Currently, I'm a nineteen-year old student at UCLA! I'm entering my second year come September, and will be majoring in both Piano Performance and Mechanical Engineering. I've played piano for about 15 years now, and have taught for around 6 years alongside my mother who is also a piano teacher. I've had the opportunity to perform all over the world, from Carnegie Hall to small cities in Italy and performing before some of the world's greatest artists. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I began teaching voice in 1998, in Vienna, Austria. The following year, I was asked to teach at the Vocal Jazz Department of Gustav Mahler Conservatory where I taught for 5 years. During that time, my private teaching studio also grew, where I coached singers, songwriters and pianists. In 2004, I moved to Los Angeles, taught piano at a private music school, accompanied a Eurythmy class at The Waldorf School in Pasadena, and eventually built my own business as a piano teacher.

I will go at the students learning pace but also push them to accel. I teach at your pace and will make sure you get results. We can learn out of a book of your choosing but if you're unsure of what you need to learn I will gladly take the reigns and start you out with what I think would benefit you. I have a TON of books to learn from which range from rock books, jazz, sight reading, tablature and also some holiday stuff if that's something you'd want to do. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I already performed it- Portrait of Tracy, a solo piece by Jaco Pastorius. I was asked to perform it at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston for the 1993 Bass Day performances. An amazing experience to perform it for over 3000 people.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a performance degree from the Berklee College of Music. I chose performance because there was so much playing involved and the constant interaction with other musicians was immensely necessary in evolving to the level I sought after.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use a lot of the Berklee music books i have at my fingertips, Also I use the Jerry Bergonzi Inside Improvisation series which is so rich in content that you are amazed every time you work out of it then put it into place on the bandstand.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is to be able to play exactly what your hearing. That takes hours of performing, transcribing, and working hard where you're able to play exactly what you're hearing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Soon to be released is a recording I did with some great LA and NY musicians and we were able to accomplish musically exactly what we wanted. Also, at Berklee I was able to play a lot with Antonio Sanchez, who is Pat Matheny's drummer. Also playing with Mahesh Balisoorio, an amazing pianist who has played with some of the best in Jazz. Also I got the chance to play with Danny Carrey- Tool's drummer.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had two students graduate from Berklee College of Music and go on to professional music careers. Also students who, graduated Cal Arts, Oberlin Conservatory, and North Texas State- of the best music colleges in the world. .
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first started going around the house playing a rubber band and singing bass lines, then I had a friend who was a bass player and he lent me an instrument and just love the sound of the bass...
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad inspired me to go into music because he was a musician and started me out on the baritone horn, I then changed to trumpet in the 5th grade and my band teacher Mr. Baxter had multitudes of inspiration for me to continue my musical journey.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition is key to forming the musical chops, muscle memory, and complete understanding of the use of concepts and approaches. Also, concentrated and aware practice keeps you sharp and up on ideas, and improv.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
One way to tell is if they are singing, banging out rhythms on anything available to them. Also, if they start to ask questions about how to do things musical I think that is a good indication they are ready for lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Some results you will start to see right away, others may take a week or so, and advance techniques may take months at a time. The results are sometimes difficult to see yourself, that's where the teacher's experience comes in.
