Instruments: Piano Oboe
From 2015 until recently, I had experience teaching in music schools in NYC and the Bay Area in California. As of 2019 Fall, I quit my teaching jobs at music schools in order to develop my own teaching styles and create various performance opportunities for my students with restrictions, Currently, I teach in a Kawaii piano store, an after school piano program, student's home, and in a private studio, and teach around 45 students per week!

Instruments: Piano Voice
Music has taken me to see places of the world I would have never been, music has given me some of the coolest jobs in my life. Playing organ for the San Jose Sharks NHL team was a dream come true, and I am still the youngest person to have held that job in the NHL. They still use all of my recordings. I went to the Virgin Islands last year to perform with a band on New Year's Eve, total paradise all to enjoy just for playing some music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I said yes. I started lesson at 6 with a local teacher that would come around to all the kids in my neighborhood. I took lesson for 6 years and then went on to explore sports. At 18 I went back to my guitar and relearned by myself all the lessons I had gone through. I also started taking lesson at a local music store and I attended the college of San Mateo and took 4 semesters of Theory and musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Organ Synthesizer
Hi, I am a pianist, composer, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist originally from upstate New York. I am passionate about all of the above, but I consider teaching to be the most immediately rewarding. In 2008 I completed my degree in music at the State University of New York in Fredonia. Shortly afterwards, I made a journey to the west coast and found a home in the SF bay area. I got involved in the vibrant music scene as quick as possible and played with as many different types of musicians as I could find. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
Trombone - I utilize the books Abrams and Rochut-Melodious Etudes. I develop custom curriculum for each students level and learning style. At the first lesson, I evaluate what the student wants to get out of the lessons, what sparks their interests in music, and skill level. From there, I share exercises from the books, exercises I create for developing certain skills, and later on, creation or exercises by the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. I require practice be done in between lessons so that we are not practicing during lesson time, which slows progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching private voice for three years, and feel like I truly thrive when I'm sharing my knowlege of music and performance. At Colorado State University I taught a to wide range of students and styles from freshmen voice majors, choral conducting graduate students, theater majors, voice minors, and even a couple aspiring folk/country singers! I also taught a Fundamentals of Music Theory course to over 100 non-music majors, covering reading music, piano basics, intro to harmony, the physics of music and the psychology of music. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
No distractions! If you want to get the most out of your practice, you need to be serious when you practice. No messing around on your phone during "Chop breaks". Stay focused and encouraged to play better all of the time!
Crave progress! It is difficult to step back and analyze our own progress sometimes. Practicing over and over without ever realizing the effects it has on your sound and performance ability, can be mentally and physically draining. Be honest with yourself and ask, "Is this better than it was last week?" "Do my parents/friends/fans hear my progress?"
THE ANSWER IS YES!! Stay motivated, focused, and determined to be the best!!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Does your child have the physical capability to press the buttons/keys/pads?
If so, then they are ready!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
"Because it only had 3 buttons and that meant it was easy"
Little did I know, I was verrrry wrong. Since I have realized how difficult the trumpet is, I have learned to crave that difficulty. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than working so hard on developing a certain skill on the trumpet just to see it finally pay off in a performance.
In addition, trumpet is such a versatile instrument. You can play so many different genres of music and tailor your tone and sound and articulations to any genre or style and enjoy ALL of them!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
RANGE! Expanding ones range on the trumpet is vital to their mastery of the instrument yet it is incredibly difficult to be able to play very high AND very low within the same piece and be able to control the instrument and those notes every step of the way. In my experience, many trumpeters are EITHER incredible lower register players or incredible higher register players. It is very rare that I meet/play with a trumpeter who has mastered the highs and the lows because it is NOT easy. It takes serious discipline and knowledge of how the instrument works.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I majored in Music Business Management. I loved it. I love music and I want to be more involved in the industry as a businessman rather than a performer. I want to have more influence on the future of the industry and how it functions to support great music and its creators.
I am currently making the most out of my degree by helping artists connect with industry professionals such as booking agents/managers/publishers/label reps, etc...
I really enjoy the "behind the scenes" work of a business professional.
