I always try to adapt to every single student's personality and transmit the passion I feel through my instruments. I believe it is important for a teacher to invest time on their students even when they're not in class, so the program flows better and immediate improvement is more likely to occur. A real teacher doesn't keep secrets. The actual goal for me is for my students to be prepared to play out there in the real world. Read More

I began teaching in early college, tutoring a little in computer science and a little in music theory - until the main music theory tutor graduated. I took over his position and have had a blast since. The main goal of any lessons is the inspire the student to fall in love with whatever the subject matter, and luckily - music is easy to fall in love with! After college i completed a CELTA course from Cambridge, which is a certificate in teaching english to speakers of other languages. Read More

My teaching experience is over 25 years. I have taught private and group lessons in my home, institutions and students homes. i enjoy teaching students who are willing to make the effort to improve and that is achieved by consistent practice. I combine the technical aspects of playing the piano with the joy of making music. For the drums I also emphasize making music. I find that when it is a joyful but challenging experience students tend to progress more rapidly. Read More

Since then, I have taught people of all ages drums, guitar, ukulele, piano, world percussion, and even some violin. I believe nothing is more rewarding than having a relationship to music, and teaching music has given me the opportunity to share the joy of music with others. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Everything we do on stage begins with breath. Sing, Acting, Dancing- all of these require disciplined breath management. Once a strong foundation of good breathing is laid, I tend to use visual-spacial prompts to get the singer to feel the changes rather than use pedagogical terminology. While this is a wonderful set of tools, I will always defer to the student's learning style. Everyone learns differently, and the most important thing a coach or teacher can be is a good, patient communicator. Read More
