About
My teaching is tailored to the individual students needs. Everyone is unique and has different talents and goals. I have been performing since I was 4 and teaching since my teens. Studying music is just good for your brain. If you are a child, it increases your learning capacity, if you are older, it keeps your brain young. Expressing yourself in an art form such as music is healing and enlivening.
I love teaching. I have done a lot of things in my life, but it is the thing that I love the most. I like the challenge of making the hard work of learning a new artform fun. I was the director of a healing and performing arts center in New York city. I have degrees in medicine and music and believe that self-expression is important for healing and health. Besides, it is so much fun.
