Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor who loves sharing my love of music with students. In 2011 I graduated from Haverford College as a Music Minor and History Major. I write songs constantly and have performed hundreds of times as both a solo artist and with bands that I have formed. I have performed in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana. I work every day to become a better singer, songwright, and instrumentalist, and I appreciate working with those who share a similar drive to excel. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

As a kid, I really disliked my piano lessons. as a teacher I want to put an emphasis on having fun in my lessons, because music, as i've come to realize, is one of the most fun activities to partake in. that being said, it is essential to know the fundamentals and techniques, so I will most likely use method books such as Alfred's or Hal Leonard's, especially for people starting fresh.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning children students I typically start with Hal Leonard or a similar reputable music book.  Once the students has a grasp of the fundamentals we will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their age and skill level.  For adult students, I find out what the student is interested in and create a lesson plan that is fun and challenging no matter their skill level. I studied the Suzuki method as a youngster so I understand the importance of ear training and sight reading. Read More

How Does a Piano Work?

...when keys are pressed down. Cristofori made some small adjustments to this system that resulted in an instrument that sounded dramatically new, distinct, and different from the harpsichord. His biggest adjustment was changing the harpsichord string-plucking feature to a new system that used small hammers to strike each string.   The Power To Play Loudly And Softly   So, how does a piano work?
