Instruments: Piano
I am good at combine technique and music performance together to teach students. Because I believe that any technique are serving for music, when I teach student, I will tell and teach them why we use this technique to play this music section. For beginner, I will teach them how to build up strong finger and how to complete relax which is very important. These two factors are dependant on each other. Read More

I like to teach and talk about the songs and styles that were taught to me by my father when I was just getting in to music and guitar. The first thing I remember learning were "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, which is actually simpler than most people would expect. The basic standards of guitar were taught to me when I was first learning, and that's what excites me to teach to the next generation of guitarists. Read More

For piano students I highly recommend the Alfreds books for beginners. After you have some background we can work with the music of your choice, classical, jazz, pop, RnB etc. Some of my specialties include teaching people how to turn chord charts into music, how to improvise and how to use music theory to improve your understanding of music. For guitar I do not use any books as I find most guitar method books to be very old fashioned and not inviting to the student. Read More

For example, Monday the student will be introduce to a new piece of music. As they look at the music they may feel that it is impossible to learned the by the end of the week. But I explain to them that when a person grow they don't physically see themselves growing overtime it just happens. One has to sleep, eat, etc before the body grows. Same in music one has to practice daily (everyday) before you see results. Read More

He made it an enjoyable and fun experience for me and I desire to do the same for any student I get the privilege to teach. I love exploring the untapped potential in my students, celebrating with them when they understand a new concept or learn a new skill on their instrument. One of my favorite things is watching my students grow as musicians over the time I get to teach them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I draw from a wide range of supportive materials and repertoire. I develop each students lesson plans based on their aspirations or goals and each plan is tailored to meet them where they're at in their musical journey. I develp instructions and plans that keep their goals in mind while making sure they receive a full education during the lesson. This includes discussion of techniques and habits the lend themselves to healthy and productive growth for a musician. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The ability to practice affectively takes time.
For the beginning student it may, at times, feel tedious.
My job it to break the materials apart into workable pieces for the beginning student.
This means creating reasonable practice assignments based on how a student is accessed.
For a beginning student I might expect 15 to 25 minutes 5 days a week.
In a few weeks this should give us some idea how students use their practice time and how quickly they might progress.
The riddle to solve is how to keep it interesting and fun for a student without short changing their true ability or musical aptitude.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
At times you don't know. Of course if a child expresses interest or excitement over some musical activity or event it might be obvious that it's time. However, for many families it is believed that music should be a part of a child's education curriculum and music will be approached as any other aspect of their academic development takes place. In this case, when the study of music becomes a non-negotiable part of a child's education you can only hope you find a teacher who can make it fun while at the same time not compromising on the actual study of music.
When will I start to see results?
If all goes well you should see results in the first few moments. Learning to play the piano and the language of music is like many other things. Learning is cumulative. As soon as a beginning student understands the layout of the keyboard, the names of the keys, how the musical staves work as well as simple rudimentary rhythm notation they are able to play simple tunes as well as understand what they are doing.
Also, like many other activities that require effort and an investment in time, music is one of those things where you get out of it what you put into it.
Once a beginning student is able to play a familiar tune they become motivated to spend more time at it, they discover they are better able to focus and develop the discipline necessary at a rate that may surprise everyone. The student included.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a number of inspirational teachers.
When I went to my first teacher I already had a good understanding of the language of music .. the notation etc. and was able to play intermediate pieces.
When I told her I wanted to play Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, which I was not at all ready to play, she said "Let's see what we need to do to get there.".
That was the beginning of an entire education in technique
Once I started college I had a number of other wonderful teachers both for piano as well as in theory, counterpoint and composition.
It was in college that I learned that most good teachers have a lot to offer a motivated student. There is a point where it is up to the student to glean as much as they are able to that particular teacher. And I was hungry enough to learn a lot.
