Description:

Tulane University offers MFA programs in both Interdisciplinary Dance Performance and Piano Performance. As a teacher, I am grateful for my wonderful and diverse group of students who continue to inspire me daily. I cater to students of all ages and skill levels, including children as young as 5 years old and gifted professionals.

Apart from being a performer, I am an expert in pedagogy, meaning I can teach using various methods. I aim to make every lesson enjoyable and tailored to each individual student's interests and abilities.

My Master's thesis has given me a unique perspective on the connection between sound and movement, which is incorporated into my teachings. By breaking down piano technique into simpler movements, students can enhance their learning and musical expression. I am proud to have received my MFA in Piano Performance from Faina Lushtak, a world-renowned concert and recording artist. I also have a breadth of training in ballet, including School of American Ballet, NYC Ballet, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, and Delta Festival Ballet. In all, I am seeking talented, motivated, and hard-working students to join me in pursuing an exceptional learning experience.

Although I've only worked with Sean twice, I have to say that he's a fantastic instructor. He has a talent for staying organized and communicating effectively. Plus, he seems to understand the importance of balancing theory and technique with improvisation and creativity. Overall, I feel entirely at ease under his tutelage.

Sean is an exceptional ballet private teacher, possessing professionalism, warmth, knowledge, kindness, and competence. Though I could extol his virtues indefinitely, let me encourage you to hire him for his balanced approach to teaching – complementary and instructive, firm yet flexible. My experience with him has brought me immense joy and a reinvigorated passion for ballet. As a dancer and instructor, Sean excels in both roles, marking him as a particularly rare find. I wholeheartedly rate him A++.

Sean's teachings were greatly valued by my daughter, as she benefitted tremendously from them. Her previous instructors had left her feeling unmotivated and inclined to skip classes, however, Sean's lessons instilled in her an enthusiasm towards music and she never missed a session, practicing regularly at home too! Witnessing her newfound love for music infused me with immense joy and pride. With Sean's guidance, my daughter not only increased her practice hours but also showed remarkable progress. She found Sean's explanations to be lucid and easy to comprehend. A friend had recommended we take her to him, and I am truly grateful we did. Thank you, Sean!
