Instruments: Piano Voice
Hello, I am currently Artist Diploma voice student at Cleveland Institute of Music. I had my Bachelor in Shanghai Conservatory of Music. I studied piano for over 10 years. I always did some accompaniment in China. I taught piano in China and in Cleveland and voice at CSA. I performed in many operas at school also with opera company. I love to share my knowledge to students who would like to study music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I like to tailor my approach to make music FUN for my students. I don't want them to ever think practice is a chore. My students don't "work" their insturments, they "play" them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon
I am a passionate and patient instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2000 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Instrumental Music Education, with a focus on Euphonium. I have worked as a long term sub in middle school band and have taught privately since that time. I currently work outside the education field, but still enjoy sharing music with those who want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tailor my method selection to suit the needs of the student. With so many wonderful methods out there, what it comes down to is what will help the student learn the most! I highly emphasize Music Theory and Aural Skills; I believe that students should understand what they are playing. This understanding leads to more accurate performances and more solid memorization skills. I try to keep the student's musical education moving forward steadily at whatever pace the student learns best. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello
When i start a beginner student, i like to use either Essential Elements or Suzuki for violin and cello. For piano, i like to use the Faber method books. As the student progresses with either instrument, I try to encourage them to continue with scales and to move up in their playing abilities and music reading. I try to mix it up for my students and ask them what they like to play just to keep them interested. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I encourage and explain aspects of music theory in addition to playing techniques in lessons. I like to find out what kind of music my students really enjoy and I integrate that into my lessons. Seeing my students succeed is a very rewarding experience and I tailor my lessons to ensure that sense of progress and accomplishment is developed every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am very patient and responsibe teacher. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction on their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do not use specific methods or books that I use. My teaching style and the music selected for each student is purely based on the needs and goals of the student. My goal is to always challenge the student while allowing them to feel a sense of accomplishment.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, I prefer to teach students who are in their teens because their voice has started to mature. I am comfortable teaching students as young as 10, where basic musicianship and music fundamentals are introduced..
When will I start to see results?
This varies among students and their stage of development. Most students will not see results immediately. It takes time to train the voice. However, with smart and consistent practice, growth can be seen within the first weeks of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir teacher inspired me to pursue music. She was always encouraging and support my goals in every way possible. I hope to be like her as a teacher and make an impact on my students' lives.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream performance would be a concert of Britten's Canticles. I believe they are each powerful works of art that brilliantly display the story each tells.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
All of my degrees are in performance. I simply love to perform. Whether I'm singing in an ensemble of 40 or giving a solo performance being on stage is one of my passions. Performing music allows me to express emotions or share a message with a greater population.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I began singing in my high school choir, but I did not take my first voice lesson until I began my undergraduate studies.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice efficiently, one should practice every day. Practices should begin with both a full body and vocal warm up, which includes stretches, breathing exercises, and other vocalises to prepare the body to sing. When practicing a technique or learning new music, "slow and steady wins the race!" This will ensure than good habits are being built into the instrument and the techniques and music are accurately learned.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Coordination of all of the moving parts is the hardest part to master. The voice is a complex instrument, and when a new technique is introduced, another may suffer. Learning how to balance each aspect is a challenge, yet very rewarding.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably be a travel agent. I love to see the world and experience new cultures! I try to travel when there is free time in my schedule.
