Instruments:
For students who are young children, I typically start by addressing the importance of playing what you hear. So, I will teach them beginner classics, such as Twinkle Twinkle and Merry had a Littl eLamb, but I also teach them what thunder sounds like, or a siren, and etc. by drawing on everyday life obejects that create noise. I then move on to learn my student's interests to device a method of positive reinforcement if they complete their homework asssignments or answer questions correctly, usually in the past this has been candy. For adults, I really try to find out what it is they love to listen to and what it is they want to learn, and then I am basically a tool for their disposal for troubleshooting and motivation.
Instruments:
I'm a passionate and highly motivated drum instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I hold a BM degree in percussion from The Juilliard School of Music. Attended The prestigious Drummers Collective in New York City. I've had the oppurtunity to play at Carnegie Hall in N.Y., and tour through out the world.
Instruments:
I am a firm believer in tailoring the method of instruction to the individual's needs, motivations and expectations. Especially with music, in my experience, each person is looking to get something a little different out of learning to play. My teaching methods vary as greatly as learners do. Some key elements include identifying the end goals of the student. Does he/she want to start their own rock band? Play in the school's concert or jazz band? Attend a top-ranking music conservatory when they're ready for college? Maybe he or she heard a song they really love and want to play it for someone special. Whatever the motivation of the student, there is a different method ideal for their learning process.
Instruments:
I pride myself in being a very flexible artist. I have ample, academically trained experience in Jass as well as clasical composers such as G.F. Handel, Paul Creston, and Darius Milhaud.
Instruments:
By trying to find out what inspires each student, I can customize their instruction to help develop a passion for their instrument. Nothing is more rewarding to see a student enjoy and become a confident musician! I allow each student to move at their own pace, but always challenging them so they do not become bored. Each student will need a small notebook for each week's assignments as this communicates to the student and parent what expectations have been set for the next lesson. I use a lot of teaching tools, flash cards, rewards, games, videos etc...sometimes we are in the floor learning rhythms with blocks or up moving to a new beat to feel the pulse! I believe in lots of praise and acknowledgement of ALL accomplishments, big or small...a child advocated will make them eager to learn more!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
