Hi, I am a very dedicated and committed teacher, who loves teaching clarinet playing and sharing musical ideas while interact with my students. In May 2019, I graduated from the Juilliard School with a master degree under Mr. Anthony McGill, the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, who I have been studying for 6 years. Now, I am studying with Dr. Robert Spring and Dr. Joshua Gardner at Arizona State University, where I am also a teaching assistant. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Music

Music is something that gives me a sense of self-gratification, takes me to a whole new world, where everything is right. I've been teaching and making beautiful sound for 45 years. Music express emotions with no words, it is a language of love, love between you and deep inside yourself, it awakens something that you never imagined before, you'll find something that you never lost before, that is with you, deep inside you.

The advantages of private lessons over in-class tuition are legion. All children learn differently, no matter how old, and if I can recognize the student's specific needs - be it confidence, focus, a goal - the classes can be tailored to meet individual needs. Another advantage is rate of progress. In class the faster learners can lose interest as the slower struggle to keep up. All can arrive at the destination but not all take the same path. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I studied dance at the age of 6. My mom bought a piano for herself to learn to play. I would go to the piano and try to make up songs that I could dance to, which then lead me to take piano lessons for 15 years. Committment, joy, and passion are the keys to learning and growing as a music student.  I enjoy teaching all styles, as well having students learn to arrange and express their own style within the piece they are learning.

Instruments: Guitar

With young students, I allow myself to be a bit more comprehensive in that I can start from the very basics from the beginning and even come up with simple games with rhythm, basic ear training and reading notation. The big challenge with young players is the actual act of physically playing the guitar and I encourage parents to invest in a quality instrument that is easy to play. I try and get my older children and teenagers to try and play as early as possible to develop a passion for the instrument, but not before building an understanding of the basics. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music

I have taught piano since my college days. I have seen the student's joy and pride through his/her musical accomplishment. Not only do I teach how to play the keyboard, but focus on the understanding of the music being played because that truly is the key (no pun intended) to successful learning. I believe in positive reinforcement and develop a 1-1 relationship with the child and parent. On another level, learning music positively impacts the development of my younger students in math, analysis, coordination, language, and discipline. Read More
