Instruments: Piano
I love teaching because it teaches me more than I can ever learn from a piece of music. Seeing my student grow as a musician and as his/her own individual character/personality. I've taught students as young as 3 to college graduates who simply want to get some pieces under their fingers. I've also taught masterclasses to my mom's students and to students at UCLA, and I find that all of us connect in some way musically as we all love and cherish the same composers whose music we still play today.

With students that are full beginners, I like to start them out with some reading to show them how time is divided and how to identify notes on the staff. I've found that finding notes on the staff helps them learn the notes on the fretboard faster and easier. I use a book called Guitar Method Book 1 by Hal Leonard. For students who are more advanced, I will focus on their time feel, sound, and music theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I began teaching as early as 2003, while in high school on clarinet. I continued to teach during college as a voice coach, and have been teaching piano, music theory and music composition to this date. I have worked with both children and adults, in classrooms and one on one. One of the things that distinguishes me from other teachers is how I tailor my program for each student, because everyone learns differently and has different strengths and talents. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session would be one which you are ready to concentrate and able to focus. Ideally, you would work on one concept at a time and not try to do too much at once. For example, if you are working on straight bow, I would focus on that concept and just concentrate on making sure the bow consistently stays straight and does not go off course.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Essential Elements books for very beginning students since this book is very good at helping students learn how to read notes, and it has easy exercises which gradually become more difficult as you progress to later pages in the book. I believe that the Essential Elements books helps students learn at their own pace and does not rush to teach them concepts in which they are not yet ready to learn. After they finish the Essential Elements book, I highly encourage them to play exercises in Suzuki since they have the foundation to read the notes of the Suzuki exercises. The Suzuki book does not teach students how to read notes since it is more of a book for ear training. If students are at an intermediate or advanced level, I allow them to bring in music which they need the most help and/or are preparing for a specific purpose (audition, competition, etc.)
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Three of my students auditioned for region orchestra and were selected to be part of it. Additionally, another student which I taught at a public high school made a second division in the state competition and got a silver medal for this placement. Also, one of my private students placed highly in the orchestra which he had hoped he would make as part of the Youth Orchestras of San Antonio summer orchestra camp.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think that the hardest thing to master on an instrument is the technical work (position, straight bow, blowing right amount of air on recorder, left hand position, etc.). I believe this is the hardest since many people are not able to learn it correctly on their own nor in a group class. Many students who develop bad habits in this area really struggle playing music they are assigned since they play in such a way that makes it harder for them to reach the notes and create a good sound.
