Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Double Bass
For beggining students and especially children I will start with books such as the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has graped the fundamentals of musical theory and scales , we will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for skill set and age. For adults I simply try to find what the studenet is interested in, and guide my instruction accordinglu to keep the lessons fun and engaging, no matter their ability level! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Especially for young people, maintaining interest and ensuring that they continue to see the value of their musical education is essential. I remember a very frank conversation with my mother when at 13 I wanted to give up music to play football, and I blame that on the style of teaching I was receiving. Whilst there is stuff not to like about instrumental learning - for some it's scales, for me it was sight reading - the satisfaction comes from masterng these challenges, and if we can keep these short and long term goals relevant to the student, getting the practice hours done may be a litte easier on everyone!

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 Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Conga Latin Percussion
I have been teaching music since 2001. I was the music program director at Mission Hills Middle School and the guitar and conga teacher at St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Oakland. I have also been a music instructor with Star Power Music, COVA, Art and Soul Music Studios, Hayward Music Center and ALMA. I teach all levels of guitar and congas, as well as beginning piano, voice and drum set lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Mandolin Recorder Orchestral Percussion Music
It is my joy seeing my students learn from me and become successful in their musical journey. I help my students discover and develop their skill and talent in music. I always encourage my students to go beyond their comfort zone; to show their talents in music, and to share it to the community. I also incorporate games in my teaching. I also give my students an opportunity to choose the music they want to learn and teach it to get their interest. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
It is important and rewarding for both me and the student to have a passion for their music and learning. Because of this, it is important to me that each student sets their own goals. I will encourage and help the students to set high but realistic goals that will bring them enthusiasm for the music. I try to bring inspiration and a lot of guidance to each student. And I love to have fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
With my teachings, each student will experience a voice that will rarely get tired, won't sound hoarse and will stay healthy their whole lives. I am also a major proponent of learning music theory. All of my voice and piano students learn basic theory under my tutelage through the Keith Snell piano theory series. When I teach my students, I typically begin them on classical training. We start off learning Italian art songs, but will always have their favourite pop tune in the mix to show them how classical technique can make them a better pop singer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Sometimes I feel like I have always been a professional musician, and sometimes I feel like even though I have taught so many students, I am still not a professional musician.
However, my defining moment were my friends. One day, they told me that they were really motivated to learn how to play the guitar. I knew how to play, but I never taught them. They were making so many mistakes because they did not have a teacher. I fixed all of their mistakes, and helped them become a great guitarists. That is when I realized I could teach music at a high level!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I do not have a dream piece to perform. I purposely play music for a better quality of life, and a way to express skill and art.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am currently a math teacher. Learning math can be very stressful sometimes, so playing music is a great way for me to let go of the stress and learn something fun.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Pop is always going to be my favorite because
1. It is easy to learn if you have your fundamentals down
2. It is easy to improvise
3. Everybody around you can dance/sing with you
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have always wanted to start my own band, but it was hard finding new musicians. So I learned a new instrument, hoping that somebody else can takeover the one that I currently know. That way, I am extremely flexible when there are new musicians.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. warm up: this could be scales, breathing techniques, posture, tuning the instruments, or anything that could help prepare for a smoother session.
2. play pieces from last week: Here is where I get to see what is good and what needs more work. If things are good, we can move on. If things are not good, I will spend some time and fix things here and there.
3. learn new pieces: The fun part where the student gets to sight read (or play if they practiced in advance) and I could play it for them so they could get a feel of what it is supposed to sound like.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In 2007, the middle school finally opened an orchestra. I was one of the students at the time. I barely knew how to play violin. Since it was a new program, all of the students were new too. I worked hard and spent a lot of time practicing so I ended up becoming the concertmaster for all 3 years of middle school. It was awesome to see that if I worked hard, good things will happen. The orchestra went and performed to numerous cities and I was leading all of them. All it took was some motivation and dedication and I was able to accelerate.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master would be quality and consistency. When we first start playing an instrument, all we really care about is if we play the right note at the right time. That's all you need to be good. The longer you play, you start to notice to focus on dynamics meaning that some pieces need to be louder or softer. That way you are expressing yourself and making the music sound better. Now once you play even longer you start to focus how every note is unique and different. 1 note can be played in a million different ways to produce a unique. That is something to think about if you play an instrument for a long time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
No, a teacher did not inspire me. I always enjoyed singing songs on the TV so I did not need inspiration to start learning. However, as a teacher, I have inspired students who never considered learning to try playing music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Here is the story of how I chose my instrument. I was 6 years old watching tv with my parents. I would sing the theme song of the show and my mom would say "Oh isn't that so cute?". My dad said, "Well, if he likes singing so much, maybe i should sign him up for music lessons". The next weekend, he took me to the music store so I could explore. I spent the most time looking at the piano so my dad signed me up for piano lessons. Piano is a very hard instrument to learn, but in the end, it is very rewarding.
