Music Lessons in Revere, MA

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 17 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio and private schools/universities for the past 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Guitar

It is very important that lessons be fun as well as informative, and as soon as I am able, I like to develop musical, and technical skills within the context of real music, that the student enjoys. Of course for absolute beginners, we have to develop certain skills before we are able to do this but it is important to me, that any student always has material that they enjoy practicing, and that the learning process is never too abstract or needlessly sterile.

As a flutist, my performing has taken me all over the US and the world. From my education at the University of Oregon and the New England Conservatory, I have reached the highest level of excellence in music. My performances have earned accolades from publications such as The Boston Globe, The Boston Musical Intelligencer, The Oregon Daily Emerald, and New York Concert Review.My love for performing is equal to my love of teaching.

Instruments: Guitar

I listen to what the student has to say, and also hone in on where they are currently in their musicianship. This allows me to really see what areas need to be focused on specifically. I strongly encourage students to push themselves and will often provide slightly more challenging material to help them improve. One of the most rewarding moments is seeing a concept/idea click with a student. The lightbulb moment is absolutely inspiring, not just for students, but for everybody else involved as well.

I cater lessons to YOUR needs and goals. I am not invested in there being a "right" technique of any kind. Together we will create a custom approach so that you will love the experience of playing the music you love.  I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week.  You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals.

This experience not only instills a sense of accomplishment but also cultivates confidence and stage presence. With adult students, I adopt a personalized approach. Understanding that they often possess specific interests and goals, I prioritize open communication to discern their musical preferences and aspirations. This enables me to tailor my instruction accordingly, ensuring that the lessons remain engaging, enjoyable, and relevant to their ability level. To enhance the learning experience and make it more multisensory, I incorporate visual aids such as flashcards or interactive apps, which reinforce music theory and note reading. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

While playing in a jazz combo in college I was asked to teach guitar to a couple of people. From there I gradually built up piano and guitar students over the years on a part-time basis. I've taught children through adults in many styles: rock, pop, folk, jazz, classical, and r&b. I’m a good teacher for early learners, very patient and I believe that learning music should be as fun as making it. Read More
