Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

Although I have taught at esteemed institutions such as Haverford College, Queens College and City College of New York, my main passion is teaching individual students 1 on 1, providing quality instruction to those want to enrich their lives with music. I started teaching when I was a conservatory student myself. Since then, my studio, which I call Opus 7 Music, grew over time and now I have both in-person students in New York City as well as students all over the world that I teach online. Read More

My gift is understanding concepts and explaining them in a way people can understand (and adapting it to their learning style). I try to combine the best aspects of the instruction I received on piano and guitar, with useful and practical concepts (and styles) I had to seek out on my own. Typically I work out of the Ernie Ball How To Play Guitar books (Phases 1 and 2), while also incorporating popular songs (including songs the student wants to learn, as soon as they are compatible with his/her skill level).

I have been teaching for over 40 years. In my studio, my focus is on repertoire, however I also cover ear training, theory and composition. I teach all styles of music with a focus on the classical repertoire. The theory, composition and ear training will often coincide with the style of music being studied. I provide 2 or 3 recitals every year where students have a chance to listen to others perform and find new music they have possibly not heard and would enjoy to learn. Read More

I enjoy establishing a contact with another human being. I'm passionate about music and love sharing my passion. I find extremely rewarding to see my students progress and their appreciation for music grow. I'm always trying to reward the efforts they put into learning the instrument, always trying to be there to help overcome the difficulties. I try to be as flexible as possible, many things would depend on the student's age and background. Read More

I find the most important aspect of being an educator is to find a way to keep motivation high and encourage individual expression. If I can find a way to connect with a student to get them excited and find their own creativity then I feel I have accomplished something that will stay with a student in all aspects of their life. It is a joy and a pleasure to share music and I am always looking to share music with new students of all ages! Read More
