Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
YOUR IMPROVEMENTS AND PASSION FOR MUSIC WOULD BE MY REWARDS! Setting realistic goals in the first place and helping the students achieve their goals would fuel the desire to progress, and bring more energy to challenge oneself. I would find out the inspirations together with the students and help the students to bring out the undiscovered parts of themselves as a musician! I am so excited in building up a life style of learning music to enhance students' musicianships and more interests in music arts and beauty! Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion Keyboard
I try to be as flexible as possible, many things would depend on the student's age and background. I pay a lot of attention to movement when playing the instrument, I try to do this from the lesson one with an absolute beginner. I consider knowing music theory to be important but secondary, so I try to familiarise my students (especially children) with the instrument from the very beginning keeping the amount of theoretical information minimal.

This marked my debut as a soloist in front of a full orchestra with the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto, featuring my own cadenza. During my time at the Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington, IN, I studied under several professors, including Douglas Lindsay, Kevin Cobb, and Jason Bergman. I was a part of numerous large ensembles, such as the symphonic band, wind ensemble, university orchestra, symphony orchestra, brass choir, and brass band. Read More

My own musical education draws upon not only more than two decades of experience learning with professional musicians from all over the world, but also my varied extra-musical experiences including, but not limited to: competitive swimming, photography, weight-lifting, and kinesiology. Through this multifaceted lifestyle, Ive come to realize that success as a musician is not only based on dedication to the craft. Through thoughtful connections made across various aspects of our lives, its possible to find solutions for seemingly unrelated problems. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I recently had a student whose school participates in a statewide competition. My student came in second on her first time, and won it the following two times she was in it. She graduated in 2019 and auditioned for three college programs and was accepted by all three. She has not been the first to leave me and go on to study music in college. Other students I have participate in their school Holiday performances as accompanists of the other children singing.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I just liked the sound of the piano. It was featured at the first concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra I went to.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The work that I put in as a youth enabled me to graduate from music school cum laude. After which I was able to travel to Europe to study. I also worked as an assistant conductor for an opera company while still in school. The performances I have given.
When will I start to see results?
Every student is different! You cannot expect the same results from every student. Patience is the key thing that the parents need. Encourage your child at every opportunity. But also make sure they know what they are required to do. Then success will come
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I would say that the second teacher I had at Settlement School had the greatest influence on me. He was a demanding teacher but not a strict disciplinarian. He expected the students to be prepared so that they could make progress at every lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
As a general rule, I would say that when a student has learned that alphabet and can read some is the time to begin. There are exceptions, of course. If the child has shown some talent or interest at an early age, then starting lessons could be called for. Remember, if there is someone in the home who has had previous lessons on the instrument, that gives the child a great advantage if they have questions.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The student must be able to practice without as little background interference as possible. When they practice, they should know that there is a difference between playing and practice. Practice is the time to put in the work to iron out any problems they are having. In other words, DON'T play from beginning to end every time. If you have a problem with a particular passage, then turn that spot into an exercise in order to learn it better, then put it back into the context of the piece to see it you have mastered it.
