Are you...

• an adult who wants to begin piano lessons, or review/refresh your childhood piano studies?
• looking for someone with advanced technique, artistry, professional performing experience, and a studio with a grand piano, who can prepare your teen-ager for piano competitions and college auditions?
• a parent seeking a first instructor who understands child development and is experienced in presenting music fundamentals, for your beginning pianist?
• seeking an instructor with a proven track record at preventing middle school students from quitting piano altogether?
• trying to find a voice teacher who is willing to teach children or an older beginner, and/or voice lessons in Contemporary Commercial Music (music that is not classical)?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, I can help you reach your goals.  

I offer:

• The same quality of equipment and instruction that you would find in a music school, with flexibility that only an independent music teacher can offer.
• A convenient Brooklyn location in Boerum Hill/Cobble Hill right off of Smith Street. Easy walking distance from Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, and Brooklyn Heights. For students currently enrolled in the Brooklyn Youth Chorus Academy, you can also sign up there for lessons with me in piano or voice.
• Beginners enjoy the supportive atmosphere and receive a solid technical and artistic foundation, while advanced students are challenged and motivated, enjoying performance opportunities and competitions.
• A calm, focused environment in a sunny, well-lit room with a grand piano in excellent condition.
• Commitment to ongoing professional development through involvement in MTNA (Music Teachers National Association), NYSMTA (New York State Music Teachers Association), NYSTA (New York Singing Teachers Association), and the Contemporary Commercial Music Vocal Pedagogy Institute at Shenandoah Conservatory in Virginia.
• over 15 years of vocal coaching, accompanying, and piano teaching experience.
• Level III Certification in Somatic Voicework® The LoVetri Method.
