Instruments: Piano
I use the Faber method for my beginner students. Sometimes with students who are 4 or 5 years I use the pre-beginners books from Alfred. Other times I use the Suzuki method, depending on the level of understanding. Alongside those books, I use technique books to build good, strong hand especially for young kids. As we move along I start giving solo repertoire from different eras of music to introduce the student to different kinds of music from different composers. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been a high school and middle school teacher of the humanities for a couple of years now, which I have greatly enjoyed. In addition to this, I have a couple of piano students, which I taught for a while now. I encourage them to practice consistently at least for a half an hour a day so that they progress faster. In my lessons, I assign a classical piece, scale exercises, and even a pop piece to motivate them so that they not only continue to improve, but also implement what they learned in the pop piece itself.

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 4 years ago, and have been consistently teaching to students of all different ages. The beautiful thing about teaching is the uniqueness of the process regarding every student. Every student is a different and unique artistic being, therefore, the perception of music is also unique. I love to nourish that uniqueness, incentivizing the student's natural abilities. Read More

I come from a family of teachers, and I started sharing my love of music with family and friends at a very early age. I was section leader in high school and assistant concert master at a local church orchestra. During and after college, I worked with a company that provided group piano lessons at Detroit Public Schools. A nearby high school band recruited me to tutor their double reeds section. Read More

I love to see my students improve. When a student is bored then I am not doing my job as a teacher. Inspiring my students is an important part of my teaching. I love seeing my kids improve and believe they can do anything. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I first started really getting into music when I was 13 and started playing drums and guitar, picking up piano a couple years later. In 2005 I graduated from the Journeyman Program in Musical Performance at Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. Since then I've been trying my hand at different musical endeavors such as playing in bands, writing my own music, composing for indie games as well as doing covers of my favorite old video game songs.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone at any part in their musical journey is ready to start lessons whether you're a complete beginner or a professional. Any one at any age with a passion for music is ready to begin working with a teacher. It's better to start your children with a teacher then to have them be self taught and eventually start taking lessons, however everyone at every level in their musicianship will benefit from working with a teacher.
When will I start to see results?
Most people aren't able to tell how and when you're progressing but as a teacher I can say that you are always making progress even if the results aren't obvious to yourself. I think depending on where you are in your musical journey the progress you see when you start working with a teacher can be immediate and linear growth, however a lot of people who are self taught and seek a teacher after being self taught might come to find you actually regress a bit due to having to back track to fix bad habits or implement necessary technique you didn't on your own. While this feels like negative results your still making progress towards the penultimate goal of mastery. Having a teacher will not only help make sure you're making consistent progress but we'll also be there to celebrate the progress you don't always recognize when teaching yourself as well as fixing habits and finding solutions that would take years longer on your own.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had really great connections with all my music teachers in middle and high school, especially with my middle and high school choir teachers which is definitely what inspired me to be a teacher. I saw what they did everyday and thought to myself how fun it would be to be in their shoes teaching music all day. I think the way they inspired me more so in high school was as a teachers assistant I got to see the nuance of teaching and how you get to share a part of yourself with others through music. I was inspired by how much my teachers loved what they did and put so much time and effort into sharing music with us.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My biggest advice to practicing effectively is to have a consistent practice routine that you take full advantage of. Even when doing the repetitive "easy" stuff like warm ups and exercises, giving it your full focus and effort is the fastest way to make progress in your solo repertoire, leading to your improvement of skill. Practicing everyday for a short period of time will do you more good than practicing for a long period of time less frequently, like 1-2 days a week. 15 minutes a day minimum for children and 30 minutes a day minimum for adults is what I recommend and make every minute of your practice count. I like to think of my practice routine as 20% warm ups and exercises, 20% sight reading and literacy training, and 60% repertoire practice.
