Music Lessons in Englewood, NJ

Instruments: Cello

I grew up with music all around me. Both of my parents play classical instruments like the cello and violin. My childhood home was filled with sounds of classical and chamber music. Therefore, it is not so surprising that I too chose to move in the direction of music. I went to Bard College with no clear intent on what to do, but I continued to play in orchestras and chamber music groups, and knew that no matter which degree I chose, that I would always love playing the cello.

Instruments: Guitar

I find it really rewarding to see a student find a passion for music. Its my main goal and priority to make sure that my students are happy learning the guitar instead of it feeling like a chore. In order to keep the lesson fun and productive I split the lesson up so that half the time we are going over the scales and chords, and the other half we are playing and improvising using what we went over.

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Music

I find that it is important that each student realizes that progress comes at different rates for different students, and that’s perfectly natural when learning!

Each lesson begins and ends with a verbal and self acknowledgement of “discoveries”. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I believe that setting goals and "deadlines" with the student, for example regarding the learning process of a piece, helps to improve better and faster, but also limits the frustration that an unsuccess can cause. I am always focused on how to make my lessons enjoyable, fun and useful. I am always aware of posture and relaxion of the student; two main factors that can help the student to be active and tireless throughout the course of the lesson, and during their own practice time.
