It's always a great feeling to see one of my students successfully performing a piece of music that they have been working hard on. Sometimes a student may feel they are not progressing as quickly as they want to, but I always encourage the students that as long as they are progressing at any kind of pace, they're getting better. I always make sure that my student's are learning something new to keep them engaged. Read More

My teaching style is relaxed and informal. I like to have a connection with my students and I usually achieve that through good sense of humor, simplicity and precision in the delivery of information and accuracy in the examples used to enhance the explanations. What you can expect as my student is a fun lesson, useful information, a lot of playing and feeling motivated to study until we meet on a next time. Read More

I have had the opportunity to learn from many musicians over the course of my musical career. I have gathered much practical music knowledge from University Professors to Street Corner Musicians. Applying that knowledge to my guitar playing has opened up many doors of opportunity and has made my life very interesting. I have performed professionally in various ensembles such as Mariachi, Tejano, Orchestra, and several guitar duets. I currently perform professionally as a solo instrumental guitarist at such venues as restaurants, resorts and private events. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion
I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More

For beginning students, it is absolutely essential to learn the basics. As each student grows and has fully grasped a better understanding of the fundamentals, the I 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. I have learned that every learner is different, so each person's lesson has to cater to their learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I teach piano, guitar, and voice. I teach students of all ages and all levels. Beginners are always welcome and encouraged. I have successfully taught hundreds of students. I'm a passionate and motivated teacher who loves working with students. Here is a little history for you. I started playing piano at the age of 17 and within a year I was doing eight hours a day. Within about three years, I started performing piano at private parties, cabarets, and hotels throughout the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. Read More

Music and art is what I live for. During middle school, piano was my favorite class, and at a young age I knew I wanted to become a music teacher. I have been teaching myself guitar since I was 14 years old. Although I have been in many bands of many styles, Flamenco and Classical music is my real passion. From Cafe Sevilla in downtown, to Cafe Europe in PB, I perform on various stages around San Diego. Read More
Instruments: Voice
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned how to play the piano and then learned to sing. I also learned other types of instruments.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was very young, I began singing and learning several instruments. I have been very lucky to have such wonderful teachers helping me from learning and then into becoming a professional. Over all these years of singing, I have loved every part of it: from Broadway, Opera, and many other styles!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Several teachers from kindergarten to post-Bachelor degree "took me under their wing" and encouraged me to sing whatever I loved. I was always eager to learn and would sing my heart out washing dishes or on a bycicle ride. Singing is within everyone!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I loved to sing from when I was a little girl; I also wanted to learn piano because my fingers loved the sound. I'm happy to accompany, but my greatest desire above all else has been to sing in public
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Winning the National Association of Teachers of Singing for New England and then offered roles around all New England states and invited to sing a major role in Carlisle Floyd's opera. I have sung many roles in Opera, been asked to sing an hour or two of songs from 1400 to the present. I have taught in many universities.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I also am a poet and writer. It have been wonderful to have several books published!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream was to sing in Broadway and Opera and have been so excited to do many roles!
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 three degrees in singing, opera and learning how to communicate with people around the world!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice is reviewing the songs I love, and making them better and better!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Finding your true voice through open throat, diaphragm breathing, facial bond opening and finally feeling all in the body as a singer-actor
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, many. They all have graduated or are intending to choose music for their degree. Almost all of these wonderful students have gone into professional life as singer-teacher. Some have song around the world!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love singing all types. I have been asked to sing all types of songs. I love them all!
When will I start to see results?
Many students will see results at the first lesson. Most will feel their singing open and a little later feel their breathing become part of their natural feeling. Singing becomes so much easier and fulfilling!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with all your heart, learning the exercises and have as a goal to memorize the songs. Choose music you love and feel comfortable and happy with!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child is ready, they will become happy after a few lessons. If a child does not want to practice or attend lessons, wait a bit.
