Instruments: Piano
I Am a mother of 5 children and have been teaching piano for over 30 years to all ages from 4-85. Music is my passion and I love children as well as adults who have been waiting their whole life to learn! I have lived in Fairfield county for over 10 years but originally from the Midwest. I started taking piano when I was 7 years old. For a while, I also played violin and organ but kept taking piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga Music Djembe
I began my teaching career almost 20 years ago at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. While I was there, I worked with students of all ages and levels of playing ability. From that experience, I was able to not only develop a teaching method, but also to adapt and adjust that teaching method to accommodate for each student's unique personality and learning style. During my time there, I wanted to incorporate musical concepts that I learned from playing tablas in my lessons with drum set students. Read More

I am a piano instructor who is always passionate and excited about teaching the art of playing the piano. Since 2007 till now, I always love to monitor the little weekly progress of my students turn into a huge development in their musicianship. I grew up playing Bach, Beethoven, and a variety of classical composer. In my teens I started learning all the pop songs, and playing with a variety of cover bands, and church choirs in Egypt.

Instruments: Piano Organ
For all students I stress fluent music reading and a natural stress-free technique. For the early stages I have had good results with Faber's Piano Adventure series, finding that these progress at a reasonable pace and build reading skills logically. For technique I like FJH Music's Accelerando series. These short exercises have a big impact on the student's technique and reading, and bring maximum results in a short time. I also like to assign keyboard harmony drills of my own invention which help the student understand how chords are built and how they are linked within each key. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have had many students on and off over the years. I tend to focus on making music or teaching but not both as I find doing anything well involves 100% committment. For the next 4 or 5 years I am focused on teaching exclusively. My knowledge is vast and I am excited to convey this knowledge to others! Trust me you will not be disappointed! The methods I teach will not only get you progressing but self-progressing and will cover a variety of instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin Music Keyboard
For beginning students, I typically start with my method based on a combination of the Suzuki method, a base of the European School, and my intuition and vision of each student. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had the pleasure of having excellent teachers during all of the stages of my development as a musician. One teacher in particular that really helped my development along was a teacher in Florida named John Yarling. He taught me from the time I was around 13 years old to when I went to college and I was already a skilled, dedicated and promising student at that point, but he provided me with the insight and tools to take my playing to a professional level by challenging me technically to new heights, exposing me to music and drummers at the avant-garde of rhythmic development that I had never heard before, and encouraging me to become an inspired musician with a strong work ethic and sense of developmental direction.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in Jazz Percussion Performance from the New England Conservatory. I chose this degree over a composition or education degree because I am absolutely a performer first and foremost, and I wanted the educational opportunities that the school had to offer to serve that purpose. I did study composition and music pedagogy in school as well, and I think these skills have also been a great asset to my overall understanding of who I am as a musician, but I got a performance degree so I could study with some of the masters of my instrument!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they show interest! Enthusiasm and curiosity for music is much more of an indicator of whether a student is ready than age. A student, no matter what age they are, will benefit from music lessons if they are showing an interest and a desire to play music.
Some key signs that they are ready to begin can be any of the following:
a. They are listening to music
b. they're messing around on whatever musical instruments they may have access to and maybe even attempting to emulate some of the things they hear
c. they ask for music lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important thing is to have fun! If practicing is feeling like a chore, than you most likely will not make the most effective use of your time. Sometimes, frequency is more important than how long you practice. If you put in 15 minutes of good concentrated work, but do that consistently on a daily basis. That is generally much more effective than practicing for an hour one day a week. I generally will help my students best organize their practice time, but it generally is also a great idea to have a list that puts a scheduled agenda to your practice sessions. Having clear, short term goals that are achievable in the near future, as well as ambitious long term goals really do wonders for determining how one could be spending their time practicing.
