Instruments: Piano
I really enjoy sharing the passion of music with developing musicians. I have taught all ages and levels. I really get a thrill out of watching people progress. Adding music to someone's life is really wonderful. I have been passionate about music for the last 50 years of my life and sharing this passion gives me great joy. One of the reasons that I really love teaching is because it really gets me involved with music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience begins when I apprenticed under my Choral teacher in high school and she would ask me to work one on one with certain singers that needed extra help. I started teaching private lessons part time at 17 and continued all through college. I have been consistently teaching students in my home for the past 5 years. I am a firm believer that in order to truly excel in anything you must have a classical foundation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
I love forming partnerships with my students. When we work together, we begin to speak the same language and work toward your goals in a positive way. You will have an opportunity to play music from various styles and musical periods. There is no predestined path here. I tried that when I was in my 20's, and learned very quickly that every student is different. Everyone's paths diverged, and all those notes I had taken to plan ahead for the next six months didn't work at all. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Conga Latin Percussion
My teaching experience dates back to 1996, when I began teaching lessons to children in at-risk communities in dance and music, while going through school in Oakland. I then continued in Stockton, CA, where I developed music and dance programs in the Recreation Centers, and later developed my own non-profit organization. I began writing my own grants to teach classes in after-school programs, and in 2013, while attending my music program, I began instucting private music classes in classical guitar, beg. piano and beg. voice.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber's Piano Adventures or Suzuki's Piano School, however I am open to other books. Faber focuses more on written and piano practice whereas Suzuki focuses on auditory learning and piano practice. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will 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. Read More

Teaching piano is my passion and I always strive to give personal attention to each and every student. I especially enjoy helping students develop their love of piano playing and their piano skills and watching them reap the benefits of their hard work and dedication I am active in participating and attending convention as hosted by the Music Teachers Association of California and other teacher's workshop in town and other workshops hosted by the Music publishers and well known composers.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I thought the trombone looked unique, and once I picked it up, I never put it down!
