Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Acoustic Guitar
My goal for every student especially the beginners is to make them play like a pro as soon as possible with emphasis on playing music by ear. My way of teaching is kind of unconventional because based on my experience, it took me a long time before I was able to play any song that I like since reading notes would require unwavering attention and huge effort depending on student’s skills to be able to play it perfectly.

I am a creative and nurturing instructor that possesses a Masters in Music Education and over a decade of practical experience. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University, and have enjoyed teaching at the collegiate level for the last several years. Participating in the International Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas",as well as in multiple regional performances at the Geffen Playhouse, Crystal Cathedral, Disneyland, Moonlight Ampitheater and many others, has given me the skill and experience that I love to impart to students!

I'm a Master's Student studying Piano Performance at California Baptist University (CBU). I've been playing the piano since I was six, and I hope to teach music at the university level one day. During my time at CBU I've had the opportunity to perform many times with various groups in churches, schools, and camps, and to tour internationally in Japan and China, as well across the United States.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Most students were sometimes getting good but sometimes they have a hard time playing with difficult notes that I teach. Some students were getting good on the beginning methods and understanding what the music book is going to read and learn about. I encourage the students to practice the beginning methods seriously for about 30 minutes. If the student is getting a little hard, she can take a break for 10 minutes and go back to the homework.

Instruments: Piano
Everyone learns differently, so I tailor my lessons to meet the needs and goals of each individual. In any case, regular practice and lessons are crucial to success. I encourage the parents of young students to be involved in their kids' progress to help establish good habits. With adults, it's all about developing a regular practice schedule that they can stick to realistic goals. I like to spend lesson time addressing at least 2 pieces of music, some sort of technical skill, and occasionally incorporating games and listening exercises. Read More

My method is a mix of theory and practice that we apply in every lesson, I prepare my material and provide everything to you to bring back home and practice when I am not around so after every class, you will have some homework to keep advancing in your journey when I am not around. Depending on your level, we start with the basics and start scaling to more advanced topics, we start from the beginning to build up your setlist so after your first few months you should be ready to do your first show, that could be in front of your family or if you wanna prepare for a real show we work towards that as well.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother is very musical. She sang in church choirs, plays piano and guitar.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Every time I tried to move away from music, it came back and grabbed me. I got my Master's in Education from HArvard University and was set to interview to work on Children's Television Workshop in Boston, Mass But I went back to Scotladn, started busking inthe streets of Edinburgh adn fell in with a proudcer who ended up recording my songs and getting me a publishing deal in London.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started by playing the piano, then grabbed my mother's guitar and stared playing that. Later, I gravitated toward bass, banjo, autoharp,dulcimer, ukelele, melodica. I do play some violin too. As I am a producer, and have a Pro tools and Logic studio, I find it helpful to play as many instruments as I can.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love the electric guitar. i love playing blues riffs. I love grunge music (my generation, I guess) and I love jazz.
But I also love Celtic music, American Folk music and I like to play in different tunings on the guitar.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am also a writer and an English teacher.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
B.A in Music, English and Theater.
I wrote scores for theater when in college.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I like to take one songwriter/band and learn as much as I can from him/her/them. recently, I have been learning as much as I can about The Beatles. Studying each song is a huge education
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We go something like this:
1. 10-15 minutes warm up: scales, drills, chords. Change tempos.
2. The rest of the session is on repertoire: we have a number of songs we want to learn. And so we work the song. I teach from the original recordings. we adapt as we go, but we really study the original work and learn as much from it as we can.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
When I teach piano, I use Hanon. These are the best finger exercises ever created. As to guitars, bass, string things, I use my own method. My book has not been published but one ofthese days it will be!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Two of my students have ended up with record deals. I provided a safe space for them to work on their crafts and record, I did not judge. I simply recorded them very well, and inspired a lot of confidence.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing is to stick with it. Patience. Also focus. This is why an sintructor can be so helpful. It takes a while to build confidence and to get a sense of what you want to do with your instrument. You need support and structure.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was awarded BEST NEWCOMER in the UK and got to represent my country in Japan at a World Music Festival. The award was given to me by Sir Goerge MArtin, and I will never forget that moment, though I regret I was so young I tried to hug Sir Martin! And that was not appropriate!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really didn't. The guitar chose me. I had to write songs. I started writing when I was six, on the piano. The instruments were there, adn I felt the need. They drew me to them.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The answer to this is that my teachers were so awful I was determined to go into music to be better than they were to me.
One viola teacher made me, for a month, stand and hold my viola. I didn't even play. And then he criticised the way I held the instrument.
When will I start to see results?
The result you want to see is a need the child will feel to play the instrument! To express. To release energy.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build in foundation work. Practice scales, chords, and work with a metronome.
Do the stuff that isn't fun first. But get it done. And do it often.
Know theory. Learn how to read, if notation, tablature, chord charts. Anything that works.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will easily know if your child starts playing an instrument on his or her own. Do not push or force music on a kid.
