Music should be fun. Plain and simple thats why I believe and that is whats kept me pushing forward. Its not going to always be an easy experience learning new things but that does not mean it cannot be fun. I want my students to feel like they are more than enough to play this song or sing that song. I want my students to believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. Read More

As students advance, I incorporate more sophisticated method books and introduce a diverse range of cello pieces tailored to their skill level. Emphasizing a comprehensive approach, I encourage the practice of scales and arpeggios using Hans Jensen's "Galamian Ivan Scale System" to strengthen their technical foundation. For adult learners, I engage in a collaborative discussion about their musical preferences after introducing them to cello basics. This allows me to tailor lessons to their interests, keeping the learning experience engaging and captivating. Read More

Every student is different and learns in different manners, which makes teaching a challenge. This is a challenge that motivates and excites me. I make sure to put all my effort into adapting to every student. Overall, I set reasonable goals for each student that are challenging, yet attainable. I believe in providing positive reinforcement while pushing a student to be better. Ultimately, my goal is to transfer my love for cello and music to the student and will always find a way to do so.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My musical accomplishments have been winning various local competition ( I won my first competition at the age of 12), scholarship recipient for my Bachelor of Music (Partial) and a Full scholarship to the University of Michigan. While I was a student at CSUN I won the school competition and was to perform with a live orchestra as a representation of the school of music. As a graduate of CSUN I received the Margaret Aue Award for outstanding cellist.
In addition as a scholarship recipient at the University of Michigan I was placed in the student graduate quartet, where we performed all the composers new works and performed many concerts.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a fabulous Elementary teacher that was able to teach all the instruments at El Marino School in Culver City. She is very knowledgeable and a great woman. To this day I always thank her for all she did for me. I worked with her for 2 years and then she told my parents that I needed private lessons at this point, I was 10 year old at this point. She is an inspiration to all the students who played under her conducting.
When will I start to see results?
Usually you start seeing results within a week. Realizing that the beginner (child or Adult) will learn at different pace. Some students catch on very quickly and move through the book at a good clip. Others need more time and develop a little slower. The important thing is to learn correctly and you will see results every week. Remember practicing is important here to see results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My standard for knowing a child is ready to start lessons is a few criteria. Can the student read. If so they can then read music because music is a language and it requires the understanding of reading in order to learn how to play. The student should be very interested in the instrument they want to learn, and try to visit some concerts so they may see their instrument being played by professionals. This way, they can see and hear their instrument in a live concert.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is not fun......Yup you heard from me. However, practicing is important. Because without practicing students will not accomplish learning the instrument. Effective practice is a skill that must be learned and understood.
Practicing is not playing the piece assigned to them over and over again with the same mistake each time. This will not work very well. So if the student can identify the mistake, we isolate the problem and repeat the correct way several times so the mistake is finally corrected.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instrument is cello of which I have my degree in Cello Performance, with conducting was my second choice. I teach all levels of cello.
In addition, I acquired a great tool and I was taught by my brother who is a fabulous Violinist who is No. 5 in the world. I have the skills to teach beginning violin only.
