Instruments: Guitar Violin Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I really focus on offering differentiated instruction and understand the importance of being able to adapt student to student. I typically do break our sessions up into focused segments in my lesson plans. I ensure that we cover music theory, rhythm exercises, improvising, and more. As far as practice material goes, I begin most with simple sheet music and some print-outs, however, we will expand into books, recording, and writing your own music. Read More

What I like most about lessons is working with the student towards the common goal of making them a better musician. That is done by reaching many smaller goals over the course of weeks and months and possibly years together. With that in mind, I like my lessons to be an open conversation between the two of us. That's why it's a lesson and not a lecture. I always encourage my students to ask questions and bring in material they want to work on or even a cool video they saw. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I come from Wuhan, China. When I was about five years old, my parents bought a piano, and I began my first piano lesson. I was not feeling comfortable or patient to practice, which was similar to many other kids. I once quit my piano playing for three years during junior school for not having enough time and energy to continue, however, I found the outburst of my enthusiasm towards music at the age of sixteen, and soon I picked my forgotten piano skills up.

Teaching should never revolve around the notion that "perfection" is the ultimate" goal. This way of thinking not only provides my students with a false sense of hope, but more importantly is simply unattainable. In the modern age of playing, too often do I feel students losing sight of what is most important: the music. While good intonation and rhythm are certainly important, what I hope to instill in each of my students is a level of understanding far beyond learning the "notes" on the page. Read More
