Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching private lessons a year ago and have been consistently teaching private lessons at students' homes and in my home studio since then. I've discovered that focusing on students' own interests and love for music generates fun, engaging and rewarding lessons for them. Repetition and a consistent practice schedule is easier for students to continue when lessons are focused on developing the aspects of music that they love, or building skills that take them closer to their interests.

Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, my aim is always to nourish the love of music that brought the student into the studio. I am comfortable exploring any musical style or ambition with my students, and relish in learning alongside my pupils. For the young and old alike, I emphasize music literacy through piano basics - I believe that a basic understanding of the keyboard is essential for any meaningful musical education. With my voice students, I focus on synthesizing mind, body and spirit to unlock the true potential within every voice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
The key ingredient to learning is interest. I believe that my students need to have an interest in what they are playing so that they can keep their minds and spirits engaged. Rudiments require attention and practice, but there is much more to learning an instrument than just technique; passion also needs nurturing. If a student is really in to Star Wars, for example, I will gladly incorporate the 'Imperial March' into their rudimentary studies. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been teaching music for a little over 5 years (2014). I have started many kids who don't know if they would rather learn guitar, drums, or piano. So I give them a tour of all three and show them the basics before they decide their favorite. I encourage consistent practice and practice methods that ensure that the students always feel a sense of improvement without frustration. Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am an active solo and ensemble pianist. I have worked with renowned soloists from Europe, America, Australia and Asia and I enjoy playing music with other musicians. I had my highly acclaimed solo recital series Watermark, a sad bird, and Imaginations at the National Recital Hall in Taipei. I have a master degree of piano performance from Manhattan school of music. Aside from performing, I am an experienced piano teacher. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I am a passionate and dedicated person with 10+ years of experience as a part time piano teacher. Teaching piano to others is one of my hobbies. Music has been a part of my life from a very early age. I started learning to play piano when I was 6. From my musical experience, I have strong skills in teaching basic as well as advanced piano lesson to all age students. I went to UC Berkeley for college and minor in music in 2016. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Drums Ukulele Euphonium French Horn Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I like to emphasize fundamentals, especially if a student is just beginning. I believe a strong foundation makes it easier as they progress. For all instruments I always have my students prepare both technical exercises and solo material. I always emphasize historical context to bring the music to life. I also like to teach the music theory side of music, explaining chords, sequences and progressions. I can inform students how to improvise in jazz, as well as play at the level required for symphonic performance. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have had the good fortune to play and sing in Carnegie Hall on three separate occasions.
I am also really proud of my work with my students. I totally love when a student becomes more like a colleague in conversation and performance and pedagogy.
Finally, I am proud of how I handled my work during the pandemia. I kept offering lessons, singing opportunities, and musical “events” throughout the lock down.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have been fortunate to have many music teachers invest their time and energy into teaching me, irrespective of my attitudes or levels of commitment to the work. Memories of their grace and patience is the anchor I use when I am teaching. Memories of their deadlines and expectations are the fuel I use when pushing students in their own development.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started playing piano when I was five. I was born with three fingers on each hand. Diving into the world of piano repertoire was always and interesting exploration of feasibility and joy. I started playing percussion in late elementary school. This lead to playing multiple percussion parts for my very small community youth orchestra. I majored in music with an emphasis on piano and percussion in my undergrad career. I continued to play both as I perused a degree in opera conducting for my graduate studies. I was very fortunate to play a variety of musics in a multitude of styles and techniques, which are skills I try to pass forward to my students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I would encourage you to talk to your child about what they like and do not like in other “structured” times. Lessons can be modeled in a variety of ways, but they are mainly one-on-one attention on the student. Is your child comfortable with the length of time and the structure of time in that manner?
When will I start to see results?
How do you define “results” in the context of the learning? What I tend to find is that students go through cycles of absorbing and applying new information and then plateaus of developing specific skills. The periods of plateau can be both difficult and frustrating for students, and I work hard to acknowledge how students are still developing and gaining strong outcomes in their work.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice a little bit every day rather than a lot in one go each week. The slow and steady method will garner long term effects. The cram method actually can make the learning more difficult.
