For preparing college audition pre-college audition regional, all-state, all-eastern, national orchestra audition NYSSMA test in NY school orchestra music competition

Hi! I teach private lessons in acting, singing, guitar, piano, violin, cello, and bass. I love giving private students the tools to reach their goals and I like seeing the joy in their faces when they accomplish something new. I hold my students to high standards and I set high expectations.

I teach beginners as well as proficient students of all ages. I help the student find their own sound and develop good technical approaches based on the individual's current abilities.

I have many years of experience with students of all ages, in traditional and the Suzuki approach. My students who participate in NYSSMA score very well, and many play in area youth orchestras.in addition to Suzuki, I have a certification in the Kodaly method, and a New York State Teaching Certificate in Music K-12. I spend time in every lesson on note reading, and music theory as issues unfold for discussion. My approach is methodical and organized, and I spend time on good technical setup from the beginning. But above all, I maintain a sense of humor, and interest in each student as a person with unique needs, in order to tailor my approach
