Bio

I’m a professional Musician and Music Teacher with over 30 years of experience of teaching music to children and adults. A classically educated and trained instructor with a College degree in teaching music, I also have a vast experience in arranging and recording music in different genre(s): Blues, Jazz, Pop and Rock.

I love seeing students succeed, and I developed teaching strategies and methodologies that simplify many of the learning processes. I have combined my experience as a classical musician with expertise as a band performer and composer to create my own proved method of teaching people of various age groups, tailoring their musical interests and needs to their potential achievements.

My desire is to provide them with “tools” to make music accessible for anyone who wants to enjoy the playing and creating of music for themselves. It gives me particular pleasure when my students make progress and feel happy. Some of my students have become professional musicians or music teachers, while others simply enjoy the lifelong pleasure of playing an instrument.

I have combined my experience as a classical musician, band performer, composer and music teacher to create my own proved method of teaching that simplifies the learning process, making it enjoyable, fun and educational.

THE MUSIC LESSONS STUDIO​

Music lessons provide a wide range of benefits. Music grows new connections in the brain. Because of the way our two hands are used, playing the piano develops these connections better than any other instrument. Piano study improves math skills, coordination, and multi-level thinking. Students slowly develop independence of the hands, and the ability for each hand to perform a completely different action in coordinated unison. Studies show music lessons help develop concentration, coordination and self-discipline. Music lessons improve test scores, cognitive development, math and reading abilities, self-esteem. Taking music lessons as an adult is great if you want to bond with your children, or have a productive hobby that stimulates your mind and fingers. Music making makes adults healthier. There are significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following music lessons. These are factors that are critical in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and in improved health. So, if you have been thinking of taking up piano or any musical activity after all these years… it looks like it’s a great idea! ​ ​ Student Benefits Each lesson is both fun and enriching.
