Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar
For all students, I teach them exercises to strenghten their fundamentals and skills in the given instrument, and each lesson we practice the exercises to focus on improving their sound production, pitch finding, placement, and more. We also learn songs that both the student and I choose and prepare for performance (when necessary). Here are the books I work from for each instrument, but please note that I don't necessarily use these for every student, only when appropriate: GUITAR: Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method (books 1 through 3) VOICE: Master Vocal Exercises by Horatio Connell, and Sightsinging (Hal Leonard) BASS GUITAR: Bass Method, (Hal Leonard, books 1 through 3) TRUMPET: Essential Elements 2000, (Hal Leonard, books 1 through 3) Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
After graduating college, I began adding vocal training to my studio. I have directed numerous choirs over the years and love choral, musical theatre, and jazz music. I encourage healthy consistent practice for piano and/or voice. I also relish the student's input when choosing literature. If a student does not like the music, I have found they will not practice. Students love performing at our End of the year Vocal Recital for their friends and family. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a musician, composer, teacher and author. I graduated from the NYC "Fame School"- Fiorello H. LaGuardia HS of Music and Art. I studied music theory and composition at Mannes Conservatory, NYC and received a BA as a Music Major from Aaron Copland School of Music/Queens College/CUNY. I took Graduate courses studying Special Ed/Music Therapy at Lehman College, NY. After in depth research with creating highly motivational music programs for all ages as well as for children that had ADD, Autism, or Aspergers, I was awarded a grant from the Grammy's to write a book. I have traveled to Europe and the far east teaching creative music workshops. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I believe that each students is at a different level so you have to tailor everything based on that. I believe that reading music is extremly important in the development of singing as well as enjoying music. I believe that each student should know key signatures as well as what notes are on and off the staff. For all students I focus on the following: Breath, Correct Vowel Placement. I believe that if you have solid breath foundations then you can produce purer vowels and in turn if you have purer vowels then you have longer lasting and easier breath production. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin
I do my best to tailor my style to each students specific needs and goals. In general, I am a very laidback and patient teacher. My students recieve clear and achievable goals at the end of each of their lessons to work on while they are practicing during the week. This enables students to be able to really see their own progress as the practice. I also believe in music lessons being an enjoyable experience for students so I include students in making the decision for what pieces they would like to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I absolutely love watching a student who has tried to understand a concept suddenly light up, smile, and say, "Oh, now I get it!" I believe that a teacher should try a variety of ways to help a student understand and "own" their musical knowledge. I set high standards for my students, starting where they are and encourgaing them to go beyond what they think is their personal best. I have students write goal and wish lists down throughout the year, setting small, reachable goals and then larger goals that may take longer to reach. Read More
Instruments: Voice Recorder
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was mostly a gradual decision, however at one point in my teenage years I was determined to not study music in college! I wanted it to stay a hobby, but my love for it won and I ended up studying music and never regretted it.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! My Grandmother was a singer, organist, pianist, voice teacher and choral director. She loved to do it all! She was my first teacher and inspired my love of music. My father and his siblings all sing, though not professionally, and my mother sings and was two rock bands in the 1990s.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second is piano. I began lessons at a young age, but was never very dedicated. In college it became a necessity to learn and I wished I have done more as a child! I have since fallen in love with piano and continue to practice regularly. I consider the recorder my third instrument and although I played it in third grade enough to annoy my dogs, cats, and parents, I picked up a method book later in life and found the fun of playing more complex pieces and looking into Baroque literature.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with a thorough warm up, usually lasting for 30-45 minutes. I then choose one of my easier, more polished pieces and sing through it before continuing on to new and more difficult literature. I am a believer in warm ups and vocal health, so I try not to push my voice beyond what it is ready for at the time, taking my warm ups slow and thoroughly.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a B.S. in Music Performance and a Master of Music Performance. Initially I began in Music Education, however I found my love of working one-on-one with students, or in small groups, and the performance track was more suited to teaching studio lessons. I also love performing and the opportunities the degrees held for polishing skills in languages, vocal repertoire, and performing in general.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I have always loved Strauss's "Four Last Songs" for their beautiful melodic lines, rich accompaniment, and deep subject matter. My personal favorite performer of this work is Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
When will I start to see results?
Results come with regular lessons and practice. Lessons are only as effective as a student is willing to put in time to practice. Children tend to learn fast, adults tend to have more established habits, however there is no set amount of time it takes to see results. It depends on the individual person. Results will never happen overnight, much as we would all love!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I think it chose me, rather than me choosing it. I could sing from a young age and it was a huge part of my life as a child and teenager. It seemed natural to continue studying and ultimately make it my career.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience! Music takes time and dedication, and unfortunately there is no magic wand to make it happen instantly. I personally have to remind myself to slow down and concentrate on difficult sections of the music instead of just whizzing through it and saying, "good enough."
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always warm up sufficiently and take breaks to stretch, take a short walk (even just around the house), re-warm up, drink water, or whatever you feel your needs are.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The first sign is an expressed interest in music! It's always a more positive experience for student, parent, and teacher if the child wants to be there. For success in lessons, it is important that a child be able to listen and comprehend basic instructions.
