Music Lessons in South Boston, MA

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

As an educator, I'm a dedicated pedagogue. I like to encourage students to think, work, study, and practice the instrument on their own, not only in the class. My leitmotif is "I can't teach you anything, I can only make you think”. As a teacher of clarinet at the music school "Vatroslav Lisinski", my career dates back to 2006. My students have so far won 49 first, 16 second and 2 third prizes in the national and the international competitions. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo

I have had many students on flute, clarinet and saxophone over the last ten years and even extending back into high school where I often tutored younger students. My methods first focus on self discipline through inspiration and time efficient practice routines. I have found through empirical evidence that a student can learn more in 20 minutes with focused and disciplined practice than they might in 3 hours of unfocused practice. I have had students who fall upon a wide spectrum of musical aspirations, from aspiring professionals to students who simply wish to demystify their band music, and I can form each lesson plan to their specific needs.

Instruments: Violin Viola Saxophone

Through my teaching experience, I found that the most effective instructions are those that students understand and accept as their own. This is important in the process of developing their unique voices, and making their own musical decisions rather than copying the teacher's or other players' interpretations. At the same time I encourage students to be good listeners first and foremost. Sensitive listening and attention to detail can lead to great improvement. Read More

It's also important that my students have their accomplishments recognized as it encourages them to keep trying to get better and I will constantly push them to do that. Read More

I hope all my students will become well-known instrumentalists in the future, but I set realistic weekly goals for my students.

Acknowledging the progress and accomplishments while pointing out the places to improve on will help and motivate students to learn more. I will be able to tailor my instruction to students' pace and needs after the first two weeks of the private lesson. Read More
