My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More

One of the many advantages to private instruction, and what makes me so passionate about it, is that each student can move at their own speed. Private lessons should be tailored to the individual, so that the student can form a solid foundation. I believe in teaching students with encouragement and positivity, so that playing an instrument can be an enjoyable challenge, rather than a wretched slog. It is important to me that my students know I believe in them, and that our goals are agreed upon as a group. Read More

I want my students to have fun, but to also engage in very structured learning. All students must find time to practice during the week, but the parents must be a huge part of helping their child learn this new instrument. We will set weekly, realistic goals for each lesson. During the lesson, we will review the last concept that was learned, go over the lesson for the day and then create a lesson for the following week and be sure that each lesson is explained and understood.

Instruments: Violin Viola
When teaching students how to play an instrument I always keep in mind my end vision: students realizing that music is not just about perfecting the technical skills required to play, but it’s about getting to express that which makes us human; our feelings, personalities, hopes and dreams, our realities. I am incredibly passionate about music; this is because it has always been a way for me to examine myself deeply, understand my strengths and weaknesses, and make sense of my existence. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
It is important that each student progresses at their own pace, so I craft custom lessons for each of my students, making sure that whatever their ability level, they are learning to have a passion for music. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Creating a clear, achievable goal each week gives the student a feeling of accomplishment, and makes them eager to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been teaching violin and viola for the last six years. My main goal is to make sure that student is having a great time learning how to play an instrument while making sure the student understands good practice habits. I want to make sure that the student has fun in their lessons and I make it my main priority. If the student wants to learn jazz, I am well versed in jazz and can teach jazz. Read More

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.
