I'm a patient and dedicated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my knowledge of piano-playing.

The best way for students to improve their proficiency on an instrument is through consistent, weekly practice. In our lessons, we will discover overall musical goals and then weekly goals to help us achieve our dreams. Yes, the dedication must be put in by the student, but organized practice is the quickest way to truly improve. In my lessons, we will work on technique and sight reading as well as improvisation and learning songs. Read More

I started learning guitar about 9 years ago in Malaysia. During that time, I also picked up running as my favorite sport. I came over to US in 2012 and graduated from Queens College with a BS in Exercise Science in 2017. During these 5 years I have been serving in church as a guitarist and teach whoever approaches me. At the same time, I also competed for Queens College in Track/Cross Country events. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The foundation of any good technique is the most important aspect of maintaining that technique in a healthy way; similar to a dancer practicing at the bar each day, I encourage my students to internalize the foundational warm-ups first, upon which we'll build the rest of the vocal practice. Students are also encouraged to go at their own pace, and bring in any material that inspires them - the best singing is done when it's enjoyable! Read More

Instruments: Violin

I have been teaching for almost 20 years and have taught people as young as four years old to amateur adults, as well as from beginners to highly advanced pre-conservatory students, and people from all different backgrounds. Music is such a personal journey for each person, and my teaching philosophy is centered around what the student needs and wants. My ideal student is one who shows a daily devotion to the strengthening of necessary muscle groups, to students who are eager to learn and to try new things, and students who are motivated to accomplish goals that we set together!

My main goal is that students are happy in the lessons and learn as much as they can, so I believe that the best way to do this is by teaching the music that the student wants, not the music that I want.
