Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument. For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I always try to teach the student how to improvise, because I think that improvisation is the heart of music, is where you can learn how to express yourself instantly. I encourage a continuity in the practice, it doesn't have to be 3 hours a day, it could even de 20 minutes a day, as long as you develop a discipline for it. I also use my own material that will fit the level and skills of my current student, in addition to exisitng repertoire. Read More

Essentials are first. Note names, hand position, mouth position, air, posture, rhythms, sheet music, ear training - it's all important and needs to happen concurrently. Everyone has different strengths; some students are able to handle a large amount of information stacking while others need a more one-at-a-time approach. Music is all about doing several physical and mental things at once, developing self awareness in learning *how* to improve a skill, and myelinating the pathways in your brain for the fastest connections possible.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am a singer/songwriter and pianist who loves sharing the gift of music with teenage and adult students. I have been teaching piano, voice and coaching songwriters since 1998. I have had the privilege of working with people of all ages, from different cultures and backgrounds, both as a performing/recording artist and as a music instructor. I started teaching in Vienna, Austria, and continued after I moved to Los Angeles in 2004. Read More

I teach combination of the Suzuki method and the Hungarian style (stressing the natural, comfortable, painless, tension free method). For young students, the Suzuki method is great, since the repertoire is all fun! Also the CD that comes with every level is vital! Children enjoy and benefit from that. I am an audiophile, so I can set up students with a quality hifi system on the cheap - this is so vital in Suzuki method, as he stated in his book, Nurtured With Love. Read More

For beginning students I like to focus on getting a great sound going. So I focus a lot on breath and relaxation. I work from Arbans, Clarke,Schlossberg and more, always creating lessons and plans to the students level of development. As the student grow so does the material I will present to them. Read More

My philosophy is to teach the student what they want to learn while including basic music theory. I feel it’s important they know what they are doing from the inside out and why. I plan performance opportunities for the students month. This gives each student a tangible goal to work toward. I emphasize that music is another language we can communicate with. Every time we practice we perfect our ability to communicate more fully. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would not chose any other profession than a musician. Music is my life, music runs through my veins and I am lifeless without it. It inspires me, it motivates me, it makes me feel things i've never felt before. Without music I don't know where I would be. I am still learning things about music that I never knew before. To be a musician is to be a lifelong learner. I guess if I had to choose something other than music I'd probably choose to be a professional surfer or a doctor because the medical field and surfing are two other interests of mine.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar because I wanted to learn the music that I was listening to, then in high school my friends played the guitar and we would sit around in the basement and play Nirvana, The Beatles and classical rock music. My favorite musicians played the guitar and I wanted to be like them and play like them. This inspired me and motivated me. By learning songs that I liked and listened to, It made me want to learn even more. I could play anything I wanted to play on the guitar. This made me want to learn other instruments.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest, a passion and a talent for music then they are ready to start lessons. It matters because your child wants to learn about music at this point. This will motive a child to practice, and practice is the most important thing to your child succeeding in their musical studies. If your child shows no interest or passion, then they will not practice because they ultimately do not want to learn. Motivation is important in how a child learns and applies what they have learned.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is essential to applying the things a student has learned. Without practice it would not be wise to move on to the next lesson. If a student wants to improve in their skills, posture, and mental knowledge of music, practicing is even more important than the lesson. It is important that a student stays motivated to practice, and practices everyday, even if it is 15 minutes per day. This will make a huge difference in how a student progresses. Effective practice takes applying each lesson every day.
