Instruments: Piano Voice
I see myself as a facilitator, helping students discover new elements of music and music theory and building upon those to create a greater understanding of reading and playing music both for piano and voice. Often i will model by playing a song first so that the student cannot not only hear what is sounds like but observe my technique, finger changes, dynamic ranges, tempo and so on. There are many elements to performing a piece besides just playing the correct notes! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Teaching has always been a passion for me. I began teaching piano lessons when I was in 3rd grade and I start started teaching violin lessons after college. I earned my Bachelors degree in music education from Silla university in South Korea, but her love for music started as early as kindergarten on the piano. While in school, I won various piano competitions in South Korea and I performed for a wide range of audiences. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Double Bass Keyboard
Together we will create a custom lesson plan including things like scales, etudes, solos, excerpts, and covers. I like to direct students to play scales and etudes with drones that can be found online or from an app. and can offer many more helpful practice techniques. I can teach classical bass, piano, and cello, as well as pop/rock bass, piano, cello, or vocal performance. I also teach music composition, performing and arranging covers, and can coach any instrument for specific performances. Read More

Sometimes all it takes to really understand the material is a considerate instructor who knows how to teach at your pace. Having worked with students throughout Northern Virginia since 2000, I bring a depth of professional experience and knowledge to those who are eager to expand their minds, talents, and skills. I am passionate about musical education. It is my belief that music is a gift to be shared - not just between instructor and student but also between the student and their community. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm an ardent instructor and music lover that believes in the saying that music is the soundtrack of our lives. Through my studies, lessons, and performances, I have learned to appreciate the rich diversity found in music. A joy that I love sharing with all of my students. In 2016, I enjoyed participating in an international competition that served to further my experiences as a musician. All in all, I believe the study of music should always be an enjoyable experience no matter what your musical aspirations may be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
I began teaching in 2000. I was very fortunate to have had very qualified teachers throughout my career. When I was in college, I asked my professor, "How do you teach?" And his response was, "Teach as you have been taught." My teachers have included Donald Sutherland, Dame Gillian Weir, David Higgs, Corey McVicar, Carol Prochazka, and more. A few of my teachers trace their lineage from Leon Fleisher, to Schnabel, to Leschetizky, to Czerny, and finally to Beethoven! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Hi! I have been playing music for almost 20 years and am excited to share my knowledge and love of many kinds of music. I started playing in fourth grade, going on to play first chair in high school concert and jazz bands and regional bands. Throughout that time, I learned guitar, keyboard, and bass guitar. I went on to go to the Frost School of Music at University of Miami, and graduated in 2014. Read More
Instruments: Cello
When will I start to see results?
Results happen very gradually over a long period of time. Sometimes, since we hear ourselves play everyday when practicing, it's difficult to notice improvement over a long period of time, because the progress is so gradual. Because of this, I recommend that the student record a video of themselves playing every once in a while. If you practice consistently over a long period of time, you might be shocked at how much progress you've made when you look back at your videos from the past.
That being said, I think most students can start seeing significant improvements in their playing within 2-3 months! Of course, progress in entirely dependent on practicing effectively, very consistently, over a long period of time. You can see results even sooner if you are motivated to practice really hard.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child enjoys playing their instrument and wants to improve, they are ready to start lessons in my opinion. Good practicing and improvement comes when one applies the knowledge they have learned into their playing, and private lessons are the absolute best way to do this. Also, building good technical habits from the beginning is so crucial, and having a private teacher to keep checking on and adjusting the students technique can be so incredibly helpful. Because of this, I believe one should begin lessons as soon as there is a clear motivation to improve, as private lessons are the best way to achieve that improvement.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly! That's the best piece of advice I have for practicing effectively. Slow practice allows you to focus on the detail of everything you do, from how your bow is working, to left hand intonation, tone production, articulation and more- slow practice enables you to zoom in and work on much more detail than you could at a faster tempo. And slow practice doesn't have to be boring! In fact, I'm a firm believer that practice should never be boring. Slow practice is a chance to explore music up close in personal, and you get to really decide what you want to say with a piece. I also believe that experimentation is so crucial to make good progress in the practice room. You have to try things you haven't tried before every day, always trying to push your limits. You never know if something works for you or not if you haven't tried it, and cello playing is so depende
