Instruments: Cello

I'm an acoustic and electric cellist multi-instrumentalist who is passionate about creativity and music as a means to joy! In 2019, I graduated from Temple University with a B.M. in Music Therapy/Cello where I studied both classical and jazz music. I've been playing cello for 13 years in orchestras, quartets, jazz combos, and my personal favorite, rock bands. I've played venues from the Kimmel Center to World Cafe Live and can be heard on several different recordings from my bands and other collaborators. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Cello, Trumpet, Trombone, Flute, Clarinet, Double Bass, Euphonium

I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week.  You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals.

Instruments: Cello

The passion for music took me all over the world, where I have been successfully teaching and performing. I have been teaching and mentoring my students for over twenty years now. I enjoy practicing and am happy to teach everything that I know, which is not only how to play the instrument, but also how to employ your knowledge in real life. You can hear me perform on local radio channels, and find some of my concert recordings on youtube. Read More

For beginner students who are children, I usually start them with the Suzuki repertoire. Once the student has reached a certain level of technical development, I will start them on solo repertoire outside of the Suzuki method. For adults, I focus much more on what the student is interested in, and try to pick out repertoire that suits their needs to make lessons engaging and fun. That being said, I'm a big stickler for fundamentals, and have all of my students practice scales and arpeggios. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle, Double Bass, Keyboard

For beginning string students, I start students with 'Time For Strings' written by Fishburn and Luman. This book is especially helpful for beginners due to the unique rhythmic approach. I also have an all-inclusive curriculum for beginning strings. When ready (usually within the first 6-8 months of lessons), all students are encouraged to participate in NYSSMA Festival's. Students taking private lessons are also encouraged to be part of my yearly recital. Read More
