Instruments: Violin
I am a passionate musician and teacher who loves working with new violinists. There is nothing greater than seeing a child (or adult) begin the musical journey. In 2007, I graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a Bachelors of Arts after spending four years in intesive violin studies. I am fortunate to have performed with many chamber orchestras and quartets over the years. I think my success as a violin teacher is owed to my creative approach to lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar
I believe the student is there to find a passion. It is so important to find love for the art, and this is what I try to provide. A lead-by-example approach is the core of what I do. I "draw" the student toward their own voice. It is imperative to help them find their own "style." The greatest musicians are true originals; and so I do not encourage my students to follow in my footsteps, but to blaze their own trails. Read More

Instruments: 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

Since 2007 till now, I always love to monitor the little weekly progress of my students turn into a huge development in their musicianship. I grew up playing Bach, Beethoven, and a variety of classical composer. In my teens I started learning all the pop songs, and playing with a variety of cover bands, and church choirs in Egypt.

I have created a curriculum which is comprised of the Suzuki series for Violin, the String Builder Series by Samuel Applebaum; the Introducing the Positions-Volumes I & 2 and Scale studies by Harvey S. Whistler. Music theory is taught using the Master Theory Series by Charles S.Peters and Paul Yoder. Additional Etudes that focus on Bowings, and Double Stops are taught to the more advanced student. Musical compositions such as Sonatas and Concertos by the major composers continue to develop the skills of the advanced student. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision. At first, I wanted to be a performer, and I was was for a while. I was also helping my less experienced fellows performers and realized I really liked teaching and helping others.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on Piano. Then three years into my studies I decided to pick up cello. My cello teacher asked me if I'd like to try upright bass. For a while I did all three: piano, cello and upright. I decided to try viola and with a little help from my older colleagues I was able to learn.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I grew up listening pop, blues and jazz. Then my uncle introduced me to classical music. I remember he played Rossini's Overtures for me on his old turntable and I loved it. I was only 14 when I bought my first classical LP - Mozart's Symphony No. 40
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Most likely I'd be an electronic engineer. I always had a passion for electronics, fixing radios, tape players, amplifiers. Even today I may pick up a broken vintage amplifier at the yard sale and then spend some time identifying a problem and fixing it.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandparents were grade school teachers and were required to play an instrument and teach music. My first musical instructions came from my grandmother at the age of 6.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
For my final piano exam I performed Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata. It was a tough piece, it took me over three months to master it. I always wanted to play it because it was a hallmark of Beethoven's piano work, turmoulious yet beautiful.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I come from the family of teachers and educators. At first, I wanted to be a performer, and I was was for a while. I was also helping my less experienced fellows performers and realized I really liked teaching and helping others. That was a main reason I decided to pursue a degree in music education.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Every piece has a difficult part, or parts. It's important to practice and solve one difficult part at the time before moving forward. Even if a student solves one problem in a single practice session, it is considered a success
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I never use a single method book. It's important to have the variety of pieces to play, some for fun, some for technique development. For absolute beginners I usually start with Suzuki and Thompson method, then expand it to classics such as Beyer, Gurlitt, Mozart and others. Also, light jazz, pop and show songs are included for students who express the desire to play such pieces
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I come form a family of teachers and educators. My grandparents taught me the basic piano. After the initial struggle, I decided I want to become either a professional player, or music teacher.
When will I start to see results?
If child is taught structured and gradual material, the first results can usually be seen after couple of months. It's highy individual. Some kids advance faster than others.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice every day. Even if it's only 15 minutes, practice. Never skip a day.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows interests in musical instruments, maybe it's time to give it a try. From my experience, most children ask their parents if they can start learning the instrument.
