Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
I am an experienced musician who has a passion for music and a passion for teaching. I have performed playing the violin, piano, guitar, viola, bass guitar, and the drums. Even though I play many instruments, I am only interested in teaching piano, violin, and guitar. Outside of being a music teacher, I am currently earning my Master's Degree in Mathematics. I was formerly a high school math teacher, but I want to earn my Master's degree in math so that I could teach math at the college level. Read More
Instruments: Piano
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am a professional and pssionate piano teacher who firmly believe in cultivating a civilized, well-rounded mind through music education. Besides my own private studio, I have also taught in numerous music schools including Kids' N Keyboard Music Center (CA), Cherry Kids' Children Center (CA), Northern California School of Music (CA), Perrysbury Music Center (OH), Ip Piano School (MA), and Mozart Academy of Music (MA).

Instruments: Piano Voice
My method is to incorporate proper technique and fingering, and though reading music is important, i also put emphasis on hearing what your playing and also understanding it theoretically. This way students will be well-rounded and be able to understand what they are playing from an audio and theoretical stance, rather than just being told what to play by the notes on the sheet music. What this does is it allows the student to become independent so that they don't have to rely on music and a teacher to be able to play or pick-up songs they desire to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have a lifelong love of music that has taken many forms. I have had concert hall performances around the country of pieces that ranged from traditional classical, to the experimental and the avante-garde. I have created gallery installations that transformed sound as participants moved about the space, as well as other digital/performative experiments that pushed the leading edge of art. I have performed original pop and rock music, organized public musical events, and throughout it all my passion for music and sound has continued to deepen. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Since my teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun, I tailor each lesson according to the student's age and interests. For young beginners, I choose method books that contain fun songs. I also teach music theory through story telling. For older students, I tailor each lesson according to their interests.However, I encourage them to learn Classical music, so that students develop good musicality. My goal is that all my students enjoy music for the rest of their lives. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe
I start playing the piano when I was 5 and started playing oboe at the age of 8 in Guanran Catholic Music Elementary School in Taiwan- a school that taught music theory, ear-training, aural skills, music history, choir, and orchestra, in addition to regular academic classes. Throughout my life, I have performed as a solo and collaborative pianist, instrumental and vocal accompanist, oboist, choral singer, and conductor in various venues in US, Taiwan, China, and Italy.

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
For all students my primary focus is tone and sound production and going from there I usually have beginning students start on the standard of excellence books, these books usually go hand in hand all the way up to the end of junior high school For more advanced students I have them use the Arban's Method for Trombone/Euphonium, Melodius Etudes by Rochut, and any solo or ensemble piece which fits their current level.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I enjoy playing classical music for its intricate compositions and technical challenges, my favorite genre is gospel. I love gospel music because it allows for a communal experience where we can all sing together and uplift each other through powerful messages. The joy and emotion in gospel music create a unique connection that makes every performance special!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I believe I would have pursued a career as a teacher or a counselor. I’ve always had a passion for helping others, and I still have a strong interest in teaching and counseling. Nevertheless, by giving lessons, I am also a teacher, and through making music together in my students' lives, I provide a form of counseling—not with words, but through rhythms and notes. I am actively seeking opportunities to learn more about these fields so I can further develop professionally and continue making a positive impact in people’s lives.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me typically begins with a warm-up to get my fingers and breath working. I usually spend about 10-15 minutes on long tones and scales to build my sound and technique. After that, I focus on specific repertoire or pieces I’m currently preparing, breaking them down into sections to work on difficult passages. I like to incorporate a mix of classical and modern pieces, as this keeps my practice engaging and helps me explore different musical styles. Additionally, I spend some time improvising or playing along with backing tracks to develop my creativity and musicality. I always aim to reflect on my progress at the end of the session, making notes on areas to improve for next time. Overall, my practice sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing me to adapt based on my needs and goals.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a Master of Music degree in Flute Performance from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance with a concentration in Music Education from the New England Conservatory of Music. I chose to pursue Performance because I have always been passionate about sharing music with others and expressing emotions through my playing. The artistry and technical skills involved in performance have always captivated me. Additionally, my concentration in Music Education reflects my commitment to teaching and inspiring the next generation of musicians. I believe that music has the power to connect people and transform lives, and I want to be a part of that journey for my students.
