Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
My teaching includes all aspects of music; Musical theory, sight singing, as well as Music History. My teaching style allows the child to have fun while they learn their instrument, but I emphasize a strong practice regiment. Your child will understand that while learning music and an instrument can be fun, there will be some work involved if they want to become great. I usually use either the Alfred or Rubank method books to supplement a curriculum that I tailor make for each individual student. Read More

Instruments: Piano
Nothing kills enthusiasm in the long run like rote teaching. With a complete beginner, especially a young child, an abstraction like music can be overwhelming if not presented in a structured manner. For that reason, I generally speak at length with the parents and explain that the preparation work takes several lessons. I begin by introducing young students to the keyboard and familiarize them with both black and white keys quickly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My teaching experience dates back to my undergraduate experience, where I vocal and music directed 6 student theater productions. This includes providing one-on-one vocal instruction for leads and ensemble members and teaching full vocal scores to ensembles of over 20. I was also the music director of my A Cappella group, so I have experience auditioning, training, and rehearsing a cappella singers. I am also a trained pianist and accompanist, so I provide tracks for students virtually and live accompaniment for in-person lessons and use these skills to provide piano lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
There I discovered my passion and predisposition for teaching, and from then on, I started to have my own studio of a vast variety of students, from pears, kids, and adults, all coming from the most diverse background. Ive taught in every environment possible, from institutions to private studio, from group classes of kids to masterclasses for advanced players, developing a strong communication skill to be able to deliver the knowledge to every different kind of student helping them to recognize and actualize their potential allowing the blossoming of their musicianship.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are 3 main ideas to practicing. The first is to maintain a consistent warmup routine, that is performed daily. The second, is to make sure practice is done at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Even if this consists solely of warmups, that is a win for the week. I believe in the student starting with what is doable, and then taking on anything additional as long as the stability of daily practice is maintained.
I understand that this is a bit of an intimidating requirement; however, working up to the goal of practicing 5 days per week, is completely doable and also up to the student to rate themselves on. I may step in from time to time to keep track of what's going on, but this is only to keep the student involved in their own self-initiated practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has a passion to learn music, and has taken initiative to start to do something musical, that is a great place to be coming from. Progress each week is attained as the student is able to channel that spark into practice. The child should also have an inquisitive nature, or should be encouraged to develop one throughout the process of lessons.
It's not easy to know if a young child is a "piano personality" for the long term, but in the meantime, I try to make thing fun for the student.
When will I start to see results?
Adult players will instantly be trained in a ground-up technique for playing jazz standards. One may see their way to playing a jazz standard from start to finish after the first lesson! We build upon concepts to keep the student learning something new on every lesson. I believe that development will happen before one knows it-- they will be able to use their playing to enrich their own life, and will have plenty of musical concepts to digest and enjoy as they bring them success in their studies.
After a few months, a student should be confident of a change. While I will do my best to give the student an idea of whether or not they are doing enough, I believe that at the end of the day, the student needs to make sure they are progressing from lesson to lesson, and then re-evaluate their progress as if becomes suitable. I expect that a student will be coming every week, so that the past week's concepts are further cemented, and can be developed one step further with every session.
If a student doesn't have time to practice, it's recommended that they still attend the next session. Why is this?? Because part of the process is having some inspiration. This is my job, and I do it with great passion, so please consider that this will be available for you if taking lessons.
