Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Keyboard
My philosophy is mainly individualistic. If a student is young, there are many personalities you may encounter- some naturally focused, others not. While I will still aim to deliver essentially the same content, my approach with each child varies based on their attention span and focus. A lack of focus often hints at a creative bent, so I may listen a bit more than with a student naturally prone to taking directions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I approach teaching as a means to help the student develop their own relationship with music development. I firmly believe that all music students are their own best teachers, and a great teacher helps the student learn to discover themselves. With that in mind, I aim to help the student learn the fundamentals of their instrument, expose the student to new musical avenues and ideas that inspire them to work further, and challenge them to reach for new heights in their understanding and proficiency.

I am a music teacher who loves to work with students. I love to share my experiences and I like to make the music lessons fun and exciting. I take music very seriously and I expect students to do the same. I love to see the progress in my students and that's what keeps me going! I like to explore all types of genres, from Gregorian chant to Popular music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Saxophone Clarinet
I have an extensive list of teaching experiences in public schools and communities in Indiana such as the Boys and Girls Club and Middle Way House of Bloomington, and Bloomington public schools. I have taken methods classes on teaching band and string instruments. I have specialization in teaching clarinet and voice, as I have taken specific pedagogy courses designed on the very detailed approaches of teaching these two crafts. I have experience giving clarinet lessons to my peers in my methods classes as well as piano lessons to a first grade beginning student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 9 years ago and have been consistently teaching student in my studio for the last 2 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key point I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for singing. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy singing and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I adapt the method to the student. I usually use Nancy Faber series for the young child. I try to familiarize the student with different types of music so he/she is exposed to many styles and periods of musicand therefore, can choose what he/she prefers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Recorder Keyboard
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would like to be a psychologist, or a music therapist. I have always been very fascinated in the human minds, and people's words, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, actions etc. always get me thinking about the meaning and mechanism behind them. Further education in psychology is still a dream of mine, and I wish to become a music therapist one day in the future (alongside my career in music performance and education) to combine my knowledge in music, performance, education, and the yet to be explored therapeutic works.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For the recorder: good sound, and good technique. Many people see recorder as an easy and unserious instrument. It is easy to produce a sound on the recorder, but it is extremely hard and takes a lot of dedication to produce a good sound and clean technique (finger technique, articulations etc.). So, I think the hardest thing to master on the recorder is not merely to make sounds, but to make beautiful and clean sounds.
For the piano: precision, and expression. Advanced piano repertoires involves various methods and techniques, and to get them all together precisely takes many hours and years of practice. On top of the extremely tough precisions to handle, piano works have some of the most expressive styles with two hands representing so many different voices.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Yes, Bachelor of music in performance. I wanted to achieve the highest excellency in my instrumental playing, and I believe a degree in performance would have the highest standard for performance in both entry requirement, assessment requirement, and teaching standard. I also understood that a degree in performance also have heavy emphasis in musicology and educational out reach projects with the opportunity to take classes in composition, so I thought an education in performance would be the most well rounded choice.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my ensemble works with various chamber music groups I've worked with and continue to work with. I enjoy playing solo on stage, but playing with a group of musicians, making music collectively, combining different musical ideas into a final expression is something very magical for me. The love for chamber music is also a big reason why I chose to join a historical performance department in Europe, where the medieval style of musicianship is reenacted.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I developed a love for Baroque music when I was in high school, and I succeeded in several early music recorder competitions. With a combination of passion and rewards, I continued to pursue a very special major in the recorder under the historical performance department in the Royal Academy of Music, London.
