Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute
For beggining students in guitar or piano, I would have them start with a basic beggining book such as something by hal leonard. With guitar I will teach basic chords and go from there to working on songs. Scales and chords will be a big part of beggining work in these instruments. As for Saxophone, I will usually begin with scales and long tone work- the later being something extremely important. Read More

Because I accept children as young as 3, my methods vary quite drastically. I also work with children who have learning disabilities, so I like to cater my lessons to the needs of the student. We play a LOT of games and when I feel they are ready, they can progress to books. I use everything from Hal Leonard and Bastien to Alfred and Faber Faber. Being a Special Education Aide, I understand that no book is a one size fits all". Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
George teaches from the Hal Leonard Piano Series and focuses on sight reading, technique, theory, and performance. For advanced students, he encourages performance, ensemble playing, and group competitions.I have also used other piano methods that includes the Royal Conservatory Piano Series, the Suzuki Method for piano, and Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber. For technique, I use the Keith Snell Series for scales and finger exercises, the Hanon Series, and Carl Czerny. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Most important however is that a deepening in the understanding of music should activate a deeper love of music. TO PARENTS: please understand that my goal is to help train your child to be able to see the world through an artistic lens. This is not too lofty a goal, it just takes a lot of patience and a respect for the child's personal intellect. Music great for its own sake, sure; but it is a greater prize that a child should learn how to see life through a spiritually rich perspective. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio or in their homes for the last 10 years. Im always looking to bring on new students of all ages! I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I believe music is unique because of individuality. I make lesson plans depending on each student's interests and learning progress. For young beginners, I encourage lots of participation from parents because it helps children feel supportive and it is always nice to see how much they grow. I like advanced students to express their ideas about the needs and wants as well as musical ideas. Different opinions would make lessons more interesting and inspiring. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I love kids. I believe that music is a continuous learning. It needs a lot of patience and dedication to both intructor and students in order to see the advancement. I am passionate and kind. I love to teach in this field and love to meet more people with different race and cultures. I graduated Bachelor of Science in Tourism and now I am taking my Masters of Business Admininistration.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I do not know what I would want to do. That was what I was struggling with when senior year of high school and after I graduated. I was taking general education courses for a few years before taking piano and voice lesson and decided on a music career.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was seven I wanted to play the piano because my brother was taking lessons. My brother stopped after a while, but I continued for several years performing for school recitals and church. Along with music classes I developed a love and talent for music. During junior high, there were many teachers leaving. Because there were other extracurricular activities I was involved in, I stopped playing the piano in high school. After graduating high school was when I decided to become a professional musician. I didn't really remember being good at or wanting to do anything else in school other than playing piano.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am really the only one of my siblings that stuck with music. One of my brother started piano when he was younger, but was not interested like I was. My other brother played violin and piano and he even wrote some music too.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano is my primary instrument that I play and want to teach. In college I decided to try a group guitar class because I wanted to learn to play more instruments. My mom had an old guitar that I could use. Being with many other students and not getting enough individual help in the class, I didn't pick it up as easily as I did piano. I also take voice lessons along with piano. If I had to pick another instrument to play now, I would want to learn violin inspired by the violinist Lindsey Stirling.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is a difficult question because I do not really prefer on style/genre over the other. I love to play the various style and genres of music because it diversifies the repertoire. I do enjoy playing some popular songs or movie/tv themes. I definitely have a newfound appreciation for classical when I started college. I did not really like classical music growing up because I thought it was all boring and sounded the same. I have not really played a lot of jazz music so that would be an interesting genre of music to start playing.
