Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Mallet Percussion

I work with my students from a method book, and then move to  add scales, etudes, and repertoire as they advance. Additionally, if I start teaching an older student as a beginner, I believe it is important to teach them at their intellectual level. I never intend to talk down to my students, and I always strive to meet them where they are to raise their level of understanding. Finally, if students are interested in learning a particular song or want to focus on a particular topic, I am always eager to help them with that! Read More

My music teaching experience started eight years ago. I go all over New York City to my students homes to teach them private individual music lessons. You must practice five days a week at a consistent time within the day. Practice and repetition and review are major key points for any student to progress in music. Repetition and practice and review is the mother of success in music. The main reason you should take up music is that you love learning about music and love learning how to play different musical instruments. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

With beginning students, I will lay out all of the fundamentals, teaching all of the scales, basic chords, key signatures and time signatures, and gradually integrate strategies for reading music. Depending on what the student is interested in learning, I will pull from my pool of repertoire - we could be studying a Bach Invention at the same time as a Billy Joel song. Classical music is great for technique and in many ways textbook for teaching harmony, but I play and love contemporary music, and will teach anything, as long as there is some form of musical knowledge to be gained from the material.

There, I helped students having difficulties with their basic Music subjects such as Modern Harmony, Ear Training, Tonal Harmony (Classical Harmony), Conducting and Arranging. Read More
