For beginning students, I typically start with the basic fundamentals of the instrument, focussing on right posture, grip and sound. For intermediate students there is more freedom. If there is a good understanding of how the fundamentals work, the student can share her / his preference with me. Since I teach all genres, there is a very broad palette to discuss. Whenever I have a good feeling with the student's preference, I'll come up with a system so we can start working on new material. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
We all have a tendency to be against nature. it is very important to find the right voice teachers for ourselves like finding the right physicians for ourselves who are able to help our problems and to learn about our body by nature. For the selections of song and operatic arias, I let the students select for themselves at first and I will advise them to try out the appropriate selections of song and arias for them to develop their ability to feel comfortable to sing with joy and accomplishments eventually.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. I'd like to find out what my students are listening to and craft lesson around the music. Read More

I am a dedicated instructor and take pride in the work that I do. Teaching my students, and seeing the progress they make throughout my time with them really brings me joy. In 1995 I was certified in music teaching in City College. I started playing with bands and traveling all over the world; and even played in Madison Square Garden here in New York. I’ve recorded with more than 300 different artists in Latin bands as well. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my teachers could be said to be inspirations. My first teacher, who was only a few blocks away from me in my hometown, inspired me to put work in every work, to inch up further in my progress. The painstaking first 10 years of my childhood under her tutelage, where I devoted 1 hour a week to lessons no matter the season or weather, allowed me to forge a foundation from which I did not fail. I dream of finding students who may have this as well, so that I can pay this amazing gift forward, from my first late teacher, Ms. Esther Pfeiffer, who was a truly dedicated woman of music and who was able to know of my progress 10 years after lessons. I hope to learn of students who have had the same story from my own teaching.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always had a piano around me in my house, and my father was an amateur pianist. He was always enchanted by the piano, and is the kind of individual who really notices what his teachers are teaching, whether or not he has luck. I am grateful for this example of one who takes his instruction seriously, because it inspired me to start taking piano lessons at the age of 6. From there, practicing was encouraged, and sometimes enforced by my parents, until there was a point in high school that I recognized what I had learned as a great gift. After that point, that initial flame was only further fed by an appetite to learn as much as I possibly could, and play with the same passion as the musical heroes I had acquired. Hanging onto every note of a musical hero is its own source of learning and inspiration.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am grateful for the moments at a restaurant or bar, where I enjoy making music-- it's a great thing to be able to share the amazing force that brings all human beings together, and every performance is an accomplishment in my mind. Some key things lately have been the ability to share the music that I've written personally at clubs in the New York Area, and I hope to share more music with the world, through the passing years. I am also very proud of students that take what I teach them and use it to enrich their lives. Maybe this is in a small way or maybe this is in a large way; it doesn't matter to me, I just enjoy the things my students accomplish.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
In high school, I knew I wanted to be a musician. By about Freshman year of high school, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. It may have been the summer I worked at a summer camp for elementary school children, that I learned that this was what I wanted to do. It was my greatest passion at the time, and such passion has never subsided. I have taken to this pursuit through thick and thin, and I only wish to use my gifts to bring forth catharsis and positive changes to the world.
I remember a moment of awakening as a student at a summer camp at Stanford Jazz Workshop, that made me fully realize, in that moment, this was what I was going to do. There have been many moments since of assurance and others of discouragement, but I still have a strong sense that this is what I am meant to do.
