Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to enjoy myself, whether it's working or specifically NOT working. I am enthusiastic, positive, funny, caring, and dedicated to my craft and my students.

If you want to learn, I want to teach. We're a perfect match! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Very flexible, friendly, understanding and supportive teacher. I encourage my students to play duets with me and their friends (if applicable) and participate in recitals.I also try to teach them basic music theory unless they object, and help them to understand music, learn more about the history of music, and related matters. Some of my students take Royal Conservatory of Music tests regularly. I try to accommodate my students' interests and needs and always open to new things -say if they want to learn guitar accompaniment toa song they want to sing or solo/ accompaniment for a band.

I have been playing the guitar for well over 30 years performing and touring extensively throughout all years. I am a founding member of Triada Guitar Trio and Four of a Kind Guitar Quartet. With these groups, I have performed at well over 800 concerts throughout Europe and the United States. I have played guitar concertos with prominent Symphony Orchestras such as the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, South Coast Symphony, and Huntington Symphony of West Virginia. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I like to play audio/recordings for the students when possible, so that the student has an idea of the style, or the piece that we are studying. This gives them something to reference to, but also gives them an aural aspect in their playing/practice habits. I also model for them constantly, so that they get more visual and aural reinforcement. I sometimes give them short music concept/vocabulary assignments, such as learning the names of the notes on the staff, counting rhythms, meters, etc; all having to do with music theory and musical concepts that can be directly applied to their practical aspect of playing.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 1990 and began my professional teaching career in 1992. I consider myself an ambassador for and devotee of fine music - no matter what the genre may be. My goal in my teaching and performances is to transfer my passion and love for music and to inspire people - the way music has continually inspired me. Teaching and judging competitions does not leave me a lot of time for concertizing, though I do still perform. Read More

I have more than 35 years experience as a private piano instructor. I specialize in the Suzuki Piano Method, and have received teacher training in the method through the Suzuki Assoc. of the Americas. I am comfortable teaching all ages, including preschool. I believe that every child is able to learn to play the piano with the appropriate method and good parental involvement. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make it your goal to practice just 15 minutes a day and your growth as a musician will happen very quickly. Waiting for the last day before lessons does not give you the benefit of repetition over many days. Also, once you start your 15 minutes, you might actually enjoy the creative process and spend more time than you originally planned. The hurdle that we all need to overcome is TIME! We are all busy people, but music is essential to the human soul, so it is so important to make the time! Just 15 minutes a day will truly do wonders.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For your child to be successful at the repetition and structure of learning the piano, they should show an interest and joy in music and learning an instrument. Your child will most likely be between 8 and 10 years old with a 30 minute attention span for sitting still long enough to do something like homework or read a book. Your child will have the fine and gross motor skills to write alphabet letters. It is imperative that your child be able to read and write, so they can be successful.
For vocal students, your child should be able to read and write, so again between the ages of 8-10 are good for beginning. The students at this age will catch up very quickly to peers who may have started their music training at a younger age. They will be musically and developmentally ready to start their music instruction.
When will I start to see results?
Enthusiastic parents and students can work together to see results. Parents can help students remember to practice at home as part of their daily routine. After 2-3 months of diligent 15 minutes/day practice, the students will show dramatic growth in their music skills. Parents who have a positive attitude and help students feel enthusiastic about practice will provide the structure and support students need to be more successful. Students should also find music that excites them and watch videos of musicians who inspire them and study the style of music they want to emulate.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was the pianist for the LDS San Bernardino Stake Choir for over 4 years. I also had the honor of assisting with choir conducting there. I have accompanied youth and children's choirs for over 20 years. For singing, I have sung duets and solos since I was in high school and I am always watching and learning and applying new style and techniques to my performances.
