Instruments: Piano Drums
Okay. maybe TV inspiring us to be better is a reach, but myself as a drum instructor I am there to do that very thing; I am there to support the student in learning, to stand beside them as they discover their potential and to make their hour spent with me "alive time". A time full of humor, learning and playing that the student will look forward to week after week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been a working music teacher and professional musician since 2003. My work has taken me all over the world, from exotic, global itineraries on board 5-star cruise ships, to the some of the top music venues in New York City, as well as the homes and classrooms of many satisfied students. I graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, with a B.M. in Jazz Performance (saxophone). I also hold a Certificate of Eligibility in K-12 Music from the New Jersey Department of Education, as well as a Substitute Teaching Certificate (specializing in music) for Sussex County school districts in New Jersey.

I am a passionate teacher who relies on POSITIVITY. Small progressions should never go unnoticed and should be praised, even if its just a quick hi-five. Even if the positivity is inflated, I find it does wonders for the student's psyche moving forward. I am also a high school basketball coach and instilling confidence in these young kids is what every teacher should focus on, regardless of what subject is being taught. Read More

Regarding the actual playing, I emphasize playing slow and steady while keeping the flow of the music, even when it may be tempting to play an easier phrase faster while stopping to play a harder one. I find that progress is fastest playing with that patience in mind, getting a great feel for the music. Also, it's essential to come up with a unique practice plan for the student, accommodating their weekly schedule to find a consistent amount of practice time at their own pace. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I believe each student is unique and requires lessons tailored to his or her individual strengths. While covering all the bases with each learner, some students thrive in enriching with improvisation. Others prefer to have set exercises to improve technique. Some have specific goals, like learning a particular song or a melody for an upcoming holiday. The great thing about one-on-one instruction is I can customize lessons to suit each learner. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching background stems from being taught as a 4 year old and seeing the passion of those who invested in me and my future from a young age. I was encouraged to have a strong practice routine on a consistent schedule so I try and instill the same practice in both my vocal and keyboard students. I believe music is supposed to be a fun experience and always look for ways to implement fun exercises so that the passion for learning is increased. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Taking frequent breaks in practice is very important for any instrument. For trumpet, you don’t want to over-play and hurt your lips. The way I tackle this is to take breaks as much as you play- even if that includes timing yourself to have equal practice and break time. It is important to have a steady warmup, that may change but contain the same elements. For every student, their practice with technical studies vs literature is different. It is important to be aware of this practicing behavior. Many students will play the beginning of a piece every time they practice and totally neglect the rest of the piece; many have bad practicing habits and we can fix them, easily!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is remotely interested in trumpet or if they are a beginner in band, they can definitely start taking lessons! In school, your child can excel with private lessons and thrive being a musician. Not having lessons as a child, it was extremely confusing figuring out where to start with practicing and even what skills to develop. Your child will want to excel and be first chair in band, but practicing trumpet is so much more than that. It allows them to keep a practice schedule and have something they truly care about! Motivation in a child’s life is extremely important as it can be easy to be apathetic in school; music can be the light in a child’s life.
When will I start to see results?
While every music student’s journey is different, taking lessons will be vital in their success. How much a student wants to practice can be changed with a little motivation. As for concrete results, you should see results right away with the student’s practice. Even a little practicing is huge for the student, especially for beginners. Lessons do require a committed student who is willing to follow through with practicing and performing, but I work very hard to motivate students to find their passion.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers who inspired me to pursue and thrive in music. In high school, I spent a lot of time playing around and was uninterested in music. I started college wanting an agricultural degree. But I decided to play in Jazz 2, the second band, with Greg Ball as the director, and I thought “Why am I doing anything other than music?”. Greg Ball made the rehearsal experience so much more than about the music we were playing and making it an enjoyable experience for everyone. From then I decided to be a music major, when I met Dr. Brian Walker. Dr. Walker pushed me to the limit in my lessons and made me work harder and harder throughout my degree. Even though it was a very difficult road, there was always a huge amount of payoff! Many other teachers helped me through my music courses and I joined several different ensembles in college, including vocal ensembles. I have always believed that it is important to expand and discover what you enjoy. Music is a universal language and even if your child decides they don’t want to pursue trumpet in the future, it will have always been a part of their lives and those skills can transfer to other real world skills.
