Instruments: Voice
Even through my years of raining , learning and performing. I’ve started teaching toddlers through adults in my first teaching job in Barbizon. I knew that I wanted to share my expertise in the world of other who has the same passion in vocal performance as I do. I’ve been teaching for over a year now and I love to stay active and loose with my students so they can feel comfortable in the environment there in. Read More

I teach out of instructional books, notably books by Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, and Alfred. Sometimes, I use sheet music print outs, or draft up my own exercises. I go back in forth in a non-conventional manner, adapting accordingly to the student's needs. I like to incorporate exercises and warm ups to improve and enchance technique. I also teach songs that the student would like to learn. I'm very patient and rarely rigid in my approach, although I do stick to a general routine that allows a focused approach to learning.

Instruments: Voice
I believe every person has their own unique voice. No one will ever sound exactly like you and you will never sound exactly like any one else. In my voice studio we work on finding your own voice, and then nurture that voice with good solid vocal technique, based on freedom of breath, and freedom from tension and strain. Having solid technique, you can sing any genre of music you desire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For children who are beginning Piano students, I start with Piano Adventures - The Basic Piano Method: Primer Level. If the opportunity arises for a performance or a recital, we will either choose material from the book or from music that is appropriate for their learning level. I also teach different methods of piano playing, such as reading chord charts, so that students can play their favorite tunes and sing along. Read More

I started my musical journey at the age of four years old and never stopped learning music and arts education since then. As a result of my commitment to my craft I had numerous opportunities to perform and record as an accomplished artist throughout the United States and abroad. As an international performer my credits include touring throughout the country of China as a lead singer for the state of the arts Thai City Theater. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 1992, I graduated from Baruch (CUNY) with a degree in Applied Music. I have performed in Nashville and in New York City which has been one of my greater experiences as a musician, and I have had the opportunity to play at Jazz and Country Western clubs. I also am part of the September Concert Event every year for the past 9 years performing with my students and holding a tribute with The Loupakis Gymnastics from Astoria in Athens Square Park.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is one of the hardest things to be consistent about. Every student has a level or time frame of frustration. Some can do an exercise for 5min then get frustrated and go check their phone; others can be focused for about 20min and then go check their phones. In my case its like 15min! So when I'm learning something new or reviewing a subject, I know I have to take quick 1min-breaks every 15min to push through my frustration level.
If you just sit there and go through songs without being aware of what it is you are targeting to get better at (melody, rhythm, intonation, articulation, chord recognition or passing through chords if you are learning guitar) it will be very hard for you to advance effectively. Ideally, you should try at least 4 - 5 exercises that can be around the same topic but using a different approach in each one; that should take between 10-20min. If in an hour you can go through three or four different subjects. This means that in just one hour you broke down 4 different subjects into at least 16 different exercises. Now, I don't really count them, I just ask myself constantly, What other way can I understand this? If I were teaching this to my mother how would I begin to explain it? I know my mom has nothing to do with music so I'd have to bring some serious kindergarten expertise in teaching her about piano or vocal range. Break it down!
The idea is to figure out where you are lacking practice and that usually implies slowing down and breaking your goals and your process apart. I can't tell you practice will make you perfect, but I can tell you that getting those 45min - 2hrs of effective practice time every day will get you to where you want to be as a musician and singer. Envision it, ask yourself how to get there, break it down into topics, target your topics with effective practice and research, and then treat yourself for being so awesome!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children love music. Being exposed to introductory music lessons allows them to explore what they like and what makes them jump and sing without hesitation. Trying out different games, rhythms, songs and instruments that allows them to feel confident. Once exploring has advanced you will know by how much they ask for music lessons or piano lessons, listen to them! Get them into a few classes and see how much they advance, when they want music they are open to the exercises and practice that comes with it, these little artists know from a very young age that music makes them feel different and happy and even though sometimes it can be hard or frustrating, doing it feels 100 times more rewarding.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! I've had a few teachers that really changed the game for me. But there was one teacher when I was about 12, that really listened to what I wanted in music and helped me achieve it. Its those teachers that are so passionate about teaching and music and go beyond the regular lesson. They are always innovating with new exercises and ideas and it feels more like an adventure. Just picture two nerds talking about their favorite subject and how to approach it; this combined with an open mind makes the student feel safe and ready to take on the hardest subjects. This inspired me to be the biggest nerd in music, meaning I love it so much that when I teach it I transmit that passion to my students. We approach the curriculum with curiousness and I allow the student to explore their favorite genre, subject, theory; this way we both contribute with imagination.
