Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My music leadership experience began with competitive show choir in 8th grade - voted Student of the Year - and these experiences inspired me through high school! The show choir program director appointed me tenor section leader in 9th grade and Voice Captain in 10th grade for my ability to lead voice sectional rehearsals and provide pianist accompaniment when needed. I am currently a performing arts coach for the Anaheim Union High School District, supporting vocal music and dance program directors with clinician and choreography services. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching individuals for the last 4-5 years on and off during my years in NY. The joy I get from seeing a student progress through practice and repetition is extremely gratifying. It is a humbling experience because it takes me back to my earlier days at a pianist, and where I am grown from. I have taught kids, all the way up to adults and have love the appreciation of being able to learn something that they had no idea how to do just the day before. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Fiddle French Horn Piccolo Oboe
I started teaching violin about 15 years ago. A few years later I started teaching viola and cello. When I got to CSULB I started learning all the band instruments. I did some coaching for several years at middle schools and high schools. After that I bought a lot a wind instruments and started to teach wind instruments privately. Playing and teaching each instrument is like entering a different world. Each instrument is special in its own way. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
Depending on previous experience, voice lessons tend to begin with foundations of breathing and relaxing the muscles of the jaw and throat. From there, repertoire is developed based on the long term goals and needs of the student. I have taught piano from the Bastien, Keith Snell and Alfreds Music series, and feel most comfortable when the student is open to my advice about which series would be a good fit for then :-) i also firmly believe that working on material a prospective student loves listening to is paramount!

I have been teaching piano for more than 25 years and my students have been prize winners in local competitions and festivals as performers and composers. Former students have gone on to attend universities such as Cornell, Columbia, Brown and other well known colleges. I am an experienced church organist and accompanist for vocal and instrumental soloists as well as choirs. I am an experienced chamber musician and am the founder and pianist of the Papillons Piano Trio which performs locally. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Music is my life! I'm currently finishing up my Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance at Portland State, and teaching music in the Portland community. I am also very fortunate to be an active performer. I've sung lead and supporting roles in many musicals and operas, and am thrilled to be a part of the internationally renowned Portland State Chamber Choir. In all of my experience I have found that there is nothing as exciting or rewarding as watching the growth of a student in music. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad is a drummer. He was in drumcore and marching band since high school, went to UCLA and continued playing jazz there, and to this very day plauys in a top 40 covers band around the South Bay area.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided in college that i wanted to become a professional. The deciding year for me was 2014 when i took off 6 months of school to practice every single day for 10 hours. During that time I filled in a lot of gaps in my playing and returned to school to graduate with my new dedication to the craft and level of playing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano, guitar and drums. My first instrument was piano, as my parents forced me to learn if i wanted to learn the bass. The piano gave me a strong foundation on harmony and helped me learn how to read music. I picked up the guitar because i thought it would be the same as the bass, but just higher pitched! I was definitely wrong about that. And i learned drums because my dad is a drummer and to this day drums is the main secondary instrumemt, as it helps very directly with bass and my sense of time and feel.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I originally went to college as a biology major in hopes of being an optometrist. I always thought that profession was so appealing because it's a clean and not bloody work space unlike other medical fields.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music to play is gospel! It blends my background in jazz harmony with a lot of RnB and funk (as we know it today) with a higher purpose of playing music. Instead of playing the music to just be at a high level, it is centered around worshipping God and helping others worship. To me, that is as free and expressive as it gets which is what music is all about.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream venue would be the Hollywood Bowl! It's such a staple in the LA community and worldwide. Seeing my friends play it with different artists or at different festivals inspires me to keep aiming for it. I don't care too much about the venue status normally but the Hollywood Bowl is just so iconic, as it was my first experience seeing Earth, Wind, and Fire live.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in jazz studies from the University of California Santa Barbara. I paired this degree with my major in Sociology, as i found that being informed with jazz theory and composition along with communicative and professional skills i learned in my Sociology major work well together in the working world of being a full-time musician.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I try to split up my practice sessions into 3 parts. After hand warm-ups, I start by ear training for about 20 minutes (away from the bass), work through a piece or new harmonic concept I'm trying to learn, and at the end just have fun and play through whatever songs I'm feeling that day!
