My teaching style is not in a box. I would need to get to know the student, understand the goal of the student, understand the learning process of the student. I do have structure depending on the level of the student but there is much room for customization as not every student is the same, neither does everyone think the same. It is my goal to reach who you are as a person so I can better assist you on your path in music. Read More

I began teaching private music students in 2011 in the San Francisco bay area while I was in college for Jazz piano.

This involves playing scales or running chord progressions or learning about, for example, the circle of 5ths or 4ths. I do teach more advanced levels, in which we learn how to substitute chords and arrange songs. I alwyas build goals into a program as it feels really good to achieve and move on to the next goal!

Playing consistently has also taken me across the country on tour and into some incredibly varied live venues. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been constantly teaching students in my home studio for last 3 years. Also I have experience teaching in a non- profitable organization " SLAM", where I thought middle school children. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument.
