Piano Lessons in Oakland Park, FL

Instruments: Piano Voice

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching at a music summer camp 3 years ago. Since then, I have been teaching private students. I encourage regular practice sessions. This is one of the key points I like to emphasize for beginners especially, as it tends to help the student progress, gain a passion for the instrument, and build discipline. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy music, motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

My teaching experience started when I was a musician at the University of Maryland.  I was able to work with undergraduate vocal students and had a private studio where I worked with students over the DC/Baltimore area.  I continued my teaching at the Doral conservatory of music where I worked with many young singers hoping to get into some of the best private music schools in the Miami  area.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I always like to know what is the goal of each of my students. What style or genre they like as well as if they are aiming to be a solo performer or part of a band or ensemble. I like to start students on method books such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, this will teach students basic music theory as well as how to read on a staff. If also like contemporary music, I will teach them how to read chords letters, so to play styles such as jazz, pop, rock and contemporary gospel music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello

My teaching originated in high school when I taught a few beginners the wonderful  basics of the cello.  I've now taught for over 15 years and have brought all students of all levels to new heights.  When teaching, I explain what it is that I do when I play and how to learn this.  Just performing would not allow me to share my insights from years of my musical journey.
