Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola
I have been teaching all age ranges for 10 years. My goals are to make technique and performance perfect, and also have an understanding of the music in its time period and what the composer would want. I also encourage students to write their own music, and also improvise. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Electric Violin
My approach to teaching is to share my love for music with my students. I will allow students to go at their own pace, and set realistic goals and expectations. I like to focus on intonation heavily, as anything other than excellent intonation is not good playing, in the words of a former instructor. I also encourage creative expression in my students, and will often ask them to try different methods of playing a single phrase in order to increase the depth of their musicality. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
Voice methodology is to learn how to make the correct sound on the flow of breath. One must learn how to breathe whether singing loudly or softly in whichever style or genre the student wants to learn. String playing can be hard on the ears when beginning, therefore it is important to develop a good bow technique in order to make the best sound possible. I use the All For Strings method books.

My teaching style can most accurately be described as patient and creative. Music should be fun. The student should enjoy practicing. It is my job to create a lesson plan that allows a student to progress steadily, without straining the limits of their abilities. I feel that it is important to focus on the individuals goals and interests so that each lesson is meaningful to that particular student..I focus on music, not exercises. Read More

I started my teaching career my sophomore year of college while studying the performing arts. I first began teaching at a music school in Greenwich, CT after being referred by my orchestra conductor. After teaching there for a few months i was then recommended by a fellow teacher to instruct at a school in Darien, CT as well as their sister store where I developed a strong clientele. After teaching for the past six years i know that this is my passion in life. Read More
Instruments: Violin
Most importantly, learning violin should be fun. In my lessons, my students will find a variety of rhythm games and activities. I am not just teaching violin, but music as a whole. I feel that music appreciation needs to be built into violin lessons. I will share pop and classical music with students, show them live performance videos, and encourage them to experiment with their own natural abilities. I am a big communicator when teaching beginning students. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over Quantity, every time! Make sure to drill the fundamentals at least once a day, and to play them well, rather than quickly. You should always play scales slowly, as to avoid as many mistakes as possible.
Never underestimate the power of a quick 15 minutes with your instrument. You can even repeat the 15 minute practices 2-4 times a day, to get anywhere between a half-hour to an hour of practice a day!
Daily practice is the only thing that can 100% ensure improvement. Practice should be thoughtful, not rushed. Practice should require a full focus on the task at hand and be away from any distractions.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can they sit for 15 minutes and do something educational? (read, write, color, etc)
Do they know their ABC's, 123's, or are getting there pretty well?
Do they enjoy music?
If the answers to all of these questions are "yes", your child is ready.
You may think that your child is too hyperactive to start, but I find that involving physical activity with the music lessons hepls hyperactivity a lot. Hyperactive children simply have a lot of energy, and an instrument is a wonderful thing to put energy into.
When will I start to see results?
After the very first day, guaranteed.
If you're asking when they'll be able to play a song, it all depends on the age of the child, and how much work they put into studying their music when I'm not around.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I don't even listen to this too often in my spare time, but...classical, baroque, and romantic music is a time capsule, and I LOVE performing it.
I'm a big nerd about history, and I love to learn about people gone by. You learn so much from an artist from studying their work. Schumann's frolicking urges, Tchaikovsky's deep suffering. Sometimes I feel like I can hear Mozart laugh with glee when I play his work.
It challenges my fingers, challenges my mind, and gives me insight to the artist within.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
One of the conducting mentors I look up to most is Jeffrey Grogan. As a small child, he was helping out at the Mason Gross Orchestra Camp. He told us, "If you want to be a musician, make sure that there's nothing else you truly want, even a little. Because it's competitive out there. And it's real hard. And if you have something else you're good at...maybe you should consider going for that, first."
And I asked myself on that day if there is anything more that I love than music. Often, I make sure to ask myself that question again, and I arrive at the same answer. I have yet to regret my decision. Every day is wonderful.
