I am a passionate, motivated, and an experienced music instructor. I have been playing guitar and other various instruments since I was 11 - I'm currently in my mid thirties. I graduated in 2014 with an Associates degree in music from Sierra Community College, where my main focus was guitar and composition. Soon after, I transferred into Sacramento State's guitar program where I gained extensive knowledge of guitar scales, chords, and applicable techniques that make every day playing more enjoyable and professional.

Instruments: Piano
I always try to make the lesson fun. I look for things that will keep my students inspired. I am extremely patient. I always encourage my students in a positive way. I try not to be too pushy. If a student doesn't want to learn a piece then I will try and find something that they are more inspired to learn. I like to give them a choice. I will play a few pieces for them and see which one they like more. Read More

Music teaching methods formed many centuries ago and modern teachers use them. How to transmit my knowledge's to my students is my method. It can to show them what they need to do and we decide with way is the best for them. I help my students think about all future questions that does appear because when performing,a lot of questions need to be solved before playing on the scene. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment. I incorporate styles and songs the student enjoys listening to or playing as well. I like to teach classical music. With this foundation, ALL other music is much easier to play, and helps tremendously with their sight reading skills. Performance recitals are recommended, but not required. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons almost 20 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio, several Piano Academies, and students' homes. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I approach teaching in a way that encourages students to learn at a pace that's comfortable for them. Since the lessons are one -on-one, there is no need to keep up with a herd like you're in school. So I try to give a healthy balance of goals that are attainable only if the student practices and reviewing material from the past to see what has been retained while also showing how certain musical material is not like riding a bike... you will forget without some upkeep.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
In high school I wanted to draw comic books!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz is so much fun, and full of different styles within the genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I was always writing songs in school and wanted to play them, so I learned piano.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I thought the trombone looked unique, and once I picked it up, I never put it down!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
MM in Performance. Performing on stage is on of my favorite things to do. I've done it so much that it feels natural, so I decided to get my degree in performance. But I do encourage students in high school to think outside of the box and try things in college that might not be as comfortable, just to expand their horizons and see what else is out there.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start off with short practices (15-30 minutes)
Practice consistently! A little bit every day helps.
Make goals for yourself to accomplish during the practice time.
If something is difficult, practice that part more than anything else.
Listen to professionals playing your instrument so you have a good idea of what kind of sound you should produce.
Listen to recordings of the music you are playing to know what the style/tone of the piece is
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had multiple teachers who inspired me. From elementary school to high school, I had very supportive music teachers who always encouraged me to push myself, join in bands and ensembles, enter into contests and summer camps. Throughout my schooling, I always had someone by my side telling me I could do it, whatever it was.
When will I start to see results?
I believe that depends on how diligently your student practices. Practice time is essential to learning music, or else the once-a-week lesson will have very little impact on the student after a week of not practicing. The students who even dedication 10-20 minutes of practice every day make very good results within the month, because they are developing muscle memory through playing a certain instrument consistently.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They need to be able to focus and listen to instructions for at least 30 minutes. I've had piano students in kindergarten, so it depends on the student. I started playing trombone when I was 9 years old, but I didn't take lessons until I was in high school. The most important requirement for me is that the student wants to learn!
