Kiroulos Sidra's Profile

Background:

Hello, my name is Kiroulos Sidra. I’m a passionate music educator and performer based in Staten Island, New York. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the joy of teaching flute, clarinet, saxophone, piano, guitar, and violin to students of all ages and skill levels. My musical journey has led me to direct ensembles and choirs, as well as found the Academy of St. Cecilia, where I focus on nurturing both technical skills and a deep love for music in church and community settings. As a teacher, I believe every student learns differently. That’s why I adapt each lesson to individual goals—whether you’re discovering your very first notes, polishing your tone, or preparing for a performance. My approach combines strong technical foundations like breath control, finger technique, and theory with the joy of self-expression and artistry. Teaching reminds me daily why I fell in love with music in the first place: its power to connect, inspire, and transform. Whether online or in person, I’m dedicated to helping each student grow with confidence and find their own voice through music.
