Instruments:
My teaching style comes from a love of music and family. Every student I teach becomes part of a musical family that I've been a part of for over 30 years. I take the time to get to know my students which makes me able to tailor their music education specifically to their needs and likes. As a student progresses, I make sure that they realize the special work that they do and how it can impact their life. Every student I teach is distinct in their abilities which means I have to customize my teaching to them.
Instruments:
In my private lessons I emphasize building a strong foundation in rhythm, intonation, and note accuracy. I incorporate learning theory, and playing with musical intention into every lesson to develop maturity, even in young musicians. My students are comfortable reading music, and have all the skills they need to practice effectively. In addition, I have prepared many musicians for successful concerts, festivals, and gigs. I create my own custom lesson plans and materials to cater to the students needs. For young beginners, I recommend the KJOS Standard of Excellence book.
Instruments:
For beginning band/instrumental students, I normally begin with the Accent on Achievement Method Book 1. There are many similar books, but I enjoy this one because it's colorful and it isn't something that's intimidating for the kids to look at. Some books can look overwhelming for kids who are just beginning. For beginning piano students, I typically start with John W. Schuam's Piano Course: Pre-A (AKA "The Green Book) and John Thompson's "Note Speller" (AKA "The Red Book"). I do ask for all of my students to have a small manuscript book as well for notes and other exercises. All of these items are fairly inexpensive and can be purchased on Amazon or at any local music shop/retailer.
Instruments:
My first experience of teaching was about seven years ago, when I volunteered my services as a piano teacher to victims of a massive earthquake in Cairo, Egypt. I loved helping the students access the world of music and seeing their interest and skills develop over time. Post graduation, I decided to pursue my interests in music further and have been teaching music for the past two years. I have recently relocated to New York so I am looking to help people here reach their highest potential and to discover how enriching and fulfilling music can be to one's life.
Instruments:
I am a very dedicated and caring music teacher with 23 years of experience. I have taught students of all ages from early elementary school to senior citizens. All of my NYSSMA participating students have received scores of excellent or outstanding in Grades 1-4, and in the 90's on Levels 5 and 6. My main instruments are tuba and trombone, both of which I teach at all levels. However, I also teach trumpet, clarinet, flute, and saxophone up to late intermediate levels. Currently I have students that I first started teaching four years ago, as well as newer ones.

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.
