Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
As I mentioned before, my teaching style can best be described as easygoing, but precise and adapted to each students needs. I focus on the person trying to learn as much as on the learning itself. Yet, Im not demanding or harsh in my delivery or expectations. Rather than a standard, vanilla approach, I try learn my students personality, learning style, and sense of humor pretty quickly and work to adapt the facts and knowledge of music to each student as an individual human, not an appointment.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
My methods depends on the skill level and interest of the student. Fundamentals are key, but I always try to incorporate them with music that the student is interested in learning. I believe that music should never be boring, and practicing should never be a chore! I also believe that musicians of all skill levels can and should improvise, as it is a fundamental form of creative expression that is often overlooked by classically trained musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days teaching private lessons both in my home studio and students' homes, and have been consistently teaching students in their homes for the last 13 years. Encouraging younger students to have a consistent schedule for a regular practice will help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument. Combining classical and modern music help students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I am a charismatic, fun, sensitive, and super-knowledgeable instructor ready to help you achieve your musical dreams! I left my Ph.D. in 2013 so I could perform and teach more on my own terms, and I am thrilled to be a working performer in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. My earliest musical training was in voice, and I have been an accompanist for many years, so I enjoy collaborating on helping vocal students express their highest potential. Read More

I loved teaching violin with students for all ages. I'm a self-employed violin and piano teacher. I enjoy playing my violin in other orchestra with Crown City Symphony in Altadena, Corelli Ensemble, Southland Symphony Orchestra and Palos Verdes Regional Orchestra. In 2014, I graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a degree in Violin Performance. My great experience is to play as a professional orchestra performance to enjoy myself playing all around the world. Read More

My brother was our drummer, that's why I was able to develop some skills in drums as well. I also enrolled in violin lesson for a brief period of time out of curiosity. During college days, while juggling my time as a student, basketball varsity player, and as a pianist/organist in our church, I was suddenly intrigued on how to play saxophone, hence, I gave it a try and had my lesson in the same music school where I did my violin lesson.

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.
