About Me

I am a pianist, singer, and general music educator based in Brooklyn, NY.

In July 2021, I worked as the music director for a one-month production of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" at Arlington Children's Theatre in the Greater Boston Area. This involved conducting rehearsals and private coachings, recording tracks, and performing in the show.

I have years of experience teaching students of all ages both privately and in the classroom. In addition to teaching high school courses in piano, choral arts, and general theory, I have taught general music from Kindergarten to fifth grade as well as conducted choir rehearsals at public and charter schools. Currently, I am teaching private lessons for all ages at the award-winning Anahid Syourapian Piano Studio.

Education

Having graduated summa cum laude in 2017 with a degree in MusicTeacher Education from West Chester University of Pennsylvania (WCU), I have studied various methods and approaches to illustrating musical concepts including music theory, music history, ear training, and applied lessons in voice and all major instruments.

Experience / Qualifications

During my time at WCU, I performed in multiple choirs and small ensembles both affiliated and unaffiliated with the school. In university choirs, I was often featured as a soloist and was the tenor section leader in my final year. Additionally, I conducted and directed choir rehearsals and performances at the University Church. Presently, I continue to gig as a performer and director because I believe a good music teacher must keep their performance skills sharp in order to educate effectively.

I work with students of all ages -- children and adults -- at the beginner to intermediate level. I have also worked with students with special needs, including visual impairments, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD.

I'm a professional harpist who graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in Music with extensive teaching experience in the United States and Belgium. I am offering harp and music theory lessons to students of all backgrounds, levels, and ages.

I am currently in the process of completing my Doctor of Musical Arts at the CUNY Graduate Center. I hope to transfer the skills and knowledge I have obtained from working with some of the most renowned teachers to my own students.

I am a compassionate and enthusiastic teacher dedicated to helping my students reach for the stars! One of my defining characteristics is my genuine interest in the longterm happiness and progression of my students. I am committed to providing students with a safe and positive environment where they feel supported throughout their musical journeys. I absolutely love finding ways in which I can personalize my lessons to best fit each student. Music education is not one size fits all and I want to honor the different ways students learn. I gain so much happiness knowing that my lessons fit the needs of my students.

I am dedicated to nurturing a love for music in each student. I aim to positively enhance the student's strength, dexterity, and technique while building a lasting interest in music. In early lessons, I focus on developing an understanding of the student's goals and personal interests. I guide students to create sustainable practice routines, reinforcing the importance of discipline, responsibility and hard work. I emphasize building a strong foundation early on so that future musical progress is always supported by a strong core of musical knowledge. Typical lessons involve scales, sight reading, and a piece that the student chooses.

My goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician.

I teach violin and viola lessons with the aim of improving technique, musicality, and interest in the instrument. Learning a string instrument can be challenging, but I believe it is also one of the most rewarding endeavors you can undertake.

I focus on sound production and facility of the instrument, and try to make sure that every student is learning repertoire that helps them and interests them.

I offer lessons in guitar/bass, piano/keyboard (classical/experimental/pop/jazz), composition/songwriting, production/recording (DAWs, mixing, editing etc). No matter what level we're on, as musicians and artists we're all part of a wonderful and strange ongoing human project, and I believe that it's my duty to share the knowledge and skills that I've accumulated throughout the course of my life and career.

Over the years, my work has branched out in many different stylistic directions but I am firmly rooted in avant-garde/classical music. I hold two degrees in composition: a Master of Music '11 from the Yale School of Music where I also taught undergraduate lessons in composition; and a BA in Music Composition from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden ('09). I've written large scale works for orchestra, chamber pieces, solo music for a variety of instruments, works with multichannel electronics, and works for theater and dance. For those interested, my recorded work is easily accessible online on a variety of labels and my scores are available from Schott Music New York.

As a pianist, I began formal training at age 6 and worked through much of the classical repertoire before deciding to focus fulltime on composition. I am also an accomplished studio musician, improviser (jazz/free/experimental), and a member of several groups/ensembles.

A firm believer in the use of intuition as a primary tool in music making of all kinds, I would like our lessons to be shaped according to your needs and interests. No matter what level you are on, my goal will always be to offer you exactly what you need at each given step. I treat each student as a unique collaborative effort.

Apart from technical and aesthetic approaches, it is usually very difficult and takes a long time to find one's 'voice' as a performer, writer or producer; this is inevitable except in rare cases, and I will endeavour to teach you to trust in your own abilities, overcome insecurities and doubts, and connect your artistic practice with a more unified mindset that goes beyond imagined technical and stylistic limitations and aesthetic policing. The main point is to eradicate unnecessary obstacles to your creativity and learn to trust your intuition and choices.

What makes a good song? This is exactly what we are going to find out. Exploring many of same techniques that are dealt with during our Composition Lessons, but in a broader more macro way. These lessons are geared to bring out your inner storyteller. By analyzing the great songs of the past and learning what makes them so effective, students will be able to internalize those tricks and techniques and add them to their own musician's toolbox. These tools will prove to be invaluable not only in crafting and shaping their musical stories, but also in overcoming writer's block. This program will ultimately help your songs reach their full potential and give you the ability to reach people on a deeper, more profound emotional level.

In addition, I can incorporate music theory and ear training into our sessions to strengthen your overall musicianship. Together, we’ll explore healthy vocal habits, interpretation, and performance skills to make you a confident, expressive singer.
