My teaching style is focussed very much on what the student wishes to learn. Having a set guide pf progression is necessary but not when forced upon. My style involves exploring music together, understanding the thought process behind different pieces of music and applying concepts in fun innovative ways. I have also designed many musical games that are fun and help students remember things better. With every student I put together a custom lesson plan that is designed to show yardsticks and milestones for the student in how they are moving forward with their instrument. Read More

My musical journey started at the age of 8. I took classical piano lessons for about 5 to 6 years and during that time, I learned about the fundamentals and building blocks of music theory as well as how to read, sight-read, and transpose music. My love for music though began when I picked up the guitar at age 13. I had always naturally gravitated towards the guitar because of its portability (compared to the piano) as well as the full sound it was able to yield despite being a smaller instrument coupled with the fact that there are some many interesting styles and ways to play it.

I use various methods and books depending on the style, age, ability etc. I always keep my eye out for new books and open to suggestions. A few examples. With classical guitar students who are over 10 yo I prefer to use Christopher Parkening Guitar Method and Frederick Noad "Solo Guitar Playing" The latter suits more mature (both mentally and physically) students. With younger guitar students , 6-9 yo, I usually start by using basic guitar methods such as Hal Leonard Essential elements or "Everybody's Guitar Method" and my own easy arrangements of popular songs before shifting to Parkening.

I love teaching because it teaches me more than I can ever learn from a piece of music. Seeing my student grow as a musician and as his/her own individual character/personality. I've taught students as young as 3 to college graduates who simply want to get some pieces under their fingers. I've also taught masterclasses to my mom's students and to students at UCLA, and I find that all of us connect in some way musically as we all love and cherish the same composers whose music we still play today.

There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a student cultivate a genuine love for music. Hence, I prioritize enabling every student to advance according to their individual pace. I foster this by establishing achievable objectives during each lesson, recognizing their achievements to ignite their motivation to excel and further their learning enthusiasm. By identifying their sources of inspiration, I adeptly customize my instruction to cater to their preferences and necessities. I believe that every student possesses infinite potential, and I aspire to nurture their individual talents. Read More

I strongly believe in having an open and honest relationship with my student. I think both should know upfront what the expectations should be, such as how long they will practice, what proper progress and growth looks like, as well as what they need from me to help them succeed. More than anything, I want to help my students grow their love for music in any way I can, and that might be different for everyone but that should be the priority. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
. I really desire the child to enjoy lessons. I like to build their confidence that they are achieving. I'm strict in how I teach the language of music. I don't half way teach and desire my students to be able to sight read music and understand timing. If i have a student that doesn't understand I explain in in math and they have all understood how important timing is. Students work at their pace and have some students work very fast and move quickly while others are slower. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would not chose any other profession than a musician. Music is my life, music runs through my veins and I am lifeless without it. It inspires me, it motivates me, it makes me feel things i've never felt before. Without music I don't know where I would be. I am still learning things about music that I never knew before. To be a musician is to be a lifelong learner. I guess if I had to choose something other than music I'd probably choose to be a professional surfer or a doctor because the medical field and surfing are two other interests of mine.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar because I wanted to learn the music that I was listening to, then in high school my friends played the guitar and we would sit around in the basement and play Nirvana, The Beatles and classical rock music. My favorite musicians played the guitar and I wanted to be like them and play like them. This inspired me and motivated me. By learning songs that I liked and listened to, It made me want to learn even more. I could play anything I wanted to play on the guitar. This made me want to learn other instruments.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest, a passion and a talent for music then they are ready to start lessons. It matters because your child wants to learn about music at this point. This will motive a child to practice, and practice is the most important thing to your child succeeding in their musical studies. If your child shows no interest or passion, then they will not practice because they ultimately do not want to learn. Motivation is important in how a child learns and applies what they have learned.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is essential to applying the things a student has learned. Without practice it would not be wise to move on to the next lesson. If a student wants to improve in their skills, posture, and mental knowledge of music, practicing is even more important than the lesson. It is important that a student stays motivated to practice, and practices everyday, even if it is 15 minutes per day. This will make a huge difference in how a student progresses. Effective practice takes applying each lesson every day.
