Instruments: Saxophone Flute Music

I have been teaching saxophone and flute lessons since 1984. I have taught in schools, colleges, and privately. I teach all levels from beginners to professionals. Learning an instrument should be a fun experience in the process of development. I also teach ages from seven to ninety years of age. I have typed all over the world as well as being a professional recording and touring musician. I have been in the music industry for forty years. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I took private piano lessons for over 10 years ever since I was a kid, and I have learned a lot from my teacher, not only about piano techniques and methods, but also of how to interact with and teach different people of different ages. As I am continuing to further my music career and establish myself, I am excited to start teaching lessons for the first time. I was classically trained, but also incorporated a lot of different musical styles such as pop, jazz, blues, musical theater, American standards, and church music. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I started taking piano lessons at age of five and already knew that it would be my career’s path. I always loved everything that related to music: dancing, composing, and singing in a school choir. I participated in many recitals, competitions winning some prizes, so it became clear I could not see my life without music. I enjoyed playing many different types of concerts in Russia getting the best experience as a piano player. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet French Horn Music

If the student already has a grasp on the fundamentals, my focus goes to exercises that extend range, fine-tune timbral sound, build technical flexibility, and expand dynamic range. The repertoire is typically "suggested" by me (to reinforce learning objectives) but is not "officially picked" without the approval and enthusiasm of the student. I also heavily emphasis repertoire analysis because I believe that a student's musicianship operates at a higher level when they have well-rounded knowledge of the piece they're playing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

All students will always have at least one piece that they have chosen to work on to keep interest while building skills. For adults I like to use Alfred's Basic Adult All-In-One Course. This has a site that can be accessed at home for extra help and accompaniments to play the songs learned. I add technique to adults to keep the fingers moving such as Hanon and Czerny. Adults usually know what they are interested in learning and I point their instruction towards their personal goals. Read More

I began to take music lessons 20 years ago. When it came time for me to choose a degree and career path, I sought the idea of music therapy - using music to benefit and help others. After learning that career did exist, I completed my education and training to become a board certified music therapist (MT-BC). I understand deeply on a personal and cognitive level the importance of music, and how it shapes and moulds a person's personality and ability to connect with the world around them. Read More
