I played on a toy piano when I was very young, learning a bit of sight reading from my Mother, while listening to classical, jazz, and rock music. When I was 12, I learned guitar and later took private piano lessons from a prominent Philadelphia instructor. After playing in a rock band in high school, I went to college and received my degree in Physics. During this time, I joined a choir, and sang and played guitar in a contemporary vocal group where I became the lead guitarist and vocal arranger, and later became the director. I also played guitar in my church, as well as in a small folk group, performing music of the Beatles, Bacharach, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and many others. I also played or sung in a number of weddings during my college days.

Upon graduation, I moved to the DC area to work in the engineering field, while simultaneously pursuing my music ambition. I studied classical guitar at American University with a student of the great Andres Segovia, and also...

Hi. Thanks for checking out my profile!

I have studied the cello since the age of 6. At 16 I began to study privately with the Assistant Principle of the Hong Kong Philharmonic- Eric Sung. I began teaching privately myself at the age of 18. I was accepted into the Cleveland Institute of Music to Stephen Geber's studio, at the time Stephen Geber was the Principle cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra. After a year I transferred to UCLA to join Antonio Lysy's studio. Antonio Lysy is a well known soloist and chamber musician in Los Angeles, and has won several international competitions. I continued to teach privately throughout my own education, and then decided to move to the east coast where I could focus more on teaching rather than performance.

I am passionate about music, and fully committed to giving you a great learning experience!

I was a piano major at UNI and received a B.A. in English with a minor in music. I taught music for several years in Iowa and Pennsylvania. I have an M.A. in Reading, which has been invaluable in analyzing learning styles and teaching to each student's strengths. I have been teaching piano for over twenty five years and I'm also active in church music.

I am a college student studying trombone performance at West Virginia University. I have been playing the trombone for 7 years now and have participated in school band, honor bands, youth orchestras, chamber ensembles, and other such activities over the course of those years.

I teach in the Northern VA area over the summer and in Morgantown, WV during the school year.

I have played bluegrass banjo since I was 16 (I’m now looking at Social Security). I’ve been instructing for three years – since semi-retiring from my day job. I use various teaching methods and aids and have participated in training programs with the finest banjo players in the country, including Sonny Osborne, Bill Emerson, Tony Trischka, Ned Luberecki, Pete Wernick, Jim Mills, Bill Evans, Charlie Cushman and Alan Munde.

My banjo philosophy is that while we may aspire to play banjo like Earl Scruggs, it is not necessary to be at that level to enjoy playing bluegrass music. The organic simplicity of bluegrass songs, the repetition of components, and the strong melody lines makes entry level playing fun and rewarding and within the reach of anyone who is willing to try.

When bluegrass musicians are jamming together, using new skills, learning with and from each other, there's little chance they will give up playing music. I'd say they're hooked -- on...
