With more than 35 years in professional music, I have been able to understand that the mental attitude and the openness of the sensitivity to face the music that you are going to do at a certain moment is what makes the difference.

Every student is different.  The most important thing is for the student to get along with their instructor.  I am a patient and easy going person, but I also want discipline and excellence.

My teaching styles are ever-changing but first and foremost I strive to meet the student where they are at in their musical journey, work in small chunks and learn to love the act of learning. Timing, technique, tuning, dynamics, timbre, music theory, writing, recording, listening improvisation (and more) are all crucial to being a modern musician but the most important of these is fun. If you aren't enjoying my teaching then I am not doing my job correctly. Read More

With these songs we work on acting, interpretation, confidence and ease of singing. For my students who are more advanced and who's voices have begun to change, I work on technique and ease of vocal production.

I apply the same method of picking a song (something in Italian) and having the student pick a song. Read More

I like to get an idea from the student and the parent what their expectations are for music lessons. From there, the student and I come up with musical goals to accomplish for that year. We create a practice schedule based on the student's school and extracurricular activities and try to follow that schedule as much as possible. I also like to incorporate other styles of music such as popular Broadway pieces and Contemporary pieces into the student's repertoire so that they can have greater diversity in their piano playing or singing.
