My musical expereince is mostly classical, beginning at around age 8.  Since then, I have studied with several teachers of the New Jersey Symphony as well as graduates of the Juliard School in New York.  In the summer of 2011, I traveled to Italy where I continued my study of Italian language, art and music before graduating in the Spring of 2012.  While my muscial expereince is largely classical, I still strive to cover as many styles and genres of music, and am alwas willing to learn the muscial preferences of my students in order to provide the most meaningful lesson possible

While I do not subscribe to any particular school of study, such as Suzuki or Schrimer's, I am a firm beleiver in starting off with my students at their current level and pace.  Once I have assessed a students's personal ability, there is discussion of what goals/objectives the student wshes to achieve.  Once we have decided what direction the student wishes to take with their instrument, I typically use a variety of etudes, chamber, and solo music to offer both a strong technical base along with a freedom of choice.  Above all, it is important that the music/techniques provided are at the student's level, and work to move the student toward their ultimate goals in the instrument.
