I do like to lean on the Berklee methods but do supplement these materials with a good deal of additional material in theory and chords. Everyone is different so the approach depends on the individual. Read More

This was all a lot of fun; I taught through P.E.P. for four years, and then through a special allowance continued to teach a large number of students for an additional year after graduation. After that, I went on to pursue my Master of Music at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, simultaneously receiving a teaching assistantship which enabled me to go to school for free and receive a modest salary in addition.

Instruments: Piano Cello

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with teaching basic music theory, scales, and start with John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course for the piano students. For Cello beginning students, it's very important to have a correct playing position. Therefore, we will spend some time on knowing cello, position for both hands, and then we will start with Suzuki. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. Read More

Instruments: Cello

For beginning students I start with the Suzuki cello books, and teach books 1 to 5. I reinforce the Suzuki with pop/ non-classical songs, depending on the student's interest. After Suzuki 5, which is well into the intermediate level, I introduce individual works (small concerto's, sonatas, etc.) and cater them towards the student's ability and interest. For younger or beginner students, I reinforce the Suzuki books with sight-reading, and as they progress, I add in etude studies.  Read More

Instruments: Violin

I have also delved into disciplined study of chamber music and orchestral playing in the Orchestral Studies class, multiple chamber music groups, and Longys special Orchestra Flex program, a reimagined conservatory orchestra, producing three concerts a semester, featuring works from standard repertoire such as Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart, to compositions by marginalized composers, such as female composers, Asian composers or Longy students and faculties. My repertoire ranges from Baroque composers such as J. Read More
