Music Lessons in Harlem, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice French Horn Music Keyboard

My teaching style is a something I consider to be a hybrid: I combine the academic knowledge I have gained since I started my first piano lesson at four years old, along with the real life experience I obtained as a full-time traveling musician. I take this unique style of teaching and apply it in a very engaging and stimulating learning environment. I like to apply techniques from both the Orff and Kodaly teaching philosophies with younger students. Read More

You need to learn the rules first in order to break the rules! Read More

Discovering music of different traditions and cultures helps understand the general purpose of music. What music is, why we need it and why we want to perform it.

I believe that students thrive in learning environments that are individualized, so I tend to use a combination of custom lesson plans and materials.

Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone

For beginning students, I start with Accent on Achievement, book one. Once the student has gotten a grasp of the fundamentals, I then introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for the student. I will always reference the method book if students are having trouble with a certain technique. For beginning jazz students, I start with the Greg Fishman Jazz books. Once students have mastered this book, I then switch to the omnibook and real book and allow students to learn and try to improvise a solo. Read More
