Learning Music Starts With Singing and Dedicated Practice Ma

Over 30 years; I specialize in teaching piano, choral conducting, vocal pedagogy, ethno-musicology, composition, music theory, harmony / counterpoint, and ear-training with solfege. I have taught children 6-18 for the past 30 years. I firmly believe that great education knowledge needs to be unfettered from the towers of elite schools like the Academy of Music in Paris, The Juilliard School, and others; this is why in 2005 I initiated a project called i-Learn Music 4 Free. In this spirit that I have published over 55 music education manuals, and created 32 ear-training lessons, available for free at 32 Free Lessons for Ear-Training with Solfege {32 hours, 448 videos}. Every child can develop a professional musical ear and enjoy the benefits of a solid music education through singing with Solfege.
from zero to Juilliard!!!

Piano, Guitar, Composition, and Conducting Lessons

I tailor each and every lesson. Every student has different musical goals, interests, ability. If you are my student, I will use my experience to create a roadmap with which you can attain your musical goals as efficiently as possible.
I have 6 years of teaching experience, in private and group settings. I am a pianist of 10 years and a guitarist of 15 years, working as a composer, conductor, pianist, and guitarist in New York City. As a composer, I've written works in all genres and styles, from songs and light arrangements to sonatas and symphonies. I am a very ambitious musician with a passion for creating lasting impressions, and that is the musical trait I hope to impart to all of my students!

I currently hold my MA in history. During my studies I have earned an in depth knowledge of research methods, rhetorical writing, and have become well versed in study methods. My writing skills are near flawlessness and I stress this important skill in my every day life. In addition, I am currently learning both Spanish and French in hopes of improving my chances of entering a doctoral program. During my MA work I privately tutored students in History, English Literature, and Spanish.
My years of studying and tutoring have given me the patience and kindness to work with both my peers, mentors, and children. I have a free-flowing personality and I am not easily shaken. I look for challenges in my every day life and welcome new ideas and criticisms so that I can not only improve myself, but those around me. I do not believe that "some people can not learn," but I do believe th ... read more

I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently and lessons cannot be taught primarily through auditory learning. A teacher especially one in the younger grades must engage in auditory, visual, tactile, kinestics and other learning methods.
I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a y ... read more

While our society uses exams to help track students, I do not merely "teach to the test." I believe that students need to develop skills in critical thinking, analysis and grasping concepts fully, in order to get their own understanding,so as to be well rounded in their academic success. I am also an educator/tutor who believes in the basics: nothing is a worthy substitute for reading, writing and effective questioning that encourages children to think on their own. Learning should be positive for both student and teacher with the responsibility of the outcome resting on all who desire success for the student.
I have been an educator and administrator for over 20 years. While I am certified in English for middle school through high school, I also assist younger students as I work with several elementary schools within the Syosset School District. I am familiar with Regents and ... read more

With a BA in communications and a minor in sociology, I have an understanding in many subject areas such as, english, history, speech and media. As a graduate student I have extensive experience in writing papers and doing extensive research. I have worked as a newsroom researcher in the past. I am currently working on my graduate Thesis as well. I have experience in teaching students in elementary school up to the college level. At Long Island University I have worked as a graduate assistant, and a Tutor. I also have experience in working with students in after school programs.
I am a very hands on person, who believes that with patience each person can learn. Some people must understand that each person learns in a different way. I do not believe that people should compare one child to the next, because it is unfair.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love interacting, teaching, and talking to students. My pleasure comes from seeing the bright smile on a child's face when the confidently turn to me to let me know that they understand what I have taught them. I enjoy developing different strategies for a person to understand the material being learned based around their learning approach, whether they are visual or auditory learners. I like to find fun, simple methods to memorize material. I believe that various ways at understanding material make it quicker to master more information in the same amount of time. Extra help from me as a tutor can make a world of a difference as your child proceeds in his/her educational experience.

I was very fortunate to attend Meredith College in Raleigh, NC where they teach students to be leaders and exceptional educators. I received a BM, Bachelors of Music Education, and became certified to teach K-12 Music in North Carolina. I gained valuable experience in working with children of all levels of education; not only through my methods classes, but also for two years I was the assistant director of The Capitol City Girls Choir in Raleigh, NC. During my undergraduate studies I was require to write an immense amount of concert reviews which has allowed me to develop an extensive amount of grammatical skills. Furthermore, musical theory classes stimulate mathematical and creative thinking. Following my undergraduate education, I have continued to study music in New York and have obtained a teacher’s certification in K-12 Music for the state of New York.

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe in a constructivist learning theory which suggests that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged in the learning process rather than attempting to receive knowledge passively. It is a guided discovery where I will lead my student through questions and activities to discover, discuss, appreciate and verbalize the new knowledge. All students can achieve their academic goals if given the appropriate support and instruction that fits their personal learning style.
It seemed I was always studying for something during the first 25 years of my life. First it was accounting in college followed by the CPA exam and then graduate school at night. I always enjoyed being a student and took advanced math classes including calculus with analytic geometry I & II. I am an avid reader and believe the book is alw ... read more
