My teaching experience dates back to when I was in middle school, and I taught my neighbor's kids. Since then, I have had several piano students. I have also worked for a school district as a Substitute Teacher where I had the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects and work with a multitude of students. I would like to expand on my private teaching experience, as teaching and playing piano have always come naturally to me. Read More

For the beginners, hold a correct gesture, good handposition, or firm embouchure, and air support are some of the main requirements. When the students start to learn, adding upmore etude books, like Rubank Method, Rose Etude, Kell, Thompson, Byer, Just the Fact, Sonata, Concertos, Etudes...., and music from different genre would be presented at different timings. During the lessons, fine hand positions, great tone quality, good embouchure, fine posture and position would be the fundamental requirements and will be reminded at all time. Read More

I relocated to New York City in 1992 to major in music at Hunter College. Living in NYC I began performing live and became a studio session musician in the process I developed songwriting and arranging skills as well as my own composing style. As I advanced musically I began teaching piano, guitar and music theory at the Academy of Music. Teaching the basics of piano really helped me develop a love for exploring and learning music with students . Read More

I usually start all of my piano students from the Alfred series. Those that are more advanced will complete the curriculum quicker.. Alfred seems to offer a more detailed instruction technique. It offers step by step instructions. The student can almost teach himself. For guitar I use the Everyday guitar method. This method introduces each string at a time. By the end of the book, you will be playing songs on each string. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
- turn off the TV or internet when practicing. Focus!
- 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than an hour of just messing around.
- be sure to play some music....not just a bunch of exercises all the time!
- play scales slowly at first in order to hear your tuning and pitches. Speed can come later.
- rest when tired. Then, do some more.
- use a metronome quite often
- use play-along recording
- record yourself once in awhile (use phone, iPad, digital recorder, etc.)
Best advice ever:
If you miss one day, you'll know it. You miss two days, your teacher knows. Miss three....the audience knows it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They should want to do it to some degree. If they're forced into it, they won't enjoy themselves and will end up resenting music lessons.
For trombone, being 'too small' could be a problem, unfortunately. Maybe they need to start on the trumpet if they're too young to physically pick up a trombone. But, you could buy a lightweight 'P-Bone' (made of plastic...and it plays!)
When will I start to see results?
Beginners: within 30 minutes. (expectations have to be realistic with beginners. If they get off to a good start with lessons, then they'll know what to work on in order to make some progress.
High school students: if they don't take the horn home from school and practice, well....sorry....it'll be erratic progress.
Adults: with dedication, they could be playing in any kind of ensemble they dream of within 5 years at a totally professional level. Maybe even sooner. They could have the stamina to play in a simple rock band horn section in a year if they kept at it...again, maybe sooner. Every individual is different.
* sometimes, having a teacher help you find a better mouthpiece that works for you and your horn can be a 'miracle cure'! I've gone through the mouthpiece search many times, and I know that it is vitally important to have a mouthpiece that works for you....not against you!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother....she was a professional piano player/teacher/accompanist.
I grew up listening to great music from birth. After high school, I was 'lost' in thinking of what to do or study. Then, a light bulb came on inside me....music!....it's what I'm always listening to and thinking of anyways.
My mother helped me get caught up on my music theory in order to audition for university music school.
And, she played for my recitals as well. Couldn't have done it without her!
