Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe that choosing lesson material should always be a collaborative experience between student and teacher. Flexibility is one of my core values in teaching music, as I’ve found that each student has unique interests, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. Rather than going into lessons with a set curriculum, I like to give students some agency over what they’d like to learn while making sure to cover fundamentals as they apply along the way. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Accordion French Horn Music Keyboard
As a multi-instrumentalist, I've loved teaching piano, accordion, and brass instruments to all ages and levels the past +20 years. I've lived, taught, and performed around the world: after earning my bachelor of music in piano performance degree alongside my bachelor of music in horn performance degree in Kansas, I went to the New England Conservatory in Boston for my master's in horn. I was lucky to have received full scholarships for all my degrees. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Synthesizer Recorder Euphonium French Horn Music Keyboard
I began teaching private music lessons in college in 2003. I have been teaching lessons consistently for the last 10 years from my home studio, online, as well as traveling to the students' home. I find great pleasure in hearing a student's progress, that's why I encourage recording their practice and having a consistent practice schedule. I feel it is important to give positive reinforcement and feedback to students. I am always excited to bring on new students of many different age groups! I believe it is important to keep the lesson interesting to the student by incorporating music for technique but also songs that the student enjoys playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar Music Keyboard
As a teacher I can help you grow your abilities on your instrument. Help you achieve the cool warm sound you want from the saxophone. Help you get the dexterity on the instrument you need. And get a more broad understanding of how music is played and created. Throughout my career since I was 16 years old I have taught children, teenagers and adults from beginners to advanced levels. I hold a Masters degree in jazz, composition and teaching from The Rhytmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen and have also taught several courses there and at other distinguished music conservatories.

Instruments: Piano Violin
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
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard
My teaching philosophy is pretty simple and I describe it with these three words clear, direct, and creative. I believe that when it comes to teaching a teacher must be creative, since not all students learn the same way. Also a teacher must be simple and direct in his teachings. A lot of the times teachers tend to give too much information that goes over the head of the students. Read More
Instruments: Violin
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a Masters of Music Degree in Violin Performance from the Kronberg Academy. I chose this degree because it was the most efficient way for me to graduate from college while touring. I studied with Christian Tetzlaff who is one of my favorite violinists living today. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to practice with him in that way and to listen to him play live performances and masterclasses both of which I learned a miraculous amount that which I take with me just as much as I take with with me from a private lesson to me.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece is the Elgar Violin Concerto in B minor. This piece is one that I listened to on the school bus as a child going to school. I remember being sleepy-eyed in the morning and lovingly cradled and awakened by the silky depth that Mr. Perlman explored with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim ... in this beautiful rendition he made me passionate to learn and yearn! I am excited to share it with everyone I know as a fellow Elgar afficiondo recommended: his music is attuned to ‘smiling through tears.’
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have a passion for meditation/mindfulness practice and Buddhism. If I did not play the violin I would do something that furthered me along that path such as a monastic title. I would also love to write and explore the nature of creativity through investigations of philsophical and political thought. Having many mad scientist friends and/or people that love and are passionate about science within the scope of my reach, I am fascinated by quantum mechanics and how it applies to consciousness from a viewpoint of a child with the mentality of Curious George! I am most in love with yoga, riding bikes and am a wannabe surfer and snowboarder.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite styles of music range from Module Jazz Constructs to Contemporary 80s New Wave Form to Western Classical Music to Folk, Bluegrass and Celtic Paths! I enjoy listening to country music as well as Hiphop R&b classics and electronic music and have a soul crush on singer-songwriters who, to me are, the present-day Schuberts and Schumanns! I love to play with the extremeties of sound and texture within classical music and am inspired by improvisational aspects of multiple genres intermingling together in fusions and worlds and universes and synergies of languages and colors. Poly! Yes!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I do not play another instrument as ordinarily as I do the violin! With immense struggle and the power of intention, I can learn to understand chordal progressions on the piano. I feel it extremely beneficial to explore more than one instrument as one in relationship to the other can trigger and enable a more comprehensive and wholistic understanding of each instrument seperately as well as how they work synchronstically with one another in order to pay homage to one another. I also especially love to SING! I recommend this as a supplement for everyone no matter which instrument one is learning to play and regardless of even playing an instrument that is not so coloquially us.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does not run in my family that I know of officially. My two older brothers played the saxophone snd trumpet and were I feel extremely intuitive and musical and creative. I have a feeling that though music was not apparently streamlined within or among our ancestry gives us no indication that the spirit of music did not spread its wings through the formulations of creativity in various other art forms. Who knows?! I do find that the talent within my immediate family though not taken further than highschool is an indicator of previous successors of an analogous mind stream.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician at the age of nine. I did it through strong intention, hard work, dedication to my craft and parents that supported me not financially but spiritually throughout the journey. It came with much sacrifice and much toil. It also came with enlightened action. I am without a doubt at a crossroads one that I cannot imgine myself at without the depths of deep immediate life that I have experienced through various friendships along the path which I forever have none other to thank but Spirit itself! So forgive me for this last note of immediate spirituality but now I find myself leaving the immediacy of this present moment to take a giant breath of fresh air! To be or not to be? This is the question! Cheers for a wonderful Holiday and BEYOND!
