For beginning students, I typically start with basic elements of Music: scales, melody, harmony and rhythm, with the interactions of musical instrument, e.g Guitar. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first performance. I will try that repertoire is good for the students, according to their likes and trending. I try to find out what the student is interested and what motivate them. Read More

I started playing the violin when i was 5 years old, I went to Hamilton Country Day School in Attleboro MA as a child where violin was part of the curriculum. I was lucky enough to be the Concert master in the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in the Prep Strings section when i was 10 years old. I don't have prior experience teaching students, but i have almost 20 years of experience playing, and look forward to sharing what knowledge, and passion for music i have with students of all ages.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instructions to their wants and needs. Read More

I find joy in helping students achieve their goals. I always aim for high quality, but also make the process fun. If the goal is to sound professional, I make sure we spend a good amount of time working on scales, etudes, and learning the essential classical music like the Bach six Sonatas and Partitas. I like the Galamian violin playing methods, and find them very effective to teach. I do this with almost all levels of students, as it solidifies the technical skills of a performer, allowing them to express themselves musically. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone
For children my teaching style is very reward based, I love stickers so always give them one once they've mastered their song for the week and such. Lots of encouragement and positive feedback and working through the difficult things in a positive manner. For adults I will teach based on you! If you are really looking for a fun hobby with the music we will be more laid back and relaxed with it and can bounce around and learn all sorts of different things! Read More
Instruments: Violin
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 5 years ago. Since I have been playing concertmaster for two university orchestras back then. It was my great pleasure to help each member of the orchestras enhance their skills and learn the orchestra repertoire. During my spare time from school, I consistently instruct a few orchestra members who were willing to learn and improve. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do what is suggested on the weekly lesson and practice plan. If you cannot cover everything on the list, do what you can, but do it well. Try practicing at the end of the piece first, moving back to the beginning. Find your trouble spots and play with them many different ways. Play scales and scale patterns every day. Consistency is crucial. Fear sneaks in when days are missed. If you are not with your instrument, listen to good examples of your pieces, watch others play, learn to practice with your sheet music alone!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child is insistent about starting, over time, visit someone's lesson. Meet with the teacher and if possible, attend an introductory lesson. Ages 6-8 are great ages to start, but make sure that the child has the time during the week to devote to practice. Are there other musicians in the family? If the parents or siblings also practice, the child in question may be ready to take on the challenge too. Also, having the parent involved in the lessons and supportive at home will encourage readiness.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on my instrument is the fluctuation of dialogue in my head from insecurity to accomplishment. There are days when I feel I know little about the wood and strings I hold, and others when I go straight to the sound, from what I hear in my head to the sounds coming from the violin, viola or cello. Each day is a new beginning. For me, the reality of six decades of playing sometimes clashes with the how far I have yet to go. There is no rule book for internal expectations.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I started out as an artist. From an early age, I said that I would be one. I did actually win full scholarship to Massachusetts College of Art (1967), but left after only 2 years. If not music, I would have gone on to create large oil paintings, perhaps illustrations for books or would have become an art teacher or a poor starving artist. There are many correlations between the arts and the elements of balance, color, emotion, the inertia of beginnings, and the pride of accomplishment, all of them being wellsprings of music creation.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
At a point in my life I was miserable at my job, feeling that the money did not justify the time spent doing something that was unfulfilling. I began to visualize being happy and fulfilled, warmed by doing something that would connect me to people. After a few weeks I began to add music to my vision. I was playing fiddle at a contra dance one evening when a few PASOW teachers approached me. The Performing Arts School of Worcester was looking for a folk musician to help bring folk music to their established classical program. Things changed dramatically and happily for me then!
