Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder
I love to see students grasp concepts. It is extremely rewarding to see students understand a concept and be able to explain how neat it is to a parent or friend. When I get a new student, I get to know exactly what their goals are. We set long term goals, and we make progress by setting manageable short term goals every week. I inspire the student to reach their goals by providing tools to help, and custom lesson plans that are fun and engaging. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I just love to see my students develop a passion for music, especially helping to discover and develop a love of music they didn't even know they had! Each student is unique, so I work with students and their parents to develop personalized goals to help them develop as musicians. I try to be liberal in my encouragement and help my students reach for goals they didn't even know were possible. Read More

For beginning piano students, I enjoy the Faber Piano Adventures. As the student progresses, I guage what their interests/goals are, and choose repertoire according to their interests. For beginning oboe and woodwind students, I focus on a myriad of things that have nothing (and everything) to do with actual music: how to form a correct embouchure, correct hand and finger position, double and single reed care, instrument construction and maintenance, and finally, sound production.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Conga Latin Percussion
I began teaching at the Long Island Drum Center in 1990 and was the youngest instructor ever added to their ranks alongside their world renown faculty. Since then, I have taught hundreds of students in many locations in New Jersey and in New York. I have participated in drum clinics, been interviewed by major drum publications, and am a member of the Vic Firth Education Program. As a member of the National Association for Music Educator, Im committed to staying up to date with all the latest findings in the field of music education. Read More

If a student can be consistent with practicing over the period of a month then the habit of practicing will get easier and become more natural and less like a chore. Hard work in the beginning=life long habits. I have a few books I recommend purchasing for beginning to intermediate drum students such as The Drum Set Musician (Rod Morgenstein), Stick Control (George Lawrence Stone) and Syncopation (Ted Reed).

I began teaching privately in Colombia and continued throughout my entire college experience. I've been a part of music schools for years, both as a student and faculty, and that experience has shown me that every student is different and as such the teaching must adapt. I have explored multiple avenues to connect with my students and firmly believe professors should be guides and mentors, more than fill the students with knowledge that they are later supposed to sort out themselves.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I advice all students to know practicing does not have to happen all at once. When you go home and you are trying to figure out how much time you truly have to practice - write out a realistic timeline of how your day looks. Once you have written out how your days look assign about 30 - 45 minutes a day to music. Think of it this way. Your average television show is usually 30 minutes. If you watch 2 episodes of your favorite show, you can practice for that same amount of time. Developing skills is practicing. If you struggled with a specific part of a song at your lesson. I would suggest listening to the song and focus on how to fix that particular section by using the tools taught to you at your lesson.
For piano, I notice that a lot of beginner students will not practice because they didn't know what a note was while reading the staff. Usually the book in which the student is reading has the answers. Make sure to look back at the information provided to find the answers. USE THE INTERNET. Formulate questions and research.
When will I start to see results?
Honestly, this depends on the student and the level of their vocal and piano skill.
Every student has different practice habits. I always tell students to give lessons about 3 months before noticing significant change for piano and voice. Now for vocal students, some changes will happen immediately and some changes will take time. For piano students, results vary because some students may pick up on theory quickly but not piano playing or vice versa. Some styles might be easier to play versus others. Give lessons a few weeks before getting nervous about results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know that your child is practicing when you ask them to stop practicing. LOL. Honestly, if you hear your child singing in the shower or playing piano in the middle of the night you will at some point ask yourself - does he or she really need to practice that much. The answer is yes. In order to improve as a musician the student has to practice and sometimes they may practice at odd times. Now you can tell your child to practice after 8am and before 10pm at night.
The other sign that your child is practicing is through their behavior. If they begin to dislike lessons it is usually due to the dislike of practicing. If your child does not have the same excitement for piano or voice lessons anymore, it's usually because the student has now realized they do not like music at the level that requires them to practice.
Lastly, I will comment on the students practice habits.
