I always use variety of method books depending on the capability of each student in grasping the instructions. I have a syllabus that I am following base on the Music Teacher's Association syllabus in preparation for a Certificate of Merrit examination. And for those younger students that are not ready yet in taking the Statewide Music examination, a Royal School of Music syllabus is what I am using in order for our studies to be on track. Read More

In addition to studying clarinet, I am a professional flutist and saxophonist and have been performing in Northern California over the past 5 years. 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
Instruments: Piano
There I cultivated my skills as a soloist, ensemble player, and accompanist for several student recitals. I received his Bachelors of the Arts in Musical Composition and Psychology, with Honors in both, in 2009. While working towards my degree I began teaching both group classes and private lessons in the Elk Grove area eventually expanding to the greater Sacramento area and Davis during my almost 20 years of teaching. I became a member of the Music Teacher’s Association of California (MTAC) in 2010 and held many positions in the organization for the Yolo County Branch, including Chair of the Composer’s Today program (a program that holds an annual recital for students who compose their own music), Recording Secretary, and I'm currently finishing my tenure as Branch President.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
For beginners, I start with a mixture of the Suzuki method and the Essential Elements book. I find that combining ear training while simultaneously developing the ability to read music only accelerates the learning process. Teaching adults of any level are all about assessing interests and goals. I find out where the interest in creativity lies in every individual and work on developing that so the lessons remain fun and fulfilling. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding then seeing my student progress and overcome the difficulties of starting to play an instrument. Furthermore, it is very important that each one of my students progresses at their own pace. That being said, I encourage progression by setting realistic goals depending on the student's level. In addition, I create the students curriculum based on the styles of music students prefer as to keep their interest while giving them useful knowledge and techniques for any situation involving playing, improvising, or musical comprehension.

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!
