Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
No matter what the ability level and age, I try to find out what music the student is interested in. I do not teach from prefabricated books but rather teach songs to students and within those songs there are lessons. I have devised my own teaching methods which have been highly successful. For younger students, teaching traditionally can be extremely tedious and they can lose interest fast. I teach songs to my students and I find lessons within the songs. Read More
Instruments: Violin
As a founding member of The Moirae Ensemble, I design and perform concert programs that feature contemporary women composers, the most recent of which includes two world premieres and will be presented at Barnard Hall as a part of their renowned concert series. I also habitually appear around the Tri-State area with such esteemed ensembles as Concerts on the Slope, New York Classical Players, and The New York Chamber Orchestra. Read More

1.Lessons should be interesting, easy to understand, and progressive while moving in step with curriculum goals, making us of current and traditional books, multi media and real time activities. 2. Some students respond more to one sense or another : sound, touch, sight.... hands on. use of computer methods to help. 3. Give bigger challenges to those that are exceptional. 4. Contemporary music is very exciting for symphonic or jazz band. There is much music available for a young audience using current movie and tv themes, African, Latin American & Brazilian & New Orleans rhythms as well as pop arrangements for concert band or jazz orchestra , march band & percussion class . 5.

Sometimes the best way to learn is to just pick up the guitar and play it. I try to keep this in mind when engaging with a student. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I'm very passionate about music and sharing the knowledge I know to students. I was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and started playing the drums when I was 8. I started out playing rock/pop and then slowly went into jazz. Now I am interested in playing a wide array of genres. I graduated from the Manhattan School of Music with a Bachelor's in Jazz Performance. I have traveled to many places across the world to play music: such as China, Mexico, Hawaii, and here in New York. Read More
Instruments: Cello
I started teaching cello lessons 10 years ago in an after school program for 3rd and 4th graders. In this program, I taught music theory and group cello lessons for classes of 4-20 students. Around this time I also started teaching private cello lessons to students who wanted to move at a faster pace than group lessons. Since then I have taught many students of all ages and and levels. Many of my students have started to play the cello with no musical background or knowledge. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I choose my primary instrument by chance. A friend asked if I would play bass in his band, and i said yes. He had an old bass laying around and I learned how to play by watching and listening to him. I fell in love with music and playing and finally took lessons. Playing the bass became my life. It has changed the way I think about everyday things in life. I hone in on small details and think about decisions I make all because I picked up my friends old bass. I do not know where I would be without it.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of many musical accomplishments. When I first started playing I was asked to play gigs on Cape Cod, where I am originally from. I was paid very well and made connections that I hostel have til this day. Going to school for music is one of the biggest accomplishments. Going to school really helped me get organized with my music and life. I have managed bands and played in them. I have played really great venues in NYC, venues you hear your favorite bands have played. I have played with grammy award winning musicians, and have met countless friends through music.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had private students go on to high school bands and have been accepted to college because they have played music. I have students who were very grateful just to have played in my school band. Success, for them, is something I would hear when they said thank you to me for staying after school to help them learn a piece of music or a scale. I have given awards to my students because they have gone above and beyond what was asked of them. Some students have started their own bands in hopes of playing in NYC.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on your instrument is being as good as you want to be. Playing an instrument takes constant practice. You cannot stop just because you have reached your goal. You have to sustain your goal by practicing and learning more. Music is infinite in that way. I would say technique is very hard to master since there are many techniques to choose from, but learning when not to play is the even harder. Knowing when not to play makes or breaks a musician. Great musicians know when to lay out and when to play technical.
