I do like to lean on the Berklee methods but do supplement these materials with a good deal of additional material in theory and chords. Everyone is different so the approach depends on the individual. Read More

I was studying Electrical Engineering for two years at Tufts University before I decided to take a leap and follow my passion of music. It has been an incredible journey ever since! I have had the oppurtunity to play a wide variety of musical styles including rock jam-band, folk trio, jazz ensembles, latin jazz, chamber music, solo, duo, avante-garde, electronic, and many more. No matter what the situation, I always love to play, create, and share music with others. Read More

I'm a 24 year old composer, pianist, researcher, programmer and teacher from Los Angeles. I recently completed my bachelor's at New England Conservatory, where I studied piano with Bruce Brubaker and Ethan Iverson, and composition with John Mallia and Efstratios Minakakis. As a composer, my work engages acoustic and electronic sound, composition, software and electrical engineering to explore new modes of human and other-than-human interaction. My recent compositions include "Bona Dea", a vocal cyborg comprising 12 singers networked by live pulse data and haptic feedback; and "Works for Strings and Datura Innoxia in Lunar Regolith Simulant", a set of string pieces I wrote to catalyze the germination of California-native flowers growing in synthetic lunar rocks.

I pride myself on instilling a passion for music and music making in my students. I consciously draw attention to what a student does well as well as what a student can improve on. In this way, they polish their playing and listening, while enjoying what they do well. Every student is very different in both their needs and their interests, and it’s very important to me to tailor lessons for their age, level and learning style. Read More

I cater my teaching style to each student's age, skill level and personality. I have a patient, relaxed teaching style but I'm always ready and willing to push the student as far as they want to go, encouraging them to try their best. Lessons are usually organized into a section focused on technique and music theory followed by a period dedicated to playing songs together, polishing up repertoire and focusing on playing music in real time, together as an ensemble.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a very musical family on my dad's side! My grandpa played ragtime piano by ear on my mom's side, my grandpa played jazz trumpet on my dad's side, my aunt on my dad's side plays classical piano, both my uncles teach music on my dad's side, and my cousin and her fiance play a variety of instruments on my dad's side. I still question if music is genetic, but this gives me some hope and insight into whether it is or not!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have played a variety of different styles, ranging from country to jazz fusion, to classical, to swing, to rock, but I will always love playing jazz music the most. I have spent most of my time listening to, practicing, composing, arranging, and just absorbing jazz music. I have been eating, sleeping, and breathing it for a long time. However, if I had to say my true favorite, would be playing the synthesizer in the genre of jazz fusion, as I get to play a lot of notes very fast, and I get to 'shred' a lot of the time in this style. It is also the most fun to play for me :)
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have played piano all of my life, and I really started to take jazz piano seriously when I was about 11. However, when I have also been singing since I was very young as well, and I got very involved in the musicals in middle school, where I discovered I also had a knack for vocals. From there, I joined my high school's vocal jazz ensemble in my senior year of high school when my opportunities for musicals dwindled, and I continued it through college and I have been pursuing group and solo vocal jazz ever since! It is also very useful to be able to play and sing at the same time as well, and it is a very useful skill that I hope to share with my students!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practice sessions come in all shapes and sizes, and can all depend on what you need to work on. I have had practice sessions range from 20 minutes all the way to 5 hours, because some things take longer to own than others. For example, 2 bars of music can take me 5-10 minutes to practice, or they can take an hour! It all depends on the piece, the difficulty, and even sometimes how I'm feeling that day! Practicing can be a difficult art form, but it's all about falling in love with the process and finding as many ways as possible to enjoy it! I can't lie and say it's always fun, but when I master something, it makes all that time in the shed more worth it than anything else!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of winning 3 solo awards and being part of 2 group awards for the Downbeat Student Music Awards. These awards recognize the top jazz musicians in the country ranging from high school to graduate levels of music, and the win a soloist category twice, and being recognized as an outstanding performer prior in the same category is a humbling and profound honor. Nothing makes me more proud to be able to share my music, and to be recognized for it at this capacity is life-changing!
