Private Study
Entry Level Students
I take great passion in teaching beginners and starting students on the right foot in their musical journey. I will instill the basics of posture, technique, and theory along with a fresh teaching curriculum to keep you engaged and excited about your study. I used a multipronged approach of working from instructional booklets as well as learning music that students enjoy. We will learn by ear as well as by sheet music and get you set up with the foundational elements you need to succeed and to continue your study!
Intermediate Level Students
Does your "time feel" need improving? Do you want to learn more about improvisation, accompanying yourself or a singer, or about modes? I have multiple practice rubrics that can help you set 6 week, 6 month, and year long goals to help you progress and establish consistency within your playing. I also integrate what I call "active listening" into our lessons, where we will break down a song and all of its elements into pieces and really get into the meat of the music.
Advanced Level Students
Feel like you've hit a wall in your piano journey? Well, I have the resources to push you in a new arena. Be it in depth score analysis, study of melodic minor modes, diminished scales, or developing your rhythmic independence, I have a multitude of areas to challenge you as a musician. Want to start exploring stride piano? Reharmonization? Classical music? I have a myriad of options for advanced students that can challenge you to expand your playing.

College Audition
Coaching
As an adolescent I was very involved with the high school and college all star bands and auditions. In my college application process I had to put together material for prestigious music conservatories like Juilliard, Berklee, New School, and Manhattan School of Music. I also attended Grammy Camp and am extremely familiar with the process of putting together audition tapes, choosing and preparing material, and constructing solos.
Having a teacher help prepare you for these types of auditions is extremely valuable and something that I have great insight into. I know what the
A benefit I have as a working musician is putting together a high level rhythm section for audition tapes, so your skills can be enhanced and supported.
