Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I love the feeling of seeing my students achieve personal growth. I genuinely take the time to encourage each student to develop at their own pace, with focused guidance toward challenging yet realistic goals. Each lesson builds upon previous ones while continuing to address fundamentals and music reading. I like to work in a spiral curriculum where concepts repeat and grow towards higher levels of achievement. I feel that each student's wants and needs should be their primary learning achievements.

I like to teach and talk about the songs and styles that were taught to me by my father when I was just getting in to music and guitar. The first thing I remember learning were "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, which is actually simpler than most people would expect. The basic standards of guitar were taught to me when I was first learning, and that's what excites me to teach to the next generation of guitarists. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am good at combine technique and music performance together to teach students. Because I believe that any technique are serving for music, when I teach student, I will tell and teach them why we use this technique to play this music section. For beginner, I will teach them how to build up strong finger and how to complete relax which is very important. These two factors are dependant on each other. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It helps with structure when you want to learn the bass guitar. Practice time is very important. Practicing effectively is even more important. Effectively practicing helps with finger coordinationp. You will be able to sit down and say, “I want to learn about blues for a month.” After you get down finger warm-ups then you get into a few transcriptions you want to know about. You write them out. Then spend a few hours on just listening to the blues songs. This is practicing effectively. Get down warm-ups every practice session then get into a genre and master it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Once your child talks about the instrument all the time, it is time for them to get music lessons. The lessons will be important and your children with thank you. I say this because even though YouTube is amazing and you can learn from there, a teacher in real-time is better. The student can develop a bond with the student and share personal ideas on learning the instrument. A child should never be given am instrument just to leave it to themselves to learn it. They will never learn it the way that it is intended to be learned. The child would thank and appreciate the parent for getting them an instructor.
When will I start to see results?
The time period where the student and parent will begin to see result will vary. It will completely depend on if the child retains information from the lessons. If the child can successfully retain the information from each lesson, learn the material given in his/her personal time than no later than a month will be the time frame wher results will be seen. If the student does not understand the information and I have to go over it more and more than 6 weeks will be the time framer where results will be seen.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Growing up, I always had an eye for the bass. I really liked to hear how the instrument sounded on the radio. It always fascinated me by the look and the sound. It was so unique to me that a string instrument only had four strings and the neck was so long. From then on I began to think about it and what I would do if I had one in my possession. I enjoyed how it can have various strings and tunings and layouts. I knew that I was sold. So from that point on I began to picking the instrument out of a whole band. I was so happy to begin playing and learning that I never looked back.
