Instruments: Piano Drums
I've been teaching for the past 7 years. I started out giving private lessons in my studio in israel. Later on when I moved to Boston, I began giving private lessons at students homes ( students age ranged from 9 - 45). During this time, while attending the New England Conservatory, I also gave master classes at public schools as part of an outreach program I participated in. After graduating NEC, I moved to New York. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I cater to each students indivual level of experience and start teaching based on their initial level. As long as the student is learning and having fun, I'm doing my job. It's all about each persons' desire, drive, and ability level. I work hard to hone in on each students individual needs, as they vary greatly based on age and experience. I have knowledge and repertoire for all sorts of genres, including musical theater, pop, country, opera, rock and more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My experience as a voice teacher dates back to 1995. I was invited to teach several Masterclasses over the course of twenty years. The invitations came from institutions such as: The Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, The Guildhall School of Music (London), The Cleveland Institute of Music, The Royal College of Music (London) and The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I began teaching private lessons in my home studio in 2008 and in September of that year I was invited to join the music faculty at Oundle School, UK. Read More

My teaching style depends on the student's age and ability. Student's at different levels and ages will need various approaches. For everyone, I try to be calming, supportive, and as fun as possible; there are differences for various ages. With very young students, it's important to be as supportive as possible; especially when learning new things that can often be frustrating. Having an environment of support is paramount to me in these lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My methods are largely dependent on each individual student - their own learning styles, goals, and interests guide the methods I use. For many of my beginning students who are children, I start with Faber's piano adventures. I use a mixture of method books, repetoire, and my own theory exercises until students can grasp solo repetoire. I also help students compose their own music, which we have fun doing! For adult students, I tailor my lessons to the student's goals. Read More

I have been teaching private piano and violin lessons for about 6 years. Read More

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.
