Music Lessons in Manhattanville, NY

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I beleive that the most important part of playing music is the joy of it. It is very important for me that the student will enjoy playing and enjoy coming to the lesson, and have a positive experience of making music. I can notate and arrange almost every song the student wants- and I do it! My students enjoy the privillage to learn every song they hear, with a special arrangement for the student's level and skills. Read More

Instruments: Drums

For beginner level students I start out with learning how to strike the drum as well as simple coordination exercises and intro level drum beats. After the student can grasp basic exercises, I introduce learning how to read music which will lead to reading out of various drum set instructional as well as technique books. For more advanced students I work out of books focusing on furthering coordination and technique, widening the ability to play different styles, chart reading with play alongs, soloing as well as the students interests.

I like to divide my lessons in two parts: first we address the most formal aspects of the lesson, most of the times using a method book or given hand-outs or whatever relevant material was suggested to the student; the remainder of the lesson is dedicated to work on the students choice of a song or anything less formal suggested by myself. This scheme for lessons might be different regarding the level and commitment of the student, but it is in general the outline I use. Read More

I began teaching voice in college both privately and in group settings. In addition, I directed and taught music for two theater productions.

Additionally, I am trained in music theory, ear training, Eurhythmics, acting, Alexander technique, vocal pedagogy, French, Italian, German, and Greek so I can offer insight on any of these topics.
