Music Lessons in East Quogue, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Synthesizer Euphonium Music Keyboard

My methods are pretty straight forward. I focus heavily on technique. A good foundation can help a student be their best in each genre. I personalize my lesson plans and drills to accommodate the student's strengths, weaknesses, and over all goal. I will push you to your limits so you can go even further than you thought you could. I also teach you how to be a healthy musician and steer students away from bad techniques that can cause damage or harm them in any way. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My teaching style is to connect with each student. I believe it is important, because every student learns at a different pace and in different ways, so the lessons can not be overly structured. I believe that all aspects of music (playing the pieces, reading music, theory, rhythm and history of the composers) are all important and should be covered in the lessons. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Tuba

I come from the teachings of Edward Kleinhammer and Emory Remington, both outstanding trombone teachers. My undergraduate professor studied the techniques these two fine musicians advocated, and passed it on to me.  Read More

Instruments: Voice

Nothing is more rewarding than guiding students to develop their own style while having fun exploring new territories! To get there, I usually start off with a song out of the students' favorite genre or pieces the students bring. Knowing your wants and needs, I'll tailor the next steps and exercises to get you to your individual sound - encouraging you to get ready for stage! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I use different methods for different ages of students. It also depends on how and what the student wants to learn about piano, as well as their future goal which related to music. Every year around November and December, I organize a charity concert called "fusion" in Manhattan, students will be invited to perform at the beginning of the concert as our special guests. As well as working with Steinway & Sons, we will hold a student concert every year for giving students a stage to perform. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

Since I was in high school, I have been very passionate about teaching violinists and violists of all ages and levels. I began playing at the age of four studying the Suzuki Method and mainly use the Suzuki Method to guide my teaching. In addition to teaching, I have had the opportunity to perform all over America and much of the world, including Canada, China, much of Europe, and Israel. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Oboe Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

To me, the student's journey ALWAYS comes first, and I believe that is why I have been able to have been teaching for 20 years. Most of my students stay with me for up to 11 years as I teach them how to speak music fluently by studying several genres and perhaps multiple instruments. I am extremely passionate about each of my students, being very diligent to 'see' the individual for who they are, sculpt and carve a very unique custom path to success on their instrument. Read More
