Instruments: Piano
I would teach my lesson on top of my lesson plans. As a teacher, writing lesson plans is an important factor of keeping the lesson organized. The lesson also depends a lot on the students' learning pace and hard work. I will take time to get to know the students and to find out their different learning style(visual, aural or kinetic. )I will set a detailed goal and plan for my students and keep track of their progress and measure our weekly target accordingly.

I use the teaching method as previously described, and try to tailor my style for each student. Everyone learns, practices, and progresses uniquely -- so it's part of MY job to figure out the best approach to help each of my students. 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 Organ Keyboard
My students must study at there own pace I don't agree with rushing student progress. In my experience of teaching I realized that students are different from each other some learn faster than others. If students don't understand a key or a chord I will show them an example by playing a specific chord or song piece. But also I will even practice with the student so they don't feel like they are being put in the spotlight by themselves. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
From the time I started myself in piano to the time I graduated from a conservatory of Music - I had worked with a total of nine piano teachers in seventeen years. Of these teachers - one was stellar, one was horrid, and the rest fell somewhere in between. That experience taught me what works well and what doesn't in teaching others and inspiring them to excel. The pedagogy program at my conservatory also gave me hands-on training and kick-start ed my teaching career in San Francisco. Read More

I will teach you the proper techniques necessary for piano and your voice. We not only learn the fundamentals but also about different styles and genres and how music imitates life through sound. For piano, I teach the basic and crucial skills including proper fingering, posture, note reading, music theory, ear training, and rhythm. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
By age 12 I was becoming serious about music. I formed a band with my friends and we used to practice in my parent's garage. I was always pushing to practice more. I had a drive to want to sound better right from the beginning. I'm not sure exactly where that desire came from. I always took music seriously. But I loved baseball too and had dreams of playing for the St. Louis Cardinals. Around age 16 or 17 I began to lean more on music than baseball. I wasn't thinking of it as a career but gradually music began to define nearly everything I did.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My younger brother sings and plays guitar, bass and piano. We've written songs together and had a band. No one before us in our family played (that I'm aware of). But we grew up with music in our house. My father had an incredible vinyl collection. Motown, The Beatles, Elvis, Phil Spector's records. Music was always playing around the house. I remember studying the album artwork as the record played. I wanted to know how was in the band and what instruments they played. I wanted to learn who produced the records and who wrote the songs. I loved growing up in a house full of music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
From the guitar, I picked up most things with strings: bass, ukulele, etc. I can also play piano and sing. Once I learned the guitar, I didn't find it too difficult to move on to other instruments. The basic theory of chords, scales and keys was the same. As I stated above, when I learn a song I listen to all the parts. So after I learn the guitar part, I'll study what the drums and bass are doing. I'll study the lyrics and vocal melody. I'm interested in how each part works together to create the sound of the band.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy so many different styles of music it's impossible for me to choose one. One of the exciting things about technology is we have moved into a post-genre time in music. I listen to it all. I listen to The Smiths and Radiohead and Ryan Adams and Wilco and Segovia and Django and Willie Nelson, Dylan and The Beatles. I love Bach and Debussy. I tend to pull from all these genres as I play and write. Prince has been a big influence on me. He wrote and performed within so many disparate styles of music.
