Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, I use Faber Methods. Once the student has progressed, I would introduce solo repertoire that supports the skills necessary for improvement. Usually, I ask students if they are DYING to learn a piece, and with that selection, I'll look for techniques that can be improved upon. For adults, I try to ask what they are interested in learning, and help gauge the technique into their learning. Because adults learn differently from children, it is key to help integrate a different method of learning. Read More

Greetings, I'm a recent college graduate who studied secondary education (grades 7-12). I'm a lifelong musician, and have been playing guitar and alto saxophone for about 20 years. I've also been playing piano for about 10 years. I studied music theory, composition, and musicianship for four years; and I continue to use these skills in my practice as a professional musician today. My band is currently in the process of recording a demo, and we've had numerous gigs in New Haven, New York City, and Massachusetts. Read More

This will open doors down the road and will enhance his or her capacity for learning*, not just musically but in all areas of intellect. No singular student is typical. Therefore no teaching method is typical, nor is the approach to any given student. Technique, thought process, feel/emotion, pulse/rhythm,ear and theory are all explored to a degree that is comfortably absorbed by the individual. The degree of aptitude reflected by an individual student will commensurate to the challenge that I will offer in terms of a reasonable expectation for success or, more importantly, the great pleasure to be derived from making music, sharing that ability and the personal reward that comes with that sense of accomplishment in communicating with music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano was kind of forced upon me in undergrad and then I grew to love it. Now I feel naked when I'm not performing with the piano. It does everything!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As the son of immigrants I had 4 choices. Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer or family embarrassment. When I decided to major in music in college, you can guess which title I was pegged with by my family. I suppose it was gradual. It was something that was growing in me since middle school. When I found out you could actually STUDY it, I signed up. My memoirs will be entitled "Goodbye med school" .
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a degree in performance because I really wanted to master the art of delivering my story. The programs I attended also incorporated robust theory, research and piano so I wasn't missing anything
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That varies based on where I am in my life. At the time I'm writing this, the world is in disarray from a pandemic. I find great solace in the Blues. It helps to bring me healing and express profound emotions that words cannot express.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
That depends on if I'm prepping for a performance. If its performance prep, I tend to skew towards performance repertoire. If its normal practice time, its skewed towards exercises. There are specific skills I want to acquire and I work on acquiring those skills. The ratio of time tends to be consistent and I expand the time slot allotted based on the amount of time I have. If its 15 min for ear training per hour I increase it to 30 min if I have 2 hours and so on. I dont go ever go beyond 8 hrs. I heard Charlie Parker practiced 12 hours a day at one point. Tried that once and it was physically and psychologically painful
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The voice is a diva. If you dont show it love and care everyday, it will betray you. It's also not like any other acoustic or electric instrument. Your psychological and physical state play a major role in the sound you create
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I went to Whitney Houston Academy for my middle school years. Ms Karen Williams "encouraged" me to be in the choir. At first I thought it was not cool, then I grew to love it. There have been far too many to list, but Ms Williams was the first.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started singing when me and my siblings were toddlers. My parents love gospel and hymns so we started singing in the church and took off from there. That was at 7 years old
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I loved teaching music and connecting with people in China with no knowledge of Mandarin, earning the respect of Branford Marsalis, meeting people from around the world in Batumi, Georgia for the GLOMUS music festival, and being on the grammy ballot in 2017. We didn't get nominated, but the consideration was still cool!
When will I start to see results?
My professional advice? Anyone who offers you an exact timeline is not sincere. Run in the opposite direction. There are far too many variables to consider when developing a musician in any instrument. Some people are savants and some people have psychological work or injuries to work through. Age, diet, exposure, genetics, etc. effect how fast or slow you move. If you're a beginner, you might see a lot of progress in the beginning. But I have worked with beginners who advance rapidly in the beginning and then plateau and vice versa. Its just too hard to predict with current technology.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Journal, journal journal! What you can measure you can improve. Imagine being able to go back to June 13 2020 when your voice and playing were sounding amazing and synthesizing exactly what you did to get there. It is also psychologically stimulating to see how far you've come. We all have those songs that take MONTHS to master. Imagine seeing the slow(and sometimes not so steady) progression. It also helps your teacher assess how effective your practice is :)
