University of Wisconsin: BS English

Juilliard School of Music: Music Diploma

Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music: Master of Music

Overview:

I have played the piano since childhood and specialize in the classical repertoire, as I believe it offers the most comprehensive method of attaining instrumental mastery. However, I will not hesitate to use any material that interests a student, in any genre, provided sheet music is available. I can play jazz and improvise fluently and have also played in blues bands, but prefer to devote myself to classical music. I play the guitar at an advanced level and for the last seven years have written about a great variety of Western music for Fanfare Magazine, contributing full length interviews, often with famous musicians, and CD and DVD reviews. I initially covered Indian film music for Fanfare and therefore have sufficiently eclectic taste to enjoy music from other parts of the world.

EXPERIENCE

I am a very experienced piano teacher, having taught the instrument for many years to students as young as four. Currently, I do not accept students under the age of ten, except in exceptional circumstances. While I enjoy helping beginners learn their way around the piano, I am also qualified to teach advanced students and can be of particular assistance to those who wish to reach the highest level. 

METHODS USED

I follow no particular method, although I try to inculcate a fluid technique. I have been greatly influenced by Gyorgy Sandor's ideas (author of On PIano Playing and a former teacher at the Juilliard School), but have evolved my own approach. I have found that a student's motivation and commitment are more important than the methods used. Consequently, I modify my "curriculum" to suit their individual personalities and talents.

LESSON STYLE

As a teacher, I am personable, relaxed, but also methodical and detailed. I allow students to progress at their own pace. However, those hoping to pursue a serious musical education of necessity must follow a more intense discipline, which I am happy to provide.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
