I will start of by getting to know the student; their needs, goals, interests, experience, etc. We can start of with discussing these things and music interested. I will assign music and students may choose music to work on as well. The first lesson will be an introduction and then we will build repertoire. As we are working on music we will discuss ways of learning, memorizing, technical musical terms, and more. Read More

I usually start my piano and vocal students with playing and singing both major and minor scales while using proper fingering and while breathing properly on this musical journey. On the other hand once a student shows and develops better fundamentail skills, then I'll start introducing intermediate musical concepts and ideals. Then we can focus on getting prepared for a great performance either at school,church,or home in front of family and friends. Read More

I teach combination of the Suzuki method and the Hungarian style (stressing the natural, comfortable, painless, tension free method). For young students, the Suzuki method is great, since the repertoire is all fun! Also the CD that comes with every level is vital! Children enjoy and benefit from that. I am an audiophile, so I can set up students with a quality hifi system on the cheap - this is so vital in Suzuki method, as he stated in his book, Nurtured With Love. Read More

For students earlier in their journeys, I do believe a practical understanding of music and basic theory is fundamental to unlock both the art and the science of performing. After warm up exercises that help acquire the vocabulary and sonic principles of agile musicianship, I would immediately dive into material that the student finds engaging and personal! I am an advocate for storytelling in the arts first, with mechanical technique and instruction used as vehicles to empower the pure love of expression! Read More

I parlayed that into a full time business by my last semester of college during which I took on an abundance of private students in Rochester, NY and single handedly implemented the Cornerstone Academy's music program in Brockport, NY. When I returned to the tri-state area in August 2008 in the midst of the recession, I thought it would be in both my best interest, as well as the most effective way of strongly supporting and teaching a variety of budding musicians, to continue to expand and build my studio of private students.

During my lessons, I like to create an environment free of judgment, embarrassment, inhibition, self-doubt, and any other emotion or thought, internal or external that is going to deter my students from becoming the best singers possible. Im always open to try different techniques and approaches in order to allow my students to open to me and to the music. Singing is one of the most therapeutic practices anyone can experience because the music is literally running in and out of your body. Read More

I am a singer who loves working with students of all ages and sharing my love of music. In 2002, I graduated from Musik-Akademie Basel, Switzerland with a Bachelor of Arts degree in vocal Jazz Performance and piano. I have performed with bands in Europe, South America and the US. I self produced, written and recorded two albums where I bring my jazz and south American influences. My continuing education never stopped, as I have been studying classical singing for many years as well as recording and audio techniques. Read More
