Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience dates back to when I was in middle school, and I taught my neighbor's kids. Since then, I have had several piano students. I have also worked for a school district as a Substitute Teacher where I had the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects and work with a multitude of students. I would like to expand on my private teaching experience, as teaching and playing piano have always come naturally to me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I teach from 4 years old to adults, novice to advanced levels. My lessons are totally personalized to meet each student's desire, needs and capability. The pace of the lessons should be adjusted for each student. I review and access each student's understanding and progress in each lesson, and design a personalized assignment and lesson plan for the next lesson. Acknowledging accomplishment makes the student confidence and fuel the student's desire to progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I am a patient and encouraging instructor who enjoys sharing music with people and working with students to teach music. I started my piano lesson at age of seven and cello at age of nine. I got my bachelor's degree from National Taiwan Normal University where the country I am originally from and my master's degree from Northern Illinois University. As a cellist, I regularly play in several orchestras around DFW area such as Richardson Symphony Orchestra, Irving Symphony Orchestra, and Plano Symphony Orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My Grandmother inspired me to play piano. My church taught me to sing. In high school I was involved in band and choir and was selected to tour Europe with a college group. To this day I work with foreign exchange students. In college I continued my musical studies although I majored in Public Relations. This allowed me me to take classes such as oral interpretation and work in radio/TV which enhanced my performing skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I'm a dedicated music educator that wants to help students bring out their full potential on their instrument. In 2018, I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Music Education. While at Baylor, I was a member of the trombone studio under Brent Phillips. I played in all the instrumental ensembles avaliable to play in as a trombonist. I also studied piano as my secondary instrument in college. Because of playing musical instruments, I have had the opportunity to play in numerous of band and orchestra concerts, marching shows, and sporting events. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, when a child is ready, they will let you know. In as many ways as they can think of. And sometimes as loudly as possible... That being said, there are occasionally those talented students that are hidden beneath a shy and mild-mannered exterior that may not exude the zeal of others. In these cases, parents should look for three key factors: 1. Physical size/development of the child: I have struggled watching too many children become frustrated with music too early because their hands are too small to reach a note, or they cannot see the music from their bench, or their mouthpiece should be called a face piece. Kids grow fast their first 10 years, so even holding off a few months for a growth spurt can make the difference between frustration and tears and a lifelong love of music. 2. Genuine, unprompted interest: if you often find your child seated at the piano staring into its guts trying to figure out how it all works, or singing from morning to night, or tapping rhythmically, even if it’s on the back of your seat in the car and potentially less than relaxing for you, these are all signs the student has a real interest in music. 3. A level of maturity that allows them to practice some every day, even if they don’t “feel like it.” We all have days when we feel like we’d rather sleep, or watch television, or read in a hammock than carry on our obligations, but knowing we must take care of business before pleasure is another sign that the student is on the right track for music lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice more than once per day, but not for a long amount of time — 10 to 15 minutes 3-4 times a day. It is important that you focus for this short amount of time, as the old adage ‘practice makes percect’ Is only true when it’s ‘PERFECT practice’. This will be 30-60 minutes of practicing that will not leave you exhausted, will help your brain learn your new skill faster, and is much easier to fit into tight schedules. This, combined with a healthy lifestyle and most importantly — rest and sleep — will kickstart your abilities faster than you had imagined.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
What do you mean if I weren’t a musician? Is that an option? In actuality, I quite enjoyed math and science even into my early college years, excelling in chemistry and physics, and taking a real love of calculus and higher maths. If I had not chosen music, it would have been engineering in some capacity, I imagine, if not that, then perhaps an actor. Or professional yo-yo artist. Or a dive instructor. Or a boat captain on a luxury yacht. Or an audiobook producer. Or maybe an astronaut. Or an archaeologist. Or an astronaut-archaeologist!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master in singing is so simple, and we all do it every day, but many of us incorrectly from years of bad habits and societal dampening that causes us to do even the most basic thing necessary for our survival incorrectly.... breathing. Mastering breath control is something that is a life long endeavor anytime after infancy — you’ll notice children have no problems being heard when they want, even with their small instruments and lung capacities. The only reason we as adults cannot squeal like children anymore is our own inhibitions we place on ourself through “manners” and “inside voices” and even “chewing with your mouth shut”. These societal norms are actually damaging to the basal functions of our breath support and control. Learning to set aside these inhibitions and breathe like a kid again will benefit anyone the most, even if they only make small inroads into the recovery of the skill.
