Music Lessons in Tarrytown, NY

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

In my studio and teaching methods I want everyone one to know that I teach all ages and all methods! Due to the variety of ages and levels that I teach, as well as the interests of different people, I think it is best to individualize the methods to each student. I customize the lessons to the age, level, and interests of the students! I do require some classical music for students to learn at all times. Read More

I can tailor my guitar lessons to the needs of every student. Practice is required but I prefer to call it FUN. If you practice daily I guarantee that you will notice progress and discover something new every lesson. I first started as a classical player to teach students about classical guitar. I can also teach students interested in improving their finger-style technique. For these students interested in Jazz, you have found one of the more encouraging teachers around who will show you both the tradition of the instrument and encourage pursuing your own style through writing your own compositions.

Instruments: Flute

I focus on the individual more than anything else. I tailor my teaching style to each student.  When something clicks for them, I stick with it and adapt to keep the student engaged, interested, and passionate about music.  If I find a student is not fond of a certain book or solo, we change course together. Sharing my passion for music is very important to me, and being able to do so with students is incredibly rewarding to both parties.  I always go at whatever pace the student is comfortable with to keep their success rates high.

Instruments: Voice

A voice lesson to me to should be easygoing and open, while having a task to accomplish. I encourage my students to enter my studio with an open mind and feel free to explore artistically. We set goals together and progress vocally with each song. I have an extensive library of music as well which my students are free to use to find new material. It's very rewarding to guide a student along their journey to discovering their voice! Read More

I base all my teaching on all the different private lessons I've received over my 10+ years of playing and learning guitar with very different guitarists/musicians. I started playing when I was 11, but I find that for any beginner, it's important to start with material that gets instant "musical" sound from the guitar. I believe this consists on working on basic chords which you can use to start singing songs, or learning some easy riffs or melodies that will have you playing music in a matter of a few weeks.

Instruments: Clarinet

My college clarinet professor used to have a saying. "It is all available to you". I teach my students using this same motto. Playing the clarinet should never feel like a chore, or something that they have to feel stressed and worried about. From day one, I make sure that with every new note and concept, that they feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to make clarinet and music fun, something that they genuinely love to do. Read More
