Instruments: Piano
I assisted my piano teacher for private lesson teaching/coaching when I was in Malaysia, and had teach students during college days. Other than the traditional 1 on 1 private lessons, I also taught group piano classes for music major students, and non music major beginners in collage for over 2 years.I always act, present and perform in a professional manner and strive for continuous growth in my own musical journey.As a teacher, I pursue to motivate and guide the students to succeed in their music learning journey with a positive attitudes and open mind, and strive to be the most supportive resource and role model of students, colleagues and community in the music field.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience has began more recently, but I am a teacher who has had the opportunity to be in school learning new things, while being able to also pass down my discoveries with students. I've also found that a combination of classical, modern, and jazz music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their musical experiences. It's important to make sure my students are staying motivated and always learning more than one genre. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Organ Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
The aforementioned points tend to help the student progress and gain a passion for whatever they're studying in music. I've also found that a curriculum that is full of listening homework from all over the world and all throughout history to go a long way in helping students learn things they might not have even known they liked or loved. My students are encouraged to enter the world free of fear, be it performing and or writing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
As a piano teacher, my approach to education aligns with the Classical Model, emphasizing the development of critical thinking and listening skills alongside fundamental reading, writing, and thinking abilities. I believe in fostering a classroom environment that encourages participation and engagement, utilizing varied historical themes and musical materials to promote analysis of primary and secondary sources. To ensure all students can succeed, I provide a range of methods and assignments, including writing assignments, office hours, and exam review outlines. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I always work with a method book, and have a range of fun books to choose from from beginner to advanced for guitar and piano. I use a separate sheet of paper as a log of each day's lesson at the end to show what we worked on, what to practice, and other notes or positive remarks ( ‘great job’, etc.) With older students I encourage exploring your own musical tastes and learning from the artists you like.

Instruments: Piano Accordion Music Keyboard
My teaching style is all about steady, consistent progress. It is very valuable to dedicate even the smallest amount of time each day to practice. I like to provide my students a range of exercises to reinforce material that's already been learned, familiarize themselves with new concepts, and then a little bit extra if they feel inspired to branch out. I aim, also, to share my enthusiasm about music with my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginnng students who are children , I typically start with Faber's Piano Adventures. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals , I begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I encourage analyzing the piece especially if the student is having difficulty memorizing it read about the composer or listen to other compositions of the same composer Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first learned the basics of playing the clarinet and played in school bands from 4th grade until middle school. When I was in 7th grade, a friend of mine let me try his saxophone and I found it was easier to express myself on that instrument, so I switched. While studying to become a music teacher, I realized that playing both instruments would help me the most in my career, so I began to practice the clarinet again as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Schedule two or three times during the week outside of the private lesson where you can practice without interruption. Make sure you have a practice area where you can keep your metronome, reeds, music stand, etc. in one place. Develop a warmup routine that is consistent and touches on all the areas of breathing, embouchure, posture, technical exercises, articulation, and so forth, before moving on to literature, tunes, or band music. Keep a practice log in which you note when you practice and what you practiced and for how long.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It’s a good question, and I am going to touch on 3 things to consider before starting.
1. Can Your Child Focus For Short Periods Of Time On A Task?
If a bit of focused concentration is there, we can build on that attention span. At first we might be stringing together little tiny bites of concentration, with built in tasks in between. Over time we can stretch that out and your child will learn to focus and concentrate for longer periods of time.
As long as some concentration is happening you are on the right track for getting started.
2. Will Your Child Interact With Another Adult Who Is Giving Them Instructions?
For many students this is the first time they will work in a close one on one interaction with someone who is not a parent or relative. Depending on the child, this may be no big deal or may be something that you will need to work on before lessons start.
3. The Most Important Consideration For If Your Child Is Ready To Start Music Lessons Is:
Are You The Parent Ready To Undertake Music Lessons With Your Child?
Research shows that one of the biggest indicators of a child’s long term success in music is actually the parents long term commitment to music. I think it’s because we approach activities our children are “trying out” much differently than those we are committed to them doing long term. We put more time and emphasis on helping them form habits and stay disciplined about something we want them to still be doing years from now, for example.
Music lessons, and especially practicing with your child daily, takes a lot of time as a parent.
You will have a wonderful opportunity to bond with your child, understand how they learn, and help them to flourish and thrive. You will also need to find to make room in your family’s schedule to practice and perhaps sacrifice time for other things in order to practice daily with your child.
