Trumpet is one of my top subjects! Over 20 years playing and performance experience. Over 10 years of teaching experience.

I believe in tailoring each lesson to each student's individual abilities and learning methods. For students in school bands, I try to provide lessons that augment and complement what they learn in band class, focusing on areas of performance that may not receive attention in a group setting. For all my students, regardless of level or instrument, I help them learn music that they want to learn, while making sure they get the fundamental training that they need. I encourage and assist my students in finding opportunities to perform in solo performances and with other groups. I also pride myself in creating an environment where the students are comfortable asking questions to help improve their playing.
I have over 20 years' playing and performance experience. While I am no longer an active performer on trumpet, I have over 10 years' teaching experience. In addition to performing ... read more

I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning isn’t work; but part of growing up – and selecting a career – is learning that work can be enjoyable. I should mention that it is not my way to enforce memorization for the sake of it. If you understand concepts, that is much better. I always say “an example is the embodiment of a rule”. I am always committed to a student’s success; and will not let him or her give up. The biggest thrill in teaching is watching a student suddenly understand a concept. It happens frequently, and it never gets old.
For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college graduate at both the bachelorette and master’s level, I am a very focused on education of myself and others. I have a BS in Mathematics and ME in Environmental Engineering. Earning these degrees gave me an extensive knowledge of mathematics, applied mathematics, science, and engineering disciplines. During the last 7 years I have tutored taught classes for children K-12, and tutored many college students in various subjects such as algebra, calculus I-IV, physics, chemistry, geometry, and many engineering courses.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine. The joy of helping others get a true understanding of course work is priceless. I love working with children of all ages, as well as collegiate students. I have an abundance of patience, multiple ways to explain single concepts, and innovative ways to help familiarize the student to concepts. Learning is essential t ... read more
