Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Double Bass
I began teaching private lessons In Zurich, Switzerland, where I received my Bachelor of Music in Performance and Pedagogy. I've taught students of all different ages, skill levels, and backgrounds. I encourage all my students to practice consistently and to play with passion, energy, and musicality. Now living in the US have had the experience of teaching not only individual lessons but group lessons, also I work as a Musical director for Bergen Performing Arts Center where I had the opportunity of directing different musical like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well as the Lion King Jr. Read More

I'm a driven music teacher with an unending curiousity and love of the musical mind. I graduated Ithaca College with a B.A. in music performance specializing in classical guitar. Originally from Boston, I moved to NYC in the summer of 2011 to pursue teaching and playing music professionally. Since then, I've acquired a decent roster of students and have been gigging fairly regularly with a number of different projects. I started playing piano at an early age and from there I've tried to keep the learning process going. Read More

For my piano students who are children I like using Piano Adventures for beginners and advanced beginners,since it's offering multiple books for each subject and level(lessonbook,performance book,etc.).For more grown up ones or adults students I like using Alfred's methods,for example x22Adult All-In-One Course.Alfred's methods offer a variety of books, focusing on different needs according to the class set up.For drums I use Alfred's as well in conjunction with more speficic books such as Stick Control and Syncopation.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching when I was 17 and have a pretty busy schedule of up to 35 students a week! Many of those students still continue to take lessons after 3 years of instruction and have improved beyond their original goals. I find that each student has different interests (rock, jazz, classical, pop, etc.) which is why I enjoy focusing on what they want to learn. Other students do not know exactly what they want to learn; however, they just want to improve in playing their instrument all around. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Acoustic Guitar
I begin assessing where the student's current level is by having them sing a song of their choice for me. Depending on what we need to work, I will spend the lessons focusing on certain areas to improve (e.g. breath support, jaw/neck tension, posture, pitch, range, diction, phrasing, etc.). Each week, the student will be assigned things to work on during the week that we accomplished in the lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola
I don't have a singular method because every student is different. At the beginning of my lessons with a new student we will begin getting to know each other. Then we try different things. Some students are naturals at imitating what they hear, so we play to those strengths. Other students are more comfortable with structure and math, so we take that route instead. What I find most important is being flexible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Recorder Keyboard
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I started taking private piano and recorder lessons at a very young age. I also started participating in small and big competitions at a young age. I went to a professional music school when I was in year 10, and proceeded to study in a music college. I started music learning at a very young age, and continued to be mentored in the musical direction, so pursing a career in professional musicianship was a natural and organic decision for me.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. No one in my family is a professional musician apart from me, but everyone of my family member plays an instrument to a high standard. My mother was an opera major in college, and had a short career before having me and my siblings. My father was in church choirs during school and guitar club during college, and he has a love for Baroque music just like me. My grandmother is an amateur Opera singer who sings regularly with her local music-classroom productions. My older sister played the flute and won several competitions in the flute before she went on to college to study art. My little sister is a media major at college, but minors in music, that of violin performance in particular. My little brother is a young pianist, jazz drummer, violinist, and DJ who wishes to pursue a career in music in the future!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Simply my love for music and different instruments. When I was in high school, I had the opportunity to choose a third instrument (alongside the recorder and piano) so I chose to play the oboe and I can played it in the orchestra. When I was in music college, I was very passionate about contemporary Japanese repertoires, so I bought a shakuhachi and learned it myself, with occasional lessons from professional shakuhachi teachers. Towards the end of my college years, I fell in love with the flute, so I started taking second study Baroque flute one a week with the flute professor in my college. Deciding to start playing a new instrument was always driven by my musical passion, efficiency, and determination to accomplish it alongside my main instruments.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love early music- Baroque, renaissance, and medieval. Baroque is such a pure genre with so much emotions that can be hear and expressed clearly. I especially adore French Baroque; I think music from the French Baroque period is the most elegant and noble of all. Music from the Renaissance and Medieval period is vastly about working together in a group with other musicians which is what I love. I also like their modal sound that is special to our modern ears that are used to the Western music sounds.
