Instruments: Piano
It has always been my desire to help others and I find that teaching music is the best way! Music have so much positive benefits and I have seen firsthand on what music education can do for students.

Im a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students. My performance and educational background is strong. In 2004, I graduated from New England Conservatory with a Bachelors of Music in Piano Performance. And also in 2006, I graduates from San Francisco Conservatory with a Masters of Music in Piano Performance. I had performed with a repertoire that stretches from Bach to Liszt to the music of today. I am very enthusiastic about meeting new students who can share my love of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I began teaching private lessons 9 yeras ago when some neighborhood friends encouraged me to share my love of music through teaching. Encouraging regular, consistent practice and keeping a journal of areas of focus during practice is one of the techniques I encourage for students of all ages to progress and grow in their enjoyment of the instrument. I love encouraging students to compose their own material, and to share their music in competitions and recitals, as a way to develop their passion for music and to stay motivated to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
In addition to having performed on thousands of stages around the world over the last 15 years, I have been teaching private lessons in percussion for the last 10 years. I have experience teaching individual and group lessons, in some cases with groups of over 50 students. In addition to lessons which address the practical concerns involved in beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of drums, percussion, & cello, I teach lessons in structuring performances (aimed mostly at bands looking to take their live production to the next level), prepping for studio time, tailoring performances to their setting (studio, venues small & large, workshops), and techniques for learning large volumes of material quickly.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been playing the piano for over 10 years. I decided to receive a formal education so I could teach others by using different techniques. I started teaching two years ago. I have created a home studio for my students to come and feel comfort in learning piano. My studio consist of keyboards and a upright piano. I have taught children who are artistic. I enjoy teaching people who are willing to learn and practice the materials that I have presented. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I have been teaching students private voice and piano for 6 years. Encouraging a consistent schedule is one of the key points that I like to emphasize for younger and new students. This will help students progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've found that a combination of different genre's, such as classical and modern day music, can help students enjoy the piano/voice and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The main book I teach out of for upright bass is F. Simandl New Method for Double Bass. I am a little more regimented with teaching double bass because it is more demanding instrument to learn as it requires more rigorous training. It is important to take your time learning each position and working your way up the neck. However, once enough proficiency is attained I begin to jump ahead and incorporate other advanced techniques to paint the bigger picture. When it comes to the bass guitar, I have created my own method of teaching which I begin with a student assessment. Sometimes students have advanced technique but lack the knowledge of neck, as well as their chord/scale theory, and in this case I will have the student go back and solidify their fundamentals.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice is mostly jazz related which covers a lot of ground and naturally strengthens all aspects music, including other styles of music due to its broad harmonic spectrum of musical language. More specifically most of my practice is tune based practice, so this will include transcribing, jazz language, as well as technical exercises and improvising. Practice isn't making music so it is important to put your practice into play. You cant only practice in a vacuum for the rest of your life, so it is very important to put your skills to use and jam and/or gig with other musicians and artists.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor Degree in Music Performance from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA. I chose this degree because I have been preforming music since I was 8 years old. I began my musical journey by singing in a choir and eventually started playing bass guitar when I was 12 years old. I continued actively playing through my teens in jazz bands as well as other bands I formed with my friends. I realized when I was in 8th grade that I wanted to pursue music as a career, and ever since then that became my main focus and haven't stopped since!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform. There is so much music out there and I enjoy playing all different kinds. It can get a little dreary playing the same tunes over and over again so that why I get excited to perform and/or write new music. However, I really do enjoy playing some of my favorite jazz tunes. The thing with jazz is it never gets old. The tune is a vehicle for improvisation, and with improvisation, the playing of yourself and whoever you're playing with is going to come out differently every time, which keeps things fresh and interesting.
