Music Lessons in Hastings On Hudson, NY

Instruments: Violin Viola

For beginning students, I use the Essential Elements book 1. This book introduces the student to the instrument in the most practical way while making it fun, and it has the student reading music from the beginning, which I find very important. After this, we go on to Suzuki book 2 and a scale book. Then we move our way through the Suzuki books and start to incorporate more complex scales and etudes. Read More

I am currently a piano and voice instructor at Bronx House Inc. as well as a piano, voice, guitar, and ukulele instructor with Blue Balloon Songwriting school.

Throughout that time, I had taken on private students of all ages for both piano and/or voice lessons. Read More

I specialize in classical music, R&B, pop, and speech work centered around gender and identity. Read More

Seeing a student progress is the whole reason why we love teaching! I make it a point to give positive feedback as much as possible while still addressing what the student needs to work on. A student will become motivated once they see improvement in themselves. I utilize motivators that I have experienced throughout my career, such as finding a drummer that really speaks to me, and trying to mirror them language wise, or stylistically. Read More
