Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Students (and parents of students) often have goals for learning piano. As an instructor, my job is to assist and encourage students to achieve these goals. Whether its to learn basic chords and simple songs, or to master certain complex musical pieces for a recital, I am eager to work with students to find out the best methods to improve and progress towards achieving their goals. When students show diligence, passion, and a drive to learn, my own excitement and passion to teach is even more stoked. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been a professional musician since I ws 14 years old. I enjoying accompanying and have played many musical theatre productions, recitals, church services, and choral concerts. I have taught privately and in public schools since the late 1970's. My greatest thrill is working with students who are eager to learn, willing to practice at their craft, and willing to laugh and have a good time. Sharing musical talent is so easy and so rewarding.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Each student is different. At first I try to see what's their passion, how much farther they want to learn, what style would they prefer, and more things about their preferences. For the beginners it's very important to learn step by step. But at the same time I always find out a unique way to entertain by performing a peace for them, and/or play along with them or play an accompaniment for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience started while I was in college working on my Bachelor of Music degree. I gave private lessons to fellow students at my college and also was a substitute teacher for the music school in my hometown. From working with multiple guitar teachers over the course of 10 years, I have picked up on what did and did help me when I was learning. From that, I am able to adapt my methods for the individual student. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child I often excelled academically and socially, but found a tremendous amount of jealousy and comparison both within and without. I found it difficult to identify my unique artistic voice, and often sublimated myself more than was necessary. As I stepped into adolescence I discovered that my unique gifts and showmanship had a place in the arts, specifically for singing and acting, and I readily found my tribe in that nurturing environment.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
It is my delight to have a Masters in Music that has been put to excellent use in my college, professorial career. Prior to that time I participated in the Broadway National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and worked as a professional voice over artist for MTV, EECI, Achieve the Core, Playstation and more!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They'll tell you! If your child is singing around the house at the top of their lungs, or using utensils to bang on the table, it might be time to sign them up for lessons! Music has been found to increase discipline, comprehension and academic scores. If your child is longing for more community, greater confidence and self-acceptance, the arts are a wonderful resource to utilize!
When will I start to see results?
This is the wrong question :) The most important shift in your child's life will most likely be internal, and relatively quiet. The moment of success is not the moment most apparent to the crowd. When your child is smiling, enjoying themselves and in acceptance of the full range of their emotions, the arts can be a valuable resource for bolstering their self-identity and fulfillment. Awards are important. Tests are important. Performance is important. But humanity and self-worth far outstrip any external result that is quantifiable.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Many, many teachers that have inspired me over the years. Bob Richard, from the National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" continues to be an amazing choreographer and director. Professor Al Clifft of Azusa Pacific University was a tremendous asset in my academic growth. And the unique relationships of family, friends and creative colleagues have added to my own unique creative diversity.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For young children practice time can be easily included with other academic pursuits, otherwise it will mostly likely not happen. I also like to motivate younger kids with stickers, awards and candy, when applicable. External and internal rewards are a huge component of long term growth. I also offer steady performance opportunities for increased motivation...
