Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard
I've had the wonderful opportunity to build my private studio while simultaneously teaching with larger studios and music nonprofits. It has helped me grow immensely to learn from professional teachers, seasoned team-leaders, fellow-musicians, and the CEOs of the companies. Over the years, I've been able to glean the best practices from the top professionals in my field. I’ve work with children on the autism spectrum, stroke survivors, Alzheimer’s patients, people who went on to earn degrees in music, young children, teenagers, adult learners, and Seniors. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching private voice for three years, and feel like I truly thrive when I'm sharing my knowlege of music and performance. At Colorado State University I taught a to wide range of students and styles from freshmen voice majors, choral conducting graduate students, theater majors, voice minors, and even a couple aspiring folk/country singers! I also taught a Fundamentals of Music Theory course to over 100 non-music majors, covering reading music, piano basics, intro to harmony, the physics of music and the psychology of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching piano for over twenty years. My teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun. For young beginners, I focus on basic technique. The reason is that it is very important to form good playing skills right from the beginning. For older students, I broaden their musical knowlege by introducing piano literature from different time periods. I also encourage them to pick songs that they like to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Ukulele
I have studied and performed music for over 30 years. I graduated from California State University, East Bay in 2010, and have completed 1 year of my M.M. in Trombone Performance from the University of North Texas. I am currently based in the SF Bay Area and plan to continue my studies here. I have extensive experience playing in many ensembles in many different styles, such as: orchestra, brass quintet, jazz band, rock band, horn sections, chamber music, as well as numerous others.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
For beginning to intermediate guitar players, I would suggest learning some of the fundamentals and basics from Hal Leonard's Guitar Method Complete Edition - Books 1 2 and 3 (bound together in one volume). As the student develops a better understanding of music and a better ability to play it, I would then work on finding them a piece of music that challenges their knowledge and technique, yet also a piece of music that they would want to play, and that they would be passionate about learning.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience begins when I apprenticed under my Choral teacher in high school and she would ask me to work one on one with certain singers that needed extra help. I started teaching private lessons part time at 17 and continued all through college. I have been consistently teaching students in my home for the past 5 years. I am a firm believer that in order to truly excel in anything you must have a classical foundation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I began teaching private lessons while I was still in college around 2005 and have had few private students. Ive taught and coached jazz band, concert band, and orchestra youth programs like Stanford Jazz, The Jazzschool, and Golden State Youth Orchestra. The students I work with learn the fundamentals and mechanics of the instrument, the understanding of musical language and theory, how it relates to the world, expression of feelings, thoughts and ideas, and the overall joy and fulfillment of playing music on trombone.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I recently threw a really cool house show on September 1st, having live music, DJ's, asked a few local businesses to sponsor the event and charged a $5 cover at the door. I've been working several months to book this one band from Austin and finally they got back to me and agreeded to do the show.
It was to my surprise that the lead singer found me at the party and asked me to join their band. I was so busy that night, I told him I would call him the next day.
The next day, I give him a phone call and tells me his band, SMiiLE, is going on four week national tour and asked me to come along. I asked when they were leaving and he said in two days.
The next day, I drove to Austin to have a rehearsal with them and they digged my playing and the day after, we got in the van and were off to make music across the country.
It was definitely a risking move because I didn't know any of these people, didn't know their music all too well and dropped out of school that semester. But I'm glad I did because we ended up making incredible music on the way and it was such a beautiful experience.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency of the groove.
Being a drummer, you have to understand your roll is to hold it down..not solo all over the place with fills. Being mindful of the players around you and maintaining a good balance of sound is crucial.
Having a good attitude is important too. No one is going to want to work with you if you walk into the space with a lousy attitude. Music is pure energy, and if you're bringing in this mojo like you know everything or if you would rather be somewhere else..then that's not going to take you very far.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Everyone and there mammas wants to be a drummer.
Before there was a spoken language, cavemen would communicate with each other by banging on their chest and hitting things together.
Ever since I was in elementary, I was always tapping my hands or pencils on the desk because I couldn't help it. I needed to be heard. My parents got me the video game "Rock Band" when it came out and I learned a lot of basic rock rhythms through there and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I simply wanted to get better and wanted to be the best. So I practiced, a lot.
