Instruments: Piano Voice

I expect the student to practice and learn for him or her self. I am there to facilitate. I am there to help. I am there to be the teacher and to encourage. I give each student the freedom to learn and prove to themselves just how wonderful they can be. I sit down with each student and parent, if the parent is coming with them, in the beginning and discuss with them the importance of practice and what it does to help with the learning process.

I tailor my methods to suit my students' unique musical needs and goals and adjust them overtime as the students' abilities grow. For beginners, we will work to develop a strong foundation in the basics of music such as instrument layouts, basic stick and mallet control, sheet music and rhythm reading, and playing in time. For more advanced students, we will focus on a variety of topics such as touch, tone color, interpretation, aural skills, music theory, score study, and musicianship. Read More

I've been a private lesson teacher since 1997 and have taught in 7 school districts across the Southeastern PA/Southern NJ area since 1999. My ensembles have consistently won State, Regional and National Championships over this time and my students have become members of elite performing ensembles like the Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps (Fort Mill, South Carolina) and Miami, Florida's New World Symphony. While school level instruction is a critical element of student development, private lessons offer the individual attention not available to students taught in large groups, while yielding results of greater quality at a faster pace.
