My teaching experience started after college, teaching a family friend bass guitar. From there I realized I could just as well teach guitar, piano, and saxophone as well. I find it rewarding to watch people grow and learn skills they can use the rest of their life, enriching their life with the expression of music. From taking private lessons of my own on saxophone and guitar throughout high school and college, I've learned that consistency of practice is key! Read More

I typically begin my lessons with a 30 to 45-minute session to introduce music theory and the chosen instrument. For beginner students, I use a combination of the James Bastien and Alfred's Basic methods to teach foundational music theory. Based on the student’s instrument of choice, I supplement these lessons with additional materials tailored to practice and performance. For adult students, I prioritize their interests, adapting my lessons to make the learning experience engaging, enjoyable, and relevant to their musical goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching private lessons when I was in college. During my masters program, I also taught chorus. I have taught private lessons for more than 15 years since I first started. I teach all different levels from beginners to advanced levels, and I have also taught student between the ages of 4 and 80. Classical music for me is the foundation which can help students with many techniques. Using techniques rooted in Classical music can enable the student to be able to sing, play or even compose other style of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My mother and grandmother were concert pianists and Victor Borge a great uncle do music was always in my blood. I also chose the violin because I heard Isaac Stern with the Boston Symphony play the Brahms Violin Concerto when I was in sixth grade and I asked my parents why hearing it made me cry. I realized then there was beauty and feeling in music and it was something I knew I had to have and have been with ever since
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The most important thing was right after my father died I had a chance to perform a solo at Carnegie Hall and it brought such happiness to my mother. Anther time was when I received an award from President Clinton for keeping children off drugs through music. I am also so proud of my students snd what they went on to accomplish
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On violin it would be smoothness snd not to fear higher positions. On the piano not to be overwhelmed by the number of keys. Some young ones feel scared because they have such little fingers
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had students win scholarships to private school and colleges. Three students were chosen to perform at Disney World for a backtrack of music being recorded for a musical. Several have performed at the White House and several around the world. I am proud of them all actually.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. I had a teacher that was never mad even if I made a mistake and this was at the z conservatory level. Instead she would tell me to watch a particular finger or spend more time on a phrase but she was never angry.
When will I start to see results?
I ascertain that there is something positive at the first lesson. It might be as simple as how well the child sits at the piano or how nicely the child holds a bow. My lessons are all taught in a very positive way.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is not about the quantity of time you practice but the quality of time you do practice. A person that practiced two hours may not be practicing effectively while a person practicing only a half an hour might be practicing utilizing all corrections and style. Time does not mean quality.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he/she has an awareness of the particular instrument and requests to play. It is not what the parent wants but what the child wants. This is something I discuss with a parent before the first lesson
