Instruments: Flute Piccolo

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! So I hope to help every student develop at their own pace. I encourage this by realistically setting specific goals for each student at each lesson, making sure I am as clear as possible to help encourage this in any way. I also make myself very available for answering any questions any student might have, as well as working outside of the lesson to try and find the best way I can help each student. Read More

As an adjunct voice instructor at NYU I am always thrilled to teach a variety of levels of voice students ranging from beginner to advanced. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

I try to focus more on technique and the physical approach to the instrument, with the bass being so large and cumbersome it is most important that students are treating their own bodies well! Musicality is also very important, I may ask my students to listen for the longer line within a peace. If they cannot find the larger phrase we can explore it together! The focus on technique may seem tedious at first, but my students see vast pay off in their solo pieces. Read More
