Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet
I have the goal of helping students look at music the way I do: with passion and inspiration. I encourage students to open their minds and set goals for themselves. For example, I would ask them the question, "By playing music, what do you want to accomplish?" I have asked this question to myself many times throughout my life thus far, and it has worked because I have accomplished so much. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet French Horn Piccolo
My vocal methods are rooted in bel canto style with a strong Melocchi technique using standard repertoire from art songs to stage to develop any voice in preparation for various styles of song. My goal is to help my students go from a singer to a vocalist so that they understand their instrument to be able to create any music as needed. As a piano method I draw from the FABER & FABER method books in addition to online repertoire resources from the standard piano literature varying in styles and difficulties from classical to the four chord structures used in many of today's popular songs and arrangements.

Music is for self expression, but it is also an art. I am not a competitive musician. When we improve, I believe it's because we compete with ourselves, and improve on our own terms. At the same time, if you are competing for a concert chair, recital etc., we'll set solid goals to get you to where you need to be. No matter your skill level, I'll introduce something that you enjoy and in a style you love. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
Out of college and newly married, I began teaching both piano and flute. When babies came along, I focused on them instead. But after they were grown, I went back into music headlong! I became involved in a lot of performing as well as a lot of teaching. I would estimate that my total teaching experience, with both flute and piano, is at least twenty years. I love sharing music with others, and I enjoy watching students develop and mature. Read More

I started teaching Math professionally when I was 18 years old. After 21 years old, I started to teach at local music school as well as teaching privately at students houses. Some students asked me to teach Japanese, and I have taught Japanese as well. Teaching is my calling and I am good at it. I am just helping people to understand things they do not know or understand. I grew up with a private tutor and my academic was excellent. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice a piece separate into different sections: technical challenging part, rhythm challenging part, themes, mood change, pedaling and etc. The concept is like doing oil painting, adding layers by layers. First, separate each layers, practice until 80 percent satisfaction. Then, do two or three layers together, like: rhythm with technical challenging part, mood changes with pedaling. Add more layers together practice toward the goal. At last, combine all these layers, and paint the perfect "picture".
Some students tend to practice from the beginning to the end. This will result in the beginning is better than the rest which can cause unbalanced situation for future.
Listening and recording is also another important factor in practicing, record yourself and you will find so many blind spots which you didn't realize when you practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
According to the research, the best time to start lessons are between 6-9. In my personal opinion, it's better for a child to start lesson when the child already knows the alphabet. It's important because they need to at least know the letters in order to know the notes names.
During that time period, children already has stepped into school, they learn how to sit down and pay attention consistently for a while. Being able to sit down and pay attention for at least half a hour is basic for piano practicing.
It's ideal for parents to give the child musical environment and atmosphere in the preschool years. It's one of the early ways of nurturing children's sense of music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
One of the greatest gift from my parents is allowing me to start as a pianist. Personally I consider piano is the greatest instrument ever invented in human history. It is passionate and intense yet very logical. It's the most healing instrument yet not too overwhelmingly emotional. It's a lonely instrument yet not so lonely because it can be an orchestra by itself. It is complicated and challenging to the most extent of an instrument can be. There are uncountable literature written for solo piano and collaborative piano.
Piano is also a good instrument to develop coordination between left and right hand.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I would consider the part of being a performer to connect with the audience. No matter how hard you've tried and prepared for the performance, I always wonder how I can build connection with my audience. If you play for audience who don't know music, it's even harder to connect with them. And most people just interested in listening to the piece whether is smooth or not to determine if the performance is good. It's sometimes really kind of frustrated to see what you've been working so hard but people don't even care enough to understand. But the more performance I play, I find that I can just play the piece like telling a story, not too overdone the drama, it appears to be the most natural way of expression. My teacher told me as long as you convey the musical interpretation through fine expressions then your audience will get it.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
