed with me on guitar, the guitarist switched to drums and the bass player remained on bass (although I did briefly play lead guitar for a band he put together and played guitar and sang for a few gigs in 2006.) By this point, I was getting good on the guitar and became part of a group I truly loved playing with. The singer and rhythm guitarist was a top level professional BMX rider and I was semi professional, which gave us an instant following. We played good ol' knitty gritty Rock and Roll. A few of our songs were featured in BMX movies. Things started to slow down and Wiz (the rhytm guitarist and vocalist) and I really fell in love with the blues. Once I started playing blues, I learned a lot. I knew I'd be doing something in music, like teaching. I went to college to teach, so I started doing private lessons, then I was a senior instructor at a music school, teaching guitar, bass, drums, and novice piano. I love teaching and it was time to move on to another outlet in which I'm actively teaching the art of music to the younger generations, or older generations for that matter. It's never to late to learn MUSIC!!
