Instruments: Guitar
I started teaching lessons when I was 16 working for a music day camp in Bellevue, WA. I loved working with young kids who liked rock music and had heart when it came to their love of music. My mom has been a teacher my whole life, and I believe in people passing on knowledge and experiences to each other to help people grow and discover the world. I think my strongsuit would be in teaching players closer to the beginning of their playing journey, as that was the most formative time for me and when I had the strongest teacher influence in my life.

Teaching - Piano/keys 4 students. Drum for 2 students (one student was blind).

I taught myself the trumpet and achieved first chair within the first 6 months of playing (our marching band performed in Canada to California besides many places in Washington). Piano solos at Eastern Washington University, Central Washington University and Seattle Pacific University. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Keyboard
My main focus is trying to teach students HOW to learn music, so that they can eventually create their own methodology based on what works best for them. I have eight years of experience teaching private lessons, so I understand how to craft a curriculum to an individual's needs. Working with hundreds of different musicians has taught me that everyone learns music differently: some through sight reading, others with audio recordings, others still by watching someone else do it first. We can work on specific topics during our lessons, but I can also give you a bunch of things to review/work on during your own time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I foster a fun and supportive learning environment. In addition, it is important to me that my lessons are student led. Rather than dictate to students exactly what and how they should practice, I always use my students' curiosity as a guide, and work on what is most interesting to them. For young learners, I do everything possible to make the learning environment as fun and engaging as possible, practically not even introducing the concept of a mistake until around 1 year of lessons.

Instruments: Violin Viola Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The defining moment was in 5th grade after I won my first solo audition for the Koger Center; I'd been playing for less than a year. I played in front of thousands of people and there was a thrilling sensation I felt, knowing that I was able to touch the lives of so many people with sound. That's when I knew then that music would be a part of me for the rest of my life. Music heals, when words cannot.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Majority of my family members (aunts and cousins) are singers, my dad played the keyboard and organ by ear and my mother is completely tone deaf.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano after I started playing violin. It made it easier to see the intervals vs having to feel them on the violin.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Essential Elements (shows the beginning basics of the violin/viola).
Suzuki (to focus on memorization)
Carl Flesch (Scales-which improve intonation)
Kreuzer (Etudes-to focus on various techniques)
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have auditioned for Region and All-State Orchestra, each one of them have successfully made it, not because of me, but because of their dedication and willingness to work hard.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Intonation is definitely the hardest thing to master on the violin or viola. Simply because you can't see where to put your fingers (like a guitar or piano). With time and consistent practice the student will build muscle memory and intonation will no longer be an issue.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Majority of my older cousins were playing violin in their school orchestras. I went to a couple of their concerts when I was younger and I haven't looked back since.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't feel bad if you didn't achieve your goal in your current practice session. Re-evaluate the way you're practicing. Take it one measure at a time, if you need to, take it one beat at a time and repeat it for 5 mins. Play it slowly with a metronome and build it up to the performance tempo.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they're willing to focus for at least 30 minutes straight, they're ready. Typically a child is ready if they're constantly asking or obsessing over music. Don't worry about them being bored in their lessons, it's my job to make the lessons fun :)
When will I start to see results?
If the student follows the practice structure given at their first lesson, you'll see results within the first week. It's extremely important that the student practices consistently, this will show the best results.
