Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I am looking first at what the students know about music and what they can put into practice. Then according to their level i managed to teach them the 14 Chords on guitar in order to move forward in their ability skills. Then I will propose them to learn any songs of their choice and teach them the manner to play it ; arpeggio, Rythmic, solos. I can teach the students some basic of music theory for them to be able to read music and apply it on their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I begin students with the Faber Piano Adventures books, which get students' fingers on the keys at the very first lesson, and also focus on theory. Once they are beginning to read music, usually after a few months, I introduce popular songs to supplement the lesson book, such as the theme to Star Wars, or Disney music, which the children recognize, and add extra fun to their practice time. I am happy to find specific songs that a student may request! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
. I really desire the child to enjoy lessons. I like to build their confidence that they are achieving. I'm strict in how I teach the language of music. I don't half way teach and desire my students to be able to sight read music and understand timing. If i have a student that doesn't understand I explain in in math and they have all understood how important timing is. Students work at their pace and have some students work very fast and move quickly while others are slower. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I've had a love for music since I was a child, when my father played classical recordings at home every day. I've played piano and flute since age 10, and the enjoyment of it just keeps increasing! From elementary school through college I performed on flute, including as a soloist, in bands and orchestras; and as an adult I'm continuing that. I've performed in several orchestras in San Diego, and I'm a charter member, section leader, and soloist in the San Diego Concert Band. Read More

My methods as a teacher are very vast. I have taught many people and my success in teaching is unrivaled. I am able to make my students change direction, focus, get back on track, use a tangent to further a topic and much more. I think most music teachers focus on the music and not enough on their abilities to teach. I have been a preschool teacher and filled various other educational roles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I became the Concert Mistress of the UCSD Chamber Orchestra and look forward to continuing my education for Music Performance, Music Education, and Psychology. In my music career, I've formed duets, trios, and quartets, to volunteer and perform at weddings, funerals, nursing homes, and other private events. I also am a part of an indie rock/bluegrass band called the County Fair, playing the fiddle. In my free time, I compose and transpose for myself as well as for my students who would like to learn an easier version of a piece, different genres like pop songs from movies, TV shows, favorite artists, etc. Read More

I am a voice, piano, and guitar teacher. I prefer to teach in an easygoing, but precise manner and try to adapt to all my students needs. Ive been in love with music since I was a kid, singing along to everything I could. I studied music in college and graduated in 2012, then started teaching privately in January of 2014. Along with the act of teaching and the enjoyment of music, Im a huge fan of tasty food, learning new things, and exploring the world around me. 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?
