Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
From the first lesson the student is introduced to the proper hand-finger techniques with progressive five finger exercises and pieces. Gradually moving from primer books to elementary, where we will dive into more diverse repertoire from all musical eras and styles. Transitioning from elementary to advanced will be smooth and engaging. The goal is to develop musicianship and performance
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began lessons in 1991 in Sicily under the tutelage of Ms Marika Torchio learning the proper hand-arm-finger technique, hand articulation, phrasing, and performance. In 1995, moved to New York continued lessons with a Crane School of Music graduate and performed at various events throughout Long Island. I also attended Suffolk Community College in Selden NY minoring in Music Performance, graduated in 2009. In 2014 I began teaching in Ronkonkoma NY both privately and in a studio preparing many students of all ages for recitals.
I am now a member of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto Canada, the Music Teacher National Association and a Certified teacher for the Wayland Baptist University in Plainview Texas.
