Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I started teaching privately in 2004, and have been doing so in either my own studio or in the studios of others ever since.. In 2013, I started contracting with the Anaheim City School District to teach string classes in their after-school music program. Since moving to Texas, I have started orchestra programs at two different schools in Dallas county, while continuing to build my own studio. Whether in a private or group setting, the joy on the students' face is the most powerful motivator and greatest reward I know of. Read More
Instruments: Cello
It was my 4th grade dream to play Carnegie Hall, so I practiced practiced practiced and finally got my shoot as a senior in high school. After focusing on such a singular goal, I began to see what this amazing instrument can do. I am currently working on making the world's first ever six string glass electric cello,as seen in my profile picture. I have also been playing any style of music I can get my hands on, Jazz, Rock, Country you name it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I began teaching music in high school when I worked as an teacher's assistant during group piano classes. I started teaching private cello and piano lessons shortly thereafter and continued to do so through college. After graduation, teaching music truly became my passion. I've worked extensively with private students of all ages. I taught private lessons, group classes, and sectionals to students through several different school orchestra programs. I've maintained a private studio with students of all ages and skill levels. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
No matter which instrument I give lessons on, my overall goal and desire is that the student first, has FUN, second, sees themselves progressing on their instrument, and thirdly, get to experience the joy, satisfaction and confidence one gains in playing the songs they enjoy themselves. To see smiles appear on faces of students, and hear how excited they were the first time they played a popular song they know and love well in front of some else. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard
I did not officially start teaching music until after I graduated from Hill College. I have been playing the cello since I was 13 and singing since I was practically born. While attending college I was put in charge of my section in the choir in order to make sure that everyone knew their part. I would set up weekly times for all of us to meet and go over our parts.

Instruments: Piano Cello Music
I am a positive and encouraging instructor, and emphasize proper technique, music theory, and fundamentals through a variety of musical styles ranging from classical to popular music. My students are all ages (I once had a student start at the age of 70!) and come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I work with students to help them balance a practice schedule with the rest of their lives. I consider myself to be a coach and facilitator and work with my students to set realistic, achievable, but challenging goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
As a teacher, it is always rewarding to see students not only improved and made progress but also to see them being focused and enjoy playing music. It's helpful if a teacher can create an inspiring environment that encourages students to try different things and to look for more possibilities of playing music. Students feel more motivated when they can find something interesting in music and they feel more accomplished when they are able to play the music they love. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Often it is different every day. A variety of vocal warm-ups are consistently a part of the rhythm I have developed. The song choice that I practice reflect what events might be coming up or what I still need to master.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music and Worship Leadership. I never intended to teach in public schools or really to teach at all. I wanted simply to lead worship in the Christian Church. However, then I discovered that teaching is an indispensable part of worship leadership. Then I gradually discovered that I love to teach and to help others achieve the musical excellence that has been engraved in me!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I create resources and/or find excellent free resources on the internet for students to use, resources that match the student's learning style and are FREE! Aren't you paying enough for lessons as it is?
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am only just beginning in offering private lessons now that I have graduated, but my students have been very happy so far with the instruction I have given.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I have a very hard time doing lead style guitar, such as solos and stuff. I have mastered rhythm guitar and am continuing to grow in it, but lead is far beyond what my fingers have been able to do
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Starting and leading an independent band, Levi Square, which continues on to this day! Please see the links below for more information!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar and voice are primary for me. Piano, in which I am self-taught is secondary. I also play ukulele, bass guitar, and almost any percussion except a full drum set. I can teach marching band technique as well.
When will I start to see results?
This is different for every different child, but it will usually take some time. It is worth the wait when you reach the result!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers along the way, and each inspired me in different ways. The chairman of LC's school of music inspired me to learn to lead well. My voice instructor taught me to learn better and to grow even when I think I am good enough. My theory professor taught me that when we teach we are also learning. My strings instructor encouraged me to start teaching when throughout college I never thought I could!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
How much interest are they showing in music? If the child repeatedly asks about it, they are showing that they want it!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Dedication! Do not give up!
