Instruments: Piano Voice
During 14 years , I've been teaching piano and voice to all aged students at several Music Schools. When I lived in Florida, I taught piano and voice in American Children Orchestra for Peace .Then, I moved to New York City and began to teach in Public Schools with Afro-Latin Jazz Alliance (ALJA). I have experience as a choir director preparing concerts of children choir. Also I conducted a youth orchestra in my country. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching voice and piano lessons in grad school and have been teaching for the past 5 years. I love sharing my passion for the voice as an instrument, and I feel that a strong foundation of music theory and keyboard skills is a must for vocalists. I enjoy incorporating all of these skills into lessons. I've also found that no matter what style and genre of music interests you there is a primary fundamental healthy technique as the foundation for all of them, and I find it ver exciting and thrilling to develop the skills needed to unlock this vocal freedom!

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Music
I use the method created by Adolf Herseth (Principle trumpeter in the Chicago Symphony for 50 years). I learned this method from William Fielder at Rutgers. This concept is based on using air as the primary energy source for producing sound. We will work on strengthening the breathing apparatus to be able to produce a pure clear tone that is without distortion. From there we work on being able to keep that same sound thought the full range of the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been a teacher since I was 17 when I began teaching for some after school programs. Since then I have taught many different aspects of music on many different instruments, but no matter what I am teaching, my approach is the same. My focus is 2-fold when I create a lesson plan: to cover the knowledge required to accomplish student's goals and to maintain the level of fun and enjoyment on the way there. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I love tailoring each lesson to each individual student I teach. It is important to me that my students are interested in the material that they are learning. I enjoy helping my students reach their musical goals by selecting repertoires that appeal to them while also helping to address and resolve their technical deficiencies. For my beginning piano students, I typically start with Faber's Piano Adventures. For young singers, I use the Kodaly Method as a way of developing musical skills and teaching musical concepts.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Drums Recorder Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
For beginning students, I typically start with the method book that the child is given by the school Music teacher, making certain that they are at least adequately prepared to play their assigned studies (or pages) for their school Music lesson. I also incorporate playing the Duets provided in that volume, along with the students. I then suggest that they purchase other necessary methods, duets and solos at their local Music Store(s), as they progress, and they will therefore require more advanced Musical materials than that used at their school.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Drums Banjo Mandolin Fiddle Orchestral Percussion Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Hi there! I am a live-long musician. I consider myself a student as well as a teacher. I believe that music has the power to create powerful community bonds and connections. My lessons are tailored to this philosophy, exploring the music that really moves my students and imparts the ability to actively participate in musical communities as well as communities that transcend music. It's all about unleashing the creative joy inside of us and expressing ourselves through music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
quality over quantity.
it's interesting to hear all these stories about people practicing 12 hours a day etc and believe me, I've been there too! But when you are a beginning students, all these things can sound very overwhelming.
My answer to this is: you can't practice 12 hours a day. You can play 12 hours a day, that's something else.
No matter how much time you have to practice, spend it well. Focus on just a couple of things over your practice time and focus on just 1 idea at a time. You will experience that this is the best practice you can get.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on what instrument your child wants to learn.
Very young children need to be big enough to hold and play an instrument. This is why children can start earlier with for example percussion lessons.
Some children show interest by themselves, they start hitting pots and pans, start singing and dancing, or start imitating playing an instrument.
If you are not certain if your child is ready to start lessons, you can always contact a professional teacher and she or he will have the best advice ready.
When will I start to see results?
If the student starts from scratch, progress will be seen on a weekly basis.
For intermediate and advanced students, it depends on what material they are learning. Some etudes might take up to a few weeks, month, to show clear results of progress.
Seeing results is the combination of having a good teacher and being a good student.
When you get lessons taught the correct way, and you practice the correct way, progress will naturally be seen.
It also depends in the individual, some people are quick, some people are slower. And it's good to know that this has not so much to do with talent! I can be just a phase!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father was my first music teacher. He taught me the basics of the clarinet, drums and theory. He taught me how to read music before I went to the local music school. He inspired me by transferring his passion and love for music and art. Getting the right positive feedback was very motivating. Because he was also a high level performing musicians, I believe he knew his craft so well that he could even give me some life lessons at a very young age. And this very last thing is what inspires me the most. When I teach, I'm aiming for that as well!
