Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I set goals and targets for my students every lesson, and design assessments to determine wether they have met those goals and what they need further to succeed. At the end of each lesson, I give the student my notes for things to remember as they continue practicing throughout the week. I design my plans to be flexible with the students goal and pace, but also designed to ensure the student is getting their necessary practice time and musical training each and every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginners I will start with a reputable system of books, such as Hal Leonard or Alfred's, supplemented by my own worksheets and song selections that are relevant to the student. For more advanced students I will use my own open method, finding songs that the student is eager to play and reinforcing the theory and techniques that will enable the student to advance quickly.

I've loved playing piano since I was 4 years old, and I love to share music with others. I have a classical background, and a particular interest in contemporary music and extended techniques. I studied and performed piano at Colorado College, and as a graduate student at Mills College. I've had the opportunity to tour the world with the Bowed Piano Ensemble, an ensemble that focuses on extended piano techniques. Read More

I tailor each lesson to the unique self and stage of musical development of the student and actively create custom lesson plans and materials to best suit their progress and musical curiousities. Improvisation and rhythm games, music theory essentials, and instrumental basics are core components of my teaching practice. Read More

My son and students are prolific performers and have been selected for leading roles. They have been awarded scholarships and honors in the performing arts field, and in general academia subjects. I published a thesis on the subject of how music helps with learning, mood and mind/body healing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began taking piano lessons when I was about four years old and voice lessons when I was seven. I was involved in Certificate of Merit for voice and for piano. I studied music at UC Santa Cruz and graduated in 2012. I was exposed to many contemporary pieces and had a wonderful experience in a small but strong department. I have continued singing since graduating and love sharing music and the vocal technique I learned in my undergrad. 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.
