Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
Being a person and friend rather than a "teacher" helps establish a nice atmosphere during the lesson, although it is important to be able to show authority as needed. First and foremost the student needs to have fun at class, otherwise he/she won't work on his/her own at home. I believe it is important to play a lot in the lesson, playing along with the student, listening to tunes, or just jamming together, all of these examples help spark creativity, which is a very important part of every musician.

I have been playing cello for 20 or so years. I have studied at CSUN classical cello performance. I have been teaching for about 10 years.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I enjoy being creative and utilizing new ideas and approaches to improve the learning environment for my students. I have incorporated a variety of hands on activities, fun assignments and learning projects to inspire and motivate my students. This includes the integration of current recording and electronic instrument technology throughout the curriculum. I am passionate about empowering and inspiring students while helping them to develop their full potential. Part of this process includes close interaction with parents to encourage participation and reinforce learning in the home while building the child's self esteem and confidence. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga
For young students who have never played before they are introduced to a fun and easy book called Hal Leonard's Drum Set Method. After a quick assessment I apply some adjustments to there playing and quickly assign some fun homework. Simply and effective for their style of playing. For adults, I asked them to play for me a few bars and drum patterns. I check their ability to read, improvise and how strong their "pocket "is. (i.e. Read More

I always like to get a feel for the students ability first and then choose the right level to begin with them. I always start with some exercise work to strengthen the basics and then include a lot of fun pieces to boost the fun and satisfaction with the improvement. I am very effective at improving a players ability and enjoyment of the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I strongly believe that a well-rounded music education helps a player to become a more confident, musical, and an emotionallyyaware musician. As such, I like to give my students small assignments focused on topics besides just performance, such as Music Theory and Aural Skills exercises. Of course, I will always move at the pace the student needs but I also know (from personal experience) that a nudge in the right direction can be priceless. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice is often seen as a tedious endeavor, but I have always found practice to be a joy! As a teacher I assign repertoire that both challenges and interests my students, so while they are learning, they are also singing or playing repertoire that they are happy to be working on. As they progress and grow more skillful, the repertoire becomes more complex so that there is always a level of challenge to ensure that they are both enjoying themselves and learning in the process!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any curiosity or interest is enough to work with! The lessons adapt and evolve with the child, and as she or he matures, the lessons will do so as well! I have taught students as young as 4 years old, and although their attention span is shorter, their ability to retain important musical knowledge is fascinating! They can learn full songs by heart, memorize the piano using helpful songs, and remember musical terminology that will really give them a leg-up advantage as they progress through music lessons!
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 Bachelors of Music in Commercial Vocal Performance. This a rare degree to find because most school only offer Vocal Performance Degrees in Classical or Jazz, and while I did begin my studies in Jazz (which I do love very much), I felt that something was missing and I wanted my education to be rooted in the present, not the past. That was why I joined the music program at CalState Los Angeles, because there the curriculum allowed room to full express my voice and my abilities as a singer-songwriter. I am very glad I chose this path, because it really helped me hone not only my voice but my ability to write and perform music for live audiences.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided rather early on, at about 15 years old, the music was really what I wanted to do. As my abilities progressed, I found that people were really moved by my singing and my songwriting, and there was a sense of responsibility to continue my musical education to fulfill some abstract goal of making music in the future as a career. That goal has become much clearer as an adult and I am so happy that I chose this path of sharing my music and my abilities with audiences and students alike.
