Music Lessons in Brielle, NJ

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

I have experience teaching all levels and genres and change my teaching to what is best suited for the learner. With piano students I enjoy using John Thompson and Alfred methods for beginners and I choose different songs as students get more experience. For voice students I use simple songs to develop their vocal technique. Through effective warmups and reading, students will develop musicianship skills. I focus on technique development through music learning. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I have over 10 years experience teaching drums and music production, which I began after moving to New York around 2010.

The lessons need to be fun! I try to balance out 'fun' practicing and focus, goal-driven exercises, which includes learning the drum parts to music the student likes. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

I've had a number of devoted teachers and being in New York there's always a chance to learn something new by simply saying hello to a musician.

I'm a student of the directions I was nudged towards by several key teachers. Read More
