Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have experience teaching on both a private lesson and public school environment. I started to teach private lessons shortly after my undergrad career and during my grad school career. During my grad school program I had the opportunity to teach both at a elementary and high school level in General Music and in Strings. I during these placements in the public school I wrote out lessons plans and taught music theory and instruments to the students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
A typical piano lesson will include work on technique, listening skills, sight-reading and music notation. More advanced students will learn the fundamentals of harmony. The listening skills are important because if the student enjoys what (s)he is hearing, (s)he will be more motivated to practice. The technique and theory work is important so that the student will be able to build a strong foundation in order to keep up with what they want to be hearing more of. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I began teaching guitar/piano part-time during my teenage years at a Music School in Northern New Jersey. As of now I have 20+ years of part time musical instruction experience. I mostly travel to students' homes for musical instruction which helps me stress to their parents how very important practice and routine is in musical studies. I teach a mix of classical and modern music as it motivates my students to practice with something they are familiar with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone
My teaching method is to provide exercises, pieces, and etudes that are at an appropriate level for the student. I listen to my students play, and I comment on good aspects and any problems. During each lesson, I will explain how performance problems can be corrected. This will ensure that the student will develop good fundamentals for musical performance. The fundamentals that I teach are tone, time, rhythm, articulation, vibrato, finger technique, music reading, and basic music theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Organ Electric Violin
It is my utmost pleasure to share and teach my experiences in music to students.In my years of teaching music, I have learned that I acquire just as much knowledge in music as my student does from me. I was raised in a classically-oriented teaching style in piano. Though unpopular to my peers at the time, I had an appreciation for classical music that motivated me to learn new pieces and methods in a classical sense. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder Double Bass Music
I began teaching in 2012 when I was awarded the Graduate Assistant position at Western Michigan University. As a G.A., I was responsible for teaching non-music majors saxophone lessons, theory and ear-training, as well as coaching ensembles. I also taught flute and clarinet at Paramount Charter Academy in Kalamazoo, Michigan to middle school students. It was a very rewarding experience to teach people of various ages, ability levels, and goals, and allowed me to refine my teaching methods based on the needs of each student. I currently teach music theory, piano, saxophone, clarinet, flute, drums, and composition at Belle Arti Center for the Performing Arts in Queens, NY. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
No two students are the same, and I try to take each student's strengths, goals and preferences into account when designing their custom curriculum. For brass, I devise custom exercises for the player in addition to using classic pedagogical texts such as the Arban's and Clarke books. For piano, I start students off with a combination of scale work and repertoire. All lessons with me will include learning a wide variety of repertoire as well as a fair bit of improvisation, as I believe it is an invaluable tool for developing ears, creativity and musical personality.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my teachers could be said to be inspirations. My first teacher, who was only a few blocks away from me in my hometown, inspired me to put work in every work, to inch up further in my progress. The painstaking first 10 years of my childhood under her tutelage, where I devoted 1 hour a week to lessons no matter the season or weather, allowed me to forge a foundation from which I did not fail. I dream of finding students who may have this as well, so that I can pay this amazing gift forward, from my first late teacher, Ms. Esther Pfeiffer, who was a truly dedicated woman of music and who was able to know of my progress 10 years after lessons. I hope to learn of students who have had the same story from my own teaching.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always had a piano around me in my house, and my father was an amateur pianist. He was always enchanted by the piano, and is the kind of individual who really notices what his teachers are teaching, whether or not he has luck. I am grateful for this example of one who takes his instruction seriously, because it inspired me to start taking piano lessons at the age of 6. From there, practicing was encouraged, and sometimes enforced by my parents, until there was a point in high school that I recognized what I had learned as a great gift. After that point, that initial flame was only further fed by an appetite to learn as much as I possibly could, and play with the same passion as the musical heroes I had acquired. Hanging onto every note of a musical hero is its own source of learning and inspiration.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am grateful for the moments at a restaurant or bar, where I enjoy making music-- it's a great thing to be able to share the amazing force that brings all human beings together, and every performance is an accomplishment in my mind. Some key things lately have been the ability to share the music that I've written personally at clubs in the New York Area, and I hope to share more music with the world, through the passing years. I am also very proud of students that take what I teach them and use it to enrich their lives. Maybe this is in a small way or maybe this is in a large way; it doesn't matter to me, I just enjoy the things my students accomplish.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
In high school, I knew I wanted to be a musician. By about Freshman year of high school, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. It may have been the summer I worked at a summer camp for elementary school children, that I learned that this was what I wanted to do. It was my greatest passion at the time, and such passion has never subsided. I have taken to this pursuit through thick and thin, and I only wish to use my gifts to bring forth catharsis and positive changes to the world.
I remember a moment of awakening as a student at a summer camp at Stanford Jazz Workshop, that made me fully realize, in that moment, this was what I was going to do. There have been many moments since of assurance and others of discouragement, but I still have a strong sense that this is what I am meant to do.
