Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
As I mentioned, I believe creativity should be encouraged. I am okay with any pace the student goes at, however I will still hold them to a high standard in terms of effort put in. I try and make each lesson fun and enjoyable, as well as a creative experience that still focuses on theory and fundamentals. I generally tend to split the lessons up into warm up techniques, repertoire, sight reading, listening/dictation, discussing music the student likes/wants to learn, and improvisation and songwriting.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is to connect with each student. I believe it is important, because every student learns at a different pace and in different ways, so the lessons can not be overly structured. I believe that all aspects of music (playing the pieces, reading music, theory, rhythm and history of the composers) are all important and should be covered in the lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
When a beginning student pushes a key down on the piano, sound comes out this is unfortunately not true with guitar. In the beginning it can be quite challenging for students to use their left hand to guide the right finger to the right string to the right position on the string while simultaneously using their right hand to guide the pick to the right string and plucking it and this is all for one note!

I have been teaching private lessons since 2006 and love doing so. I volunteered at my arts high school for 2 years helping with all of the Jazz Band, AP Music Theory, and private instruction in multiple instruments. In 2009 I graduated from Cooperative Arts & Humanities Magnet High School focusing in Music. During my time there I also took AP Music Theory classes, as well as attended 2 summer and winter programs through the Yale School of Music. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I started taking private piano and recorder lessons at a very young age. I also started participating in small and big competitions at a young age. I went to a professional music school when I was in year 10, and proceeded to study in a music college. I started music learning at a very young age, and continued to be mentored in the musical direction, so pursing a career in professional musicianship was a natural and organic decision for me.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. No one in my family is a professional musician apart from me, but everyone of my family member plays an instrument to a high standard. My mother was an opera major in college, and had a short career before having me and my siblings. My father was in church choirs during school and guitar club during college, and he has a love for Baroque music just like me. My grandmother is an amateur Opera singer who sings regularly with her local music-classroom productions. My older sister played the flute and won several competitions in the flute before she went on to college to study art. My little sister is a media major at college, but minors in music, that of violin performance in particular. My little brother is a young pianist, jazz drummer, violinist, and DJ who wishes to pursue a career in music in the future!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Simply my love for music and different instruments. When I was in high school, I had the opportunity to choose a third instrument (alongside the recorder and piano) so I chose to play the oboe and I can played it in the orchestra. When I was in music college, I was very passionate about contemporary Japanese repertoires, so I bought a shakuhachi and learned it myself, with occasional lessons from professional shakuhachi teachers. Towards the end of my college years, I fell in love with the flute, so I started taking second study Baroque flute one a week with the flute professor in my college. Deciding to start playing a new instrument was always driven by my musical passion, efficiency, and determination to accomplish it alongside my main instruments.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love early music- Baroque, renaissance, and medieval. Baroque is such a pure genre with so much emotions that can be hear and expressed clearly. I especially adore French Baroque; I think music from the French Baroque period is the most elegant and noble of all. Music from the Renaissance and Medieval period is vastly about working together in a group with other musicians which is what I love. I also like their modal sound that is special to our modern ears that are used to the Western music sounds.
