I love helping people find their own truth through music. I’ve taught for more than 20 years, working with students ages 5 to 75 and what I love most about teaching is guiding people discover and unleash their full expressive potential.
My students are working on repertoire ranging from Takemitsu, Ginastera, Ravel, Avni, Schubert and Prokofiev. They have been accepted to music programs at the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music at Tel-Aviv University and the elite Thelma-Yelin High School for the Performing Arts.
In my studios in New Jersey and Tel Aviv, I work with students who are preparing for competitive college and conservatory auditions, undergrad music majors refining their proficiency, and children discovering the world of music for the first time, as well as adult musicians deepening their artistry. My goal is for every student to finish each lesson more confident and capable than when they arrived.
In lessons we use imaginative exercises, storytelling, and exploration of the world of each composer to help students connect the music they play with their own life experiences, so they can communicate more through their performances. Together we focus on effective practice habits, creative problem-solving, ease of memorization, and confident stage presence. I place a special emphasis on developing mental focus, stress management, and mindset tools that support excellence both in music and in life.
My performance credits include concerts at Carnegie hall in NYC, Zimmerli museum in NJ, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Heichal Hatarbut and Studio Annette in TA. I have performed with Barrocade ensemble, Baroque orchestra and the Israeli Vocal Ensemble. I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Piano Performance from Rutgers University in NJ.
