Instruments: Piano Voice
I have had the passion of teaching piano since I started building experience through further studying Piano Pedagogy. The courses I was honored to take were extremely valuable for the piano teaching jobs I was able to find for the next decade. My most rewarding experience was when my long-term student of 5 years won first place in her first "Battle of the Bands" for playing Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are". Read More
Instruments: Voice
When I teach, I treat you like a colleague and I require your full attention during the 30-60 min class. Singing takes a lot of discipline, sweat and abdominal work (for the high notes). If you are aiming for the stars, you need to be trained like one. I can make you understand how voice projection works, so you know how to best use your voice and protect it. Every student progresses at their own pace. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
lthough not a Speech Level Singing certified instructor, I have extensive training in SLS. As well as classical techniques such as Bel canto, I have studied modern techniques with the likes of CVT and Robert Lunte of TVS. We will find the areas that hold you back in your singing goals, and we will DEMOLISH them, and every vocal lesson will be recorded onto CD. Piano I am well versed in many of the Pop style Piano including Blues Piano, Funk, Singer-Songwriter, RB, country, as well as atmospheric or synth playing (EG, playing strings convincingly on a keyboard).

Instruments: Piano Voice
I teach music to students who want to learn music. I can teach different styles of music, includingclassical and popular. Sight reading and ear training are very important elements that I also teach. However, if students only wish to learn one type of music, I willhonor their preference. My training includes a BA degree in Music, and a MA degree in Administration. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I am very familiar with all of the standard piano methods, and will evaluate the student in the first few lessons to choose a method that they will be the most comfortable with. I supplement all lessons with music theory and outside repertoire, allowing the students to choose from their favorite genres/artists. For theatre, musical theatre, and vocal coaching, I also employ Linklater and Alexander techniques. I also really enjoy exposing students to styles, genres or artists that they might not be familiar with along with the history behind the music they're learning! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I have been teaching with Musika since 2005, and have been doing private instruction since 1987. I am on the active artist's roster for Cirque de Soleil. I have performed in just about every music venue and university in the Los Angeles area, done a variety of Ivy League tours with Bali and Beyond gamelan ensemble. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard
My teaching style is well rounded approach. I teach not only music performance which includes technique, memorization, practice techniques, body mechanics and health, and memorization but also theory, ear training, music history, performance and music business. All my students have opportunity to perform, learn how to audition for local musical theatre productions, how to record and how to prepare for careers in the arts (if they choose). Many of my students are composers/songwriters, produce albums, perform with local companies, Disney performers or are actors in theatre, television and motion picture. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I had a grandmother who was in the New York theater scene. My father and mother both have beautiful voices but no official academic training in that regard. The biggest asset my parents gave me was a supportive attitude toward my creative pursuits, and I hope my parental clients are able to do the same for their own young students.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is tough to pick, because music is just music. But I have the greatest affinity for musical theater and Broadway show tunes whether classic or contemporary. Next I gravitate towards jazz and folk music as it suits my voice particularly. I enjoy variety in acting monologues, whether classic or contemporary. And finally, I was trained in classical repertoire and often enjoy it for the technical benefits.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This will of course, per discipline, but I often enjoy 5 minutes of small talk and an understanding of what mood and somatic energy the student possesses that day. Then we move to vocalise or curriculum assignments, moving into more specialized pieces that have been selected by the student and myself for more nuanced application.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
My father is a psychologist and I enjoy the therapeutic and healing aspects of the arts as well. I am also a published author, voice over artist and podcast host. I have found a tremendous amount of joy in simple drawing projects and other academic pursuits.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
All of music is interconnected, so playing various instruments is a given! While we utilize the human voice from day of a baby's first cry, it wasn't long before I noticed the theoretical and conceptual benefits of learning the piano in choral settings. Every semester of my collegiate career involved an overview of each orchestral family, so we had the opportunity to learn about and play instruments in woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings. I loved the challenge!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
While in college I never realistically considered the possibility of pursuing the arts professionally, because it seemed like 'pie in the sky'. But after having several paid, collegiate gigs I recognized the distinction of my talent and passions and decided to give it a go. One thing led to another and I eventually found myself walking the streets of New York, headed to Ripley Grier for my first Broadway rehearsals. You can do it too!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I first received my Bachelor's in Music with a double emphasis in Education and Theory Composition. I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could, not only for personal benefit, but for the ongoing benefit of my students. Voice was my main instrument at that time. I later moved on to a Masters in Conducting and have utilized that for decades, working with orchestras and musicians from across the United States and abroad.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I prefer variety and spontaneity, so anything that I am currently working and am finding challenging. I gravitate more towards emotional challenges that showcase my acting range, rather than vocal calisthenics which are easily showy but not necessarily demonstrative of real talent. I want to showcase something real and authentic that impacts an audience and resonates with me, and if that includes vocal prowess, so be it.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes! This is one of the greatest fulfillments as a teacher! My students have gone on to enjoy and book Broadway Shows, touring companies, cruise lines, Manhattan School of Music, Carnegie Mellon, Pixar, HBO, international contracts and much more. The awards themselves are not nearly as important as the creative fulfillment that is provided to my students...
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Whether singing, acting, playing the piano or the ukulele the main instrument is YOU! That is the hardest instrument to master, with all the complexities that humanity has to offer. Fingering patterns might be difficult. Performance anxiety comes for us all. But truly mastering the individuality and Divine spark you have been gifted with is a lifelong pursuit.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
My greatest asset in determining curriculum goals is the student themselves. One of the things I like best about one on one teaching is the ability to shift my teaching style as per the individual and their distinctive goals. For piano I do prefer Hanon and Alfred's. For ukulele I utilize Hal Leonard to start. For singing I employ an Italian Style of vocal practice coupled with vocalise and personalized attention. For acting I often utilize "Viewpoints" by Anne Bogart and The Academy of Film and Television based here in LA.
