Instruments: Piano
I have an innate desire to share knowledge. I like to imagine my passion for teaching for my students as a development section in a symphony: Ever expansive! I started teaching piano in the Hoff-Barthelson Music School in the Scarsdale, NY community. Going further I taught and tutored piano and music theory to fellow adults in my alma mater: Manhattanville College. Currently I am the music instructor for the White Plains Youth Bureau STEAM Academy. Read More

Every new student comes to their first lesson with particular skills and musical interests. My job is to assess the students abilities and lead them down the appropriate paths to achieving their musical goals. My goal is to cultivate musicianship. Students are encouraged to develop technical skills as a means of creative and emotional expression. Sight reading and improvisation are taught simultaneously with music theory and composition. Through individualized lessons and ensemble experience, students are encouraged to reproduce and create music as early as possible. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Music Keyboard
My teaching style prioritizes mindset and artistry above all, but my approach is highly student-specific. I pride myself on allowing students to discover and pursue their musical interests while still maintaining a base level of knowledge and skill appropriate to the student's age and experience. In the case of young students who may not be familiar enough with musical material to select pieces, I typically assign listening homework to complete outside of the lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Organ Electric Violin
It is my utmost pleasure to share and teach my experiences in music to students.In my years of teaching music, I have learned that I acquire just as much knowledge in music as my student does from me. I was raised in a classically-oriented teaching style in piano. Though unpopular to my peers at the time, I had an appreciation for classical music that motivated me to learn new pieces and methods in a classical sense. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
Also, because of theory lessons, they are also encouraged to read music on their own and learn songs independently. My lessons are designed from day 1 to include Music Theory because I believe that theory of a subject is very important in comprehension of reading a musical piece and recognizing all the signs, symbols, terms etc in the music while learning to read and play it on the instrument. I provide the Theory worksheets or a theory workbook is purchased and used by the student based on level of study. 30 mins of the lesson is spent on teaching, learning and attempting exercises on worksheets.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Humming is the most effective way to warm up voice at any places before starting a regular vocalization. As I mentioned about humming earlier, the sound is the compression of the air. It is not necessary to vocalize too long before singing songs and arias. During singing songs and arias, I help the uneasy notes and phrases of music by the each student's problems and let them feel the same sensation when they resolved the problems in singing. Practicing is up to the individual's situations and I would advise them to be consistent with a break not to overuse the fragile human instruments even though who mastered the solid vocal techniques.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had a few good teachers who recognized my innate musical talent when I was very shy and insecure in my early ages and during my high school days. At first, I was very much encouraged by my very first piano teacher who believed in my hidden musical gift until junior high school and I gave up my dream to pursue a career as a concert pianist. I wanted to be a professional singer since my childhood, but I was too shy and insecure to express my feeling and dreams of becoming a singer even though I always was selected to sing a solo at school and at churches. When I had to decide to go to music college, in spite of my family's pressure for me to go to the medical school, I was persistent to take voice lessons with my very first voice teacher/opera singer for only three months which was an incredible challenge and miracle for me to be accepted to the prestigious Music College at Ewha Woman's University in Seoul, Korea. My first voice teacher predicted the speedy development of my singing techniques and a strong voice in such a short period, as a miracle to many other peers at that time. Another voice teacher in New York, after Juilliard, the late Louise Casellotti who gave me a life-long gift for solid technique how to rejuvenate my voice with her strong trust in my potentials as a true artist and as a youthful and healthy singer till the end. As a performer and voice teacher, I am so blessed to hand it down to my students what I have learned all the vocal training by these rarely perfect teachers in my life.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child's steady practicing and taking lessons regularly with enthusiasm and commitment in music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The right timing depends on your family resources. If your child has a great deal of love and desire for music to perform with joy, you may ask your child whether he/she is willing to meet a music teacher for a trial lesson first. The best way to decide if your child is ready for formal music lessons is simply to watch how he/she reacts to music and their interest level in any instruments or singing. Also, to learn about how often they will be in musical activities. If your child is too young to start lessons, let him/her play any musical toys to feel the sound of beauty gradually. if your child is obsessed with the musical toys, then hiring a private tutor to find out quickly how interested your child in music based on the reaction to practice and lesson time as well.
