Instruments: Piano Voice
I started piano when I was 5 years old and voice when I was 13 years old. I attended the Interlochen Arts Academy my last two years of high school as a Voice major and Piano minor and went on to achieve Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in Voice at the University of Michigan. I studied piano in college as well. As an alum of The Juilliard School, the Metropolitan Opera and many regional companies and orchestras, I will share with you the secrets to my success, and help you achieve success as well! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
It has always been my joy when I see my students later on perform music that they love. Thus, I as a music teacher, would be more than willing to help my students sing and make music at their own level and eventually climbs up the musical ladder. To do this, setting standards and specific and realistic objectives are a must. During the process, regular assessments are done so that students know their accomplishments and feel more comfortable making music. Read More

From 4th grade to High School graduation, I also recieved NYSSMA awards and scholarships as a flutist. From age 16 to presently I have been a Church organist and choir director. Recently I have been awarded the "Best of 2015" music teacher from Thumbtack. I'd be happy to have a half hour consultation with no obligation. The lessons can be in your home using your own piano or in my piano studio in Copiague . Read More
Instruments: Piano
There are many method books available, one that I have used is "Piano Adventures" by Nancy and Randall Faber. There are many series of books now available with varied styles of music from beginning to intermediate levels such as those by Martha Mier, Robert Vandall and Christopher. Very young students and sometimes even those who are older have difficulty understanding musical notation and it is useful to teach them by rote while also improving reading skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
My teaching experience dates back to my undergraduate days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time 7 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students all across the globe in the US, Singapore, and Taiwan. I have worked with beginner, intermediate, and advanced players and adjusted to their needs accordingly, as well as gained valuable knowledge on how to efficiently resolve the difficulties encountered by the students. My own experience with how my teacher taught me also inspired me to have acquired many problem-solving skills and I aspire to pass down those abilities to my students. Read More

My teaching experience began in 2016, when I enrolled in a degree program in secondary education at Southern Connecticut State University. At Southern, I learned very much about human development, and teaching methods and strategies. I also gained over 120 hours of classroom observation experience. Upon graduating with a B.A. degree in Physics (Southern doesn't offer music education degrees), I was hired as a Paraprofessional in a New Haven Public School. Read More

The way I learned is the way I teach. I was taught the same way multiple ways and because of this I can give students different avenues to learn the same thing. So if they don't understand it in A, or B, I still have C, and D as a back up. I try to include the student to help navigate their own lesson plan and figure out what they want to focus on. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child sings or taps on things when they hear music, or even when they do not, it could be an indication that they have some innate talent. If they are just going along with the crowd because their friend is in the band that is usually an indication that they are really not that interested in the music itself. Those situations are not necessarily bad either because while playing with other children they may recognize some connection to the music. Students who want private instruction need to find an instructor that they can easily understand and identify with.
When will I start to see results?
If a student practices every day for a week they will immediately see the difference. Unfortunately most students do not believe this. I see this at all levels. I have always made my practice sessions enjoyable. I really enjoy playing so I try to get my students excited about it as well. I like to practice first thing in the morning. This is the great thing about keyboards as opposed to pianos. Keyboards allow for much more privacy because they can be can be turned down or sent through headphones only. Practicing is not a social event so the more focused a students is when they practice the better.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a very good private instructor in high school who was an older gentleman who had made a career for himself as a professional musician and instructor. Working on my own now in the same field, I can see why he was always happy. He really took an interest in his students and had a very successful practice. As a younger musician, I was more focused on performing. At this point, I get as much satisfaction out of private teaching. In private practice, I have the chance to really focus on the development of my students.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always go through things slowly and then in various tempos. It is important to play in a very relaxed state and to listen carefully to what you are playing. I use tuners extensively. Metronomes are good as well but they must be used properly. It makes no sense to set metronomes to meters that we cannot follow. Also, people often set metronomes improperly. Students may not feel meters in jazz when the metronome is set to 4/4 because jazz feels much more like 2/2. Music that is written in 6/8 may be played better if it was played with a feeling of two as well.
