For beginning students who are children, I typically start with an Etude and music theory based curriculum. 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. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

I like to see students getting excited about learning new concepts in music. I also like to see music becoming a part of their lives and learning. I enjoy passing on what I've been given. I like to see music becoming a part of students lives and being an enjoyable experience for years to come. One area I specialize in is helping students with their band or ensemble music and giving them the extra help they may need to excel in their band or choir classes in school.

It is not unusual for me to have to repeat a lesson two or three times before moving on. Musical concepts grow on one another and continuing on to a new concept without an understanding of the current concept will only lead to frustration and the beginning of losing interest in the piano.

Instruments: Voice

A lot of technical definition and mastery of emotional delivery. We also work on breathing, phrasing and song interpretation, song delivery and characterization. I push my students, but gently and with a lot of sound encouragement. Most of my students become obsessed with singing once they realize how good they sound when the proper techniques are applied. Professional business skill development is also introduced to advanced singing students. I'm rather animate about work done outside the studio as well as in lesson sessions. Read More

Again, as stated above, my approach is based on the proven CAGED system, and stresses mastery of the basics, using the language and concepts of "classical", jazz and blues -in particular. I begin by establishing what students (already) know and don't know about music and their chosen instruments, making connections between pre-existing knowledge and concepts, and "filling in holes" -while teaching these basics. Then, as soon as students are able, we begin applying this knowledge -these concepts- to their preferred musical mediums -in addition to "branching out" to apply basic knowledge/concepts/skills to increasingly more advanced applications.
