Instruments: Piano
Having many years of experience in the music school administration, I tailor my lessons to the needs of the individual student. I help students reach their goals by giving them all of the tools that they need to understand the music.I use a combination of lesson books, anddevelop individualized lesson plans for each piano student. I think it is very important to have fun while learning. I like to move to the next level without wasting time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
Depending on my student's age and skill level I usually have them begin with Suzuki books, Essential Elements books, or a combination of the two. As students advance I often incorporate etudes and/or exercises by Lee, Dotzauer, Galamian, Mooney, Sevcik, Duport, and Popper. While ear training is an essential skill that I teach to all of my students, the younger a student is the more I'll have them "play by ear" instead of reading sheet music. Read More

I am a Nationally Certified Piano Teacher with decades of teaching experience. I provide personalized lessons to meet each student's unique musical desire and goals.

I graduated from Kunitachi Music College, one of the top conservatories in Japan, majoring piano performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I'm a passionate instructor who loves music and loves to share the knowledge and feelings of music. I started to learn how to play piano with my mom, a soprano singer and a piano professor in college since I was 3 years oldIn 2011, I graduated from Communication University of China in Beijing and I worked for 1 year in a Chinese Entertainment company called CN Live. I was a music editor and music event creator back than. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I approach each student knowing that every student is unique and so is their learning style. While the information that is delivered to each student remains the same, the manner in which I teach each student varies widely. I try to foster the best student-teacher relationship possible in order to gain the confidence and trust of both the student and their families. I also have much experience teaching students with unique characteristics such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Every person has different strengths, weaknesses, motivators, and goals. I like to keep all of these things in mind before I start designing a lesson plan for each person. I like to make sure that I am teaching both the ear to listen and the eye to read, so I make sure I can improve the development of both by providing effective sight=reading and aural exercises in every lesson.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More
Instruments: Flute
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me typically consists of a one-hour warm-up, where I begin with long tones and vibrato/tone exercises and then proceed to scale and arpeggio exercises of varying difficulty. I like to switch up the exercises that I do in my warm-ups each day so that I am constantly challenging myself and I never get too comfortable with any one exercise. I then move onto etude practice, and I am pushing myself to learn 3 etudes per week so I learn 3-4 lines of each per day. After I am completely warmed up, I will move onto solo repertoire, where I only focus on the sections that are giving me difficulty. I will practice these sections in a variety of different ways until I have fixed the problems, and then I typically end my practice sessions by either running through a large section of a piece or playing something I really enjoy.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Rubank Method books to teach fundamentals, partially because it was the book that my first private teacher used with me and I found that it worked very well, but also because they start from the very beginning and have great exercises for absolute beginners as well as intermediate and advanced students. There are three volumes of this book, and I find that it is rewarding for students to move onto the next book as an incentive of their growth and hard work. I also use the Forty Little Pieces book for beginners to introduce repertoire, and for more intermediate and advanced students I use the 24 Short Concert Pieces for Flute and Piano collection in addition to integrating standard repertoire.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In the beginning, the hardest aspect of flute playing to master is learning how to develop a proper embouchure and how to manage your breathing and air speed to create sound. It can be very difficult and even frustrating for many people to try and produce a sound the first time they pick up a flute, but the more that they experiment with embouchure placement and work on developing their lung capacity and strength, the easier it becomes to produce a beautiful tone. I always tell my beginning students that the flute is one of the hardest instruments to learn (it takes almost as much air to play as a tuba - believe it or not!), but once you learn it you will have learned it for life.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
All of my former students have received the highest ratings on their solo performances in both the District and State levels of the Michigan State Band and Orchestra Association Solo and Ensemble competitions. They have also been accepted into the Michigan All-State Honors Band, have all held a principal position in their school bands, and have excelled in every aspect of their flute playing. Although none of my former students decided to pursue a career in music, they are all still playing the flute and it remains to be a very important part of their lives.
