I have studied music at San Jose City College, San Jose State University and with the 59th Army National Band. I have performed in jazz bands, concert bands, latin bands, choir, and solo piano performance. I have had the honor of performing at the palladium in hollywood, ca. with the 59th Army National Guard Band. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium
I expect practice of the assignments that I give for my private trombone lessons and am a proponent of getting my students to work hard on any weaknesses in their playing. I do set realistic goals and make sure that my trombone students are comfortable with meeting those goals. I encourage trombone students to find new material that they want to do in the future and structure my lessons with the end goal of accomplishing what the student wants to achieve on the trombone.

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele
My methods of teaching cater to the students interests and strengths. I use material and songs that the students want to learn. I draw the learning from these pieces of art. I also use Suzuki, Hal Leonard and Bastien piano materials. My specialty is popular, sacred, arias, jazz and folk music. I create diversity in my lessons and keep them fun and exciting. In my lessons, I teach body mechanics, proper vocal warm ups as well as piano exercises and drills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe
From 2015 until recently, I had experience teaching in music schools in NYC and the Bay Area in California. As of 2019 Fall, I quit my teaching jobs at music schools in order to develop my own teaching styles and create various performance opportunities for my students with restrictions, Currently, I teach in a Kawaii piano store, an after school piano program, student's home, and in a private studio, and teach around 45 students per week!

Instruments: Piano Voice
I have found that this helps the student to progress more quickly and gain a true love of music. I also like to have my students work on a wide variety of repertoire, even if they would like to specialize in only one field. Coming from a liberal arts college,I find that having a specialty while also being well versed in other fields as well is important to a successful music study. Read More
Instruments: Flute
When will I start to see results?
You may start to see results as early as a few weeks after your child's first private lesson. While great teachers can help students accomplish a lot during their private lesson time, the student's diligent practice work outside of lessons will increase the rate at which they are improving on their instrument of choice. At the beginning of your child's musical journey, each lesson will revolve around learning fundamentals on their instrument (i.e. how to form a proper embouchure, how to hold the flute with the proper hand position, where to place their fingers on the keys, etc.). As they learn these skills, you will begin to hear them playing notes, then scales, then a simple and recognizable melody. After they master the fundamentals, they will be able to play more challenging repertoire and conquer more challenging scale and arpeggio exercises. The potential of what your student is able to do on the flute is limitless with consistent private lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a concrete plan of what you would like to accomplish in each practice session is essential. I advise my students to keep a "to-do" list on or near their music stand during each practice session with a breakdown of the repertoire they want to work on, which sections are giving them difficulty, and then a time limit for how long they intend to practice each session. This helps to keep you on track so that you can practice more efficiently in less time. I also advise my students not to just run through large sections of their repertoire or always play the sections that they do really well, instead focus on practicing the things that challenge them so that they can play these sections with ease.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is passionate about music and interested in learning more about the instrument they are playing, private lessons are a great way to allow them to explore their passion with the guidance of an experienced mentor. Private lessons can be started at any age and any ability, and with the right teacher your child will experience joy in learning more about and improving on the instrument of their choice. Learning a musical instrument can benefit your child in so many different ways, including improving their problem solving skills, their math skills, and allowing them to creatively and freely express themselves through playing music.
