Instruments: Piano
I develop a lesson plan before every lesson and set realistic goals for each of my students. I spend the first couple of lessons assessing what kind of learner a new student is, that way I can cater more closely to their learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching style is best referred to as a facilitator. Essentially, I promote self-learning, helping students develop critical thinking skills and retain knowledge that leads to self-actualization. I prefer to guide students by letting them think for themselves, pointing out when mistakes are made but also encouraging them to learn and grow from them. The draw back from this is that it can be a bit time consuming, but I feel that at the end of the day, this helps a student so that eventually they will be able to learn by themselves without a teacher.

Instruments: Piano Organ
I received my formal training in music at the University of New Hampshire, having earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Theory and Composition and a Master of Science degree in Music Education. Most of my career in music education was spent in the classroom. I was very passionate about discovering and meeting the needs of my students, always striving to teach the whole person. I considered myself a talent scout, never missing an opportunity to encourage any glimmer of talent at the piano that I saw waiting to blossom. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano since 2010. I started teaching part-time on weekends at the best music academy in Thailand called "KPN Music Academy" having more than 50 branches nationwide. After I graduated from law school in Thailand, I started teaching 2 branches of KPN and I also provided private lessons to students at home. Overall, I taught over 30 kids and among them achieved successful results from Trinity College London Piano Examination (at least pass with merits). Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Acoustic Guitar
In the first lesson, I like to find out about my student's goals. Regular lessons usually consist of reviewing exercises, etudes, and songs that were assigned from the previous lesson and then making adjustments as needed. The goal is to develop technique as well as overall musicianship so that every piece of music is played or sung well and beautifully. I like to follow an outline of skills basic to the instrument and to making good music but often adjust lessons based on the student's ability and personal goals, Read More

As a lover of multiple genres of music, I aim to improve technique, versatility, and musicianship with my teaching. I recently graduated Cum Laude from the Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Music Business. During my time in school, I performed throughout the Boston area at venues such as the Middle East and the Berklee Performance Center. After graduating, I was able to tour through parts of New England and perform at venues ranging from small night clubs to large festivals, including the Mud Run Rock Gods Tribute Festival in Howland, Maine.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision I wish I would have made sooner. Being a musician isn't just a career, but a full on life style. The sooner you commit to this life style the more fully you can experience it. Becoming a performance level musician takes time and commitment unlike anything else. I was never encouraged to be a musician because my family was not musical and did not understand the prospect of playing or teaching music as a profession outside of recording hit singles and touring stadiums. It took me well into adulthood to realize that there are other and more realistic ways to make a living through music such as teaching, performing in a small touring band, or a successful local band, and possibly working as a session musician in a studio, jazz, classical, or wedding ensemble.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Coincidentally enough if I was not playing and teaching music I think I would want to be a school teacher instead. I really do love sharing my knowledge with curious individuals and working one on one with students to see them develop. I've always been very interested in history and reading especially so it would equally be a joy to share these interests with thirsty minds as well. Some times I even consider going back to school to become a teacher for a full time day job where I would still have nights, weekends, and summers off to focus on my art.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Since I started I've always played some kind of rock music. First classic and alternative rock and now primarily a new style people call "jam". Jam music roots from 60s psychedelic rock especially the Grateful Dead and Alman Brothers Band, but also such popular acts as Pink Floyd, Big Brother and The Holding Company, and Jimi Hendrix as well as more contemporary and eclectic influences such as electronic, hip hop, funk, world, and jazz. The main feature of "jam" music is it's incorporation of improv and fluid transitions between pieces and styles to create a unique musical mosaic each performance. I prefer this style because it incorporates a wide range of influences from other styles of music I like while expressing genuine emotion in the moment more passionately then other current genres.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I've been saying for years now I want to do a cover of Pink Floyd's "Shine on you Crazy Diamonds". Pink Floyd have always been a major influence on my playing and thinking since my father first introduced them to me as his favorite band when I was a child. Since then this has probably become my favorite piece of theirs. It's a multi-movement psychedelic rock symphony starting from the depths of the void and taking listeners on an other worldly sonic journey through time and space guided by the piercing vocality of David Gilmore's guitar tone. The piece is incredibly cinematic in a sense and truly the peak of what I believe modern music is cable of.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to start by warming up, which really every player should. My routine includes scale exercises to practice fretting, intervals, finger dexterity, and reach as well as a variety of diatonic chord and strumming exercises to practice rhythm in different time signatures and styles including basic funk, reggae, and jazz patterns. Next I'll often move on to scale and solo work by practicing with TABs, recordings, and new scale charts. Finally I move on to song work and improv developing original material and solo ideas for my band or else practice on nights it is scheduled.
