Instruments: Piano
I start all of my beginning students in John Thompson Book One as it provides a great base to build on. After that lessons become very personalized to the student's learning styles as well as their individual goals. Adult beginners I supplement with Faber. I aim to get all of my students playing "real" music very quickly without sacrificing solid technique and fundamentals. I tend to spend half of a lesson on drills and half working on songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
Nothing is more enjoyable than seeing a music student climb the learning curve and self recognize and appreciate their progress other than, perhaps watching their passion grow over the long term as they successfully step into the performance phase and play a well practiced piece for their friends, family, peers, or others. Each student's lesson selection plan is always a collaborative agreement between the instructor and learner as well as the practice plan in terms of both frequency and repetition pattern. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have a passion for teaching piano. I work well with ages 6 through adult and take great pleasure in helping students develop their love of music through piano lessons. Lessons are tailored to each students ability and interest. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola
I choose to work step by step. Not to force them or pressure them on anything. As I mentioned above, having this balance between having fun, enyoing and learning how to be responsible and dedicated, is healthy and efficient! Important is to understand that to learn an instrument, you also need to practice, at least 30 min per day and not just only wanting to have the lesson, because the progress will be very minimal and slow, and the learning process will become very boring.

Instruments: Piano
I'm an ardent instructor and music lover that believes in the saying that music is the soundtrack of our lives. Through my studies, lessons, and performances, I have learned to appreciate the rich diversity found in music. A joy that I love sharing with all of my students. In 2016, I enjoyed participating in an international competition that served to further my experiences as a musician. All in all, I believe the study of music should always be an enjoyable experience no matter what your musical aspirations may be. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Simple answer. PERFECT practice makes perfect.
In other words if you don’t concentrate while you’re practicing it is near to a waste of time.
30 minutes of hard concentrated practice everyday would be better than fiddling around for two hours, not really paying attention to what your doing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Well I would have to say that his or her interest has to be peaked. Any bit of interest is enough to give lessons a shot. Maybe they will stick with it maybe they won’t but it is worth getting some lessons if they show interest in an instrument.
When will I start to see results?
I would say it will take about two months to start seeing progression on the instrument. 6 months will be where the parent or parents will really start to “hear” the improvement.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I started music on my own when I was young. No specific person peaked my interest. Although later on I had teachers that taught me what it was like to be a professional musician, through they’re actions and advice.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The tone of the bass just really grabbed my attention. I don’t know exactly why. I just became attracted to the sound when I was young.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Mastering four instruments is my most proud achievement. Tours and other things are meaningless if I am not happy with the way I play when I put my head on the pillow at night.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I won the top bass scholarship at a prominent music school in LA.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience to do the boring technique work. Patience is still hard to master at times.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I collect from all those yes and more.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Anywhere from an hour to two hours of concentration technique work. Intertwined with songs or “riffs” that I have been working on.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in bass theory. I chose this because bass is my fundamental instrument. The theory I then learned can be transferred to any instrument
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Claire De Lune on piano, I haven’t played it yet. It is my dream piece because it is my dads favorite song to play on piano.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be in some type of environment help career.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Funk if I have to choose. Just because the feel is so happy and light hearted.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I needed more melody and chords that he bass couldn’t give me.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandfather and father both play music. I grew up listening to my dad play piano. He was and is my biggest influence.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was in my room playing bass late at night alone when I was about 14 and it hit me how quickly I was learning this thing. I knew it was what I was supposed to do.

I would like to arrange piano lessons for my soon to be 6 year old daughter. I play, but due to my schedule, I am unable to do lessons on a consistent basis.
