From there, we can build upon these foundations and explore more advanced concepts and techniques. I believe it is important to not only teach the technical aspect of drumming, but also the musicality and artistry that go into creating drum beats and rhythms. I encourage my students to listen to a wide range of music and try to incorporate different styles and influences into their playing. One of the things I love most about teaching drums is seeing my students progress and discover their own unique voice as drummers. Read More

I'm a very optimistic person. I like to inspire my students, and watch them have fun and grow! Lessons should be a fun thing to look forward to. As a kid, I had many lessons and teachers that I did not enjoy going to, and I don't want that to be the case for my lessons. Learning a new musical skill is fun, and really fulfilling, and I want my students to feel that way when they work with me. Read More

Every student learns at a different pace and many students learn differently. Music is an aural art form and I've found that many younger students haven't always heard a lot of music. I like to incorporate listening and appreciation in those cases. I like to encourage creativity and share ideas that show the student they can create music of their own. I like to see the student enjoy what they are doing and I like to point out their growth, especially when they feel frustrated. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Thank you for taking the time to read this I look forward to working with you. Read More

I am a New York City based songwriter, artist, arranger, producer, and educator, most often occupying the space between R&B and Jazz. My music is influenced by artists ranging from Stevie Wonder to Erykah Badu to John Coltrane. I went to Boston in 2015 to study Musical Theatre at the Boston Conservatory. There, I began songwriting and discovered a new passion leading me to change course in my education and continue my studies at Berklee College of Music in 2017. Read More

I have always felt an innate passion for music. From a young age, you could be sure to find me by my family's upright piano - either plunking pretend melodies on its keys or hiding in the magical world I thought existed behind it. Soon, I joined every performing and competitive ensemble I could. Each new form of music and expression was wonderful to me. Singing, theater, mallet percussion, vibraphone, saxophone, jazz, learning different musical forms, I couldn't get enough! Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would like to be a psychologist, or a music therapist. I have always been very fascinated in the human minds, and people's words, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, actions etc. always get me thinking about the meaning and mechanism behind them. Further education in psychology is still a dream of mine, and I wish to become a music therapist one day in the future (alongside my career in music performance and education) to combine my knowledge in music, performance, education, and the yet to be explored therapeutic works.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For the recorder: good sound, and good technique. Many people see recorder as an easy and unserious instrument. It is easy to produce a sound on the recorder, but it is extremely hard and takes a lot of dedication to produce a good sound and clean technique (finger technique, articulations etc.). So, I think the hardest thing to master on the recorder is not merely to make sounds, but to make beautiful and clean sounds.
For the piano: precision, and expression. Advanced piano repertoires involves various methods and techniques, and to get them all together precisely takes many hours and years of practice. On top of the extremely tough precisions to handle, piano works have some of the most expressive styles with two hands representing so many different voices.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Yes, Bachelor of music in performance. I wanted to achieve the highest excellency in my instrumental playing, and I believe a degree in performance would have the highest standard for performance in both entry requirement, assessment requirement, and teaching standard. I also understood that a degree in performance also have heavy emphasis in musicology and educational out reach projects with the opportunity to take classes in composition, so I thought an education in performance would be the most well rounded choice.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my ensemble works with various chamber music groups I've worked with and continue to work with. I enjoy playing solo on stage, but playing with a group of musicians, making music collectively, combining different musical ideas into a final expression is something very magical for me. The love for chamber music is also a big reason why I chose to join a historical performance department in Europe, where the medieval style of musicianship is reenacted.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I developed a love for Baroque music when I was in high school, and I succeeded in several early music recorder competitions. With a combination of passion and rewards, I continued to pursue a very special major in the recorder under the historical performance department in the Royal Academy of Music, London.
