Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet French Horn

I began teaching private lessons in high school. I would have middle schoolers meet me at the high school and teach from there. I fell in love with teaching at that point. I found that the feeling of seeing/hearing a student succeed at their instrument makes me incredibly happy!!! I have taught anywhere from classical/instrumental to country/hip hop. I also like to make sure my students are having fun. Read More

I taught Band Instruments, Voice, Guitar, Music Theory, Beginner Piano, Beginner Strings. What I consider to be my crown achievement is hearing from parents who told me that the overall academic performance of their children had improved since they began taking lessons from me. Read More

Every student is different, so my teaching approach is rarely identical from student to student. Technical training progresses as a student develops motivation through his or her practice habits. I try to encourage practice through journal entry and self-accountability. I also try to make a student's home practice a little more exciting by setting goals and explaining what will be accomplished through achieving these short-term goals. Introducing new concepts while perfecting basic technique is how I try to captivate a student's attention and excitement for music. Read More

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

The first question is: do you love your instrument? The second one is: how much do you want to play your instrument? The last one: why do you want do play your instrument? Then the student will receive the appropriate instructions. However, I usually improve and enlarge the students' relation to his instrument. For example, some of my students left the idea of play a musical instrument just for fun and (even though she was a pianist) became a professional in her new string instrument (the cello).The main point is, each student need to realize his/her real relationship with his/her musical instrument.
