Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone

As a teacher, it is essential to understand that your student's goals. My number one priority as a teacher is guiding my students in order to help them achieve those goals.

In our lessons we will cover techniques for playing the instrument, music theory, reading music, ear training, but most importantly, applying these skills into practice while playing your instrument.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

The approach I take is individualized and utilizes multiple teaching methods. Every student brings unique qualities and different interests and it is my job to find a way to connect those qualities and interests to music. One thing I emphasize is continued learning. If we are working on fundamentals of piano technique I find a way to slowly introduce more concepts that will be developed later on in our lessons. Read More

I should always take into account interest of the student and direct him on his way, chosen by him: (classics or another stiles). Read More

I have also served as a Teaching Assistant in the Harvard Music Department.
