Introduction

I offer private piano and voice lessons in Fishhawk, Florida in the comfort of your own home. I am a highly experienced teacher for all age ranges and levels of experience. Please note that I personally teach all lessons IN PERSON as this is necessary to get the highest quality result possible. As a side note, voice lessons over the Internet are essentially impossible because of the audio delay. Moreover, there are many technical details that simply cannot be addressed over the Internet, such as resonance, voice placement, proper breathing, posture, etc. From the results I have seen, Internet voice lessons are a waste of your time and money and I would recommend you avoid them. With encouragement and support, I help students achieve their musical goals one step at a time. By creating an environment that gives positive affirmation to a child's natural curiosity, a child's imagination is ignited. My goal as a voice and piano teacher is to provide the tools to help each student realize their highest potential. Very quickly, my students develop tremendous confidence in their abilities and are thrilled to continue growing as pianists and singers. My method is to build a strong foundation while keeping lessons fun and engaging. At the same time, I tailor-make lessons so that students are free to explore any genre of music they desire. It is important for students to enjoy lessons so that they are excited to practice what they have learned! If you or your child has had a negative experience with a different teacher, please understand that there are many teachers who are quite knowledgeable yet lack the patience, creativity, and enthusiasm that I incorporate into my teaching. It is not uncommon for me to have a student come to me after having tried lessons with two or more other teachers before choosing my studio. My promise to you is to offer the highest level of instruction possible at every lesson. For me, this is not my job or my career- it's my calling. I feel lucky to be a part of my students' musical training and am dedicated to their success. Additionally, my students are free to call me at any time if they have any questions or need additional guidance between lessons.

My two daughters started piano lessons with Aslan when they were 7 and 11. Soon after, they started having voice lessons with him as well. I am absolutely amazed at how much progress they have made! My younger daughter has decided to major in Applied Piano (at 10!) and my older daughter is always chosen to sing all the solos in school. I am so proud of them both and give him my highest recommendation! He is the best kept secret in music!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Tuition for lessons is $200 per month, which reserves one weekly lesson for your child. This is an annualized fee, which means you are paying for each year of piano lessons in monthly installments. This includes the understanding that the number of lessons you have will vary depending on the calendar, holidays, etc. I will teach every day except observed national holidays and public school’s Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks and a one-week vacation during the summer. Throughout the year, you will average four lessons per month. Please note that I do not hold lesson times for students who take a summer break, as teaching is my full-time job. Students who take a break are essentially moved to my waiting list for the fall. However, if a student chooses to take a break for the summer, they may elect to continue to pay tuition to hold their spot. Others take the chance that their lesson time will be filled during the summer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I grew up in a performing arts family and began studying piano and close up magic at an early age. At 14, I began my formal voice training with William Seale at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio. By 20, I was studying with renowned voice teacher Andrew White (teacher of Metropolitan Opera legend Sherill Milnes). Following, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Music Education with a minor in Public Speaking in 1998. During my undergraduate years, I won several singing competitions and sang with the Cincinnati Opera in productions of Otello, The Flying Dutchman, and Rigoletto. I graduated with highest honors and received a scholarship to attend the University of Cincinnati College of Law. Before earning my Juris Doctor in 2001, I taught piano and voice for over five years, helping prepare students for careers in opera and musical theater. Upon finishing law school, I practiced law for eight years, specializing in Federal Securities, real estate, and contract litigation. In 2010, I returned to my creative roots and am thrilled to have my own music studio! I find great joy in witnessing those moments of breakthrough, encouraging students through challenges and equipping them with the tools needed to reach their full potential.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I would tell potential customers to make sure they see videos of a teacher's students actually performing! I'm amazed that someone would hire a teacher without this type of due diligence. Ask for proof, not promises!
