Music Lessons in Arlington, MD

Instruments: Voice

There are few things I love more than seeing a student's eyes light up when they're proud of what they have performed and accomplished! I try to help students set realistic goals that will make them feel happy and accomplished and let them move at their own pace. I view my studio as a warm place that students can feel safe in to explore their passion for music through their own voice. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For beginner students who are children 3-5, I focus on training their ears. I do lots of "piano key finding game' for them to know the right sound & keys. For age 5-7 I focus on training sight reading skill and fingering skills as well as listening training. For students who have 3-5 year experience, I teach how to express music and how to put their emotions to their performance using piano skills. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass Tuba

My string bass teacher was Charles "Slats"Sladovnik who was a carpenter by trade and played in the Great Neck symphony orchestra, and what we called club dates in that era. I was busy practicing and playing jobs. I normally didn't use the word gig as I felt it didn't give the total respect to all musical work. In my case I soon learned that practice was taking one task at a time and trying to perfect it. Read More

Instruments: Voice

My approach as a teacher is to see what the voice is already doing and improve on the foundation that we already have. All music-making is positive music-making. My students love that I laugh and chat with them during our lessons. I primarily teach Musical theater and characterization, but I can also teach classical music and diction (languages). I believe that style, voice phenomenons, language/diction, artistic innovation, decision-making, characterization, and active choice-making are the best ways to get someone to make great music.
