I make sure that my students go at a pace that works for them. I try to find out what kind of learner they are and then I tweak my curriculum to best accommodate them. I always do my best to make sure that my students are having fun over anything else. Incorporating songs from both my library, and ones that the student already knows, we develop ear training skills by playing along and trying to copy the pros! Read More

I'm a dedicated and passionate vocalist who is looking forward to sharing my love of music and talents with others so that they too may develop a passion for singing. I graduated from Western Connecticut State University with honors and received a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance. I plan to receive a master's degree in opera studies or vocal pedagogy and then continue to study for my doctorate, (DMA.) I was also born with a special gift known as absolute (perfect) pitch.

Instruments: Piano
Students have to listen to the sound they are making - whether these are scales or the repertoire. They will become great pianists if their concentration is great. There is no miracle in piano playing. it is a precise and exact art much like carving. All students know - "we have to practice." That is easy - anybody can practice. Laziness is not a problem any more. Lack of interest, however, can be a huge problem, and it arises because students do not know HOW to practice. Read More

For beginning students I typically use Piano Adventures by Faber and Faber. This lesson series helps to ensure each student gets a well rounded music education. For those with previous experience, I will get to know where they're at in their knowledge and ability as well as which music interests them, and we go from there. I encourage all my students to explore genres/songs that appeal to them since that's what makes music fun! Read More

Luis D. is a riveting, up and coming flutist from New York City. He is a consummate stylist, enjoying a wide range of styles from the Baroque to new music. Even at a young age Luis showed promise. He was a student with the Young Artist Program at the Kaufman Center while he attended High School at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts. World famous Tony Bennett, the President of the Sinatra School, ound Luis in the hall one day and called him a “cool cat”, and then helped him get the opportunity to perform in Carnegie Hall with Alexander Markov, one of the top violin virtuoso's in the realm of classical music.

The most rewarding part of being a teacher is to see your students grow and love their musicianship. Music is a language that is more universal than any other language in the world! Passing on the knowledge and works of composers and artists from yesterday to today. I set realistic goals for my students that are achievable and rewarding. I tend to look on the positive side of each performance and I teach through kindness humor and respect. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I don't have a favorite but in order:
Baroque
Renaissance
Romantic
Classical
Contemporary
Romantic
Baroque:
I think Bach when I hear Baroque. His music can be played by all ages (the early ones excluded).
He has a wealth of music that I love playing, especially the contrapuntal variations. His music is also sacred, and serves as excellent chorus practicing.
I'm interested in courses J.S.Bach gave to his family so they could advance musically and share methods. There already have definition sheets in Germany.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I was already playing guitar at my tender age, and was watching the band ELP a 'power trio'. Keith Emerson was the leader and one of his arrangement "Pictures at a Exhibition" became famous. He had many keyboards and could combine them like an ensemble of hard rock. His concerts were hours+ and he showed no tiredness. So electric keyboard would be my next electric. Carl Palmer also played with power and precision on the drum orchestra so that would be third instrument - electric dums - would be the third choice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
The only musician in my family - My aunt to be precise - loved signing jazz and show tunes. I can recall many a wedding where my aunt sung after the ceremony whole pieces when people danced. I admired her projection of her voice and the way she could change the style of music.
I'm sorry this is all I have for this answer because my aunt is only one who sang (myself included). I remember singing Mozart's Requiem and seeing my family in the audience cheering me own as I sang as well as possible; we got a standing ovation and I was thinking of one point in the future when I would have children my own.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was in my teens I listened to many styles in my music class and I started to think about becoming a professional musician. I made a conscious decision to practice and study scores. Later at Mason Gross School of the Arts in my second year of getting my Master of music I formed a band that played many of the pieces listed above. It has been exciting walking on a stage I never did before and start the band with my open strings. I haven't stopped the classical group but am putting my effort to my band.
