I started giving Music lessons 20 years ago. I began giving private lessons and group lessons part time in the afternoons after I finish school in the mornings. Young students come to me asking me for lessons after a Gig or performance. I found very interesting and exiting to see the progress of the students with my own personal methods. We follow a process with disciple but we also have fun and we go to the direction that the student feels more attracted. Read More

I have been a working music teacher and professional musician since 2003. My work has taken me all over the world, from exotic, global itineraries on board 5-star cruise ships, to the some of the top music venues in New York City, as well as the homes and classrooms of many satisfied students. I graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, with a B.M. in Jazz Performance (saxophone). I also hold a Certificate of Eligibility in K-12 Music from the New Jersey Department of Education, as well as a Substitute Teaching Certificate (specializing in music) for Sussex County school districts in New Jersey.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it's important that each students progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson, and try to find out what inspires my students. Once I know what makes my student eager to learn more, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

When teaching students who are young, I would first start off with the fundamentals. For example, I would explain music terms to them and develop the new language from there. Once the student has a basic understanding of music, I would then talk about the Circle of Fifths and encourage them to participate in events like concerts or festivals in school. When becoming a young adult, I would then discuss competitions and help them prepare for college auditions. Read More

For more than 20 years, I have successfully directed the Young Virtuoso Music Academy in Diamond Bar, California. My students consistently excel in competitive music programs such as MTAC’s Certificate of Merit, ABRSM, and Advanced Placement (AP) Music Theory. Many achieve near-perfect scores in theory exams, and they regularly earn “Excellent” ratings in technique, performance, and sight-reading. My teaching approach includes personalized strategies that ensure students achieve their highest potential, often skipping levels and receiving Honor Certificates. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In elementary school we had music class once a week for an hour. We worked on a school program that we put on at the end of the year. One year we put on our program, but one child was front and center. None of us really knew him. He played the glockenspiel and xylophone. All of us kids onstage were amazed by him. At the end of the show most of the parents were clapping for him, including most of us kids onstage. The music teacher came onstage and gave him a big hug with pride. I asked the music teacher later how I could be like that kid. It was then that the music teacher told me that the boy took individual lessons from him.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
All weak points need to be addressed, as well as practicing in different environments. Beginning your day constantly with the same daily exercises can be good, but it also may leave you completely dependent on those exercises before you perform. Life isn't always so accommodating. Switching things up, daily or almost daily, will create a more solid embouchure and a greater ability to succeed in your performances. I have collected exercises over the years that will conquer boredom, which could lead to improper use of a daily exercise and hinder your performance in the long run.
When will I start to see results?
Children will see results immediately and will be excited about picking up the instrument the next day. The next day's results will make them understand that they can actually get better every single day. This is mandatory to keep a child's interest, and it's an absolute necessity for them to keep going in the long run. One of my trombone professors explained progress to me as not really walking up a ramp to get to a higher performance ability. It's more like walking up the rungs of a screw. You may slide down a rung every so often, but no matter what you're always on your way up.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every child is ready to start lessons at any time, even if they've never even created a noise on the instrument. Having a professional show your child the ropes from the very beginning gives them a tremendous head start. Children can become immediately turned off at the beginning of learning an instrument if they see it as hard or too much effort. Some will even give up immediately. Making progress from the first time they pick up the instrument turns a light on inside of them that may never turn off.
