Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I’m an enthusiastic piano instructor very much used to dealing with kids. Having my own new son, I’m looking to settle into piano teaching and finish a degree in Music Performance. My passion is to share the beauty of music with each student I undertake and to motivate them to be their best self and project it through their practice and songs. Though music performance is a favorite past time of mine, teaching is where I really feel I’m called to. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Double Bass Music
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 students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
I am a passionate musician and educator. I have sung around the world, have had one of the best educations imaginable and love to pass along my experience to my students. I have worked with classically trained singers and musical theater singers alike. Some have gone on to sing at opera houses and some sing for enjoyment. I enjoy teaching beginner and intermediate saxophone students, and beginner piano students as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I usually start with a beginners book for children or adults. We go through the lessons at their own speed. As for practicing the scales, I do not introduce them until the students is thoroughly familiar with the keys (the alphabet of the keys.) For adults I introduce the scales and arpeggios much earlier. I work with the students at their own speed. They like my style of teaching. Lessons with me do not seem like a chore because I am a teacher who does not get upset with the students . Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I have been fortunate to live and teach internationally (Soviet Union, USA, Singapore, Australia, Central America), making me also multi-lingual, being able to teach in English, Russian or Spanish. From beginner to advanced level, and students of any age are welcome! I make strong emphasis on proper technique and hand positioning from the very beginning, as well as developing quality of sound and musicality. Dexterity exercises, scales and music theory are added into each lesson, to help students with understanding of music and proper unique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Helping Singers realize their "Dream" is my passion. I gained international recognition as a vocal performer of note, having performed on the stages of Acapulco, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Aruba, Curacao and Buenos Aires, to name a few, as well as major U. S. cities. To date, I have two albums to my credit, "Time Wounds All Heels" and "The 23rd Psalm", the latter containing the highly acclaimed title song that while being performed at the 1984 National Baptist Convention musical in Los Angeles, received a standing ovation by some 6,000 listeners.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Technique! That is the ability to play a note with the correct attack, duration, phrasing and dynamics that allow a note to sing. Knowing when to play and when not to play especially in jazz or improvised music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend practicing for 30 minutes a day. It is more effective for some people to practice at two 15 minutes intervals a day. It is my experience that it is more effective to practice everyday than to practice for hours to " cram" for the test.
When will I start to see results?
I've seen results within a few weeks. I've asked parents to hang in for 6 months gently encouraging the student. If the student continues to complain about lessons or refuses to practice it might be time to move on. As a caveat I've never heard anyone say they were happy about giving up lessons. I've heard people say they wish they continues or stayed with it.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always liked guitar. I played the piano and the idea of playing with 8 fingers and six strings with 23 frets was interesting to me. I thought electric guitars looked cool.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like the John Thompson series. The pages are not cluttered with superfluous pictures. I can expand on the lessons and use my own techniques and philosophy to teach.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Living off grid in the wilderness as a hermit growing my food and playing guitar on the porch. My wife has terms and conditions that prevent me from doing this so music it is.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have successful students. I would have to ask their permission to drop their names here. They have played with world renowned bands and become wanted side men.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not a teacher. Its a long story but I knew a guy about 15 years older than me who showed me how to play jazz chords. I thanked him until today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was always there. I wanted to play guitar, but Mom and Dad insisted on piano and I'm glad they did. Piano opens up all other instruments. I took up guitar as an adult. I have a friend who is a great guitar player, he says piano is order and guitar is chaos!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
writing and composing radio and TV jingles. I'm also proud of the students I've had that went on to be professionals. Playing with Bo Diddly was a kick.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I f they ask or respond to your question positively. I think 6 years old is a good time to start. I ask the parent if their child does well in school. Kids are funny I've seen excetions to all the rules!
