I am a classically-trained pianist and music enthusiast seeking piano students that wish to expand their musical minds through collaboration, performance, listening, learning, and intellectual discussion. I am also open to accompanying vocalists in rehearsal.
My ideal student will have a reasonable command of the basics of piano and have a strong desire to improve their interpretive abilities, musical reasoning, and theoretical knowledge, so that they can be better informed, polished musicians and humans. All ages are welcome.
The structure of my lessons adapt to the needs of each individual student, and will generally involve some combination of performance practice, listening, history, theory, technical practice, and discussion.
My background includes 25+ years of experience with piano performance, collaborative piano, competing, and teaching individuals and chamber music ensembles. I have a Master of Music in Music Education from Boston University. I keep up with the latest scholarship on piano and music pedagogy from a technical, theoretical, and practical perspective, to ensure that my students are engaging with music in a holistic and effective manner that promotes lifelong engagement.
Please get in touch if you are interested in having an initial meeting (in person at a public location in Manhattan, or virtually) to discuss your experience and music goals, and we can tailor a lesson plan that fits your needs.
