Cello Lessons Middlesex County, NJ

Instruments: Cello

In my teaching, I want my students to gain skills, to understand at a deep level what they are learning and why it is important, and, most importantly, to have fun. As a questioning person myself, I encourage my students to ask a lot of questions, to think creatively and independently, and to demand clear explanations from me. I prioritize the development of strong, comfortable teacher/student relationships; I achieve these by catering to each student's individual learning style and sense of humor. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Cello, Drums, Orchestral Percussion

That is my #1 priority. I emphasize improvisation the most for all my students so they are able to express themselves freely on their instrument! From my experience, most of my students, if not all, practice diligently and consistently because they want to! Not because they are forced to, but because they love to. I explore all types of genre from hip-hop, rock, classical, and jazz in order to expand the student's musical palette. Read More

I have been teaching private music lessons for more than 30 years at my home and at my student's homes.  After I received my Master's degree I obtained my teaching certificate in vocal and instrumental music for grades K - 12.  I taught vocal music for the Jersey City Board of Education and later I taught strings for the  Kearny Board of Education.  I prepared students for auditions and recitals always encouraging them to practice and learn music theory and music history.

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 emphasize the importance of basics therefore I usually spend more time developing a solid fundamental skillI that allows my students to progress faster later on when they start playing solo pieces. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Read More
