Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have lots of experience giving private lessons, and the optimal time range with respect to a student's attention is 30-45 minutes. I am willing try one-hour lessons, but students usually reach a "wall" around the 45-minute mark. We can surely discuss this prior to beginning the lessons. There are several pathways that I lead my students along with respect to their learning the guitar. I provide some of my students with instruction in sight-reading of classical guitar sheet music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Accordion Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
Originally being a self-taught musician, I began with piano and harmonica, then eventually branched out to guitar, bass, banjo, among several others. I have ran sound equipment from an early age as well, learning how to set rigs for full bands and how to mix and master tracks for recording purposes. I have met and played with many famous and unfamous musicians, and find that the highest amount of talent is undiscovered and uncultivated. Read More

My teaching style has been described as one that rewards hard work and dedication, but leaves room for experimentation and fun. I believe that each student has unique gifts to offer the world, and it is my job to uncover them through a combination of connecting to the individual as a person and allowing their personality and aptitude to shine. My goal is always to inspire my students to want to learn, instead of fostering an environment where they feel forced into it. Read More

I am a very relaxed and chill person, even as a teacher. I will push you, though. I know that students' successes must be acknowledged and I do not hold back praise for my students. At the same time, I also bring their weaknesses for them to see. I aim to help them come up with plans to overcome their weaknesses and better their playing. At the same time, I look to see how far a student can be pushed. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Music is, inherently, a performing art, a poetic mode of expression and communication. Thus I firmly believe that all pianists, including professionals, enthusiasts, and novices, not only benefit and grow from the experience of public performances but also deserve such opportunities to play for others and be listened to. I challenge and encourage all my students to participate in semi-annual studio recitals and make the preparation an integral part of my teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My private teaching experience dates back to my late high school years and after I graduated from college I began to teach professionally and I also include a wider range of instrumentations. I specialized in woodwinds and I can also teach novice piano and brass instruments as well. In my seven years of teaching experiences, I had helped many students with their auditions and musical growth. Some of them made All-State and/or junior All-State, many students made into All-County bands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Recorder
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents tell me that I began to be interested in the violin at age two. I have no recollection of this, but after years of asking to play the violin, I began my violin lessons at age seven. My love of the instrument is still there now and is stronger than it was when I was a child. Growing up, I was really small for my age and very uncoordinated when it came to dance and sports. The violin was perfect for someone of small stature, as they make them in smaller sizes for children.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I would say that the musical accomplishment I am most proud of is just being able to enstill the joy of music into my students. My goal for them is to truly enjoy their instrument and most do! Besides that, I am proud that I have successful achieved a bachelors and masters degree in music. Some classes, like conducting class, pushed me out of my comfort zone, but made me a better musician in the process. I am also proud of the ensemble groups that I have played with for weddings. It is such a joy to make beautiful music for one’s special day.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because I specialize in young beginner students, not many have one awards. That being said, my older students have been selected for All-District orchestra in PA, York Youth Symphony Orchestra, York Junior Symphony Orchestra, All-County Orchestra in Harford County, PA, Harford Youth Orchestra, and Harford String Orchestra. My students have been selected for admission in the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School and also have been awarded scholarships to attend music camps. My students have received high ratings in county and state solo and ensemble festivals in Maryland.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think everything about the violin is difficult. Probably the one thing that is the hardest is intonation, also known as playing in tune. Since the violin does not have frets like a guitar, it can be challenging to figure out where to put your fingers. Beginner students frequently use tapes on their stringed instruments in order to grasp the finger placement. Intermediate and advanced students must use their ears instead of their eyes for finger placement. To do that, your ears must be keen and then you have to have the muscle memory as well for exact finger placement.
