My focus with each student is to tune into them in a way that I can then assess their physical, mental and emotional abilities. I ask each student what they want to learn with their instrument. If they do not know, we then start with the basics to establish a solid foundation in music with their instrument. Along the way, I ask the student what kind of music they like. Read More

Typically, I favor using traditional curriculum for beginning students (Alfred, Faber, Bastian). As a student progresses we typically incorporate Clemeneti sonatinas and the students favorite pop/modern songs. When a student achieves an advanced level of difficulty curriculum is purchased depending on the student's goals, college aspirations, and learning objectives. I typically administer a Classical Method of education, whether in private lessons or the classroom. It is my hope that time in my classroom encourages dialectic conversation and reaps gains in every learning situation. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Find a time of day where you have the most energy and free time, and commit to setting aside at least 10 minutes per day to your practice. Consistency really is key! Target the trickiest sections of your music to begin with, and finish by playing through your most favorite parts. Even practicing should be fun!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child's interest in and passion for music are the biggest indicators that they are ready for lessons! Ability to focus for up to an hour at a time is important to begin, but the biggest thing that creates a productive, successful learning environment is the student's desire to be present and learn.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to pursue music throughout my life. Each one shared their own passion for music, sparking the fire within me in turn. Their impressive skills as well as their constant encouragement inspired me to improve, and gave me the desire to be a positive mentor for my students today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't remember a time when I didn't love to sing! It is a unique and exhilarating experience to have your own voice as your instrument and means of expression. There is nothing I love more than conveying a message and bringing joy to people through singing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My favorite musical accomplishment has to be winning the title of Choir of the World with my college choir at the 2015 International Eistedfodd in Wales! To share a stage with so many talented choirs from all over the world and to hear their musical offerings was a life changing opportunity. Taking the title was just the cherry on top of an incredible experience!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would likely be a counselor or therapist. I love working with people one-on-one and helping them to live in alignment with their happiest, most successful selves.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to sing is Musical Theatre! I have trained in MT longer than any other style, but it is the stories, characters, and great opportunity for emotional expression through the text and music that gives me such enjoyment.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My late grandmother (Lola, as my Filipino side calls her) was my earliest music teacher. When I was 6 years old, she sat me down and taught me everything she knew on the piano. It wasn't much, but enough to light a fire in me to keep learning and eventually go on to singing. It was my dad, who used to be the lead singer of a rock band in the 70s, who showed me all kinds of music and shared his love of self-expression through singing. He's still my favorite duet partner to this day!
