Music Lessons in Allenhurst, NJ

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music

I like to make things fun and cater to each student's abilities and needs. I like to work from books with beginning students because music literacy is very important to me. As students develop, I begin ear training and diving deeper into music theory when necessary. I think in order to grow as a musician you need to play music that inspires you and I aim to have all students wanting to practice because they are excited about their repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ

I always have taught with patience and kindness and have found that every explanation and solution must be keyed to the needs of each individual student. Through my many years of teaching I have found many ways of explaining each point. It is very important to me that each student play with a musical understanding that they have arrived at thru their own understanding. I have my students play usually in two recitals a year whenever possible-December and June. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I believe that while there are certain immutable principles to how the voice functions, these principles need to be tailored to the particular instrument each student has as well as their nature, and how they wish to express themselves musically.

While doing my bachelor's degree, I tutored students for piano group classes and music theory. When moving to New York, I started teaching piano and voice students in the Queens while doing my master's degree. Two years later, I still have the privilege of teaching those students who have participated in recitals, with enthusiasm to teach more. While teaching, I like to be active in my profession. I participate in recitals, workshops and other vocal activities. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone

I have been a professional musician and music teacher for almost 20 years. In 2016, I graduated with a doctorate in saxophone performance from Texas Christian University. At TCU, I studied saxophone with Joe Eckert. He is a well-known jazz and classical saxophonist and was the lead alto and director of the "Airmen of Note," the premier jazz ensemble of the US Air Force, for 20 years. I have traveled as a performer for several years, and I have recorded multiple major label projects with various Latin music groups. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I've been teaching for the past 3-4 years, and have gotten a lot out of it. I like to make sure the student is enjoying him or herself as well as learning as much as possible in the process. I cater to the desires of individual students and am open to trying new things as well. If there is interest, I can help others write and record music as well as teaching them to sing or play piano.
