Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
It depends on the student's level and the type of music they prefer. For young students who want to participate in the MTAC or MTNA programs, I use those methods. For older students, we work for peak performance, how to get the very best performance you can.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Masters degree from Eastman School of Music in piano and composition.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I usually charge $90 / hr.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching composition lessons, music software lessons, synthesizer lessons and then developed a system for peak performance that combines cognitive therapy principles, neuroscience principles, deep understanding of anatomy and muscular function.
What types of students have you worked with?
Beginners to competition winners.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my students just received a scholarship to college.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Decide how much time you want to practice and what outcome / goals you have for learning. Choose a teacher who can work with the level of effort you want to put in and get you to your goals. I think teachers who are active performers (like me :) are better teachers.
