As your tutor, I bring you twenty years of experience as a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Rutgers University at Newark. I hold a Ph.D in philosophy from The European Graduate School, Switzerland, and an MA in psychology from The New School for Social Research in NYC. I have taught Clinical Psychology, Advanced Clinical, Child Counseling, Abnormal, Lifespan, Personality Theories, Psychology of Religion, Media Psychology, Critical Psychology, the History & Philosophy of Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, and Social Psychology. I have excellent faculty and student reviews for both in-person and online teaching. I am passionate about sharing my experience and knowledge with intellectually curious psychology and philosophy students.
I am also a professional trombonist, pianist, and vocalist. I studied undergraduate trombone with Per Brevig at The Mannes School of Music in NYC. I also studied graduate work at The Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium, with Ivan Meylemans. I have written and recorded many works and have concentrated on jazz and improvisation performance for the past decade. I was a trombonist with Carnegie Hall's New York Youth Symphony for two seasons and served as a trombonist on the Long Island Youth Orchestra's 1995 World Tour. I was the principal trombonist for the Orquesta Filarmonica de Lima, Peru in 1996. I currently perform with several jazz groups and actively record new music.
I specialize in teaching older adults how to play the piano for pleasure. I also work with trombonists of all ages and levels to prepare for college auditions. I am willing to teach self-motivated and dedicated children beginner piano. I offer musicianship studies for all instruments, including solfeggio, ear training, theory, analysis, and interpretation. I have had several students accepted into college music programs.
If you are an intellectually curious and dedicated student looking for a passionate, enthusiastic, seasoned professional, I can help you realize your potential.
