Piano Lessons in East Elmhurst, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe in keeping the lessons very interactive by making sure that it is not just the student playing/singing. I keep the lesson flowing from one activity, or song, to the next by using a common goal throughout the lesson. I make a goal for each lesson known to the student so that the student can feel successful and accomplished at the end of every lesson. Read More

My teaching style prioritizes mindset and artistry above all, but my approach is highly student-specific. I pride myself on allowing students to discover and pursue their musical interests while still maintaining a base level of knowledge and skill appropriate to the student's age and experience. In the case of young students who may not be familiar enough with musical material to select pieces, I typically assign listening homework to complete outside of the lesson. Read More

I teach both voice and guitar. As an instructor of voice I start with Breathing exercises, posture, and ear training. I take methods from "The Singing Book" by Maribeth Dayme Cynthia Vaughn.

Currently, my teaching experience involves substituting for a drum class in one of the New York City boroughs, and assisting musicians or other campers when needed at Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts when I worked there as a Music Staff Intern. I have worked with multiple teachers throughout my musical journey and experience, and I have since picked up the teaching styles and methods that they taught me. I now want to use my experience and what I have learned to help other students or aspiring musicians, and help show them how fun and enjoyable playing their respective instrument or instruments can be.
