I love to teach music and how to play an instrument to any student at any stage in their educational development.

I have been an active performer throughout my career, participating in several ensembles in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Florida in a wide variety of music genres including classical, jazz, bluegrass, American folk, and latin.

I'm mostly focused on keeping my students engaged with music. Some decide it can be a lifetime career, while others simply want to enjoy all the benefits that come from learning an instrument. Our lessons are meant to challenge you enough so you feel motivated but not so much that the challenge appears as impossible and students feel like quitting. This to me is the basic principle of how to achieve a balanced and successful life. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I am a motivated instructor who enjoys teaching students of all ages.  My experience includes playing from memory works by well known classical composers such as Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Chopin and Debussy.  These recitals were before I graduated.   My teachers were impressed that I could play these works from memory.  I enjoyed practicing for these recitals. Playing the piano was never considered a job for me because I enjoyed it so much. Read More

I also introduce "Piano Improvisation" by Frank Caruso, a top Jazz book where you start playing blues and continue with jazz. I also introduce the Jazz series from the ABRSM , a graded program with five books from beginner to advanced. For Jazz repertoire I use "Hearing the changes" by Coker knapp and Vincent, where you learn to memorize close to 500 tunes by ear , classified by their chord changes. After lesson 99 of the Bayer method I introduce "Preparatory exercises in score reading" by R.O.Morris where a more Baroque repertoire is introduced along with reading in the C clefs, a rather challenging book for those who aspire to climb the higher grades of learning to read from an orchestral score.

My approach is focused very much on performance, technicalities, and theory. I believe it is very important for the student to understand how these aspects of playing coincide with each other, and how they are equally essential to music playing. Before giving a student a piece of music to play, I will always play it befoehand and dissect the song into portions that I feel need special attention. I encourage playing with other musicians, and always try to teach the art ofimprovisation, so that the students can learn to play not only by themselves, but with other musicians, using the musicial understanding that it takes to improvise.

"Music Is A Never Ending Journey" I grew up studying and performing music since I could open my mouth to try singing and move my fingers to explore the piano, while watching my mother perform professionally or jam with family singalongs. As I went through all my school and university years, my heart would only yearn for a musical career teaching and performing with children, musicians, guest artists and families with special needs as well.
