Music Lessons Connecticut

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Music

I have been teaching beginner students and children privately for the last 5 years. I have been freelancing as an organist, pianist, chorister and cantor all over Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts for the last 7 years. I particularly specialize in early music - from the Middle Ages through about 1780. I have particular love of early keyboards - clavichords and harpsichords, specifically. My vocal experience has helped and extensively continues to help my keyboard-playing AND keyboard-teaching. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

I began teaching private lessons in 2019. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for student, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. If a student is not having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Mastery in discipline occurs upon finding the balance between your persistence and your passion. One of these elements cannot function without the other, like that of the technique and artistry of a musician. It is through these concepts that freedom of the instrument is attainable. I strive to provide insight that students at any level may apply to their technique. While the capacity of one's instrument may have limitations, growth within any style or genre ultimately relies on ones artistic decisions. Read More

I teach in a firm, thorough style, and prefer to emphasize the importance of basic body position and movements through both technical exercises and the repertoire of piano pieces. Reading music is another ability I believe is essential and I always teach this skill to students of any age. Read More
