For beginning piano students, I typically start with the Hal Leonard "My First Piano Adventure for the Young Beginner," series. As students progress in their piano studies, I begin introducing solo repertoire that will support the concepts being learned in the book series.

For voice students, my approach will vary, depending on individual experience and skills. Read More

A voice lesson to me to should be easygoing and open, while having a task to accomplish. I encourage my students to enter my studio with an open mind and feel free to explore artistically. We set goals together and progress vocally with each song. I have an extensive library of music as well which my students are free to use to find new material. It's very rewarding to guide a student along their journey to discovering their voice! Read More

I have been involved in Musical Direction since 2008 when I established The Milford Players as an annual summer community theater group. I have since worked regularly in Brooklyn, New York as the Music Director, and have worked with various organizations through out the North East region ever since.

So many of us doubt our ability to become a focused, competent musician because "we dont have the time" or "we're too old to start a new instrument". Read More

As a performing professional Musician who is continually learning, I would like to pass-on what I have gained throughout numerous years of Musical experiences.
