Go confidently in the direction of your dreams....

Live the life you have imagined.... Let the words of Thoreau be your inspiration! Allow me to lead you study of (classical) piano and/or French, and/or ESL. Whether you choose to study one subject or a blend of music and language, we can arrange it for you, and tailor it to your needs. I am currently an Adjunct Lecturer at Monroe College in French and Speech/Communications, English, Music Appreciation, and Geography. I have also been affiliated with Inlingua International Language Centers as an ESL instructor. Further, I ran a piano studio for a number of years, producing students who not only enjoyed playing, but consistently performed well in recital and competition. As well as being a professional musician, I have been in the music business in NYC with ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers), and then with EMI Music Publishing. As well, I have run my own theater company, for which I wrote and performed musically in all my plays. No stranger to production, I am currently working in studio production and putting together special events and shows. I am prepared to work with students of all ages, both less and more advanced in study.
