In the event of student or teacher illness, I also offer lessons over Zoom using two cameras, with one positioned directly above the piano keys. For Zoom lessons, all materials are emailed to parents beforehand at no additional charge. 

I believe in the importance of communication between the teacher, students and parents.  At the end of each lesson, I record short video clips to demonstrate what to focus on during the week while practicing.

All classes include:

• Learning to read music, sight reading and technical mastery of the instrument
• Developing proper technique for instruments and voice
• Achieving short and long-term goals through studio-held recital opportunities, as well as international examinations such as those through the Royal Conservatory of Music 
• Ear training, chords, harmonization, learning to sing and play in tune

Violin and Viola

Suzuki based approach with an emphasis on musical games, listening, repetition to allow students to master concepts with confidence and enthusiasm.

Orchestral auditions and chamber ensembles are welcome for group coaching lessons.

Singing and Voice

Voice students will study proper vocal warm ups, vowel exercises, breath control and clarity of sound. 

Learn to project your voice without damaging vocal chords while maintaining beautiful, clear tone. Styles offered include pop, musical theater and classical selections in English, Italian and German.

Piano and Music Theory

Piano students will learn proper technique to maximize dexterity of fingers while minimizing the risk of injury to the delicate muscles in the wrists and fingers. 

You will also learn chord inversions and structures which are crucial for improvisation and composition.

Exploratory Class

Designed for children, as young as 5, whose families are committed to music education but who have not yet chosen a primary instrument. 

Try several instruments, musical games and interactive parent-child learning activities to introduce your child to a lifelong love of music.
