Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
If you wish to educate, you must inspire first. Each student is encouraged to proceed at a pace that is suited to their aptitude, goals, schedule and drive. Positive acknowlegement of achievements, clear communication and demonstration of techniques, opportunities to play with others at a similar level of growth and an atmosphere of musical community are key to the progress of my students. To inspire, instruct, and enjoy music is the mesaage the teacher should be imparting to the student. Read More

As a piano teacher, my approach to education aligns with the Classical Model, emphasizing the development of critical thinking and listening skills alongside fundamental reading, writing, and thinking abilities. I believe in fostering a classroom environment that encourages participation and engagement, utilizing varied historical themes and musical materials to promote analysis of primary and secondary sources. To ensure all students can succeed, I provide a range of methods and assignments, including writing assignments, office hours, and exam review outlines. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Organ French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
Talented, friendly, experienced, and faithful musician who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2017, I graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music theory and composition. Performing with friends and in churches, symphonic and marching bands has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician. I took classical lessons from age 9 to 13 and learned jazz and classical music theory through my education at arts high school and at Harvard University. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I am a lifelong student of music. I began playing the guitar at a very young age, 7 years old, and was playing in public by the time I was 12 years old. Around this time I took a correspondence course in Arranging from the then Berklee School of Music, which did eventually also become my alma mater and I even began teaching for my teacher. I have played and performed throughout the new England states as a solo performer and in bands/ensembles, and have had some of my orchestral works performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra, truly an achievement for a kid who grew up as a rocker.

Instruments: Piano
I design curriculum and select repertoire based entirely on the unique position of each student. As a result, the methods I employ vary widely from student to student. In general, I help students to identify and scrutinize areas in which they hope to grow, and systematize methods for development in those areas. The first lesson always begins with asking a new student to play something for me. If a student comes to me with no experience at all, I will simply ask them to play anything for me - any combination of notes, volumes, clusters, and sounds over any period of time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
It really all started back in 1994, in the small town of Mays Landing, NJ when my mother first signed me up for piano lessons with my first teacher Fred Rushmore (a.k.a. Mr. Fred). I studied hard with him for over 10 years when I started accompanying the Oakcrest High School choir under the direction of Charles Bass. I learned a lot about playing with others there ultimately preparing me for my journey ahead in college. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I always emphasize musicality in my teaching, because if as performers, we are focusing on being expressive, we'll convey our love of music! If a student can think about what the music is expressing, they will be more motivated to keep practicing. I focus on the fundamentals such as tone, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, basic music theory and history. I always give specific positive feedback, along with a tip for improvement. Finally, I always go over how, how much, and what to practice in lessons, so the student can learn what to listen for and focus on outside of the lesson, and keep improving during the week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first learned the basics of playing the clarinet and played in school bands from 4th grade until middle school. When I was in 7th grade, a friend of mine let me try his saxophone and I found it was easier to express myself on that instrument, so I switched. While studying to become a music teacher, I realized that playing both instruments would help me the most in my career, so I began to practice the clarinet again as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Schedule two or three times during the week outside of the private lesson where you can practice without interruption. Make sure you have a practice area where you can keep your metronome, reeds, music stand, etc. in one place. Develop a warmup routine that is consistent and touches on all the areas of breathing, embouchure, posture, technical exercises, articulation, and so forth, before moving on to literature, tunes, or band music. Keep a practice log in which you note when you practice and what you practiced and for how long.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It’s a good question, and I am going to touch on 3 things to consider before starting.
1. Can Your Child Focus For Short Periods Of Time On A Task?
If a bit of focused concentration is there, we can build on that attention span. At first we might be stringing together little tiny bites of concentration, with built in tasks in between. Over time we can stretch that out and your child will learn to focus and concentrate for longer periods of time.
As long as some concentration is happening you are on the right track for getting started.
2. Will Your Child Interact With Another Adult Who Is Giving Them Instructions?
For many students this is the first time they will work in a close one on one interaction with someone who is not a parent or relative. Depending on the child, this may be no big deal or may be something that you will need to work on before lessons start.
3. The Most Important Consideration For If Your Child Is Ready To Start Music Lessons Is:
Are You The Parent Ready To Undertake Music Lessons With Your Child?
Research shows that one of the biggest indicators of a child’s long term success in music is actually the parents long term commitment to music. I think it’s because we approach activities our children are “trying out” much differently than those we are committed to them doing long term. We put more time and emphasis on helping them form habits and stay disciplined about something we want them to still be doing years from now, for example.
Music lessons, and especially practicing with your child daily, takes a lot of time as a parent.
You will have a wonderful opportunity to bond with your child, understand how they learn, and help them to flourish and thrive. You will also need to find to make room in your family’s schedule to practice and perhaps sacrifice time for other things in order to practice daily with your child.
