Instruments: Piano
Teaching piano has been a continual experience for me that initially began as a part time venture. For the last 10 years, I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with students of all ages.

Whether it's classical or broadway, I work with all of my students to enhance their understanding of the world through musical expression! Read More

I focused on piano but eventually went on to accompany choirs and violin. After graduating from Silla University, I continued teaching both violin and piano lessons in the United States. I enjoys teaching children and encourages lots of parental involvement. I use performance as a tool for motivation by having students put on in-home and group recitals often. I love working with my students and helping them to thrive through music, i find the perfect balance between music study and fun! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
My goal is to show students the joy and benefit of music in our everyday lives. To enjoy your own music, you have to practice. Nothing is important than practice. Practice! Practice! Practice! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. To achieve certain progress, I always give some homework for practice and encourage to do it. Especially younger students, I encourage their parents check homework together. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My background is partly as a local performer, and partly as a long-time music teacher. Teaching has allowed me to make thousands of meaningful connections with my students, both as a mentor and instructor, and has given my life purpose and meaning for over 15 years. Music in general has also allowed me to travel across the country, and given me the opportunity to experience the wonderful music of talented musicians both young and old, and has instilled in me a passion to put as much of that into the world as possible.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I see myself as a facilitator, helping students discover new elements of music and music theory and building upon those to create a greater understanding of reading and playing music both for piano and voice. Often i will model by playing a song first so that the student cannot not only hear what is sounds like but observe my technique, finger changes, dynamic ranges, tempo and so on. There are many elements to performing a piece besides just playing the correct notes! Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am extremely proud of my Master of Music in Flute Performance and being selected to study in the studio of legendary flutist Robert Willoughby during my graduate studies. I was also extremely honored to be selected as Principal Flute for the National Wind Ensemble which performed at Carnegie Hall.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved the sound of the flute when I would watch the Boston Pops with my grandparents. As a fifth grader I was also drawn to the compact size of the case and the fact that it was easy to carry around.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe that one of the most effective ways to practice is to work on the material in small manageable sections. Within each section it’s important to identify which parts are the most challenging. Once identified begin by working slowly on the difficult part making sure that notes and rhythms are accurate. At the end of your practice session trying playing the whole section that you worked on and see if it feels better to play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is showing a strong interest in learning an instrument I believe beginning lessons with a qualified instructor from day one is extremely important. These lessons will allow your child to start off learning to play the instrument with the proper way to produce a tone as well as helping them learn the proper technique for playing their instrument.
When will I start to see results?
It is important to remember that in order to see the maximum results from lessons your child needs to be practicing their lesson assignments for the time period suggested by the teacher each day. Consistent practice accompanied with weekly lessons will provide the maximum result. Results will be much slower if your child is not practicing in between lessons. Every child is different however you should notice results after the first full month of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was fortunate to have many influential teachers throughout my musical life. I began playing the flute in fifth grade band and from the moment I picked up the flute I was hooked. After trying several activities as a child and not really finding one where I fit in, I was thrilled to find band. It was early middle school when I decided that I wanted to pursue music for my career. It was the combined dedication of all of my teachers that helped me make that decision.
