Teaching Info

My teaching approach involves working closely with each student, building upon their existing strengths and developing new ones. I cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced musicians. I understand that every student has their own unique needs, and I am committed to creating a personalized lesson plan for each one.
My piano lessons cover a diverse range of genres, including Jazz, classical, popular, blues, and Latin. I also focus on piano techniques, posture, and effective practice routines. Additionally, I offer classes on various subjects, suitable for both piano and non-piano students:

• Improvisation: intervallic, hexatonic, pentatonic, motivic development, blues
• Composition & Arranging
• Theory & Harmony
• Sight reading
• Ear Training
• Ensemble & comping
• Rhythm covering Jazz, African, South American, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian
• Taubman Technique (for pianists) / Alexander Technique
• Music school admission / audition preparation

For years, I have been teaching both piano and non-piano students. I am proud to share that some of them have been accepted into prestigious Jazz programs at renowned institutions like The New School, Berklee College of Music, The New England Conservatory, and City College of New York, with a few even receiving scholarships. My private lessons are offered in the Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and New York areas, as well as on Zoom and through pre-recorded sessions.
