Instruments: Piano Trumpet
Today we see a decline in schools' support for music programs and it saddens me to see this! Music has always been an outlet for me, and if students don't have a place to learn music or see a passion for it, they won't have a desire to stick with the learning process of an instrument. This is why I try and make my love for music apparent, so that students can be encouraged to love music and learn as well! Read More
Instruments: Piano
As a performer, I was one of the winners of the 2009 SJSU French Music Competition, and one of the finalists of the 2013 BGSU Art Song Competition. In 2012-13, I served as the accompanist of the BGSU Men's Chorus, in which I've had the opportunity to participate in the performnace tour twice through 6 states along the East Coast. I also serve as a church pianist since Feburary 2014. Besides my performing endeavors, I have over 10 years of teaching experience (see My Experience). Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Building my career around very talented Russian and European Violin players, my fundamentals have been very classical but I always keep my lessons very advanced based on my research of changing trends in the music industry. As a young and dynamic performer as well as teacher, my students find my lessons very engaging and fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My musical journey started at a very young age. I would get up and put on my 45's and set up my metal TV tray with pots and pans and away I would go playing the drums along with the records. At 6 my school had a demonstration of instruments. I went home and exclaimed to my parents that I wanted to play Saxophone. After seeing the price they asked if I wanted a guitar. Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar
For piano students: I love to get my students started with the fundamentals of music through hands-on experience with the piano. I want them to explore the instrument and get creative from the get-go! I also want them to understand that: - creating music is fun and easy - music can tell stories - music is more than pushing down keysit is art, which involves dynamics, speed, feeling, etc. - music is made up of chords, patterns and melodies - music can be transposed into different keys At the first lesson, I show my students how to sit properly at the piano and use their arms, wrists and fingers correctly.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Organ Ukulele Electric Violin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar
Throughout years of teaching I began making every lesson unique in a way that would benefit the student the most. The number one goal is for the student to have fun and learn at the same time. I was taught in a very rigorous fashion by high level teachers. I know what it means to look forward to coming to class. I love teaching because it lets me avoid the mistakes my teachers made in the past when it came my time to learn music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I learn by doing and I believe that my students should play what inspires them! If it's classical, let's study Bach and Mozart together - if it's Latin, let's study Dave Valentin and Johnny Pacheco. I have always had a broad taste in music and I think it's wonderful when students bring me songs that inspire them. Let's work the chords out together and study the greats! I believe that the engaged student will be the successful student. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The two key factors to efficient practice are self discipline, and maintaining a practice environment with minimal distractions. Avoid having things around you such as television, loud noises, electronics, cell phones, etc.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Kids should be introduced to music as early as possible. The sooner they are introduced to it regularly, the sooner their brain starts to develop a sense of melody and pitch recognition. However, most students don’t have an attention span for music lesssons until around the age of 6-7. Lessons at an earlier age are definitely possible and can never hurt! The younger they start, the more “natural” most will be in the long run. For example, a person who learns rhythm at 5 years old will tend to have “naturally” better rhythm in the long run than that of somebody who doesn’t study it until they’re 13. But, the younger a child is, the less attention span they have for focused learning. In my personal experience, the best time to start kids in music lessons is after they have experienced one year in a social learning environment, such as kindergarten.
When will I start to see results?
This varies for all musicians. When it comes to seeing results, the number one thing to always remember is that the more you practice, the better you get and the quicker you get there. After all, practice makes perfect! If you stick to a strict practice schedule, for example 30 minutes of practice a day, you will begin seeing some results within the week. However, if you practice for thirty minutes twice a day, you'll see results even quicker! Another important thing to remember is that everybody learns at a different rate. Don't get discouraged if you're not seeing major results as quickly as you hope to. Music requires patience and work. If you have both of those, the results will happen!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every music teacher I have ever had inspired me to be a better musician. In my experience, nothing inspires a student more than a accomplished, enthusiastic instructor. My college instructors accompishments inspire me by showing that music is NOT a dead end road. It is an industry that 100% depends upon your work ethic. They have proven to me that you can make it anywhere you want in this industry, just depending on how much you’re willing to work for it! But most importantly, I’ve been inspired by their enthusiasm. Music is only a for the people who love every second of it. Being taught by somebody twice my age with an undying love for music has inspired me by knowing that as long as I love what I’m doing, I’ll never “work” a day or my life and I will always have the opportunity to spread the knowledge and love of music performance/education.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For my entire life, my dad has been a guitar player. My earliest memories consist of listening to my dad play over Van Halen and Ozzy Osborne albums. When I was fourteen years old, I fell in love with the catchy riffs and melodic, shredding guitar solos by Synyster Gates (lead guitar player for Avenged Sevenfold) and that’s when I decided to pick up the guitar. I instantly fell in love with playing. Living under the same roof as an accomplished player like my dad and constantly working on learning new A7X and GNR songs, I never wanted to put it down. As a classical music nerd as well,the guitar is the most versatile instrument for my taste. I can play anything from Bach and Mozart to Van Halen and Guns N Roses all on the same instrument.
