Instruments: Piano
Effective teaching caters to each student's unique needs and learning styles. This is why although I prefer the Music Tree series of method books, I'm also flexible and observant to determine the best possible approach on a student-by-student basis. My goal is to instill a genuine, passion for music in my students, and also to help develop well-rounded musicians. Whether you want to play Mozart, write songs, or play in a jazz band, I want to give you the tools you need to make the most of that situation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard
No matter how old is the student or how many experiences that they have, one thing I am emphasizing in the lesson is enhancing their interest and motivation in playing the piano. It is because I can offer them the method of practice, musical knowledge, but ultimately it is their decision to practice or devote in music or not. I hope I can do my best to teach piano by giving them fun exercises, interesting listening examples or demonstrations, and different musical knowledge, in order to let them fall in love with music.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I graduated from Kansas State University in 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance and a minor in Theatre. Over the past 5 years I have had 7 beginner piano students and 10 voice students of varying levels. I have taught ages 5-10 for piano and 11-20 for voice. I currently teach online via FaceTime/Zoom, am available to go to students homes or host them in my studio. I love teaching the next generation of musicians to find their voice and confidence in their instrument so that they can share their gifts with others and edify themselves.. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I’m a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy. I started taking piano lessons when I was eight years old, and continued lessons through high school and for a few semesters in college. I started singing in choir when I was 10 years old, and have been in one or more choirs ever since! I started taking private voice lessons in high school and decided to choose voice as my college major. Read More

Helping students to stimulating their interests of learning music is one of the most important thing! Therefore, I will give them enough space to find and develop their interest. I will help them to set up many realistic goals in each lesson, and bring them more passion for learning and practicing. I will be patient to all my students, even towards their mistake. Making mistake is not a bad thing during studying, the way to correct and keep learning is much more valuable. Read More

Techniques are like having more arrows in your quiver. The more techniques you have the more easily you can express yourself. Much like, the more words you know the easier and more proficiently you can communicate how you feel. (This leads you to self-expression.) Self-Expression is the ultimate goal. Music is a form of language communication, and once you can clearly convey your message and music with your instrument then you have reached a level of musicianship. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of is my ability to make people turn their heads and focus on me when I start surfing on the neck. Time, trials and experience allowed me to build a musical intuitive fluidity where I handle the instrument beyond mere notes. The guitar is here to tell a story, to smile, scream and cry. This moves people in various ways which I am most grateful for.
I am glad that I never ever gave up on the guitar, on practicing and taking it to the next level. And this, despite difficult times at various stages in my life. The Doors' "Music is your only friend" anthem resonates with those who it profoundly affects inside their heart.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar as my primary instrument because it is the most versatile instrument by a large measure:
- The greatest reason by a large measure is that the guitar allows for all musical scopes: chords, arpeggios, solos. This allows the musician to become a 1-man band as needed in a variety of contexts: karaoke, live performances, jams, etc.
- In addition, the guitar has an incredible array of sound-altering techniques: bends, slides, hammer/pull-offs, tapping, sweeps, harmonics. All this arsenal contributes to making the instrumental the musician's natural hand extension and a redoutable musical weapon when the right skill mastery is reached.
The guitar also has several pros to be taken into consideration:
- Easily affordable
- Convivial transportation
- Low and simple maintenance (cleaning and changing strings)
- Very large string family (bass, lute, mandolin, ukulele, etc)
- Wide worldwide acceptance: guitar can be used to play literally every single genre in the world and still feel genuine
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was a student of world-wide renowned Moroccan-Canadian guitar professor Saïd Laghzaoui. While my standing with him was mostly focused on classical music, he did instill the desire of learning the instrument by understanding it in and out, by taking every musical measure as an entire fragment to be practiced until perfection. Most importantly, he stressed the importance of being self-reliant. This was the main source of inspiration to build my ear training, which then allowed me to learn all the songs on the fly now with little assistance.
Here are some excerpts of him:
