Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Accordion
I use All for Strings, Suzuki, Klengel (scales) at the beginning level. I proceed to Concerto repertoire, Popper, Dotzauer etc. The usual classical repertoire. I will also transcribe popular pieces or pieces that the student enjoys to really increase motivation. I also test weekly to inform students of where their practice ability is at and what they need to improve on. I have a very effecient practice style that I have developed on my own and am quite proud of. Teaching is my life and it makes me happy to see students improve. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is focussed very much on what the student wishes to learn. Having a set guide pf progression is necessary but not when forced upon. My style involves exploring music together, understanding the thought process behind different pieces of music and applying concepts in fun innovative ways. I have also designed many musical games that are fun and help students remember things better. With every student I put together a custom lesson plan that is designed to show yardsticks and milestones for the student in how they are moving forward with their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
If teaching the 'cello, I like to use the instruction book that I learned from which is Samuel Applebaum's Beginning Strings book and around this I will introduce more international music, often in duet form to help with intonation. After the student develops good basic technique, then sonatas and concerti are gradually introduced. If teaching the piano, then I make sure that Dozen a Day for the beginners is incorporated with any of the beginning/intermediate books such as John Thompson's, Edna Mae Burnam's or Frances Clark's methods and for more advanced piano students the Hanon exercises are included along with the standard Classical repertoire.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
A music student should be able to practice and perform as though no one is watching, and that it is simply the spontaneous expression of the soul! For this, I have to curate material and instruction so that it is authentic and engaging to the student - this is what unlocks the truest connection to musicianship. I believe that high-level training is the diligent pursuit of quality and detail - and that talent is simply how one approaches ANY new material. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Keyboard
I like to work with my students to figure out what their passion is within the wide scope of music, and work from there. My lessons include: technique and warm-up exercises, performance preparation, personalized arranging, and an emphasis on individualized lesson plans based on level, interests, and goals. Depending on the instrument, level, and genre, some teaching materials I like to use are: Faber series, Fingerpower series, Music for Little Mozarts, Czerny etudes, A Tune a Day, Forty Little Pieces, Steps to the Real Book (Jim Levy), Jazz Piano Handbook (Michele Weir), Heart It and Sing It! (Judy Niemack), classical and popular music repertoire, and my own original exercises. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Fiddle French Horn Piccolo Oboe
My approach to learning an instruments is to have the students learn to play by ear first before they can start learning to read music. I find that most students are able to progress quickly because it frees them to focus on the playing the instruments rather than reading notes. I consider reading music like different subject that they learn later. Learning music is like learning to speak. First we learn to talk and then we learn to read and write. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am extremely proud of my Master of Music in Flute Performance and being selected to study in the studio of legendary flutist Robert Willoughby during my graduate studies. I was also extremely honored to be selected as Principal Flute for the National Wind Ensemble which performed at Carnegie Hall.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved the sound of the flute when I would watch the Boston Pops with my grandparents. As a fifth grader I was also drawn to the compact size of the case and the fact that it was easy to carry around.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe that one of the most effective ways to practice is to work on the material in small manageable sections. Within each section it’s important to identify which parts are the most challenging. Once identified begin by working slowly on the difficult part making sure that notes and rhythms are accurate. At the end of your practice session trying playing the whole section that you worked on and see if it feels better to play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is showing a strong interest in learning an instrument I believe beginning lessons with a qualified instructor from day one is extremely important. These lessons will allow your child to start off learning to play the instrument with the proper way to produce a tone as well as helping them learn the proper technique for playing their instrument.
When will I start to see results?
It is important to remember that in order to see the maximum results from lessons your child needs to be practicing their lesson assignments for the time period suggested by the teacher each day. Consistent practice accompanied with weekly lessons will provide the maximum result. Results will be much slower if your child is not practicing in between lessons. Every child is different however you should notice results after the first full month of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was fortunate to have many influential teachers throughout my musical life. I began playing the flute in fifth grade band and from the moment I picked up the flute I was hooked. After trying several activities as a child and not really finding one where I fit in, I was thrilled to find band. It was early middle school when I decided that I wanted to pursue music for my career. It was the combined dedication of all of my teachers that helped me make that decision.
