I was educated in a very classical stylewithstandard exercises and methods,so the roots of my private lessons began there, as well.Currently I employ a more fluid method, based solely on my experience with an individual. This came from two places, really. One: My love of improvisation and having fun, musically and Two: My tenure as a high school music teacher for emotionally disturbed students. There, I really learned to assess the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of each musician. Read More

My methods vary. For piano, we start with simple technique exercises to make sure a student is making every note count. For younger students- like 6 and under- we'll nickname everything to make it easier. An example- the fingers should always be curled when playing piano, not flat. There should be enough space under their palm to hold hold a golf ball, so when they are playing with flat hands, I'll say 'golf ball' to remind them of the correct way, instead of being 'that mean old lady' type.

I have extensive experience as a private teacher (25+ years). I teach cello, violin/viola, and piano and have taught students ages 5-65. I also have prepared students for specialized middle school and high school auditions, pre-college programs, and other auditions. In addition to private teaching, currently, I teach group string classes in Harmony Program NYC. Since I play the piano I'm often the accompanist for my students' recitals. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.
