Private Mentorship & Performance Coaching

For over 15 years, I have provided structured, one-on-one mentorship for dedicated musicians on the Upper West Side in New York City. My studio is designed for ambitious students who want to develop a masterful technical foundation, command the stage, and prepare for the highest levels of performance.

1. Conservatory & College-Track High School Students

My private students have been accepted to Harvard, Brown, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Princeton, Yale, Manhattan School of Music, and the Eastman School of Music.

2. Pre-College & Specialized High School Students

My private students have been accepted to LaGuardia High School, Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, The Special Music School, Juilliard Pre-College, Mannes Pre-College, Manhattan School of Music Pre-College, and the Boston University Tanglewood Institute.

3. Dedicated Adult Students

For adults committed to serious, high-level musical study. Whether you are building a technical foundation or returning to an instrument after years away, my instruction focuses on nuturing development and building a deep musical literacy. My adult students have gone on to join New York community ensembles, compose original works, and achieve significant breakthroughs in their personal artistry.
