I've been teaching music for a little over 5 years (2014). I have started many kids who don't know if they would rather learn guitar, drums, or piano. So I give them a tour of all three and show them the basics before they decide their favorite. I encourage consistent practice and practice methods that ensure that the students always feel a sense of improvement without frustration. Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More

I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More

It is my hope that I can give just a fraction of what those wonderful men and women gave to me, back to my students. My first experience teaching was in Marching band camp as a junior and senior in high school. As I became an veteran upperclassman, it became my job to teach the younger Freshmen and Sophomores how to march and play in the marching band. I absolutely loved passing on this knowledge and discovered I had a knack for speaking in public and an ability to clearly explain complicated ideas to my to those listening. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone
I want my students to be inspired and enjoy practicing music. Nothing for me beats the thrill of performing live and knowing that you did everything to prepare for a show, and that's what motivates me to get better. I hope for my students to discover what motivates them and use that to practice. I encourage practicing consistently, but I also understand when students are not able to reach an assignment; Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I like to focus on the practical application and aural aspects of instrumental learning as well as the technical skills. I invest heavily in listening and understanding as opposed to the largely 'by rote' style I was subjected to growing up! Whilst I will follow a student/parents desired path regarding exams, I will provide a rounded musical learning and experience that will enable students to excel in all endeavours and be creative, as well as pass exams.

Again, as a teacher my goal is to be honest and responsible to everyone's improvement in music. Nothing makes me happier than to see people I teach reach greater heights and even achieving skills that surpasses mine. As a person, I will support you through your obstacles at my best and try to answer all your questions with clearity and honesty. However, it is essential to note that regardless of how much I can teach you and point out your weaknesses, it is up to YOU to decide how far you will go. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My John Phillip Souza award. This is because as a senior in High School, we had an award ceremony that I looked not to attend.
I didn't even know that there was a music award nor did I expect anything. I attended & was called up for these two awards, one being the national John Phillip Souza award given to those who are leaders & have shown dedication in the field of high school music participation. Its my favorite award, accolade, or star given to me.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I didn't. However, I had my instructor of drums as well as some individuals at the high school level help me push myself, recognize where my flaws or weakness were, help me overcome the, & be a successful component for a band or ensemble.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
A Christmas party with my family. I was able to sit down, play the instrument with relative ease & I opted to continue down that path. It had made me feel good, I was good at the instrument, & my time of playing sports was coming to an end. It was the perfect timing as an 11 year old, both in the growth of le having the a l
When will I start to see results?
Within the 6 weeks is when you'll see results when a student first starts drums. When someone comes to me with prior knowledge, I see results within the first 3 - 4 weeks. This might not seem like a big deal, but to revamp & change sticking, posture, & bad habits might take more than 15 minutes at a drum set. The same goes for learning the proper ways at first; it might not be the most comfortable, but it will help you prevail after that 1st month of growth.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
While you can start a student at an elementary school age to play the drums, it is best to wait for a student to be around the age of 8 or older to start playing drums. Plenty of drummers started around the age of 4 or 5 & its a case by case basis.
If they are younger, see their interest especially after taking a lesson where they are presented the items that can be deemed boring or lacking in fun. If they are still receptive, they'll have the drive to move forward & take the lessons. Most of my students started between the ages of 4 - 8.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Create a constant routine of practicing. Follow this regimen consistently. Give equal time to each time. When struggling, give extra time to the topic, section, or problem. Consistency as well as independent practice is quintessential to the progressing of a student. Ask for someone such as your parents, significant other, friend etc to help you stay on track if you have trouble getting into a routine.
