Hello! Music is my life. I am constantly driven by music and I find inspiration in working with students to help them find their musical potential as well. Studying intensively at Mesa College was both rewarding as it was challenging, but working with my Berklee mentors was without question the moments that helped me as a musician, and I wish to share that with all aspiring students.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 1990 and began my professional teaching career in 1992. I consider myself an ambassador for and devotee of fine music - no matter what the genre may be. My goal in my teaching and performances is to transfer my passion and love for music and to inspire people - the way music has continually inspired me. Teaching and judging competitions does not leave me a lot of time for concertizing, though I do still perform. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I begin students with the Faber Piano Adventures books, which get students' fingers on the keys at the very first lesson, and also focus on theory. Once they are beginning to read music, usually after a few months, I introduce popular songs to supplement the lesson book, such as the theme to Star Wars, or Disney music, which the children recognize, and add extra fun to their practice time. I am happy to find specific songs that a student may request! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet French Horn Piccolo
My vocal methods are rooted in bel canto style with a strong Melocchi technique using standard repertoire from art songs to stage to develop any voice in preparation for various styles of song. My goal is to help my students go from a singer to a vocalist so that they understand their instrument to be able to create any music as needed. As a piano method I draw from the FABER & FABER method books in addition to online repertoire resources from the standard piano literature varying in styles and difficulties from classical to the four chord structures used in many of today's popular songs and arrangements.

I focus on several different areas for every student, so that he/she can keep progressing in all areas of technic and musical knowledge: WARM-UPs, SCALES, MUSIC THEORY, SIGHTREADING, and PREPARED PIECES. And as all music students 'should', it's important to build a good habit of practicing with a metronome. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have my own ProTools recording studio, and I record 10 songs from each book for students to learn to play by ear. I make a CD and give it to the student. The CD holds about 30 tracks on it, the piano tracks and my speaking voice on each track. I speak on the CD gently underneath the piano playing, for example, when there is an interval, I slow things down and the student will hear my voice in the background saying Interval, then the student will hear me play each note of the interval separately.

I started learning piano when I was 6 years old in Japan. Then, I started to take singing lesson when I was 15 years old since my teacher taught both voice and piano. For University studies, I moved to California. I have received Music scholarships and have won singing competitions. I received my Master of Music from San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Last 24 years, I have been living in San Diego. I have been teaching about 20 years. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you practice you will understand and move more quickly. Just like homework if you do you will understand. If you don't practice you are still learning, but it will take longer to achieve.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can your child count and know 1-5? Are they able to understand 1-5? Do they know alphabet? They do not need to be able to read to teach, but should be able to handle and listening directions. They need to be able to sit still for about 20 minutes and listen. Online lesson a caregiver or parent is very helpful and it works wonderful. I have work books to help the child stay interested. With voice does the child love to sing? It will build up her confidence and her ability. I teach students that have been doing amazing in thatre arts and also in school because they take choir.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Bastien love the chords
Alfred for little ones their way of teaching music is great for little ones. It is so much fun and builds confidence
Faber their creativity and able to teach children more concepts of dynamics.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
learning to be patient and discipline. It takes time to learn, but in every step learning a instrument is a great achievement. Every student can look back 6 months or a year and say I wasn't able to do this, but now I can. They need to look at their achievement Sometimes we busy and struggle or maybe even lose interest, but music is a life time gift. Sports are amazing, but most people won't be playing soccer in later life, but they can play an instrument their whole lives even a elderly lady 101 years old was playing so beautifully..
When will I start to see results?
you will see it right away. They will be playing small songs, but they are learning, coordination, reading music, value of music, fundamental music
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
mrs. cooper She was patient and creative.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my parents chose the piano but so glad they did and i chose to take voice later
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I can write classical, children's musicals, contemporary music, and perform . I can also play for choirs and teach as a music director. I'm grateful for my parent's supporting me in lessons growing up.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
yes i had one child make the regional for voice in Las Vegas and she won.
I have had many students be main or lead characters in musicals.
I have had students go to college and get their music education in performance or education
I have had students play elite clubs because of their love for music
