It is important and rewarding for both me and the student to have a passion for their music and learning. Because of this, it is important to me that each student sets their own goals.

And I love to have fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
My teaching style is flexible. One of my teachers asked me up front how hard I wanted him to be on me and thats something we would go over as well. Its important I learn the personality and learning style of the student. Its important to establish a trust and understanding so as not to take criticisms personally so that we can develop weaknesses and build on strengths. Every musician has different strengths and weaknesses my goal is to help them achieve their best musical self to grow their confidence and be as fully realized as possible. Read More

Music has taken me to see places of the world I would have never been, music has given me some of the coolest jobs in my life. Playing organ for the San Jose Sharks NHL team was a dream come true, and I am still the youngest person to have held that job in the NHL. They still use all of my recordings. I went to the Virgin Islands last year to perform with a band on New Year's Eve, total paradise all to enjoy just for playing some music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Since my teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun, I tailor each lesson according to the student's age and interests. For young beginners, I choose method books that contain fun songs. I also teach music theory through story telling. For older students, I tailor each lesson according to their interests.However, I encourage them to learn Classical music, so that students develop good musicality. My goal is that all my students enjoy music for the rest of their lives. Read More

Instruments: Piano
It's been my strong belief that every student is unique in all aspects - it is my responsibility to recognize the uniqueness of the student, and individualize the lesson for each student's need. I am familiar with multiple methods - the most common ones include Alfred Basic Library, PIano Adventures, Music Tree, and Piano Safari; other methods include Bastien Piano Basics, Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, and many others. I use different methods with different students - decisions are usually made after the initial interview or when I have sufficient observation of the student's learning style, background, and personality.

Instruments: Piano Voice
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play new music. It is often in a strange key, time signature, etc and I like the challenge. I like to perform a lot of Jake Heggie, Samuel Barber, John Corgliano, composers like that who push the boundaries of music. I have found that not as many people follow this repertoire as closely as I do, and that I am often the first performer they hear doing the piece. This is fun for me, since my voice will be the initial background they have with the piece. It also puts pressure on me though that my performance needs to be nearly flawless so that the pieces are done justice.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano and sing as well. The second instrument for me was my voice. About a year after I began playing piano my church music director approached my family and let them know she was starting a kids choir and that she would love to have me join since she heard me sing along during mass numerous times. After that, I started in the kids choir and have been singing ever since. Keeping with it was also because of her. She encouraged me to come back and perform each time she started up the kids choir and made a teen choir for me and a few other singers who were too old for kids choir but too young for the adult choir.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs on my dad's side of the family. He and my Grandfather have been in choirs for years and many of my Aunt's sing as well in church choir settings. My dad at one point even wanted to be a Disk Jockey on the radio. He has a huge passion for music, my Grandfather did as well. Because they knew the church director from singing with her I was able to join the children's choir and get into music myself. My dad also played Flute for a few years when he was younger and my mom played clarinet when she was younger.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician after my second year of my undergraduate studies. I interned at a hospital and realized I didn't want to work in medicine and my other passion was music so it was an easy choice. I was already pursuing a general music degree, so switching to performance wasn't too hard. The decision was definitely made after a defining moment and was not something that came up gradually. Until that internship at the hospital I had wanted to be a doctor since I was in elementary school and then it all changed.
