Music has always been my number 1 passion, and I have taught private music lessons since I was in high school.  Since graduating with my Master's degree in 2011, I have become a certified music teacher for grades K-12.  I modify all lessons depending on the student to best suite the students needs and prepare them for the maximum learning experience.  Read More

I enjoy working at the begining to intermediate level for children as I get to introduce the earliest piano musical skills and I usually spend thirty minutes on teaching piano practice methods and thirty minutes on music theory skills. Currently, I use books like Dozen a Day, Scales and Hanon to build good finger techniques, John Thompson and John W.Schaum books for songs and theory preparation. For adults, I would use books related to adult beginning stages in piano and music theory. Read More

I am jazz pianist and composer. A master of spontaneous jazz improvisation piano principles and a modern performer, teacher, and composer. I am the author of The Theory of Harmony of Music which for the first time simply and comprehensively explains the laws and principles of creating musical works of any genre, style, and time period with preciseness. Stated simply, I created a theory that explains everything in music, not just my own style of improvisation. Read More

The best thing as a music teacher personally is to see of my students develop a love for music. It is also important that each individual student will improve at his or her own pace and his or her own level. I will encourage this by making realistic goals for all my students at each individual lesson. Telling the individual student what they have accomplished musically and what they have learned musically at the music lesson will help give the individual student to want to learn more about music.

The method books applies to my philosphy of teaching rhythm in syllables (ta, ti-ti, etc.) and found success with all my students in their abilty to read notes and play well. I also love their arrangements on their jazz, rock and roll, and popular series. I also try to include composition in their learning to make it fun and challenging. Read More
