Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I started in the year 2011. At the age of 18 I had a lot of contact with people who liked my music and therefore asked me if I could help them improve the way they perform music. Since then I have filled with great satisfaction to see how as I shared my knowledge people developed their abilities. Since 2013 I have been officially working as a music instructor with students of different ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
Above all, I want to see my students develop the kind of love for music that can foster and sustain a life of appreciation and self expression. I enjoy seeing my students grow into their artistic selves and pursue their own musical interests with their newly aquired skills. Following my students musical tastes is a great way to motivate and encourage them while instilling the technical training they need to be great musicians. Read More

Teaching for me works best on an individual level. Students work on different levels and languages concerning music, and you have to be able to adapt to them. Some people might understand everything from the get go, some students need graphic support, some student need to learn song to understand what they are doing. The important part of being an instructor is not the actual material to be taught but being able to clear the way for the student to learn and teach himself, as well as providing a direction towards understanding the instrument and music through the taste and necessities of each student.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning student who are especially children, I start with Hal Leonard's Children Piano book. And once student has progressed to have a skill, then I suggest some of easy solo repertoire appropriate or sometimes I made my own piece for them. For teenager and adults, I normally try to find out what they want to play and interested, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I have always enjoyed teaching private lessons because it allows me to tailor the lesson to the individual students needs. This is not always possible in a classroom situation. I am patient with my students but I expect my students to practice four to five days a week. My goal is to get the students to enjoy the process of learning new music. I realize that my students will not take piano lessons forever so my hope is to get them to enjoy the process of learning new things in general. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a dedicated instructor and take pride in the work that I do. Teaching my students, and seeing the progress they make throughout my time with them really brings me joy. In 1995 I was certified in music teaching in City College. I started playing with bands and traveling all over the world; and even played in Madison Square Garden here in New York. I’ve recorded with more than 300 different artists in Latin bands as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
My teaching began in senior year of my high school. I taught at Memorial High School Orchestra, where I lead cello sectionals, taught one-on-one lessons, and coached chamber ensembles. In addition, I received training in introductory conducting. I believe that with my lessons, I have a balance between having fun and actually improving. Practice is absolutely mandatory to further improve one's abilities, and I expect students to try their best. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a specific time every day/week. Make sure the student eats a hour before the lesson. Put on your mind to "receive" mode and that there aren't any distractions in the room. If a section of a piece is problematic that we would work on that part first. A metronome can be helpful at first when practicing. If possible, internally sing the piece down and up again. The instructor can play one hand while the student plays the other. There are also pieces for 2 pianos. Practicing doesn't have to be boring at all. it can be a creator of fun, drama, adventure...
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child has a great deal of energy and it is focused on inner thought,
If the child has a little energy and it is focused on outer thought.
If the child can sign-a-long from DVD tracks, or if the child can dance to a children show, they are ready for lessons.
If the students stop crying when music is being played.
If the students bang on kitchen utensils.
they are ready for lessons.
If the student asks the family for piano at home,
they are ready for lessons.
If the student starts playing what he hears on the radio,
they are ready for lessons.
When will I start to see results?
A parent of slower IQ will find themselves seeing results in either a month or less.
A parent of medium IQ will take 2-3 weeks, while advanced students for 1-2 weeks.
This isn't set in stone, some of their grades fluctuate from (ex. third to second) and some rearrangement will probably occur. But by the end of the course all grades should normalize.
It is important that the children wants to be here, but excessive crying (for youngest class) lesson after lesson indicates a problem. I would gently ask the child "whats wrong", or "is the music giving you a problem?". Sometimes the personal touch can help students with bad attitude.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was just starting my undergraduate I was very impressed by Charles Wuorinen, Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur award winner. He taught for New Jersey and commuted to New York if there was an engagement (he also has a home on West End Avenue).
Wuorinen's music is daring and electrifying to the listener. It also has moments of eerie calm where the instruments can stretch out and blend together. His pieces tend to be large with well-defined sections.
He also takes the older composer (Machaut) and arranged it in his style. Similar pieces are over his output.
