During my University days, I tutored many students in academics and found that I deeply enjoyed connecting with each student and that I had a natural talent for doing do. I began teaching Music in 2006 in music studios. I teach in my own studio and in homes where I continue to do so. I am a Concert Band Director having done so for 10 years in a private school which was a great joy for me. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice
I like to approach vocal lessons from a technical and holistic standpoint. A typical lesson for me usually begins with whatever warm-ups and exercises I feel fit our goals, and a check in to see how you're doing and if there is anything in particular you want to focus on improving. I have a lot of really effective exercises that'll get your voice where you need it to go! I work a lot with placement and support in my singing lessons, and I use a lot of visualization techniques to get you in the right placement. Read More

Because of this platform, I am now confidentially able to fully commit to my students' success as well as keep on top of any and all professional commitments. Having taken music lessons before myself and not liking it, I have come to realize that music is only fun when one is able to learn what they want to learn. This is important to understand because often times, its the strongest factor and motivator most people have when starting to pursue music. Read More

I first began teaching private lessons on my summer breaks from college back in 2013. What began as a way to make side money quickly grew into a passion for sharing my knowledge with others. The look on a students face when I see a concept "click" in their brain has become a driving force for me, and keeps me passionate about spreading musical ideas to those who truly want to learn.

Most of all I enjoy sewing the seed of passion that I received when I began playing my first guitar at the age of 8, and nurturing that which has brought me to love and enjoy the music I experience everyday of my life. I hope that everyone of my students gets out of the each lesson exactly what they came for and more. Whether you are looking for a hobby, trying to reach mastery, or just want to learn a few tunes for a loved one, I want to focus the lesson to your desire. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Challenge yourself, and keep score. With drums it is a matter of perfecting as well as building stamina and muscle over time. Play an easy song with size C-5 sticks, add a few 16ths here and there on the hi-hat, make it game. You want to be limber, comfortable, familiar and adaptable when playing the drums. Try to play a variety of rhythms, change between them, alternate, collate, change time signature. Develop the basic rudiments of rock and jazz into a fun game when you practice and warm up alone.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Under 5 it can be hard to tell, as drums are a primal attraction of children and incredibly fun. However tapping their feet at a young age is often said to be a tell tale sign of a future drummer; as well as emulating musicians and drummers when seen in real life. Sometimes a toy drumset is a good test: some kids may blow you away with an original rhythm! If you're still unsure, see how long they can keep a rhythm in a basic hand clapping game with them or iphone/tablet synthesizer. Music and electronic technology have diverged into the ultimate child musician identifier.
When will I start to see results?
4-5 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Professor Paul Davies and Robert Hartwell at Foothill College in Los Altos both fully engulfed my in the academics of music in a way I don't think either one of them will ever realize. The effect they have had on my knowledge of music and discovery of new music was truly profound.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It chose me to be perfectly honest. I was drumming out 7/4 on the dinner table with no training or lessons. My aunt and uncle would babysit me and take me to their marching band practice and events. The best view of my uncle playing horn would be right next to the tympani and snare in the orchestra pit. At 2 I would kick my crib in time to pink floyd and bebop jazz.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My songs and my albums.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genres to play are rock, metal, jazz fusion and post rock. These are among the most challenging as they are the most demanding both for stamina and innovation. Jazz drums could very well be the most fun kind of music to play, and when combined with your favorite world genres the possibilities are endless. My favorite record to play front to back The Inner Mounting Flame by Mahavishnu Orchestra.
