Instruments: Piano Voice Music
For students earlier in their journeys, I do believe a practical understanding of music and basic theory is fundamental to unlock both the art and the science of performing. After warm up exercises that help acquire the vocabulary and sonic principles of agile musicianship, I would immediately dive into material that the student finds engaging and personal! I am an advocate for storytelling in the arts first, with mechanical technique and instruction used as vehicles to empower the pure love of expression! Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I have been playing drums for 10 years and piano for 7. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance and am currently earning an A.A in Jazz Studies at Saddleback Community College and plan to pursue an M.M following completion where I hope to teach K-13 . I have performed in various Jazz/Blues & Classical collegiate groups across Southern California. I especially enjoy teaching beginning & intermediate students both children and adult. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, I focus on building a solid foundation of vocal technique (including: breath, resonance, posture, register, and diction). We build this foundation through singing pieces that the student is familiar with and lots of vocal exercises. At the same time, I like to introduce basic music theory concepts. I typically start with Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course Theory. Upon grasping and understanding fundamentals, I will begin to introduce repertoire from different styles of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
My teaching experience dates back to my high school, where I started mentoring younger kids and leading brass sectionals at my local high school. Throughout college, I began acquiring more students ranging from locals to fellow college students who were interested in picking up the trumpet as either a hobby or a secondary instrument. For my younger students, I've always tried to put a heavy emphasis on playing every day and starting with very basic, short exercises that help them quickly progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Suzuki Piano: also called the mother-tongue method. The method is modeled after the way the way children learn their native language, with an emphasis on exposure to the music being learned via listening to a recording. Note reading is not neglected, though earliest pieces are learned "by ear." The Suzuki philosophy is "Every Child Can" (learn to play). Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I enjoy playing classical music for its intricate compositions and technical challenges, my favorite genre is gospel. I love gospel music because it allows for a communal experience where we can all sing together and uplift each other through powerful messages. The joy and emotion in gospel music create a unique connection that makes every performance special!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I believe I would have pursued a career as a teacher or a counselor. I’ve always had a passion for helping others, and I still have a strong interest in teaching and counseling. Nevertheless, by giving lessons, I am also a teacher, and through making music together in my students' lives, I provide a form of counseling—not with words, but through rhythms and notes. I am actively seeking opportunities to learn more about these fields so I can further develop professionally and continue making a positive impact in people’s lives.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me typically begins with a warm-up to get my fingers and breath working. I usually spend about 10-15 minutes on long tones and scales to build my sound and technique. After that, I focus on specific repertoire or pieces I’m currently preparing, breaking them down into sections to work on difficult passages. I like to incorporate a mix of classical and modern pieces, as this keeps my practice engaging and helps me explore different musical styles. Additionally, I spend some time improvising or playing along with backing tracks to develop my creativity and musicality. I always aim to reflect on my progress at the end of the session, making notes on areas to improve for next time. Overall, my practice sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing me to adapt based on my needs and goals.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a Master of Music degree in Flute Performance from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance with a concentration in Music Education from the New England Conservatory of Music. I chose to pursue Performance because I have always been passionate about sharing music with others and expressing emotions through my playing. The artistry and technical skills involved in performance have always captivated me. Additionally, my concentration in Music Education reflects my commitment to teaching and inspiring the next generation of musicians. I believe that music has the power to connect people and transform lives, and I want to be a part of that journey for my students.
