Beginners - intermediate have a healthy helping of both theory ( notes, scales, chords), technique ( physical drills), and creativity! Meaning, songwriting, listening, learning favorite songs.. improvisation!

I have taught all ages and skill levels, from absolute beginners to advanced apprenticeships. To me it is extremely rewarding to see a person take their love of music with them into their life. Whether or not a young person decides to pursue a career in music, the skills learned in playing an instrument are helpful in virtually all aspects of life. I have experience with music school's and with teaching privately and have found a delicate balance of hard work and fun that I can tailor to any students needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My music career began in 1980's as an advertising copywriter and jingle composer in New York City within a big advertising agency. I composed well-known commercials for Purina Cat Chow, Cookie Crisp, Goya foods and other big brands. I created the "slogans" and tunes, hired the musicians, booked the studio recording time and produced the complete :30 TV commercial. After raising my children, traveling to kids parties and a dabble in local theater, I went back to college for a music teaching degree. Read More
Instruments: Piano
In accordance with the Russian school of piano teaching, I start the student off with the foundational skills of correct hand position and proper touch. It is very important for the student to absorb these concepts early on in order to avoid potential bad habits as his/her study progresses. I follow by introducing the student to the essential skill of reading music. I then have him/her play from the Russian School of Piano Playing book, a collection of beautiful simple pieces. Read More

My method is to teach in a way where the student can develop their own style while learning the basics of theory and technique. Depending on the skill level the student is currently comfortable with will determine where we will start. I like to make sure my students understand the first position of the instrument before moving on. We will learn this position by playing songs and developing a unique playing style for the student.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Having a proper ability of bringing out variety of sound and color, of understanding and obeying the original style regarding how to appropriately interpret pieces under composers' expectation. What makes it very hard is the mastery of voicing, ability for the tone quality control, and the ability to manage multiple lines at one time without disturbing the structure and texture simultaneously.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Have been mentioned in "My Methods" section.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a multi-layered voicing instrument, the harmony can be created on this instrument nor on other single melody instruments. I enjoy the sound of the piano and the touching of the keyboard. Piano is the only instrument that I have played for almost 20 years. Addition to the fact, I never learned other instruments beside piano, which I would have hoped to attempt learning a secondary instrument. I like that piano can possibly accompany many other instruments and singers. Range of dynamic and sonority are wide, which gives an unique character to create beautiful sound via such percussive-oriented instrument.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
While I was teaching in Gainesville, Florida, I have two students awarded with prizes in competitions. One was for Pre-College Piano Ensemble Competition sponsored by FSMTA and another went to the Young Artist Concerto Competition in Jacksonville. These two girls aged 16 and 17 years old respectively. Both of them are eager to play piano, and they're hard workers. In high school age, they squeezed times to have as much as practicing hours possible beyond their intensive academic studies in school. I set the goal for them and choose the competitions based on the categories of divergent sorts. During the preparing process, I worked hard with them for strategizing the effective approaches as to help them fix the problems.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of myself that have been involving in music profession since my undergraduate study. I'm proud of myself to keep the perseverance as being a pianist, and actively play the recitals in different cities, venues, and for different audiences. By staying in the musical profession as a pianist, it requires many demanding things, such as adequate practicing hours, ability to prepare repertoires for upcoming recitals quickly, to read music fast and done the polish sooner than later, and so on. It also requires a great coping skills while on stage if neither of your physical or psychological condition is good.
