Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga

I set fun goals and I challenge each student every step of the way to help them reach them. I point out their strengths yet I keep a close eye on their weaknesses and work with them to eliminate any all bad habits in playing instruments. After a few weeks I quiz them and reward them for overcoming any obstacles. I really like to have my students play in front of friends and family after around 3 months of studying. Read More

I'm very motivation oriented and encourage my students as best I can when things are more difficult. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

In both piano and voice lessons, I find that a mix of classical and modern repertoire encourages the ideal balance of skill development and enjoyment! For beginning piano students, I begin by assigning Bastien's Piano Books; for children, I usually start with the Basics Primer, and for adults the Piano for Adults. Once the student has developed a foundation of the essentials, I assign repertoire tailored to their musical goals, ability, and interests. Read More

I strongly believe that a well-rounded music education helps a player to become a more confident, musical, and an emotionallyyaware musician. As such, I like to give my students small assignments focused on topics besides just performance, such as Music Theory and Aural Skills exercises. Of course, I will always move at the pace the student needs but I also know (from personal experience) that a nudge in the right direction can be priceless. Read More

For beginning students who are children, be able to capture their excitement and build on top of that is very important. 90% of students gave up playing within the first year is because they felt...bored. My method get students quickly be able to play along with songs that they like or hear often in their daily life (ex. radio) then we break down the fundamentals behind the songs and gear the song toward a more classical approach to help students gain a comprehensive understanding, solid foundation and techniques.
