Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
I have created my own method of teaching which I have perfected over the years. I create my own exercises and practice materials based on the level and interests of each individual student. I use the software program "Finale" in order to create the musical compositions that I prepare for my students. I always accompany my students on the piano. I am well versed in the various styles of music and am comfortable teaching students how to improvise also. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
For beginning students I typically start with Hannon and my own finger exercises. I ask the the student to draw notes on a staff so they can get familiar with reading and composing music. All students from beginner to advanced, are given warm up exercises and recommended pieces to play . After 30 years of teaching piano, organ and flute ,I have written my own lesson books series. Each lesson program is custom fit to the students style and playing level. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo
My experience in teaching is still growing. I have previously taught freelance back in 2010 assisting high school students prep for NYSSMA. I have taught toddlers as well as adults since then off and on but am looking to start to teach more consistently and regularly. I also have experience with children and young adults with special needs. I encourage a consistent schedule and regular practice but also like to make sure my student enjoys the music and learns to appreciate the instrument and what they are playing. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
My teaching experience dates back to just before I started college, as I began teaching lessons part time in 1991. I believe that students begin playing an instrument because they think it is fun. My goal is to have lessons be fun all while establishing a good core of basics to build upon. I do this by learning about each studentindividuallyand catering my lessons to their likes/dislikes. This can be done by learning all types of music; classical, pop/rock, showtunes, country, etc. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I am looking for students who have the time and energy to dedicate themselves to practicing a minimum of four times per week. My lessons are fast paced and fun, and students who practice regularly can expect to see noticeable improvement in their playing each week. In each lesson I will introduce some new techniques and will work with you on scales, fundamentals, exercises from a method book, and music (classical, jazz, or both, depending on the player's preferences).

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I have been teaching for more than four years, and each time I encounter a student, I encounter new challenges. I am somewhat stern, yet kind, and I can easily make students laugh. I also try to find out more about the subject that each student likes so that we can both incorporate a bit of fun into the lesson. My sense of humor has come in handy more that once when I find that a student is struggling. Read More
Instruments: Flute Clarinet
Music is all around us, and I love the process of understanding, creating and sharing my passion with my students! I have been playing clarinet for over 20 years and teaching private lessons for over 10! I love helping my students improve and become better players and grow appreciation for music. I have a lot of experience preparing students for NYSSMA, All County and All Eastern festivals. My students range from beginners to advanced! Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I think it’s a smart move for any serious student to learn several instruments. My start was in piano, after starting flute, I learned recorder for early music and even took a try at saxophone and French horn for awhile in college. Learning any other instrument gives the student a fresh outlook on music overall.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I felt music would be my path after about a year of studying flute, it just felt natural for me to use music to express myself each day. Music is not an easy road to take in life but is extremely rewarding.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I really love to play anything I feel tells a story that I happen to enjoy playing, so this would en-compass many pieces, both old and new.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I decided to get a degree in performance in order to concentrate on my primary instrument. While in college, I also improved my piano skills and participated in every type of ensemble I could and performed as much as possible. I also worked hard at theory and sight-singing/ear-training to make it possible to learn music much faster.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Each morning I play through all my scales in patterns, including major and minor scales, thirds, sixths and arpeggios. I also practice many tone and technique exercises, rotating to new ones each day. In the afternoon session I will then work on any literature I need to prepare.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
A number of my students have scored at the very top range of the NYSSMA state exam in NY and several have gotten perfect scores to join the All State band and orchestra at the annual NYSSMA convention. In addition, several of my students have scored very highly on the RCMA exam. They all did well because they did their scales every day and kept up on their sight-reading and practiced their solo pieces as they were instructed to do.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was not the best piano student but really loved music, my teacher told me to try something I may like. Having heard the flute in Beethoven symphonies at home, I remember loving that sound so decided to give it a try. After a few weeks I started to get a good sound and then just fell in love with it.
When will I start to see results?
Any student studying music will see results as soon as they follow the path laid out for them by their teacher. What they get out what will be from what they put in.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my beloved piano teacher, who was not a very good flutist, but was a great musician. He taught me to express myself and tell a story with each and every note I played and to never lose the joy and wonder of music.
