Instruments: Piano
Teaching is my passion! Currently I work as a teacher at Washington Japanese school and other music organization and am very comfortable to work for kids. I love to find their music talent and develop their piano skill and expression. I gained my piano skill by taking 12 year private lessons. My piano and Russian language skill enabled me to work with Russian musicians. Especially in 1996 I worked as an interpreter/assistant for Master class lessons by Prof. Read More

I have been teaching, recording, producing, and performing music since I was 14. I have 60 productions, currently from a 3 piece band, and perform across the Triangle.

I also played with Payne’s Chapel Gospel, Women’s, Men’s, and Mass Choirs from age 13 until 26. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I find my greatest joy in sharing music! I'm currently working on a Professional Jazz Guitar Certificate from the Berklee Academy of Music Online, but I have been studying as many genres as I am able to over the years. I love performing and having jam sessions with my friends, and I love meeting new musicians! I was performing in Southern Maryland but recently moved around the D.C area to begin my professional teaching career. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically Start with Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber. Once student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for the recital performance. For adults, if student is beginner, I usually start with Alfreds Adult Beginner book. If adult student already learned basic and start lessons again, I try to find out what the student is interested in. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
An audio clip of the 2 songs is available at the Ivory Tunes website. I also taught myself to play guitar at age 12. In fact some of the 7 songs I have completed were originally developed in guitar format. My preference guitar style is fingerstyle acoustic. I also possess 15 years experience as a very and successful USPTA tennis instructor and coach. I work routinely with ages 5 through 18 age level kids and teach the Game to adults as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
For all students I strongly encourage an appropriate level to begin with. I am very familiar and prefer to teach with the James Bastien series. This series come with the appropriate assigned age level. There are four books with each level. A technic, theory, performance, and Piano. While progressing through that level I mix in to teach Major, Minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor scales for theory and fundamentals. Other than this specific material I like to match personalities along with solos and other fun activities! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My private teaching experience dates back to my late high school years and after I graduated from college I began to teach professionally and I also include a wider range of instrumentations. I specialized in woodwinds and I can also teach novice piano and brass instruments as well. In my seven years of teaching experiences, I had helped many students with their auditions and musical growth. Some of them made All-State and/or junior All-State, many students made into All-County bands. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was entirely by accident. I loved music as a kid, and I was trying to learn how to play the guitar. I was 21, and I was strumming a guitar in the garage of my friends house, his dad had told me I was strumming really hard on the guitar. He told me, I should try the bass. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with the instrument. Eventually I moved on to upright bass when I had the money and skills to play the instrument.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Well it's number of musical accomplishments I am really proud of. The first being in the pit band for Cypress College's rendition of "Grease". The theater department had wanted to perform "Grease" in 2018, and I had been performing with their jazz ensemble. The leader of our ensemble gave the job to play bass for the pit band, and it was an amazing experience. I got to work with phenomenal musicians, see the incredible actors, dance and act, and hear the roar of the crowd during the really exciting pieces. Another accomplishment, I am proud of is receiving a scholarship from Friends of Jazz, during my days of community college. I had doing well in the jazz ensemble I was in, transcribing the music we had been given, and the band director took notice. I didn't know at the time but he had signed me up for the scholarship, and I was incredibly grateful. It was for 400 dollars, and made me feel I could really make some money and receive acclaim for my musical skills. Even though it's not really considered a musical accomplishment, but transferring to a university in music performance for me feels like an accomplishment. I am really proud of the work I have done, and I have never imagined I would be able to transfer to a university for music, on top of that, I am also receiving some scholarship money for my music studies.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first upright bass teacher was Roger Shew. When I was at my community college, I wanted to take lessons so I emailed Mr. Shew so I could begin taking my lessons. Seeing him play with ease all of the things he taught and told me to work on was incredibly inspiring. He doubled on both jazz and classical studies. He had the best walking bass line feel I have ever listened to, and could effortlessly play with a bow, classical or jazz music. Mr. Shew made me want to be a better musician, and I did my best every day to improve. Unfortunately, he passed two years ago and I was deeply heartbroken. I miss him everyday and I wish to pass down the important information he gave me onto my future students. I am currently taking lessons with the incredible Luther Hughes, who has had a phenomenal career as a jazz bassist and I hope I can teach the information that he has given me and pass it down to future students.
