Instruments: Piano
I began my musical journey with piano lessons at the age of six. In 2003 I received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from U.C. Santa Barbara and received of Master of Arts in Teaching from National University in 2012. My pedagogical experience includes teaching piano performance in my private studio as well as at the Crowden Music Center in Berkeley and at the French American International Music Conservatory in San Francisco.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Double Bass
For beggining students and especially children I will start with books such as the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has graped the fundamentals of musical theory and scales , we will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for skill set and age. For adults I simply try to find what the studenet is interested in, and guide my instruction accordinglu to keep the lessons fun and engaging, no matter their ability level! Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
Teaching piano classes is something I continued at UMass/Amherst with Continuing Education students who were mostly from foreign countries. I thrive on meeting people from all age groups and skill levels. Collaborating with others is what floats my boat! I will ask questions to clarify what you are thinking without using musical jargon. (It can be done!) My goal has evolved with experience. Facilitating my students' understanding of music has the wonderful result of their increased enjoyment in listening to recordings and attending live performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience is primarily with private voice and piano lessons. I began teaching as a private instructor in 2010, and have taught privately since. I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse age group from Pre-k to Seniors, and from Beginners to Advanced. I teach fundamentals and technique, but my primary focus in teaching is to inspire the student to explore their instrument, and what it's capable of. I am much more inclined toward cultivating Artists than I am in cultivating immaculate performers. Read More

From experience, these are all the basic tools a student needs to work on their fundamentals before diving into full fledged solo pieces for competitions. Beginning students have to start from the bottom. These students will start by learning how to hold the violin and the bow, for example, and slowly but surely get into reading music and eventually playing simple scales and melodies from an elementary book. Some adults, however, may be interested in learning an instrument because they want to play a song they love. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
My name is Lauren and I am a voice and piano instructor who has the goal of not only improving your voice or piano skill, but also improving your confidence and presence on stage. My love of music dates back to my early childhood and it has been a dream come true getting to share it with budding musicians both young and old. I have had the opportunity to work with some extraordinary musicians in my career and have come to understand the importance of not only teaching solos but also coming together as a team. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Music has always been a part of my life. I became involved in music, theater and dance at a young age, performing in countless professional productions. In my teens and early adulthood, I began writing and recording music and became involved in a number of recording projects that led me to teaching. I gave my first lesson over a decade ago and I continue to perform when I can. I graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy with concentrations in Theater and Music, and I worked for Women's Audio Mission in San Francisco. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of the teachers I have worked with from middle school all the way through college have inspired me in many different ways. However, the teachers that inspired me the most were my private lesson instructors in high school and college. I feel like one on one work with talented professionals throughout the past 8 years really jumpstarted my passion for music because of how personalized their teaching was to my specific way of learning.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I find that effectively practicing different concepts and fundamentals is directly linked to how easily we can relate the practice to our own aspirations on the instrument. For this reason I always make sure to show students exactly what the practice of certain concepts will lead to in their own playing down the road and how it correlates to their personal goals. This way, students will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel while staying inspired. Segmenting practicing is very important as well so there is always a clear idea of what you are trying to improve at in the time you have.
When will I start to see results?
The rate at which you see noticable results in playing and understanding concepts depends on many factors including, but not limited to: experience playing your instrument, early exposure to different genres of music, average amount of time consuming music per day, the difficulty of the concepts being worked on, age, stamina, amount of practice time, etc. When it comes to progressing on an instrument, everyone is different. Mastering a certain scale could take one person a few weeks and another person a full year. Every student has their strengths and weaknesses. As long as a beginner student does focused daily practice for just 30 minutes a day, it's possible for them to sound like a completely different player in as soon as a week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Knowing if your child is ready to start taking lessons has nothing to do with their experience or abilities on their instrument and everything to do with their willingness to start learning about music. If they don't have an interest in learning music, putting them on a practice schedule could deter them from ever gaining an interest. On the other hand, putting a child that's already interested in music through lessons can skyrocket their passion and abilities.
