Instruments: Violin
My teaching style works with many different personalities and ages. What I found is that it works best with parents and students who are committed and disciplined in their violin practice at home. It is important for all three of us to realize the commitment we are making when we start our lessons together. Our relationships will thrive with open communication and hard work from each of us. I enjoy getting to know each student's learning style and encouraging them to achieve excellence. Read More

My desire is for all of my students to know and learn proper technique. For beginner students, I will start with theory basics that are foundational to learning and can be directly applied to their instrument. Once they gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals, I will introduce more complete solo repertoire that they can begin to work on. Depending on the interests, learning desires, and level of the student, I will move forward with what interests them, though I may require some classical selections as I believe it to be a style foundational to a great musician.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I used to practice the piano five days a week, for one hour each time. I thought it was to much as a child. However, I would suggest to the parents that they reserve at least fifteen minutes to one half hour for practicing each weekly assignment, as well as, each prior assignment so the student gains the understanding and can see their own success. For adults, I would suggest ten minutes for warm up of finger scales, chord progressions and song choices, depending on ability at the time. If learning for the first time, I teach so we can play a favorite song together that is easier to play, again, so the student can see their success.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any association with musicality is encouraged early. Whether singing in a kids choir, playing a recorder in school, even listening to music creates a desire to play a musical instrument. Parents are encouraged to sing along with their children and learn a musical instrument so they can play along with their child. My success has been with children in their early teens through the age of seventy. Children can learn music if it is fun, not work. When young children learn the game of baseball, they have to learn the basics, but it is sure fun. I do not charge for the first lesson, so if your child would like to play a musical instrument, I encourage it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I recall one piano teacher, who had a home studio by Northeast High School. We always started with a few start beginning scales. Then, we played my last weeks song selection using music books appropriate for my level. What struck me was he always sat next to me pointing out ways to make transitions easier. He would show me, have me try it, then do it, then play together slowly. I learned the most during that period. He would always play the song selection as it should be played with feeling. Playing with feeling inspired me to continue my lifelong passion for music.
When will I start to see results?
I start the younger children slowly and keep it fun. They learn simple things they can play. I may be three notes that are part of a song they know from school. Children do not hit home runs in the first month of playing baseball.
The same goes for music and learning a musical instrument. If they like it, they will continue while it is fun. I encourage parents to stay positive about small gains, as they multiply over time. I would think you will know after the first month, taking your cue from your child, of course.
