Music Lessons in Irvington, NY

Instruments: Voice

I began teaching voice lessons at New Windsor Music Academy in March of this year. While I teach different ages, I like to use the same technique for all. Each singer has different elements with their voice, yet can be trained with the same technique at the start. Once they are used to the new technique, I can help them with parts of their voice that are not as developed as other parts. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I want to make learning the drums as much fun to the student as possible. If they aren't having fun then I am not doing my job as a teacher. Every students has different inspirations and different passions in music so I make sure to make my lessons specific to each student. Some students want to learn their favorite songs, while others want to learn a specific genre of music. Read More

My music teaching experience started eight years ago. I go all over New York City to my students homes to teach them private individual music lessons. You must practice five days a week at a consistent time within the day. Practice and repetition and review are major key points for any student to progress in music. Repetition and practice and review is the mother of success in music. The main reason you should take up music is that you love learning about music and love learning how to play different musical instruments. Read More

Instruments: Drums Conga

My passion for music and instruments dates back far more then I could remember. From a very young age, I have loved the idea and bringing joy into people's lives through music. For me, music has always been a means of expression, a way to express my love, passion, and commitment to life and this world. I enjoy all different types of music, however, I am a purist, and I have found that R&B as well as Merengue and Salsa are a few of the ones I enjoy teaching and learning about. Read More

I'm fairly flexible, laid back in my teaching style, and always passionate about helping those who need it. At the same time, I also encourage discipline and consistency in practicing and making improvements.  I always try to keep each student learning at least one new thing for each lesson, while allowing him or her to make steady and consistent progress without getting stuck in a rut.  I always encourage steady and consistent practice throughout the week to further individual progress and get closer to desired results.

Instruments: Voice

Learn how to make a secure beautiful sound. We will talk about the basics of singing…Breathing, support, and shaping a proper vowel. To be a secure singer, you need to develop beauty, quality, and healthy production of the tone throughout the voice. We will work on proper breathing, support (they are different), “placement of the voice”, verticality of the sound and vowel modification. Although proper singing is similar for everyone it isn’t exactly the same for everyone. Read More

My teaching style involves tailoring my lessons to each student's specific needs with an emphasis on ear-training and proper instrument technique. I like to get going on music that moves the student as quickly as possible, so we will use music that is of high interest to the student to develop the ear, learn a bit of theory, and put in the work that will allow the student to really unlock their instrument.
