Instruments: Piano Voice
Music is the most beautiful thing in my life, and I love sharing music with others by teaching and performing. I received my Bachelors and Masters degree from Taiwan where I grew up, and I came to the US and received my Graduate Performance Diploma from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in 2011 and my Doctor of Musical Arts from the Catholic University of America in 2017. I have performed in the US, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Japan. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I know that performance is an important part of learning an instrument so I offer bi-annual recitals as well as an opportunity to play at an annual festival for adjudication and to enter in competitions for cash awards and scholarships. I also believe that no student is too old to learn music! You can learn at any age, I am always looking to take on new students and share with them my love of music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
The foundation of my teaching is based on listening, which sounds simple. But, it's not always easy! The awareness needed to listen mindfully will set the foundation to enable students to make informed musical decisions on their own. Additionally, practicing is an art form in and of itself, and it's much more than playing pieces over and over again. Practicing efficiently requires listening, of course, and problems solving skills. In addition to presenting the fundamental skills of music making, I address the aspects needed to make informed decisions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I use traditional method for the students who like to pursue classical music and I teach modern music for those who are not so interested in classical music. Even though I use Suzuki method for violin, I emphasize sight reading and theory. For Suzuki students, I encourage them to memorize whole book and perform before move onto next level. For the young students and beginners, I strongly recommend parents observe the lessons so that they can support and help students to practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano
I am pretty new to teaching, since I started at around August of 2017. I taught for around one year in my senior year of high school, and had to leave for college during summer of 2018. I taught students at any place they were convenient with: sometimes at my studio, sometimes at their homes. I loved teaching when I first started. I am mostly focused on classical music, but teaching students helped me understand many more genres of music. Read More

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. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Ten minutes a day. No matter what. It doesn’t have to be moving mountains, or anything crazy. But it does have to be completely focused. And just be aware of what happens in those ten minutes, and you will, over time, notice progress.
Also, recording your lessons can be extremely helpful! If you go back and listen to an adjustment you’re given by your teacher and begin to notice the quality to your sound adjusting, you can be reminded of what your teacher instructed you to do to arrive at that point and put it into practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They have demonstrated intense interest, and responsiveness to music. They appear to be at an age where they have the focus and drive to really work at something that could take a while to gain a grasp of. And if they show that they genuinely love it, and are passionate about growing and learning more about singing. So, have a conversation and just ask “is this something you could see yourself having a lot of fun doing and that would make you excited?” Because that’s what makes a disciplined musician in my eyes, someone who practices because it’s fun and exciting.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results when you stop looking for them. There’s something pyschological about singing that although you have to be diligent in lessons and apply the corrections and learn proper technique, all that changes once you have an audience in front of you or you just start singing more often and to more people. Once you have practiced pretty steadily and begin to trust that you are understanding the concepts, you can begin to really see how your foundation has become solid and your practice has paid off!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes; every voice teacher I have had has given me an incredible gift of using my voice. Not only to sing, but to express what I felt and to communicate. Singing is an amazing way to tell stories, express emotion, and connect with an audience. My voice teachers made sure that as much time we spent on technique, we spent on understanding the lyrics I was singing and why I was singing. Making sure it was important enough to have people see and listen to. Also, all my teachers were also performers and I got to watch them practice what they preached.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because I came from a household that loved vocalists. Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Luciano Pavoratti, Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Celine Deon, The Beatles were all in the background playing as I grew up. I really started to sing a long at an early age. I began doing theatre as well and learned they could be done together and tell really important stories through song and fell in love with it. I joined choir in 3rd grade and have been singing ever since and began voice lessons when I was 13 years old and began to grow and expand my technique.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of becoming a finalist in the Hal Leonard College Musical Theatre Competition. To have made it to the finals in a nation wide voice competition singing music I loved was a wonderful experience, and I also got to watch the other contestants and see their love for this material as well. I felt so seen and like I was on the right track in my vocal practice and making sure I was still expressing myself clearly and truthfully in singing. It is work I love doing and continuing to learn and grow into.
