We then set about drawing up a practice routine, specific to that student. The practice routine is a set of 3-5 exercises taken from my library music books that will each touch on an area or skill that the student needs to work on. The routine will end with a song or piece of music for the student to read and practice. The student will practice this routine daily and the following week the student and I will sit down and play through the routine together. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I enjoy observing each student’s character in their playing and design lessons tailored for them. Also finding a good balance between the music that a student is good at, and others that a student is not familiar with. Playing piano is in a way of expressing one's opinion through music. Learning the history, musicology, stories behind a piece, and the different techniques and tones for expressing the music, are all important features in my teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I began teaching private lessons while I was still in college around 2005 and have had few private students. Ive taught and coached jazz band, concert band, and orchestra youth programs like Stanford Jazz, The Jazzschool, and Golden State Youth Orchestra. The students I work with learn the fundamentals and mechanics of the instrument, the understanding of musical language and theory, how it relates to the world, expression of feelings, thoughts and ideas, and the overall joy and fulfillment of playing music on trombone.

I Love teaching music, and love helping others progress on their musical journeys! I've played music for as long as I can remember, and spent my childhood learning just about every instrument I could get my hands on. As a young adult, I rigorously practiced piano and studied music theory, eventually writing an 80 page thesis analyzing jazz piano improvisation in college. Now, I like to spread my love of music by showing others how much joy it has brought to my life, and helping them to experience that same joy. Read More
Instruments: Piano Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For my young piano students, I use the structure of the Faber series to slowly introduce concepts. For my guitar students I have had great success with the Mel Bay series, which combines initial chord playing and some music reading fundamentals. For ukulele, I utilize the Hal Leonard service. With all of my students, I always want to have the students choose songs they like and that they can set as realistic goals. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because I have a deep passion and love for it. Playing this instrument brings me immense joy and fulfillment, and I believe that it's essential for a music instructor to have a strong connection with their instrument.
By choosing this instrument as my primary focus, I've been able to dedicate countless hours to perfecting my skills and understanding its nuances. This expertise allows me to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with your child effectively. I believe that when a teacher is genuinely passionate about their instrument, it can inspire and motivate students to develop their own love for music.
Moreover, my choice of instrument aligns with my teaching philosophy and expertise, ensuring that I can provide your child with the best possible learning experience. I'm excited to share my knowledge and help your child embark on their musical journey with the same passion and dedication that I have for my primary instrument.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a Music Instructor specializing in classical Violin and Viola, I've had the privilege of working with many talented students and contributing to the world of classical music. While all my experiences have been rewarding in their own ways, there are a few accomplishments that I'm particularly proud of:
1. Highest Average Score at Soochow University: During my tenure as a Professor of Viola at Soochow University, I achieved the highest average score for all students in the university's history, with a remarkable score of 90 out of 100 points. This demonstrates my commitment to excellence in teaching and the success of my students.
2. Producing Top-Scoring Students: I'm especially proud of producing the highest-scoring individual student in the university's history, with a score of 95 out of 100 points. Additionally, one of my viola students secured a top position at the Concerto Competition, earning a 3rd place prize. These achievements reflect the dedication I put into nurturing the talents of my students.
3. Career Advancement for Students: My role in helping 96% of my students gain professional employment, and their continued success in their careers, is a testament to the impact of my teaching. It brings me immense satisfaction to see my students flourish in their musical journeys.
4. Leadership in Youth Music Education: During my time as a Music Instructor and Orchestra Assistant at the Manhattan International Music Festival, I played a crucial role in enhancing young musicians' proficiency and fostering a sense of unity among them. I organized masterclasses and provided a platform for students to showcase their talents, leading to outstanding performances.
These accomplishments are a testament to my dedication to music education and my ability to inspire and nurture young talents. I'm deeply proud of the progress my students have made and the contributions I've made to the classical music community.
