Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Bass Guitar Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My method of teaching is that I always start from the theoretical part of every instrument or skill I teach because if they don’t have the background understanding they will be limited in their performances. I motivate by telling them my story how I started with no instrument I used borrow a two octaves keyboard from a choir member just to learn the piano my self I had no internet and no money so if I was able to learn in that condition they can do better.I teach the secrets of becoming a professional musician or music producer which one of them is consistency.

Instruments: Piano
I tend to be more laid back and relaxed. I want students to feel comfortable making mistakes, improvisation and creating their own sounds without fear of harsh criticism. I set up goals for each student based on their interests and what I feel is going to help them advance. This will include genres they may not like but I want to give them experience with a variety of different sounds and rhythms. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I have taught siblings in a class type setting. I have taught preschoolers at preschool. I have taught Little Mozarts to little ones. I use music in the homes already, sometimes I provide things from the 50s that my aunt and uncle scribbled in: leila Fletcher, Edna Mae Burnam, classical composers-mozart, debussy, chopan, clementi, beethoven, bach. Sometimes I provide my own children's music books, Faber and Faber, Bastien, Alfred. I have taught preschool through adults.I substitute teach and have included composers in my repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I want my students to enjoy playing the piano. There can be many times when piano teachers assign a student a piece without getting the input of the student. I feel that it is important to follow the method books, but also to allow the students to play a piece of their choosing that will encourage them to continue to play the piano. During the first few lessons with a student, I will get to know what musical styles they like and find music that they will enjoy playing on top of the music that I assign to them. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The economy is rough. Your child still deserves to learn music. Growing up, it was not always easy for my parents to afford piano lessons. Despite that difficulty, I developed a love for music, (and particularly the piano) that has lasted throughout my life. I have played the piano for twelve years, and continue work to improve myself as a pianist every day. I was lucky enough to receive lessons from a woman who had her Master's Degree in Piano Performance from BYU, and my teaching methods mirror hers. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am mainly using Alfred's Premier Piano series in my curriculum for beginning students who are children. I include material from other method books that help meet the needs I want for my students. It is very important for any student at any level to have a strong technical foundation starting with proper posture and hand shape. When learning new songs and pieces, I start off with aural experiences for the students, especially when rhythm is difficult. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start by warming up with scales, rhythm exercises, and etudes. This helps promote a good foundation for future progression and goals. Afterwards, I focus on where my playing is weaker in a piece of music. I work on it over and over until you can confidently play it without issue. After that, I work on connecting that part I worked on with the rest of the piece of music. Sometimes after a while of this, it is helpful to just sight-read or arbitrarily play another piece of music for fun so my fingers and mind can have more flexibility and a break.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chaconne, I remember first listening to a recording of it by Jascha Heifetz, it was so powerful and conveyed so well a sense of a story. Perhaps it was also because I have something with minor chords in beginning of compositions. After I learned the story of how Bach came to write that piece of music it gained more depth and beauty to me. While it is a difficult violin solo, I also enjoy a good challenge especially when it is something that means much to me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started with piano when I was younger and I did enjoy it. My mom did not really get the chance when she was younger so she really wanted me to have that opportunity. Later when I was leaving elementary school I became fascinated with the violin. It was maybe because I wanted to enter orchestra in middle school with my friends or I just really liked the sound. I have to give kudos to my younger self because violin was one powerful way that helped me get through high school and really gave me an appreciation for music in later years.
When will I start to see results?
For me, it is when certain skills are ingrained in my muscle memory to a point I can do it without thinking too hard about it. It is when I have mastery over basic skills and techniques to the point my main focus is less on the building blocks of a piece of music and more on how it connects all together.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My orchestra teacher in high school and my private teacher were both strongly impacted me. They put so much patience and passion in their music and teaching that it was captivating and encouraging. The hard work and faith they had in me helped me progress to the point that I felt so much joy and freedom when I played. It is a legacy from them I wish to keep up.
