I welcome all ages and all types of adventures! I have early education experience, special education experience, undergraduate and graduate college teaching, as well as classroom teaching experience. We will find a teaching style that is tailored specifically to each student's needs. Every person has artistic talents! However, it is up to the teacher to find those talents, and nurture them. While practice helps, practice never makes perfect... it makes permanent. Read More

Teaching methods are varied according to different students. I believe that each student has their personality and own way of learing, so one way of teaching wouldn't fit all students at the same time. For beginner students who are children, I typically start with some fun musical games to help them learn the fundamentals, for adults I usually jump right on what's needed to establish the basics because efficiency is the priority thing they look for in making progress of playing the violin.

With my students, I always try to find what they want to achieve and tailor my lessons towards that. I always love seeing my students improve and teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs. I set weekly goals for my students, and keep track of their progress in personal journals. Each student is different, and progress will vary from student to student. It is my job to make sure the student is always challenged and strives to do their best. Read More

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE My teaching experience started in 2007 with teaching young kids from our youth meeting in church. Now I am teaching in my home studio in Belleville, NJ since 2016. With more than 10 years experience, I love working with new students of all ages. I use a curriculum developed by Mrs, Irina Gorin which specialize in kids from 4-6 years. Her method is based on involving both the students and the parents in the piano learning experience. Read More

My musical lesson or lecture is a creative process where there is no teacher and students, but there are senior and younger colleagues who create in common this process of creativity. The creative growth of the student is defined not by quantity of the learnt homework, but by quality of employment and display of his creative activity in any process. I should always take into account interest of the student and direct him on his way, chosen by him: (classics or another stiles). 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.
