If the student is all play and fun or is all work, I adapt to whatever they feel within themselves and follow that. If a parent is forcing a child to learn without them enjoying it I will notice and will always find a way to create a middle ground as I can offer many different forms of exploration towards a skill. In other words, I recommend allowing your child to choose what they wanna learn and trust the process as I believe if someone truly enjoys something and is passnate about they will show sufficient improvement overall in music and in life.

For piano students I usually use Piano Adventures method books while supplementing with scales, pop and classical repertoire, theory, ear training, history and more. For ukulele and guitar we focus on strumming patterns, rhythm, chords, and repertoire anywhere from rock or pop to classical.

Im always wanting my students to be a well rounded individual in music and in life. Read More

So it was that I befriended the Margulis family, all of whom are musicians, and during this time was exposed to many different schools of piano for a period of no less than 7 years. I continued my education at America's first conservatory, New England Conservatory. The time I spent deep in this musically rich environment can be summed up in a word: thrilling! Having been instructed from every major pedagogical school of piano (Russian, German, Austrian, Italian, French and American) I have a unique lens through which I view the glorious instrument.

I prefer that my students play a mix of classical and modern music because I believe it's important to study and play various styles of music. Music theory is incorporated into the lessons and technique exercises are to students to increase finger dexterity and promote finger independence. Students are encouraged to participate in recitals and other events and also have the opportunity to participate in group piano pieces if interested. Read More
