Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
Music brings me a lot of joy, and I hope to impart that to my students! It takes time and effort to gain mastery of an instrument, but the resulting freedom and fulfillment of being able to play and enjoy music are more than worth it. It was during high school that I started to teach piano, and my love for teaching music has only grown since then. I love teaching students of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Ive been informally teaching piano to friends and family for 2 years. Now I have my own studio in Santa Ana to teach out of! Its exciting to design lessons and explain concepts in a concise way so students of all ages and skill levels will understand. Since I specialized in learning and memory in college, I have an extensive knowledge about the best study methods and techniques for learning. This will ensure that lessons will adequately challenging, yet exciting enough to keep them motivated! Read More

In my teaching I aim to first assess where the student's skill level currently stands. I focus on being able to continuously develop a student's ear, theory knowledge, techique, and sight-reading. While working in these areas, I like to connect with the student on their individual goals and what they want to work on in their lessons. My teachers from over the years would also assign me songs that I wasn't a fan of at first, but I soon learned to love from working on them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching voice, songwriting, and piano since I began college in 2013. I have taught both younger and older students alike, and I tailor my lessons to their needs and wants. I find that every student is unique in their journey with music and I do my very best to help them achieve attainable goals that we have set-up together, taking into account their age and their musical interests.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I have developed courses for learning notation, and I use computer programs outputing individual lessons on theory and harmony. I've traveled and played throughout the country and studied Mississippi Delta and New Orleans styles, San Francisco Rock, New York Jazz, and Broadway. I've met with important players, as well as working with Cultural Center concert promotions and fundraising. After years acquiring various pieces of equipment, sound recordings and digitizing records, I also buy, sell, and convey to anyone interested acquiring a knowledge of American Music roots from its earliest forms to present day.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My music leadership experience began with competitive show choir in 8th grade - voted Student of the Year - and these experiences inspired me through high school! The show choir program director appointed me tenor section leader in 9th grade and Voice Captain in 10th grade for my ability to lead voice sectional rehearsals and provide pianist accompaniment when needed. I am currently a performing arts coach for the Anaheim Union High School District, supporting vocal music and dance program directors with clinician and choreography services. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar Music Keyboard
I believe in using your ears as the most important tool. Which means I believe in playing music rather than reading it. Growing up playing music by ear. I prefer this way of teaching and only use sheet music as an assistant to help the student get to a certain goal. As a teacher I can help you grow your abilities on your instrument. Help you achieve the cool warm sound you want from the saxophone. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Results can be seen within a week of practice. Depending on what instrument we study together, you will be humming along to songs on the radio, tapping your hands and feet to the radio, or playing piano on park benches (assuming you're a beginner).
If you're an intermediate student, you can expect to see signs of growth on your instrument within 1 - 2 lessons. If you keep with your practice routine, your chops (muscles) will grow, and you will start to build muscle memory.
After a year or so, the muscle memory will be deeply encoded, and you'll likely never forget the songs you've been practicing.
If we study for more than a year, the possibilities are endless! Generally I like to reassess goals yearly, and we'll set bigger roadblocks for personal achievement. Realize there is likely nothing you CAN'T do with enough practice and determination.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready to start lessons at any age, especially if they show an inclination or attraction to musical instruments, percussive toys, etc.
Anybody who comes from a family of musicians can start any time, and probably will naturally grow into a musician based on exposure. If you have NO musicians in your household, music will likely be a new exercise, but one which will be a lifelong investment in your child's brain performance. Musicians have been proven to score better in areas of math and foreign language, because similar areas of the brain are engaged when practicing music. Music is, in essence, a language of rhythm.
If you're curious about your child starting music lessons, buy them a small drum, have them sit at the piano or keyboard, or start them on a recorder or other small instrument. If they enjoy it, they're ready for lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice requires consistency. It's been shown that 5 minutes of practice daily can be more effective than a 1 hour session, 3 days a week.
Jerry Garcia used to wake up at 5am every morning to play scales, and the proof is in the pudding with this ability to play any style, any time, and perform fluidly for hours at a time.
Practice should be a labor of love, and one that you're motivated to engage in. My assigned practice will be geared towards songs you enjoy, songs we've selected together to work on, and something that pushes the envelope of your stylistic comfort zone.

I'm 30 years old and looking to learn the piano. I taught myself when I was younger on a very basic level, but I'm looking to refresh and further those skills. Thanks.
James
Tried by myself. Didn't work. Need help I am thinking one lesson in my home so you know what I have. After that, I'll come to you. Age might be a problem - I'm 75.
