When it comes to teaching piano I use the faber method. I like the combination of theory, ear training, and sight-reading that it offers as those are fundamental skills to be a good musician. If they are able to successfully complete those books, I go into solo repertoire and work on fingering techniques as well as reading music off a lead sheet as you never know when you want to play something and the sheet music is not available.

Gaining a full understanding of the student and their needs is the most effective way for me to cater my instruction. (I should note that I have experience teaching recorder and piano to a student with autism as well). At the end of each lesson, I like to de-brief with the parents about the student's progress that day and to discuss their assignment for the week. I also like to be a resource for my student in and outside of the lesson, so parents and/or students are always allowed to contact me about questions or concerns during the week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have taught Piano and Chamber Music classes at the University of Prishtina, Kosovo. In the community of musicians, I am known as a reliable accompanist on the Piano for Singers, Flutists and Clarinet players. I am currently based in the New York City area and take an active part in the Music life there. I'm presently part of the teaching staff at the Stamford Music and Arts Academy. During this time, I teach the Piano and Music Theory privately throughout the Westchester County area and Lower Connectitut. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet Keyboard
My teaching style is both rigorous and positive. I believe that the best way to learn any skill is through hard work and persistence in a judgement-free, positive psychological environment. I work in a routine every lesson so that students understand the next step in the process. I make accommodations for each student depending on their personal goals, needs, and learning styles. No two students are the same, so no two lessons should be the same. Read More

I have seen how music education helps my students become great thinkers, community leaders and artists themselves. As a teacher, I strive to engage students by nurturing their passion and curiosity for the arts and learning as a whole. It is my goal to help my students take what they learn through music and apply those skills to other areas in their lives, much as many of my mentors have done with me. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I don't have a favorite but in order:
Baroque
Renaissance
Romantic
Classical
Contemporary
Romantic
Baroque:
I think Bach when I hear Baroque. His music can be played by all ages (the early ones excluded).
He has a wealth of music that I love playing, especially the contrapuntal variations. His music is also sacred, and serves as excellent chorus practicing.
I'm interested in courses J.S.Bach gave to his family so they could advance musically and share methods. There already have definition sheets in Germany.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I was already playing guitar at my tender age, and was watching the band ELP a 'power trio'. Keith Emerson was the leader and one of his arrangement "Pictures at a Exhibition" became famous. He had many keyboards and could combine them like an ensemble of hard rock. His concerts were hours+ and he showed no tiredness. So electric keyboard would be my next electric. Carl Palmer also played with power and precision on the drum orchestra so that would be third instrument - electric dums - would be the third choice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
The only musician in my family - My aunt to be precise - loved signing jazz and show tunes. I can recall many a wedding where my aunt sung after the ceremony whole pieces when people danced. I admired her projection of her voice and the way she could change the style of music.
I'm sorry this is all I have for this answer because my aunt is only one who sang (myself included). I remember singing Mozart's Requiem and seeing my family in the audience cheering me own as I sang as well as possible; we got a standing ovation and I was thinking of one point in the future when I would have children my own.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was in my teens I listened to many styles in my music class and I started to think about becoming a professional musician. I made a conscious decision to practice and study scores. Later at Mason Gross School of the Arts in my second year of getting my Master of music I formed a band that played many of the pieces listed above. It has been exciting walking on a stage I never did before and start the band with my open strings. I haven't stopped the classical group but am putting my effort to my band.
