Instruments: Guitar, Music, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching guitar to people of all ages and abilities for the past 7 years and believe that NO ONE is untalented and EVERYONE can learn.  I believe the key to enjoying the guitar and expressing yourself on the guitar is to make the technique of playing the guitar easy and fluent.  In my studio I emphasize making the technique easy in repertoire and exercises appropriate for the level of the student.

For my beginning students who are children, I like to start with Alfred's Music books based on the instrument they choose. They are specific, yet easy for kids to follow along with, and encourage practicing by making each song fun.

I have sung in choirs for thirty years. Over that time, I also performed in several musical plays, and took about 22 college course units in music covering piano, guitar, singing, and musicianship. I took singing lessons with Dr. Ron Shaheen over a five year period. My day job is Mandarin interpreter, and I have time enough to develop as a musician when that work is completed.

I break my expertise into three different categories, which we can pull from and combine based on the situation. They depend largely on the student's age, experience and interests and are as follows: Music Theory (Piano Only): We explore the mathematics behind music; the elements of scales and modes, how these are used to construct chords and how they relate to one another. Heavily focused on the circle of 5ths/cycle of 4ths. Read More
