Music Lessons in Union, NJ

Instruments: Double Bass

If a student can grasp at least one or two concepts in one full lesson, and be able to internalize what they learned, I'm very pleased and inspired to discover how that concept sticks with them in the following lessons. I love developing new, positive brain patterns off of musical experiences that the student resonates with the most. I congratulate a student when they've corrected a negative habit, or if they've improved or tried something new, and that inspires them to keep trying. Read More

I tailor my instruction to each students needs. For a beginning student, the fundamentals are key. Once they have a good grasp of the fundamentals, realistic goals are set for each lesson. I like to show my excitement when a student has accomplished a specific goal well. I enjoy having the student play duets with me. Learning how to play in time both with melodies and chord strumming is a very big part of the lessons. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 15 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 10 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. I've also found that a combination of jazz and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the drums and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

When students are able to set forth their own individual goals, I have noticed that they are more eager and passionate about their learning. As their instructor, I assist students in creating said goals, but most importantly, I try to tailor my lessons in a way that helps my students remain inspired while promoting their own growth and fulfillment of their goals. I am also very conscious of the fact that I must teach and appropriately address every single aspect of what students are learning. Read More

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.

My experience as a voice teacher dates back to 1995. I was invited to teach several Masterclasses over the course of twenty years. The invitations came from institutions such as: The Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, The Guildhall School of Music (London), The Cleveland Institute of Music, The Royal College of Music (London) and The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I began teaching private lessons in my home studio in 2008 and in September of that year I was invited to join the music faculty at Oundle School, UK. Read More
