Music Lessons in Groton, MA

Instruments: Piano

Through my seven years of teaching piano, I have worked with a variety of students ages 5-75. I emphasize technique and music theory alongside excellent repertoire. The student and I generally choose repertoire together, so that both of us can be excited to work on the pieces together. As a composer, I also encourage my students to create their own music.

Instruments: Drums

Listen, listen, listen! Listening is the most important thing that a student can do to get better at the drums. By doing so the student will be able to imitate, assimilate and finally innovate, which is the goal. Listening to lots of records and copying what the drums are playing is critical! Not only will I do my best in teaching fundamentals, technique or more developed concepts on the drums but I will also provide skills necessary to be able to self-learn and practice efficiently so that the student can troubleshoot and not fully depend on a teacher.

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience dates back to my college days. I have provided in-home private piano and violin lessons to students (age 5-22), where I was able to work with students or students' parents and develop the curriculum according to students progress and level. I want my students to enjoy what they learn, and I encourage daily practice and correct practicing methods to achieve maximum progress. The performing technique is critical for beginners to lay down the concrete foundation while performing beautiful tunes. Read More

Instruments: Voice Music

I graduated from Boston University with my Bachelor's Degree in Voice Performance. During my time there I had the incredible opportunity to perform multiple times in Boston Symphony Hall, as well as performing in operas and recitals. I have traveled to Morelia, Mexico to perform in Verdi's Falstaff in the role of Meg, and throughout my performing career so far I have been blessed to study under very successful and talented teachers, and I want to pass on that knowledge and passion I've learned to the next generation of young musicians.
