Instruments: Piano Guitar
Flowing between the presentation of new information and the actual active playing music is very important to the way I conduct lessons. Especially for the young, I place much more emphasis on facilitating musical experiences rather than the integration of musical nomenclature and conceptualization. When we learn to speak, our ears guide us first, and we imitate. Writing and reading comes later. I've found that this pertains to music as well, if not even moreso. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Music Keyboard
I don't have any experience at this time but I think that it is very important to get a regular constant practice schedule so that they can understand and practice the key points that were taught to them. I will give the students some classical music and modern music because I know that it will help the students learn if they play something they would like to play. I want the students to have fun with their playing as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I will organize a manageable number of tasks for duration of each lesson to my students. Then, I will determine the progress of the students by assigning them with appropriate tasks to practice plus music theory. It is more rewarding when seeing my students grow and love what they are learning. My teaching style is to teach them by their character and learning pace. By tailoring what my students' ability to learn music skills, I am more prone to teach what they can achieve in their every lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele
My methods of teaching cater to the students interests and strengths. I use material and songs that the students want to learn. I draw the learning from these pieces of art. I also use Suzuki, Hal Leonard and Bastien piano materials. My specialty is popular, sacred, arias, jazz and folk music. I create diversity in my lessons and keep them fun and exciting. In my lessons, I teach body mechanics, proper vocal warm ups as well as piano exercises and drills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private piano lessons part time 10 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that finding the genre the student likes can go a long way in helping them enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

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 Trumpet
I am passionate when it comes to music and I believe it is an essential part of life. Students should have some form of music in there life because of the positive effects it has on the mental state. I have played trumpet for twelve years, during this time I have played in several ensembles such as; ACSI Honor Band, ACSI Honor Orchestra, University of the Pacific Concert Band, U.O.P's Pep Band etc. 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.
