Though I've been playing music since I was 10 years old, I had always viewed it as a hobby until I was a junior in College. After graduating from Texas State University in 2010, I nose-dived into the Austin music scene and after a couple years of networking and collaborating with other musicians, I found myself performing with a band called Calliope Musicals. In 5 years, we've toured and performed all over the continent and I've learned more about music and myself in that time than I ever have before. Read More

I began teaching piano 4 years ago, I had not originally intended on teaching, but I had several people inquire about lessons, since they had seen me perform. I began to pick up more and more students, and I realized that I am actually very passionate about teaching, and sharing all of the knowledge that I acquired over the years. I encourage my students to be creative and write there own music as well as learning traditional and contemporary pieces to even out their repertoire. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to 2005, as I began teaching private English as a Second Language in both my home and students’ homes in Beijing, China. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for young students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for their studies. I’ve also found that a combination of different activity exercises can go a long way in helping students enjoy their studies and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

Because I have had voice training and have taught using many different methods, my students find much more quickly what works for them and their goals. They also have enjoyed the freedom of being able to tell me the sound they are wanting to make and receiving instruction how to make that sound, rather than being told they can only sing in a certain genre (usually classical) with a certain kind of sound (also usually classical).

Instruments: Piano Cello

I believe the early years of a music beginner are the most influential time to develop healthy technique habits and a love for music. For that reason, I provide a positive experience by being attentive to the student's needs and aspirations and adapt my teaching accordingly. For more advanced students, I interview them to plan a syllabus for their desired results and schedule their classes accordingly. Should any student want to pursue higher education in music, I can help with auditions, university requirements, etc. Read More

My lessons always start with a mix of theory based info and instrument technique. I don’t use books or any of that mumbo jumbo, because everything you need to know is free online. I will help guide your exploration in music, and I will encourage you to soak in information from musical sources other than myself. I will force you to listen to the music you want to study(doesn’t sound like bad hw to me), and eventually, I will help you construct your own ideas! Read More
