The method of teaching is as follows: 1) assess where the student is in music and in life, 2) ask about goals in music, 3) formulate objective to reach those goals, 4) rethink things when needed (students aren't cookies, so I can't use a cookie cutter). I do focus on things in order though. If you don't know your fundamentals, then that's where we start no matter what. After learning fundamentals, however, we can begin to pick and choose the battles and wars. Read More

Every student learns differently and progresses at a different rate. In order to keep my students motivated, I balance tasks that each student finds easy and enjoyable with tasks that are more challenging. My students know that if they say something is too hard, I will ask them to try it again another way, using their strategies to problem solve. Most of the time, they find that it isn't too hard after all, which boosts their confidence. Read More

Every student is different and has their own taste in music. I hope to help every student find the same joy in playing music as they do in their listening. This requires two important aspects: development of technique/facility on one's instrument, and a sense of acheiving one's personal musical goals. I try to give every student basic exercises to work on to develop facility on their given instrument, but I tailor those exercises towards music that the student has expressed interest in learning.

Over the years, I have come to understand that each individual has a different path to follow. Teaching in one specific way could help one student, but that same way could hamper another. For that reason, I create my teaching material after meeting my students. Although I have a lesson plan that includes the fundamentals of music, I adjust the way I teach the material in response to my students needs, interests and temperaments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Hello, and thanks for reading about me! I recently graduated from New England Conservatory with a BM in Jazz Studies. Next Fall I will be pursuing a Master's degree from the Conservatory on a full merit based scholarship. I play lead, jazz, classical, and all sorts of pop music. You may find me around Boston playing in musicals, rock clubs, jazz big bands, a small restaurant with a trio, or even subbing in a local orchestra. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
i encourage students to practice everyday if possible. Even if a student practices for 15 minutes daily they will notice progress in a few weeks. I constantly remind students to start using a timing source such as metronome and tap their foot to the beat. When music is executed effectively then its time to gradually increase speed.
Vocal students are encouraged to learn the scale and to practice breathing exercises daily if possible.
Rather than pushing for higher notes students should find their natural range and work on strengthening that part of their range. Developing healthy singing habits including diaphragmatic breathing is essential in vocal training.
When will I start to see results?
This depends on the individual. Some people progress faster than others. In my experience I have noticed that the average adult or adolescent student will notice progress in 4 weeks to 1 month. However this is under ideal circumstances if a person practices everyday (or almost everyday). Usually students measure progress by their ability to play their preferred music. Young school age children may develop skills faster with regular practice.
With Vocal students results may be noticed within two or three sessions. Of coarse this depends on many different variables. We are born with our ability to sing. However very few are born with perfect pitch. When a singer learns to breathe with the diaphragm they will notice an improvement right away. However we need to develop these healthy singing habits with regular practice. Our body is the musical instrument when singing which is why we need to "train" our brain and body.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When a pre school age child (4 or 5 years) expresses a strong interest in playing an instrument this is a sign. Young children care nothing about self discipline so its up to the parents to encourage regular practicing. Every child has unique interest abilities. Although we all see preschool age children on you tube who seem to have mastered an instrument this is extremely rare. We need to impress on young children that playing an instrument is not instant but takes regular practice. Learning a musical instrument at a young age develops the synaptic connections in the brain. This development as well as learning self discipline can help your child in whatever discipline they pursue in the future even if they don't turn out to be a musical prodigy. Musical education can begin from day 1 by exposing children to music.
