Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Music is my life. I actually enjoy teaching music and being creative with all ages and all kinds of people. Ive had the opportunity to play all over the world with jazz bands, Afro Cuban ensembles, top 40 bands as well as my own band which is a mix of original music that is jazz, r and b, soul, hip hop, reggae, latin and funk. I also direct a singing group in Richmond called Voices of Reason. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Wether the student is beginner or is more experienced, I take time to get to know the student and understand their goals with the piano and what they want to achieve out of piano lessons with me. I then give students a customized approach to reaching their goals while also ensuring the student is developing the proper skills and techniques. All the student needs is a binder and a pencil, and I create lesson plans and strategies to ensure the success of the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My teaching style is very adaptive to the abilities and interest of each student. I always try to keep my students motivated and positive because it is very important to be upbeat to learn music. From beginners to professional players, every musician needs passion to excel in the field and I encourage that by keeping my lessons very interactive and interesting. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I like to focus on the practical application and aural aspects of instrumental learning as well as the technical skills. I invest heavily in listening and understanding as opposed to the largely 'by rote' style I was subjected to growing up! Whilst I will follow a student/parents desired path regarding exams, I will provide a rounded musical learning and experience that will enable students to excel in all endeavours and be creative, as well as pass exams.

I am an active solo and ensemble pianist. I have worked with renowned soloists from Europe, America, Australia and Asia and I enjoy playing music with other musicians. I had my highly acclaimed solo recital series Watermark, a sad bird, and Imaginations at the National Recital Hall in Taipei. I have a master degree of piano performance from Manhattan school of music. Aside from performing, I am an experienced piano teacher. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginners, my method is simple. To be able to read music is important to me. Therefore, I teach them to read notes, count, hand and finger positions. For advanced students, I will focus on teaching them to interpret a piece rather than copying from others. I will motivate the students to feel the piece so that they can play it easily and genuinely. Above all, all my students have to be able to read music fluently. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
I have been teaching music for 8 years now. My experience includes wind ensembles, jazz orchestras, jazz combos, and chamber groups. I currently hold a position at Chabot Community as the Low Brass Instructor and Jazz Trombone Instructor. I teach all ages ranging from elementary school all the way up to the collegiate level. I currently work for notable organizations such as the Stanford Jazz Workshop where I mentor various junior high to high school aged students who are part of an all-star auction based ensemble.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The question of how to practice effectively has fascinated me for some time. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this question and have consulted with many great musicians about how they practice effectively. Below are a few principles that I follow in order to practice effectively.
1. Remember that effective practice is different for everyone: There is no one right way to practice. What is effective for one person may not be effective for somebody else. Part of growing as a musician is finding one's own unique style of practice.
2. There is a difference between playing and practicing: Practicing refers to deliberate and focused work at the piano in order to improve or learn something. Playing is freer and less constrained use of the instrument. Both practicing and playing are important, but most of your improvement comes from practicing. If you aren't attentive, much of the time you think you are spending practicing may actually be time spent playing. A helpful rule to follow is to practice BEFORE you play. Think of it like eating your dinner before having your dessert.
3. Work in small sections: When We are learning a piece, we often have the urge to play through the whole piece over and over. Usually it is far more effective to work on smaller sections at a time.
4. Record yourself practicing: This is one of absolute best things you can do to improve your practicing. When you record yourself, you will be more aware as you practice. And, when you listen back later, you will hear all kinds of things that you missed when you were practicing in the moment.
5. Slow down: The importance of slowing down cannot be understated. It is an almost universal common error for newer students to consistently try and play something faster than they are ready.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical music and in particular I am obsessed with the music of JS Bach. I find Bach's music to be refreshing because it is not at all repetitive. The structure of his music differs from most music written since. Rather than one melody supported by chords, Bach's music is usually multiple melodies, that imitate and interweave with each other. Classical music in general is very beautiful and fascinating to study as all Western music including jazz and pop is descendant from classical music.
