Instruments: Voice
Voice lessons are meant to help you maintain vocal health and achieve control over your voice in a way you would like to hear your self. They are for you to be happy and content with your voice. That is why we sing! Exercises are there to help you get the vocal technique into your muscle memory, and as soon as we figure out what helps you do that, we apply it into the song you chose, or that I have suggested.

Instruments: Violin Viola Piano Voice
My teaching experience began 6 years ago when I was a high school senior. I began teaching students in my local orchestras, as well as adults wanting to start out. When I moved back to Long Island after graduation, I began teaching the same age levels. In New York, students are often encouraged to participate in NYSSMA Festivals, thus I have gained extensive experience preparing students for violin and viola solos. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Then we will work on vocal exercises that I’ve already taught them, and maybe some new ones based on what I hear in their voice now. If they seem to have an emotional story to tell, I will pick a song on the spot to reflect how they feel that day. Or we will work on a song we have sung in the past that suits my efforts to move them forward in their training. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Music
I began teaching both privately and as a group instructor 4 years ago while studying in Undergrad. Since then, I have had the wonderful opportunity to be a teaching assistant at summer jazz workshops, and have been teaching privately in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and now New York. Instilling a love for the process of learning and practicing is my top priority as an instructor. Striking the right balance between regimented fundamental practice and pursuing the students' personal musical interests allows the student to develop a healthy sense of discipline and reward in all aspects of their life.

Instruments: Piano Voice
During our lessons, you will learn the mental, physical, and theoretical aspects of singing. Starting by building a strong foundation of physical technique, we will make the most out of your natural instrument by finding the ways you learn best. You will come out of our lessons feeling confident that you are able to control your voice and be able to use it healthfully. Most importantly, this should be fun! Read More

I have been playing the guitar since I was eleven years old and the bass since I was fifteen. Read More
Instruments: Double Bass
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
-I find it's the material that I don't know how to play, that requires the most practicing. Don't spend too much time practicing the things you already know how to play. It's the speed bump, or the train-wreck sections, that need to be dissected.
-Breaking bad habits and reinforcing new positive habits is essential in the practice session.
-A 15min practice session where you get desired results or learn something new, is far better than an hour practice session in which nothing is learned and bad habits are repeated.
-Try the idea/technique you are working on, in various musical settings, and your brain begins to engrain the new information.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have two Music Degrees in Performance. I found that focusing on the playing technicalities would make me a more practical musician in a business where playing can get musicians into many doors. Aside from teaching, it's performing that makes my living, and gives me joy playing. Maintaining a good, consistent sound requires that one has to apply his/herself to their instrument often and consistently. Being a performance major equipped me with practice tools and repertoire to keep me motivated to 'stay in shape.'
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style/genre of music to play is jazz. Jazz is a liberating way for me to fuse musical traditions with inventive discovery. Jazz musicians 'compose' on the spot, using the sounds and ideas from within and/or around them, to create a one-time-only experience. I find myself to be most creative when I'm improvising music. In that setting I'm free to choose the musical sounds and personal expressions I want to choose at any given time. I also find that jazz is such a broad kind of music. Not only does jazz come from specific traditions, but it embraces any style of music globally, especially in our time. There's a larger palette of influences to channel into my playing.
When will I start to see results?
You will begin to see results when the student becomes driven to reach his/her goal established. The student has to take responsibility for the sound he/she is going for, and to work it out in practice. Results happen when the student takes time out to practice diligently and frequently. When a student relates musical activity to other areas of their lives, they begin to develop a relationship with music/their instrument, and this motivates them to discover more about what they can do on their instrument.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I believe intonation and clarity are the two biggest challenges a double bassist will always face. I've heard professionals and musical heroes of mine, tell me the same thing. It's a struggle for all bassists. One thing I've noticed being an orchestral bassist playing with other stringed instruments, is how bumpy and tonally inconsistent a bass player's notes could sound in a musical phrase, compared to those of a violinist or cellist. There are certain notes in certain positions that have a distinct vibration. Therefore finding an even sound all over the bass requires specific actions for each particular note.
