I started piano lessons at the age of 7 (I am now 45) and have never started being involved in music in one way or another ever since. It is both my passion and my career. My passion for music means that I am always learning more about it and working to improve. My career in music has led me on travels around the world; I have played in Rome, Switzerland, Spain, Ecuador, Argentina, and all over the USA. Read More

I graduated from Boston University with a degree in Music, and am certified to teach music in Massachusetts public schools (K-12). I have been giving private piano lessons to both children and adults for over 10 years. I have extensive and varied experience teaching music to young people. I completed training in Music Together, a music and movement program for young children, and have created Music & Movement sessions for children with special needs. In addtion I have experience as a musical director at a summer camp.directed the musical program at the New Hampshire summer camp Tel Noar.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I typically use Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method for beginning guitarists and the Suzuki Method for beggining pianists. For students first learning music, I make sure to include solo pieces that the student is interested in and other custom written fundamental lessons in addition to these resources. Once they reach the point that they have a solid grasp of their instrument, we focus more closely on learning pieces and concepts that reflect musical situations in which the students sees themselves; be it playing solo, playing and singing, accompanying other instrumentalists or vocalists, or playing in an ensemble or band.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet
My goal is to teach my students to be musicians, and for them to walk away every week with a deeper appreciation for music. I believe in nurturing all my students' creativity while challenging their skills to help them achieve their goals. I continuously acknowledge their achievements, but will remind them of what needs improvement. My students are given multiple opportunities to perform as a soloist or as part of a small ensemble in recitals throughout the year. Read More

For beginning students I prefer to use either Alfred's, Mel Bay, or Hal Leonard method books. I generally stay away from method books that use guitar tablature because I find that student will prefer to read the tablature instead of standard musical notation. Tablature is a good way to easily show how guitar parts are played, but is not useful when teaching standard notation, music theory, harmony, etc. In addition to using a method book, I will also teach the student popular songs, which is a great way to start teaching chords and song structure in addition to keeping the lesson fun and the student engaged.

As students progress, I encourage exploration across various genres. Drawing from my diverse experiences, I guide students through the nuances of different styles, techniques, and interpretations. For more advanced students, I emphasize creativity and personal expression. I often incorporate improvisation exercises, composition challenges, and collaborative projects. This not only nurtures their musical individuality but also prepares them for real-world performance scenarios. I believe in a student-centered approach, where open communication and feedback are key. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am an energetic and patient (promise) teacher. I studied Piano at Music Conservatory of Porto (Portugal). I decided to become a composer and moved on to graduate in Music Composition in Lisbon, and to having my music performed in Europe and the United States, by world class orchestras (like Gulbenkian Orchestra and Orchestrutopica), and world class conductors (like Beat Furrer and Christopher Bochmann), but to this day I never stopped studying piano, playing piano, composing for piano and yes, of course, teaching piano.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather was a rag-time and blues pianist, completely self-taught and played everything by ear. He died when I was very young, and I never really heard him play, but one day I just started playing songs by ear and started teaching myself the piano year by year, and the rest is history! I really started learning the jazz language seriously in high school, and then started to master it in college!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director of 2 years, before retirement, Mr. Massey, has been one of the best teachers I have ever known. He was the first teacher to truly push me, to get me out of my comfort zone, and to reach my potential the way nobody else saw yet. He was very tough on me, and sometimes I didn't see why, but it made me the musician I am today and inspired many of the methods I use as a teacher and a player that I still use today.
When will I start to see results?
Sometimes results will be hard to see, but I like to see results as becoming more comfortable with the material and challenges that a student is faced with. I strongly encourage my students to record themselves practicing, at jam sessions, listening to concerts, etc. Listening back to these will help students realize how far they have come, and how progression does occur even when it doesn't feel like it. In my vocal tech class at UMass, my teacher assigned us a task called 'video reviews' where we commented on our own singing from videos she recorded in class. Listening to these, I couldn't even believe some of the improvements and accomplishments I had made from earlier in the ear, and would not have realized if it weren't for those videos or that assignment. Progress and results are interesting aspects of music, and they are sometimes invisible, but I promise they always come, whether in small or massive forms!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with intent! Instead of practicing what you know or what you're already good at, spend more time completely focused on playing those 2-3 bars that you don't know in a piece. Sometimes all you need in a practice session is to master 1 very difficult passage. Sometimes it's learning a whole piece in an hour or two. Create a plan with your teacher, or even by yourself, where you can make progress by a system, and remember that small victories are big victories! Trust me, they add up over time!
