My #1 policy is: Never leave a student with a confusion. I personally make sure that the student has fully understood the lesson before I leave that even means staying over the time scheduled at my own cost. I make the lessons fun and set goals for every lesson. This is to aid the student in acheiving something and getting the feeling of accomplishment when having done so. I make to goals real so that they can actually be attained. Read More

Over the years, I have developed a way to help students to arrive at answers to their own questions. The ultimate way to really grasp information is through our own discovery. I believe that every musician, no matter what level, should have a game plan as to what they are going to practice/achieve throughout the day, the week, the month, etc. We will develop skills to make practicing efficient and enjoyable.

I have been teaching professionally since 2010. I have worked for various music schools and have given lessons privately. I have experience in band coaching and teaching song writing and recording. I teach lessons out of my own recording studio, and I am comfortable working with students of all ages and skill levels. I consider myself to be great with beginners because I focus a lot on technique and how to make a clear clean sound on the instrument which is usually the first barrier a new student encounters.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with simple chords and teach them a few fun songs. If the student is interested in learning how to read music, I will use Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance if they are interested in performing live. For adults, I like to find out what they are most interested in, whether it is a specific genre, (jazz/classical) or if they are more interested in learning songs (classic rock/pop/etc.) or songwriting.

I have taught since I was in college. I regularly taught music theory and piano to non keyboardists at the special music school. In addition I have worked with students of all backgrounds.

I have performed at Carnegie Hall and at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Read More

I truly enjoy watching my students develop a deep and important love for music. I believe the way to facilitate that is to really get to know your students. Some students benefit from organization while others do better with a more relaxed approach. I take the time to understand what each individual needs and I reflect on what I can do to meet them where they are. My lessons come with structure AND flexibility. Read More
