Music Lessons in Hell S Kitchen, NY

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I love to see my students progress and see how excited they are about what they have learned. I do love my beginner students because they see how music can be so much fun. What I do enjoy is after they have learned the basics of the piano I can finally teach them that song they love so much that probably got them to learn the piano in the first place. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo

For young beginners I typically with Suzuki Book 1 or the Abracadabra Flute Book.  For children preparing for NYSMA I use the Rubank method with supplements from Forty Little Pieces and gradually move on to more solo repertoire.  For adult students I make repertoire selections based on students' interests while taking care to keep lessons both engaging and fun no matter their starting level.  Although my training is primarily classical, I am happy to incorporate music from other genres into lessons.

Instruments: Voice

When I was a college student teaching is not something I ever thought I would enjoy, however, I could not have been more wrong. Through out my musical career teaching is something that I have genuinely fallen in love with. Every person has their own unique voice and it is truly a joy to help someone discover that voice and show them how amazing music making can be. I pride myself on keeping every lesson joyful and reinforcing technique through positivity. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching experience all started 2 and a half years ago when I first began teaching voice and piano in my home studio, working primarily with younger students. After some time teaching at home, I began to work at music studios and had the experience to teach students of all ages and see them progress and develop their technique. My experiences in teaching one-on-one lessons have allowed me to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, as well as their interests, likes, and dislikes, right away and help take their talents to the best of their abilities.

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion

The most rewarding part of teaching is watching the student master something they have worked hard on. I feel it is important for each student to develop his or her own musical identity. Having confidence in their ability, and reaching a level of comfort with the instrument I feel helps them develop both as a musician and in other parts of their lives. The lessons are designed to meet their individual needs so i can help each student progress at their own pace. Read More
