Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a dedicated music teacher, who teaches students from five year old to adult. I graduated from Holy Names University with a Master's degree in Music. I started teaching right after I graduated and have been teaching music in San Francisco Bay Area for over twenty years. In addition to twenty years of public school teaching experience, I have also been teaching piano in private music schools and in my home studio. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am very encouraging and patient as a teacher, i understand how learning is when your trying to get over the hurdles. My compassion allows me to put myself in the students shoes, which makes me a better teacher. I like to encourage the student to listen to artists and incorporate musical philosophy to inspire the student to play and achieve and experiment. I think being curious is a musician's best friend, it creates the drive to want to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I tailor my lessons to the needs of the individual student. I use a combination of lesson books, solos and exercises to bring out the best performances my students can achieve at the time. I feel it is important for us to have fun while learning. I also use practice sheets as a motivational tool for children, so they can earn stickers and small prizes for putting the practice time in required to learn the skills needed to continue moving to the next level.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, composer and educator who takes great joy in teaching and sharing music with people of all ages. I've been deeply fortunate to have studied closely with multiple master musicians of various traditions. Perhaps the teacher who has had the deepest impact on my teaching methods is W.A. Mathieu, former arranger and bandmember of the Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton orchestras. I studied with Mathieu for three years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Conga Latin Percussion
I have been teaching music since 2001. I was the music program director at Mission Hills Middle School and the guitar and conga teacher at St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Oakland. I have also been a music instructor with Star Power Music, COVA, Art and Soul Music Studios, Hayward Music Center and ALMA. I teach all levels of guitar and congas, as well as beginning piano, voice and drum set lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
No musician is complete without an understanding of the piano; my own experience began at an early age, and I encourage any student to begin studying piano as soon as possible! I have studied with amazing pedagogues and scholars alike, and carry their teaching with me where ever I go. Although the bulk of my professional resume is made up with operatic experience, my roots lie in choral music, jazz, and musical theater. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium
I have taught private trombone lessons while I was attending University of North Texas and taught trombone and piano for another private music company. I make sure to keep active on my trombone by playing in as many bands as possible and encourage my students to do the same. I want to pass on the excitement that I have enjoyed on the trombone to my students and use that as encouragement to practice often to get that much better. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing material that is both inspiring and challenging allows for growth and motivation in the student. Repetition is key to retention. The student who practices 15 minutes a day will see more progress than the student who practices an hour once a week. This is due to the fact that more frequent playing allows for information retention at a much higher rate. That way, once it is time for a weekly lesson, not only will you play better, but you will feel better as well. Being able to see your own growth is the best motivator to continue to improve in your ability.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I feel guitarists face an interesting phenomenon. As guitar was the focal point in numerous bands of the past decades, many players took up all the space in the song. As guitarists grow in their ability, there is a tendency to play as fast, loud, and wild as possible. However, this is not conducive to a well balanced style. The hardest concept to understand and master for guitar, from my experience, is space. Intentionally playing in a sparse style, allowing the song to breathe, and being fully intentional with your note selection is a concept that takes many guitarists years to learn. However, once these concepts are understood, the ability of the guitarist increases exponentially.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in Music Industry Studies with a focus in Recording and Production. While this degree is focused primarily on studio work, the Hayes School of Music requires all students to try out on an instrument and participate in ensembles, theory classes, and lessons. Pursuing this degree specifically not only provided me with working knowledge for recording studios, but also for playing in studio sessions, interacting with professionals in the industry, legal and marketing knowledge, and skills both collaborative and communicative. This knowledge is not only incredibly helpful for musicians looking to create their music, but also for those looking to enter a competitive and complex industry.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
In high school, I was playing in a metal band with some friends. While our loose, dirty style was appropriate for live shows, it didn't transfer well to a studio setting when we went to record our debut EP. Due to this fact, I was tasked with writing and performing not only the guitar parts, but the bass and drums as well. After writing and recording all of those parts, I had a few more instruments under my belt. It wasn't until my junior year of college that I started learning jazz piano. This semester long class not only made piano much easier to understand, the visual layout of the theory on the keyboard allowed me to understand theory on a deeper level on all of my instruments.
