Instruments: Piano Accordion Keyboard
My teaching style is Patience to every student and developing, and keeping interest in learning instrument. Music is the Art! To learn how to hear music, understand it's deep emotional line and be able to work on sound takes a time. It's our goal. Before music starts to sound nicely we parallely learn theory stuff, from simple major and minor chords, their inversions, their arpeggios... jazz theory helps to hear and play Jazz Standards , to hear mo smooth movements in chords progressions ... and many more stuff...

Instruments: Piano
My method of teaching puts emphasis on the keyboard fundamentals that develop sound piano technique. I use a systematic approach in which the student progresses from their present level, whatever it may be, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, to their next level in a reasonable time. For students at the beginning or intermediate-beginning levels, I would choose from the Faber, Albert, Leonard, or Thompson piano methods. I always give the student after each lesson a method of practice for the music/lessons required. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
I am a sixth semester student at Berklee College of Music, dual majoring in saxophone performance and jazz composition, and have studied with many inspiring professors as well as learned from many amazing educators. Since entering Berklee I have been able to not only study the material and concepts, but I have also gotten to study professors and how they educate students of all different backgrounds, all different levels of understanding, and how they navigate teaching a class with students who are all at different stages and levels of grasping material.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been teaching since age 15 (1999). In addition to extensive performing experience on clarinet, I have functioned as a piano accompanist, choir member, and praise band member through the years. As noted above, I teach clarinet, saxophone, flute, and piano. My methods vary according to each individual students' needs and goals, however I try to find the approach that will best help a student to appreciate music in general, sharpen the mind, and give each student a level of skill on their instrument that provides a sense of accomplishment.

If you don't practice for a while,(especially when you are a beginner) You lose what has already been built up. I will slowly increase your range and learning music theory of playing the instrument. I have been teaching students of all ages from beginners, intermediate, and advanced for 25 years plus. I have completed 23 years of service in elementary music education in the school system. Recently I retired and started teaching trumpet online. Read More

I am a passionate musician and performer that loves sharing the gift of music to students of all ages. Through progressive knowledge of technique, repertoire, and performing practices, I believe that every student can achieve success at the keyboard. I have been teaching piano, voice, organ, and choir for over 20 years, both privately and publicly. My students have gone on to major in music in college and to enjoy a lifelong passion for musicmaking. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice makes perfect - there is no shortcut. One must practice, however, if the student can tap into the love and appreciation of the instrument and the music, the goal becomes one in which the student looks forward to and makes time in their daily life to have their time at the piano. I recommend tailoring the practice schedule to the student - remember our goal is to get the student to stick with it, especially at times where the learning curve is steeper. Setting a daily time works for some, others may be more motivated if, for example, the parent asks them to play while they are cooking dinner because they love to listen to the music. Playing for others enjoyment is usually motivating for new students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no perfect age to start the piano, however, I like to start a student at 6 years old. Around the time children start school, they are ready to pay attention for short bursts of time, they know their LH & RH, their brain is ripe for grasping and learning new concepts. That being said, I have started students in middle school and adulthood - it is never too late to learn an instrument and I love teaching beginning piano students - adults are usually motivated students! If an individual is expressing a curiosity, desire or aptitude towards learning the piano - then jump in and give it a try!
When will I start to see results?
After the first lesson! The beautiful thing about learning piano, is in 30 minutes you leave having learned something about the piano, music and theory that you didn't know when you started your lesson. Each lesson you should learn a little something new and have something new to work on to advance your ability to play the piano. As the student progresses, it may be a new note, a new time signature, a new piece of music, a new style of music, a new concept from theory, perhaps learning to transpose, or a new key signature.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Most certainly! My first piano teacher would clap her hands, dance, give me a hug, laugh and show delight as I would progress and play a song. Perhaps the song didn't sound very musical at the beginning, perhaps there were pauses and breaks in the music, perhaps there were wrong notes, but her exuberance and encouragement were vital to my confidence and desire to keep going in the early stages where the music doesn't sound too musical! An important component to achieving success at playing the piano is the commitment to stick with it until notes are learned and a student can play a few songs fluently and confidently, then they are able to "hear" their progress and have hope they will achieve their dream of being able to play the piano.
