I'm not one to push a student too hard; after a certain point, it becomes counter-productive. Everyone is going to progress at their own rate and it's my job to find out what that rate is. Naturally different people will gravitate towards different things. By putting some time in and figuring out their strengths and weaknesses, I can address certain concepts accordingly. Personal preference is very important; you can't force enthusiasm. Read More

I first started teaching in the 1990s, in Boston, MA., both privately, and at Berklee College of Music. Since moving to Sarasota, I've taught voice/chorus at Out Of Door Academy and IMG Academy. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with students who are motivated to learn and grow, sing for their personal pleasure, and/or with professional goals in mind. I like to instill joy as well as self discipline. Being from Montreal, I speak English and French fluently, as well as other languages, and love teaching people of every age and cultual background.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The great Suzuki taught through the mother-tongue method. He believed that learning music was similar to learning a language. My view aligns with his philosophy. I believe that students are ready to start learning music as soon as they are ready to begin learning how to speak. The process of learning music is very similar to the process of learning language: trial and error is essential, and mapping the meaning of musical tones is a lot like learning to map the meaning of words.
When will I start to see results?
Results are not about speed. The first thing to understand about music is that almost all of the difficulties are due to not understanding something. If you start from the standpoint that music should be easy, then the only task is learning how to make it easy. In this way, music is a series of exercises in self-exploration.
I believe that results can be achieved every time you pick up your instrument. If you try to make it better each time you play, you are learning something. On the other hand, it can take more than a lifetime to master. It ultimately depends upon your goals and your level of determination.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was very lucky to have good teachers growing up. I started playing the violin before the first grade. My elementary school had a Suzuki program, so I learned how to play by ear for the first four or five years of my training. My elementary school teacher was my first major inspiration because he showed us how good it felt to achieve something.
My private teachers, especially my theory teachers, really solidified my interest in music. In particular, my violin teacher in high school played with a major symphony orchestra, and he showed me what the highest level of musicianship looked like.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is a very subjective experience, but I have a few words of advice. The most important aspect of practicing is realizing that almost every musical issue happens above the shoulders, not below them. In other words, you should approach practicing from the perspective that all difficulties are due to a lack of understanding and not a lack of physical skill. If you start from the assumption that everything should be easy and it is only a matter of figuring out how to make it easy, it is a lot more effective than starting from the standpoint that it should be hard.
