Studio:
My piano studio is geared towards serious students who want to study piano professionally. Even though I do not expect everyone to become a professional musician, I teach all of my students with the idea of professionalism in mind. I encourage every student to enter yearly auditions, which are sponsored by New Jersey Music Teachers Association. I also support the idea that students should participate in various piano competitions.
My more advanced students (regardless of age) are invited to participate in the International Summer Music Program – Festival “Musica in Laguna” (www.almc.it). At this Festival, the students have numerous performance opportunities and they also learn how to perform with an orchestra.
My studio requirements are that each student must take a minimum of 1 hour per week. This could be broken down as follows:
2 times per week – 30 minute lessons
1 time per week – 1 hour lesson
Some students choose to come 2 times per week for 45 minute lessons.
During the regular school year (September – June), lessons are regularly scheduled. Since in July & August I travel to Italy where I teach and then direct a festival in up-state New York, I am not as readily available for regular lessons. However, if arrangements are made in advance, I have limited availability.
