Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar
As a multi-instrumentalists, I use a cross disciplinary approach even when a student is only learning one instrument. I do make use of method books for beginners, and the specific book depends upon the instrument, but I have my own methods and materials which I utilize in my lessons. Building a repertoire is encouraged, and I use the material to assist in instructing in theory and musical communication. My students are taught to be self-sufficient, by way of practice, study, and cultivating an "ear." Read More

I am passionate about all facets of music and music education. I am motivated by my students, learning from them how best to instruct them and act as a guide through the universe of music. I am from a family of musicians having grown up in the culture of musical performance on both my mother and fathers side. I graduated from SUNY Empire State with a Bachelors in Music Performance with a concentration in Bass and Piano. Read More
Instruments: Cello
For beginner students I usually start with teaching the fundamentals of how to hold the cello and bow and how to make a sound, using Pizzicato and bow movement. I then introduce the Suzuki volume 1-4 books and make sure that the student learns a piece that will help him or her improve the most but at the same time will ensure an enjoyable and successful learning experience. For intermediate and advanced students I usually get familiarized with the student's skill level during the first lesson and build an individual curriculum for each student that will involve pieces the student loves and wants to play, pieces that will challenge the student, and pieces that will help the student reach his or her goals as a cellist and musician Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola
For young piano students, I useJohn Thompson's Easiest Piano Course and A Dozen a Day. For adults, I like to useAlfred's Basic Adult Piano Course for a lesson book. I use various books for additional songs or technique depending upon a student's interests and abilities. I like to use different types of music - classical, traditional, pop, modern, etc. For strings, I like to use String Builder, Suzuki, and other method and etude books. Read More
Instruments: Cello
I am a professional freelance cellist in the New York City area and I love performing a wide range of music from classical to Broadway, jazz to rock/pop, and beyond. I am originally from Memphis, Tennessee where I grew up studying with my "cello dad," Peter Spurbeck at the University of Memphis and spending my summers at the Sewanee Summer Music Institute where I learned to appreciate orchestral music.

Instruments: Cello
I am a warm and intuitive teacher who loves to guide students toward a life long love of music! I keep lessons fun and light, acknowledging accomplishments and pushing students toward their next milestone. I tailor my teaching style to each students learning style and personal goals, but also provide a solid structure for building practice habits and good technique in younger or beginning students. I love playing along with students in duets, as making music together is one of the great joys of learning an instrument. Read More
