I believe in encouragement, fun and positive focus on the students progress at whatever speed that they progress. This makes each student look forward to each lesson with eagerness and actually accelerates their progress. I never push a student and instead encourage and edify the student and try to use their own favorite pieces of music to keep them excited about their next lesson. Acknowledging small progress is the key and I never let a student leave without celebrating their accomplishments no matter how small! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have grown up in the wonderful world of music and my passion is to give you or your children the tools they need to be successful and have fun in both vocal studies and piano studies I was born and raised in Michigan, and have been studying music since age 4. I began piano studies first and found a love of vocal music through church choir when I was still quite young. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
I am classically trained on piano and have been studying for many years. My piano students learn theory, as well as rhythm and end up very well versed in how to count properly. I also teach them proper hand technique as well as expression in a piece. Many students believe that it's impossible to be emotional on piano, but I make them dig deep to find the beauty and meaning in each piece and they come out the other side better players for it.

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

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree from a university or college. When I graduated high school I was offered a scholarship to attend a private university but was unable to attend because my guardians thought it was not the best choice. I enrolled into Clark Atlanta University for a short time. I was in the jazz orchestra and classical orchestra for a while but I was not happy that my guardians made me go to that college. I was so hurt that I eventually went to the registrars office and left the university
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normally I’ll have my bass and amplifier. I’ll have a list of scales to learn and also homework. I may have my computer to record our session so the students can hear themselves after the lesson is finished. This will help them in pinpointing certain areas that may need improvement. I may have my guitar also so the student can understand the relationship between these two related instruments. I may have bongos and microphones also. I may also have effects for bass and guitar to open up a new world of creativity for the student
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Not specifically but these are great methods and authors. One may find a great lesson book at the local library also. I believe if a student wants to make music and have results then the teacher must employ a plethora of techniques. I’m not opposed to these method oops. They are great tools. I usually provide a curriculum that is tailored to the students ability and discipline. I’m not the best at reading music anymore but I understand all of my notes and scales. The fundamental knowledge of playing the bass guitar still requires learning and understanding music theory
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think that it would be a Parliament Funkadelic live concert from beginning to end. The bass guitar is a major element in the funk music the created. Then I would like to fuse that with a few Stanley Clarke tunes with Thundercat and Mono Neon as guest appearances. Then I would like to have Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten come improvise while I hold down a groove of my choice. Then I would like all of us to lear Funfe Stücke by Paul Hindemith all on bass guitars and then we go into a Jimi Hendrix/ Led Zeppelin tribute
