Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin
Teaching is my passion. I started playing the violin at the age of 6 years old. Music gave me confidence in school and in my life. When I was in elementary school I found out that reading comprehension was difficult for me and so I had to get tutoring. I was very strong in music and that boosted my confidence in school. I have a lot of patience because of this but I also have high standards because I know what my students are capable of doing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My teaching experience dates back to my College days when I tutored students while a student at Berklee. I have been performing private lessons for the past twenty years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the most important key points, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I teach both Classical and modern jazz styles and techniques and the combing of the two can go a long way to help the students enjoy playing more. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For each of my student's lessons, I have them play for me their pieces from the lesson book and their scales and arpeggios. At the end of the lesson, I take a few notes for the student so they know what to focus on or fix for their pieces, as well as keep track of which key they are working on for their scales. I love to see my students improve and gain a passion for their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I know everyone learns at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music
My teaching experience dates back to college, as I was the Vice President of the collegiate choir, and small group leader for international tours. After that point, I had the privilege of working at the elementary, high school, and collegiate levels teaching voice, piano and acting. I have over ten years of experience as an orchestal conductor and music director for Azusa Pacific University, Cal Baptist University and Life Pacific College. Read More
Instruments: Piano
There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a student cultivate a genuine love for music. Hence, I prioritize enabling every student to advance according to their individual pace. I foster this by establishing achievable objectives during each lesson, recognizing their achievements to ignite their motivation to excel and further their learning enthusiasm. By identifying their sources of inspiration, I adeptly customize my instruction to cater to their preferences and necessities. I believe that every student possesses infinite potential, and I aspire to nurture their individual talents. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a passionate and energetic musician and teacher. Music is one of my favorite things in the world. It brings me great joy to pass my knowledge on to others. I graduated from Cal State Long beach with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. I currently write my own music and record as well. I have a strong background in classical music, but the music I write is more Rock and Blues influenced. 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.
