Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a local PNW artist and educator with a passion for both classical and modern music. I believe that in order to call oneself a musician, you need to be able to appreciate all forms and sounds throughout musical history. My goal is to bring high caliber training to my area, but most importantly to foster a life long passion for music and the arts. Alongside repertoire, I also teach music theory from beginning to advanced. Read More

I'm cranky, strict, and impatient. Just Kidding! Contrary to many stereotypical views of old-style piano teachers, I try to stay upbeat, fresh, and FUN! I feel successful if my students are progressing, if they have fun, and I can motivate them. Read More

For just about any instrument, a key approach of mine is to teach students how to play the songs they love - and then the musical building blocks that make up said songs. Then, I teach the rudiments, patterns, and music theory behind those building blocks, and teach the students to be able to figure this all out on their own in the future through ear-training. I tend to like the Essential Elements series for band instruments, the Alfred books for piano and guitar, the Real Book for a wide variety of jazz repertoire. Read More

Enjoying the outdoors immensely, I often find myself riding my bicycle, jogging and hiking in the Great Northwest. I have a large interest in soccer as well, spending time enjoying watching and playing it around the city. Music is largely my main passion, I play it and enjoy attending live music Covid permitting.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in depending on the ability level. I would also start with books for adult beginners if needed. My goal as a teacher is to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

My teaching methods depend on the instrument, age and experience of the student, and the goals for the lessons. Every student will develop a solid base of fundamentals and music reading that grows into study of a variety of styles of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started to teach piano when I was in college, so I know how to communicate to students and parents, choose the right pieces, and tell them how to practice at home. In addition, I encourage students to perform and attend competitions to gain confidence and experience. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music is classical, especially romantic era like Chopin, Schumann, Rachmaninoff. I sometimes play or listen to jazz like telenious monk or ella fitzgerald too, but i choose classical over them because i never get tired of them n listen to them every single day. Music gives me joy, comfort, tears, heart warming n pounding all together. I have to listen to them every single day to survive, especially on my sad or depressing days. Think about it! Why would people use music for all those different occasions? Because it helps each of the occasions out to be even happier or give comfort.
When will I start to see results?
It really depends on how focused you are n how much time you spend practicing with. I sometimes have students requesting to have lessons with me more than once a week. I tell them directly n right away that it seems like a waste of money. Having a multiple time of lesson per week does not make you play better or learn faster. You should rather practice more everyday or at least 5 days a week at least than 2 to 3 days a week, for example. Having a great teacher would help to be able to learn quickly or play well, of course, than a someone who is not as famous. However, students should not think taking many lessons per week would automatically make them play superbly well all of a sudden. There is no easy thing we can accomplish in life, especially in music. This is something you being able to accomplish a tiny bit at a time by doing it everyday, diligently, n sincerely.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I usually prefer teaching students who are at least 6 yrs old of the age. The reason is a lot of times the students who are younger than that do not seem to read or write n that makes the piano learning experience pretty difficult n frustrating for both the instructor n the student. I think the student doesn't have to read or write fluently, but at least be able to read the 7 alphabet we use in music, n be able to count 1 to 10 since we have 10 fingers. Also i have experienced before that if a student doesn't read, they don't know what their home work is. Therefore, someone like their mom or dad always have to tell them what it is by reading it for them. Quite inconvenient i would say.
