Since I strongly believe each person has his own learning style, I cater each lesson to him personally. I customize each lesson according to my student and the pace appropriate for him. Typically one of my pre-college student's lesson bags will include the following material: a lesson book, theory book, technique book, 1 or 2 supplementary repertoire books, notebook, flashcards, and handouts, which include sight-reading, lead sheets, progress charts, memos, etc. Not every item will be used each lesson, but certainly each month.

I have been a highly effective piano instructor for over forty years. While having taught many pupils to play simply for their own enjoyment and satisfaction, I have to my credit a number of students who have been accepted as music majors at leading conservatories and universities and have embarked on their own performing careers.

From there, well look at the music that inspires you and craft a strategy to increase your comfort and proficiency in that area. Read More

I studied composition at Haverford College, where I led a number of vocal ensembles and music directed several musical theater productions. While at Haverford, I toured colleges on the East Coast with my male-voiced a cappella group, and I also toured both Mexico and Germany with the Chamber singers of Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges.
