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
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
The two most important things to me when it comes to teaching piano are making sure that my students get the fundamentals down and also have fun in the process! There is no shortcut for proper technique so emphasizing the basics from the start creates a strong foundation to grow as a pianist and will allow you to advance much more quickly. Finally, it's important to have fun and enjoy the process. Read More

My experience as a musical theatre performer both onstage and in the pit, have given me many useful and resourceful teaching methods that have allowed a humble program in an urban district to blossom and thrive. In five years, the chorus of 18 singers reading lyrics sheets, has performed as guests throughout Hudson County and returned to the Teen Arts Festival with repertoire such as Mozart’s Ave Verum, Dan Davidson’s Ritmo, and several contemporary pieces.

Each lesson helps beginners or advanced students with unique lessons. Most student lessons last 45 minutes- and not uncommon up to an hour, and even more at no extra charge. It's a recharge that may require more than a week of practice, so schedule accordingly. My beginning music course has "handout" copies of my lessons to encourage individual students learning theory and sight reading. I use the "Michael Aaron" course for beginners, progressing with new techniques and work borks by John Thompson, covering classical, pop, rock and blues. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet
When teaching students who are young, I would first start off with the fundamentals. For example, I would explain music terms to them and develop the new language from there. Once the student has a basic understanding of music, I would then talk about the Circle of Fifths and encourage them to participate in events like concerts or festivals in school. When becoming a young adult, I would then discuss competitions and help them prepare for college auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
I began teaching private lessons in college as a side job, but due to touring with orchestras I was unable to truly develop my own studio. I also volunteer taught students from low-income families through the Azusa Pacific Conservatory for two years. In the summers of 2010 and 2011, I took over a former teacher's studio of 20+ students while he toured in Europe. I have been working in National Parks for the past 3 years and have always brought my instruments with me. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I encourage my students practice at least a minimum of 30 minutes a day. I don't have one particular book I work from as I see every student is different. I do require that they have a theory book because I believe learning the theory is just as important. Regardless of their age, I encourage them to find a piece within their level that they would enjoy learning to play. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Depending on the student, you can see results anywhere from weeks to months to years. Everyone learns at their own pace and learns in different ways. Some students can see major results in a matter of months (these are kids who are logical thinkers). Some others need more time who are creative minds.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my former piano teacher of 10 years inspired me so much. She was so professional, loving, and strict at the same time. She really taught me how to be a disciplined and committed musician. She was so amazing with all her students in her studio.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with piano from a young age, I saw others play piano in school and at other events, and I always thought "I want to do that." I became passionate about piano and composing my own music from a young age.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I most proud of my studies at Berklee College of Music, being mentored in masterclasses at Steinway, performing at Carnegie Hall, and playing gigs in Boston. I'm also proud of creating my own music and being able to share it with the world via YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
During the pandemic of 2020, I started to teach virtually. One of my students from Argentina I taught for a year, and she was a natural pianist. She love the instrument and it was so exciting to see her progress throughout the year. She is now working towards getting awards, special honors, and potentially competitions.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing would have to be accuracy as far as speed of notes as well as advance rhythmic concepts. For example, works by famous composer such as Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, are very difficult, and anything in advanced grades, takes a lot of brain power and dedication to the instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
This all depends on the age of the student. Students 5 to 9 who are in the beginner level should at least practice 15-30 min a day if they want to really improve and move quickly through the grades. Students who are intermediate should practice anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours a day. Advanced students who are really committed to their artistry need 2- 4 hours a day and sometimes more with breaks in between.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will simply know when the child is eager to learn and they are excited about it, especially when they play around on the piano and really want to be taught. Age 5-6 is a good age to start beginner and the Faber Primer level.
