In 2018, I graduated from New York University with a Masters of Music in Composition for Film and Visual Media. My projects include film scores, chamber and large ensemble compositions, musical theatre songwriting, choral music, and electroacoustic and intermedia projects. As a working composer, I have been given the opportunity to score short films that have entered the festival circuit, collaborating with directors internationally. I have worked with game designers on video game apps to score and design unique soundscapes. Read More

I am a firm believer that the right teacher will save you years of time and money.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I am an active member of Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC). My students take the Certificate of Merit (CM) test annually in performance, theory, sight-reading and ear training. Taking the CM test is optional but highly recommended. I also make sure my students have plenty of chances at performing on stage at recitals by organizing my own recitals or joining forces with other MTAC teachers. Having a recital to practice for is a great motivation for students to practice daily and gives the parents the chance to see their children's accomplishments. Read More

I encourage my students to find and explain to me the techniques that are working for them once I have given any instruction. I want you to have a deep seeded understanding of the teachings which I am employing upon you. I will begin with basic music fundamentals for all my students and establish a scope of your knowledge and then move forward accordingly. For my piano students I will start with a beginning piano book and we will move forward as you progress. Read More

I believe that everyone of all ages can benefit from music lessons. Learning an instrument relieves stress and promotes optimal health. I believe that we are all creative being and music is a creative outlet. Researchers have found the acedemic potential of the student is increased by taking lessons for several years. I love helping others finding their own personal voice and helping them to get on their feet as an artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
While studying to complete my BA through Cal Poly Pomona, I have had the privilege of touring with Cal Poly Pomona's University Concert Choir for at least three years. I have been heavily involved with this choir for a total of 5 years, and I was appointed as Section Leader for the Sopranos for one term, which meant hard work and dedication almost paid off back then. This was the period of my gigging days because some of these tours were paid tours where all of singers were paid to perform around SoCal. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet
I am a caring and compassionate instructor that prefers students on a basic to intermediate level where I can actually give them the true appreciation and understanding for success with music. I have been playing trumpet since 5th grade, guitar since I was 14, and I started piano with my own player piano as I was growing up. With me you will come to think of learning music as a new language, fun, yet challenging, rewarding yet not as difficult as one would imagine. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many of my students were from North Carolina and were not available to transfer with me via online teachings. However, the one I still do teach is now performing with local community bands as well as getting spots in the local high school marching bands as a home-schooled 7th grader!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recently, my performances on Royal Caribbean International Cruise Lines. Not only was this a big step on my personal career, but it was the acknowledgement that I am good enough to perform on a stage. Often, gigs are gained from recommendations from others, but this one was completely on my own. Earning #1 Music in Tampa Ports while I was onboard and constantly get call-backs from the music directors asking me to come back gave me a sense of being desired which was a great change.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was at a concert as a young child where a trumpet player was on stage. I told my mom "I want to play that!" taking some inspiration from my brother who played tuba at the time. The story was told around family, and my grandfather bought me one for Christmas without any of my family knowing about it! Though they were upset at the time, they're quite happy with the results now.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My professors at Appalachian State University, Dr James Stokes and Dr Rusty Smith, both had (and still do!) a huge impact on my music career. They're brilliance, focus, and determination were inspiring. However, they're willingness to connect with me, take the time to understand me, invest their time into me, and treating me with care really gave me the confidence to continue.
When will I start to see results?
The student will get out of it what they put in. Beginning students will see results immediately, but it will still be a slow process. Building good habits take time. Older students need time to grasp concepts, relearn different thought processes, and understand how my teaching philosophy works. Lessons are learned via imitation. They play with, understand how I sound, and then try to apply that to themselves. This process can vary very wildly depending on the students' imagination.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Often, trumpet should start around age 10 (depending on development of each individual), but every student is different! I often offer a free trial to see if the student can even make a sound. If so, we can move on from there.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Take your time! You shouldn't be rushing through a practice session, as thay tends to lead to stress. Take breaks, take time, and understand what you're trying to get out of each session.
