Instruments: Piano Voice
I began my teaching career as a college student in 2015 and have continued to teach both in private and group settings for a total of 8 years. My primary instrument is voice, and I am passionate about guiding growing singers in finding their voice, developing healthy vocal technique, learning helpful music theory, and fostering a love of music! I also teach piano up to an intermediate level and enjoy helping players advance their agility, understanding of theory, and musical expression. Read More

I started giving Music lessons 20 years ago. I began giving private lessons and group lessons part time in the afternoons after I finish school in the mornings. Young students come to me asking me for lessons after a Gig or performance. I found very interesting and exiting to see the progress of the students with my own personal methods. We follow a process with disciple but we also have fun and we go to the direction that the student feels more attracted. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
For others, this may mean complimenting technical training with music games or physical exercises, during which the student is able to learn valuable concepts away from the instrument. By taking the time to build a personal rapport with my students, I aim to not only impart technical skills, but also give them the tools to foster their own creativity, and build confidence that will have a positive impact on other areas of life.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I like to take music you like and find a way to incorportae a skill you should be learning into the guitar work, so you can play at home or with friends while growing in skill. This will be a great way to stay accountable and have fun at the same time. I will teach you how to play lead, and rhythm guitar at the same time, and as the sole guitarist if you had to play both.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
I'm an extremely dedicated and passionate performing artist, composer, and instructor with a BM in Jazz Studies from the USC Thornton School of Music. I love all aspects of playing, teaching, and writing music, but my favorite part is sharing my passion with others and watching a similar passion grow in themselves. I have been playing saxophone for about 12 years, flute and clarinet for 7, and drums and piano for the past 3 years (so I can only accept beginning drum and piano students.) I love all types of music and will work with you on any genre you want to work on while improving your overall facility on your instrument! Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar
I have been a bass player for over 15 years and have played in numerous projects and recordings. Main focus has been rock n roll, rock en espaol and singer/songwriter projects. I have my own recording studio in downtown la, I can provide a variety of services to students that includes media and can be a facilitator of services if I myself can fulfill the students needs. I have played music since I was 10 years and have gained a ton of knowledge academic and firsthand experience and has served me well in my experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For children beginners, I usually start with either Faber & Faber Piano Adventure or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. When the students have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will start introducing solo repertoire to get them ready for their first recital performance. For adult students, I guide my instruction accordingly after finding out what the student is interested in to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been arranging for piano and flute for several years. Last year I decided to put them together and make my own CD. This took months of preparation in both arranging and practicing, before recording. I recorded the pieces in 2 separate batches. One in January, and the other in September of 2017. The CD was fun to make, but it still is useful, as I am using the arrangements in lessons. I also encourage my students to arrange pieces. One of my hymnplaying students also plays the harp, and I have been able to encourage her to arrange her own hymns to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Two of my young students passed their abrsm grade 1 and 2 exams with distinction, which is the highest mark. They had to memorize 3 pieces, one each from 3 different periods. We worked on one piece at a time., learning and then memorizing each. Sometimes I recorded the piece so they could play along. Many times they had measures to work on 3 times perfect each day. They also had scales and arpeggios to memorize, which we worked on one at a time, then reviewed all each week. They had to practice sight reading every day, and we worked on singing and rhythm during our lessons. I was so proud of their achievement, and so were they!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I find memorizing pieces quite challenging. I get ever so excited when I'm allowed to use my music! :) This had always been a challenge for me, while many I know can memorize without an effort.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I prefer to use Faber as a beginning method. I have used Alfred in the past, but I find that my young students start to equate certain fingers with certain notes, and this is difficult to overcome. But, once we get past the first couple of books, I am happy to use whatever the student brings to their lesson.
With flute, I have recently started using the Blocki method. I love the way it encourages the student to play both registers from the very beginning, and also the strong emphasis on scales, which are the building blocks for runs!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I encourage my students to play scales at each practice session, which encourages the finger mobility. Sight reading is also important! Sometimes we have a sight reading book, or sometimes they can play through an easier book they already have. Then we move on to each piece, practicing the difficult parts first, then playing the piece through at the end as a treat. My younger students need to practice flash cards or a music app daily so they don't have to keep counting out the notes during their lesson or when sight reading.
