Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I have been working with piano and voice students for more than 20 years. My students came from different cultures and backgrounds. Teaching young piano students is my specialty. Many kids are struggling with focus and discipline, so piano is a tool to improve their focus and discipline. Playing Piano is multi tasks, because pianists are reading two different clefs at the same time plus handling the paddle. It takes a great deal of coordination. Read More

I see teaching as a gateway to help students express their creativity, while incorporating a disciplined approach to help them achieve more from challenged in life in general. i don't simply field song requests, I also explain to my students the inner workings of why certain musical concepts work, why the artist may have chosen that and how you as the student can incorporate these creative ideas into your own compositions.

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Instruments: Piano Voice
Having pursued music from a young age, my experiences as a vocal soloist and choir member have brought me all over the world, performing in such musical landmarks as the Sydney Opera House, Smetana Hall, and Carnegie Hall. I grew up learning both voice and piano, and my musical education has provided me more confidence and opportunities in all aspects of life than I ever could have imagined. I began teaching while pursuing my undergraduate degree in California and have since expanded my studio to include a wide spectrum of ages, styles, and experience levels.In 2012, I received my BA in Music with an emphasis in classical voice from Pepperdine University and have since gone on to complete my MM in Voice Performance from The Boston Conservatory.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer
I always ask first what the student is looking to gain from these lessons, what pieces will he be interested in learning and who are his favorite composers. If that doesn't yield much, I will try to discover what are the student's interests and will try to approach him in a language that will excite him. Teachers need to be able to either keep the flame of the student going, or polish that flame. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I have had a lot of teachers in my life and I learned a lot from every one of them not only about playing, but also about delivering information. Since the early days I was developing as a teacher as I was developing as a drummer. Already when I was studying at the Amsterdam Conservatory other fellow students asked me for advices on how to play and practice more efficiently. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Synthesizer Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn Acoustic Guitar
For my beginning piano students, I emphasize the twelve major and minor scales with proper fingering, first one octave and then two octaves. These exercises strengthens fingers and create more familiarity with the keyboard. I use the book, Level 1 The Older Beginner Piano Course by James Bastien and the companion book, Musicianship for the Older Beginner. I have seen results when these books are used in tandem. The student increases in technique and start to master music theory simultaneously. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is any piece that I helped create, either through commissioning a composer, or through collaboration. I love to make music with my friends, colleagues, students, and fellow musicians. One of the greatest things about music is that is transcends language, boundaries, borders, and walls. When you create music as a group, there is a collective feeling of joy and as a result, music is born into the world: as a soloist performing music someone wrote for me, a brass quintet collaborating with amazing players, or with a huge orchestra, bringing a mass of sound to life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musican, I would be an animator. I love cartoons. When I was growing up, my father worked as an art dealer for Disney, Warner Brothers, and Universal. I was surrounded by art and grew up drawing. I initially wanted to pursue a career as an animator before I discovered music. I have a very artistic mind, so I have always been drawn to the act of creation and art. One of my hopes for the future is to animate as a hobby and get good enough to bring animation to the music I create and record.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is funk/R&B. Much of my training in jazz and theory comes into play in this style. Creative chords progressions meet overwhelmingly groovy rhythms. Many professional musicians who play funk and R&B are incredible technicians on their instruments and can play any style they want. They choose funk or R&B for the creative freedom that the music brings through collective improvisation. Each voice is important in this style, but each part meshes together to make something fun.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As stated previously, my first instrument was French horn. I began playing in private lessons in the 3rd grade, a year before band was offered in elementary school. As a result, when I joined the 4th grade band, I was well ahead of the class and found myself bored and yearning for a challenge. I picked up the trumpet, thinking that learning a new instrument would bring my this challenge. Little did I know, it would spark an appetite to create every unique sound that instruments have to offer. I added trombone, electric bass, guitar, tuba, piano, saxophone, flute, clarinet, euphonium, ukulele, and others soon after.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
This is an interesting question. In my family, music skipped a generation. My maternal grandmother was a piano player and loved to play tango and popular music from her time. My mother and father both never played an instrument, even still. My three siblings and I all play at least one instrument, my sisters mainly being singers, and my brother being a saxophone and piano player who learned guitar later on. Though none of them pursued music like I did, they were all involved in ensembles in college and still hold that lifelong love of music that comes from playing and practicing.
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 sometime in middle school. I just found that music was something I was very good at, to the point where I felt my mind was meant for it. I was never great with math or language, never very good at sports. I just could not see myself as a businessman, doctor, or lawyer, at that age. When I found a talent and love of music, I decided that's what I wanted to spend my life doing. Teaching music became a passion once I was in high school working for a private lesson studio.
