Arban: A Complete Method, and various etude books as well as solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. Read More

My name is David I'm a Classically Trained Composer/Pianist/Producer/ Audio Engineer. An American Dominican born in Bronx New York. Although I am Classically trained I am also self-taught so my teaching style is unorthodox. My goals as a teacher are not to teach how to play the keyboard but to unlock the inner music in you. The objective of teaching students is not just to learn how to play a couple songs but to unlock the inner creativity in a student. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I was a gifted piano student at an early agw and was always involved in music. I was one of those teens who could "pick out" any song I heard, which made me valuable as a camp music director, putting on shows and sing-alongs. As the mother of a son with Autism, I know first hand how important a one-on-one CONNECTION is; most of Sam's strengths, skills and successes come from our shared conversations about pop music, movies, Disney, videos, show tunes, live concerts, etc. Read More

The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes. Students are taught a stimulating, thorough, and graduated course of recital solos, theory, technical studies, and a strandard instrument repertoire. For those wishing to pursue more of a classical approach to music, there are proven methods to accomplish that goal established by European Master Teacher and pedagogues. Also, I can teach the know-how of Jazz and Blues though gradual lessons that cover basic scales and chords up to melody and harmony development. Read More

I will always listen to what students want to learn and play but at the same time will introduce them to music they aren’t familiar with. To be a great musician you have to be well rounded in different styles of music. I will also encourage students to express their emotions through what they play because I believe music can be very therapeutic and sometimes people have a hard to expressing themselves through talking.

I am an accomplished self-taught musician. I am classically trained in Piano, which made teaching myself guitar, bass, organ, and keyboards (multiples at once) that much easier, and then I took lesson in each to sharpen the skills.

I am seeking a teaching position where my focus is assisting others in learning and/or honing a craft as opposed to my focus being on locating clientele or promoting myself. Read More
