Instruments: Piano
The beauty of giving private lesson is that it can be designed to individual student. I start to study them from the first sentence the talk to me and more importantly from their parents' goal for them. This only apply for the younger student. For the younger students, I like to encourage them to participate in competitions, recitals or any form and evolutions to make them proud of themselves, to see what they have achieved. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I generate an individualized course of study for each student. Beginning students typically begin with the Faber method, to make sure they develop a strong foundation for future study. As they progress, I begin to introduce age-appropriate repertoire. My more advanced students focus on musicianship technique as well as repertory. Depending on the goals for each student, I will work on jazz, classical, or contemporary styles. I also love working with students on concepts for improvisation and composition! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Keyboard
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2017, I graduated from Queens College with a Master of Music degree in Jazz Performance(Voice). Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play at Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Festival, Museum of Chinese in America, Flushing Town Hall, Queens Library in New York, as well as touring China as several performances as the singer/band leader with Vivi H.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a specific time every day/week. Make sure the student eats a hour before the lesson. Put on your mind to "receive" mode and that there aren't any distractions in the room. If a section of a piece is problematic that we would work on that part first. A metronome can be helpful at first when practicing. If possible, internally sing the piece down and up again. The instructor can play one hand while the student plays the other. There are also pieces for 2 pianos. Practicing doesn't have to be boring at all. it can be a creator of fun, drama, adventure...
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child has a great deal of energy and it is focused on inner thought,
If the child has a little energy and it is focused on outer thought.
If the child can sign-a-long from DVD tracks, or if the child can dance to a children show, they are ready for lessons.
If the students stop crying when music is being played.
If the students bang on kitchen utensils.
they are ready for lessons.
If the student asks the family for piano at home,
they are ready for lessons.
If the student starts playing what he hears on the radio,
they are ready for lessons.
When will I start to see results?
A parent of slower IQ will find themselves seeing results in either a month or less.
A parent of medium IQ will take 2-3 weeks, while advanced students for 1-2 weeks.
This isn't set in stone, some of their grades fluctuate from (ex. third to second) and some rearrangement will probably occur. But by the end of the course all grades should normalize.
It is important that the children wants to be here, but excessive crying (for youngest class) lesson after lesson indicates a problem. I would gently ask the child "whats wrong", or "is the music giving you a problem?". Sometimes the personal touch can help students with bad attitude.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was just starting my undergraduate I was very impressed by Charles Wuorinen, Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur award winner. He taught for New Jersey and commuted to New York if there was an engagement (he also has a home on West End Avenue).
Wuorinen's music is daring and electrifying to the listener. It also has moments of eerie calm where the instruments can stretch out and blend together. His pieces tend to be large with well-defined sections.
He also takes the older composer (Machaut) and arranged it in his style. Similar pieces are over his output.
