Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I always try to encourage students to see the small victories in playing music; regardless of how significant or noticeable an achievement is. Many students get down on themselves because they can't play something or they make a mistake. This is a deficit mindset that stunts growth long term. When I first teach a student I want them to set a short term goal between each lesson and one long term goal that spans from a month to a year. Read More

I am a singer-songwriter, music educator, and actress from Chicago! I have always incorporated music into my life. My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was only four years old! When I was about twelve, I began to do musical theatre and then joined the award-winning group Musicality in high school. Throughout my time at Musicality, I grew from alternate, to member, to staff member, to associate director, and now to producer. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber 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. Selecting the best piano teaching method can be a daunting task. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I love kids. I believe that music is a continuous learning. It needs a lot of patience and dedication to both intructor and students in order to see the advancement. I am passionate and kind. I love to teach in this field and love to meet more people with different race and cultures. I graduated Bachelor of Science in Tourism and now I am taking my Masters of Business Admininistration.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My methods are based in Suzuki as I am a strong believer that students musical capabilities can be developed regardless of their musical predispositions. For beginning students that have minimal background musical knowledge, I incorporate theory and aural skill trailing into the lessons to help the students learn to read their music and apply the theoretical and technical concepts learned in each class to the repertoire studied. Both my vocal and piano lessons typically focus on technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
As a pianist, I took classes from IU that broadened my capability as a teacher to teach everything from general, choral, and instrumental music. I had my senior piano solo recital. I have a diverse range of performing experiences as a vocalist, including Opera, International Vocal Ensemble, and show choirs. With voice lessons, I have learned a lot about singing and being able to teach healthy singing. As an instrumentalist, I played in band ensemble for 10 years and have also taken all the instrumental technique classes that study instruments by families in depth. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
I have been teaching for 10+ years via traveling to students homes and via my private drum studio. Most of my students often say that lessons with me are VERY FUN and VERY PRODUCTIVE. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a working professional or if it’s because I just love to teach, but lessons are fun for me too. I love to teach my students the basic tools of what it takes to be a professional musician, whether or not they are into music as a hobby or as a serious profession. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always have a pencil and don't be afraid to mark up your music! It doesn't make you dumb if you have to remind yourself that a certain note is flat or sharp. If you need to write in the counting - go for it! - it will only mean less mistakes being ingrained in your muscle memory. Especially at the piano - write in any finger number you need! Experiment and don't mind erasing previous work if you later come across a better way to finger a passage...but write what you have in the moment down so you don't forget. Marking up the music not only saves loads of time by not having to repeat certain steps in the learning process, but it also helps your brain solidify positive connections!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Rhapsody in Blue with the orchestral accompaniment. I heard it for the first time in Fantasia 2000 when I was little and fell in love with it back then. Once I was in high school I came across the piece again and bought the music. Then in college I made sure as many of my theory assignments or history assignments could focus on that piece. I have always loved jazz, but have kept mostly to the classical world in my practice. Rhapsody in Blue invokes an emotion that is so relatable - which is sometimes difficult for me to do with classical music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. warm-up for about 20 minutes (long-tones, scales (all modes), arpeggios, thirds, tonguing rhythms) with a tuner (for flute) with a metronome (for flute and piano).
2. Sight-read (I try to rotate between easy - intermediate - advanced) 5 min
3. Wood-shed (find the hardest passages I'm working on practice slowly, fix bugs, experiment, google info on the piece to see if there are any suggestions, listen to recordings, sing them) the 2-3 hardest passages in my repertoire. 45-60 minutes
4. Context practice: play longer sections of passages I had worked on in my last practice session. 30 min
Note: this level of detail and continuity requires me to mark up my scores and keep a journal (on my phone) so I know what I've practice when. I also don't do this all in one sitting. Sometimes I do, but more often than not I warm-up and sightread then take a break - maybe practice piano or read, or clean, etc.) then do the wood-shed practice and take another break before going into context practice. If I'm crunched for time I warm-up and do as much wood-shedding as I can.
