Instruments: Piano
An important component in my teaching process is assessment. First I need to understand long-term goals of the student. What does "taking piano lessons" mean to you. If you want to learn piano and go through Bach preludes and Brahms reductions great! But that is not the entire scope of what private lessons can offer an individual. Often the student doesn't know what specifically excites him/her. For younger students especially, broadening horizons is important. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For 5 to 6 year old beginners, I create an individualized lesson plan based on observing the student's learning style, strengths and weaknesses as well as personality. For the first 4 or more lessons, this includes my own big-note, large-symbol work sheets and simple songs. Next, and with older or more advanced students, I use a combination of lesson, technique and performance method books (Faber, Bastien, Hal Leonard), a scale/chording book and adjunct material consisting of songs the student wants to learn such as pop/rock, movie themes, holiday and theme music, and classical, to maintain interest and enjoyment.

My teaching experience started with helping my friends in high school learn piano in the high school piano class. I already had experience and was assigned the role of tutoring my friends. After starting college, I took on a couple of private lessons with beginning students. I graduated from college and started teaching general music at the elementary school level. During my teaching, Ive gained skills of working with children of all ages. Read More

I enjoy playing music with other people, so I would love to share this joyful experience with my students. In 2007, I came to the States for pursuing the Masters degree in Boston and Doctoral degree in Madison. I have had lots of performance opportunity and community engagements. After the engagement with Civic Orchestra of Chicago, I am now excited to bring the joy of playing music to more people. Read More

Piano students: For younger beginners, I like to use the Alfred series. These are the books that I grew up on and I have used them in my own teaching. I like their use of multiple companion books throughout each and every level. For adult beginners, I like to use Alfred's All-In-One adult books, as they feature all of the key elements of the series for younger beginners, simply geared to a more mature learner. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I will then add more performance pieces that they can be proud of performing at recitals, for their friends, etc. I also play games with younger students like music reading flashcards, rhythm video games, and more. For adults, I put a lot of importance on whatever the student wants out of the lesson. If they dont want to learn to read music or want a less formal lesson, then thats okay! Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My biggest tip is SLOW DOWN! if you can’t play the pattern/groove correctly up to speed then you need to lower the tempo and start at a tempo that feels comfortable to you. No matter how advanced a piece of music is, you can always lower the tempo and practice bringing it up until you are up to the tempo of the song. Also another tip ALWAYS practice to a metronome, it doesn’t matter which exercise you’re doing, you have to make sure that you are playing in time. As a drummer our number one job is to be in time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Personally as a drummer myself I feel you should communicate with your child first if they even want to take lessons. Music is universal and can definitely be a hobby, but if you are willing to pay to see them progress I would hope that they have a good mindset about it. Especially if the student is eager to learn this will make him/her start to progress even more quickly. A student that just plain isn’t interested will not see as much progress as a student that is clearly engaged and has an itch to play.
When will I start to see results?
I feel if your student is starting as ground zero you will immediately see results after the first lesson. The basic “Money Beat” is a drum beat that really is the basis for everything on drums. Once the student starts to develop an understanding and is familiar playing the “Money Beat” you will see progress start to sky rocket. With this beat under your belt you will immediately be able to play along to songs by some of the biggest artists in the music industry. With enough patience and determination results will be further from what you could have ever expected.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Both of my Uncles grew up playing drums in the 1980s and ever since I was born in 1997 I was told specifically by them that I would be able to play drums like them. I had always been banging on my Uncle’s drums on weekends until I was 10 years old I got my first drum set. Ever since then I have been playing almost everyday and I still enjoy every second of it. Since graduating high school I realized I needed to get more serious about music and moved to Hollywood to study at Musicians Institute and later receive an associate’s degree.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music is Rock and Roll. Ever since I was a kid my uncle’s have always been showing me new rock bands from the 1980s that I had never heard of and to me it was the best thing I had ever heard. I immedietly grew biased to rock music as a child until I started to develop my craft and grow a love for all styles of music. I definitely am a Rock guy at heart, but I am more than experienced enough to teach all styles of music. Since moving to LA and going to college I have learned more about music than I would have ever thought.
