I usually use the Faber, Beyer, or Czerny depend on the student's level. I'd add Hanon, bach 2,3 part invention, Sonatina album, and the list can go on. For Jazz, all I need is manuscript paper and a Jazz Real Book (I'd hand out some exercise notes). For advanced students, I want them to listen to music a lot. Listening to music is very critical, it is just as important as practicing the instrument. Read More

I believe that aside from developing a sense of accomplishment and pride in my students, as they improve on their instrument, it is essential that from the beginning they learn to sight read, and this is especially true on the piano.

The way I learned is the way I teach. I was taught the same way multiple ways and because of this I can give students different avenues to learn the same thing.

I am currently attending the Hartt School at University of Hartford pursuing my masters in piano pedagogy. I have been teaching piano for the past three years and absolutely love working with students of all ages and levels. I have had the opportunity to perform multiple times with the University of Central Florida orchestra, as well as in solo, chamber and New Music Ensemble settings. I have been lucky to be influenced by many great music teachers throughout my childhood and know the importance of fostering an interest and a safe place for students to express themselves through music.

For beginning students, I typically start with the Hal Leonard Method Books. Once the student can get the basics down I start with basic rock and pop tunes, or whatever music the student happens to be interested in. Forintermediateor advanced players, I try to gage where the student wants to go with the instrument and try to help them any way I can with theory or performance. I try to keep the student engaged and having fun no matter what but at the same time becoming a better musician. Read More

I am a graduate student of the New York University Steinhardt School, received my Masters in Piano Performance and Advanced Certificate of Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy in 2017 and was an adjunct faculty at NYU as well for piano and keyboard classes.

During my graduate studies at Steinhardt, I learned and applied a broad range of teaching strategies, in addition to my much improved and impeccable performance skills. Read More
