Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
The most rewarding thing for me in teaching is learning how to create with my student. Finding the best tools for growth with the student and accessing them is the crucial component to how I teach. Gaining trust, confidence, and joy in lessons produces the highest and most sustainable growth and development of the technique, sound, and musicality of the growing musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Music
During this residency I was able to give private woodwind lessons to beginners-intermediate players, conduct, and co-lead wind ensemble rehearsals. Since graduating San Jose State University in 2023, where I worked as a music theory tutor for all undergraduate theory classes, from beginning theory through advanced counterpoint and orchestration; I have also started teaching music theory, composition, and sound recording remotely to all levels in my own studio. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and find the process of it very fulfilling and make sure that the student feels equally fulfilled and proud of themselves after every lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I teach all styles of music. I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment. I incorporate styles and songs the student enjoys listening to or playing as well. I like to teach classical music. With this foundation, ALL other music is much easier to play, and helps tremendously with their sight reading skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have started piano students off with Piano Adventures Primer Lessons and Theory, and have taught adults using the Alfred Basic Adult Piano Course. I do have students learning from John Thompson's Teaching Little Fingers How to Play method (moves more quickly than Piano Adventures), and have a Blues Piano student learning from various sources including How to Play Boogie Woogie (Hal Leonard/Wise). I teach beginning guitar using the Hal Leonard Guitar Method, also Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method, and Mel Bay's Fun With Strums. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching music in 2009 as a tutor for the local junior college teaching music theory and musicianship. I expanded to voice and guitar lessons and have been teaching for the last 12 years. I teach in my home studio, in my students homes and online. I know that consistent practice is the way for students to reach their music goals and so I make sure that each student knows what to practice and how to practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Keyboard
My experience with music goes back since I have memories. Music has been in my life and family and this is why I decided to become a professional musician and study hard to improve my skills and knowledge. My first piano lession I had 10 years and my first professional keyboard I was 15. Drums came along with my brothers toy drum to finally buy a real kit. All my brothers are a musician and it really helped to open to different styles and concepts. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents actually chose it for me. I had a lot of friends when I was young who played piano and my parents spoke with their parents and got me into piano lessons. It was my primary instrument through most of my life.
I do now consider myself more a vocalist than a pianist, and that switch started in high school, but I didn't solidify that change until my second year of college when I switched into a music major from a science major and realized that vocal performance was more of my calling than piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the tour I did in Italy. I was one of 10 performers chosen to perform at numerous concerts throughout the Marche region of Italy over 3 months. I also got to study with some former Met Opera performers while I was there.
The audition process was hard and I am still surprised to this day that I was chosen, but it was such an honor and an eye opening experience to the real world of performance. It was one of the coolest performances I have ever done and it rivals the accomplishment of getting my Master's Degree.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On piano, I think that the hardest thing to master is proper fingering and being able to match a composer's tempo. Often times practicing slower and building up to a faster tempo is necessary and that can be frustrating for a musician sometimes.
On voice, I think that the hardest thing is being able to keep consistent technique even through voice changes and developments. I think this along with vocal control in faster music is also a challenge. Making sure that the support is there without faltering.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I always use the Alfred series. I used them when I was starting, as did many of my friends who were studying piano and went on to be full time piano performers. Because of this, I stick to these books. They are easy to understand and follow a logical learning pattern that even non-musical parents can help their kids follow.
For voice, I use a combination of the English and Italian schools of vocal technique to teach. These are the most commonly accepted in the classical vocal world and can be modified for different styles of vocal music easily.
