Instruments: Piano Voice Music
For students earlier in their journeys, I do believe a practical understanding of music and basic theory is fundamental to unlock both the art and the science of performing. After warm up exercises that help acquire the vocabulary and sonic principles of agile musicianship, I would immediately dive into material that the student finds engaging and personal! I am an advocate for storytelling in the arts first, with mechanical technique and instruction used as vehicles to empower the pure love of expression! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My teaching experience started in high school when my private teacher started teaching me how to teach. I then accepted students on a continual basis, usually working two jobs. I realized at a later point in my life that I would like to make teaching my profession and started getting more serious about how I would proceed with teaching music. I have had students for over 25 years and without a doubt, parental involvement and practice are the two main factors for success of young students, along with a good teacher. Read More
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.

Instruments: Piano
I teach according to each student's pace of learning, tailoring lessons to their age. Music theory games and other fun elements are incorporated into the lessons for the younger students. Once the fundamentals are learned, teen students are encouraged to make some of their own music selections with my guidance and approval. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet
In 2006, my love for music began at Temecula Middle School, which is where I played clarinet for three years and performed in Disneyland and Las Vegas. In 2013, I graduated from Temecula Valley High School and I completed four years of marching band there. I was clarinet section leader for one year and also played with the Bravura Youth Symphony Orchestra outside of school for three years. I became clarinet section leader and board member for that group as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano
If my students aren’t enjoying their lessons, I feel I’m not doing my job effectively! I also emphasize creativity, encouraging students to compose their own original pieces, alongside preparing for competitions and recitals. These experiences give them a sense of accomplishment and inspire them to continue learning. I am always excited to welcome new students of all ages and skill levels, tailoring my approach to meet each individual's needs and goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
After assessing the student's age and experience we select a method book or repertoire. I typically suggest the Alfred books for young students. I aim to introduce my students to a variety of repertoire, (from baroque to modern music) but I also keep their goals and interests in mind. I consider music theory, ear training, music reading, and creative music-making just as essential as learning repertoire, therefore I strive to incorporate them in each lesson. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set specific goals: It's important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve in each practice session. Setting specific goals helps you stay focused and motivated.
Establish a routine: Try to practice at the same time each day, so that it becomes a habit. This will help you make consistent progress.
Start slow: When learning a new piece or technique, start by practicing slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable.
Break it down: If a piece or technique seems too difficult, break it down into smaller sections and focus on mastering each section before moving on to the next.
Use a metronome: A metronome can help you keep a steady tempo and improve your timing.
Record yourself: Recording yourself while practicing can help you identify areas that need improvement and track your progress over time.
Take breaks: It's important to take breaks during practice sessions to avoid burnout and give your brain and muscles time to rest.
Stay positive: Remember that learning a new skill takes time and effort. Stay positive and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.
By following these tips, you can practice effectively and make consistent progress in your musical journey.
When will I start to see results?
Practice habits: How often and how effectively you practice can greatly affect your progress. Practicing for short periods every day is more effective than practicing for longer periods less frequently.
Previous musical experience: If you have previous experience playing an instrument or reading music, you may find it easier to learn the piano and progress more quickly.
Difficulty of the repertoire: The difficulty of the music you are learning can also affect how quickly you see results. Starting with simple pieces and gradually increasing the difficulty can help you progress more smoothly.
With consistent practice, you can expect to see some results within a few months. You may notice improvements in your hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, and ability to read music. However, becoming proficient at the piano and being able to play more complex pieces can take several years of dedicated practice.
It's important to remember that learning to play the piano is a journey and not a destination. Enjoy the process and celebrate your progress along the way. With patience and perseverance, you can achieve your goals and become a skilled pianist.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Age: Generally, children can start taking piano lessons at around age 5 or 6. However, every child is different and some may be ready to start earlier or later.
Interest: Does your child express an interest in playing the piano? If they seem curious about the instrument and enjoy listening to music, it may be a good time to start lessons.
Attention span: Piano lessons require a certain level of focus and attention. If your child has a short attention span, you may want to wait until they are a bit older and better able to concentrate.
Physical ability: Playing the piano requires good hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. If your child has difficulty with activities that require these skills, such as coloring or writing, they may not be ready for piano lessons just yet.
Parental support: Learning the piano requires practice at home, so it's important that parents are willing and able to support their child's practice sessions and attend lessons regularly.
Ultimately, the decision to start piano lessons should be based on your child's individual needs and interests.
