Instruments: Piano Voice
Learning outcomes in my teaching are both practical, in terms of healthy and expressive vocal production and encouraging students to “have a voice” in their own lives, in the studio and on the stage as well. Through physical practice and by the information of various other forms of voice and bodywork, I guide students toward increased physical self-awareness, freedom of breath, relief from tension, and ease of production of healthy singing from the heart.

Instruments: Piano
I tend to incline towards George Molineux's premise of imagery and teaching. Constructing my own philosophy of music teaching. For children I tend to start with posture, positioning of the hands, rounded fingers and finger notation. I understand that Molineux's teaching methods are of the 19th centurybut they are still relevant today in how we perceive music. We watch TV with music, we access our smart devices and play music, we play computer games with music. Read More

Music knowledge helps in child development, mentally and emotionally. I love encouraging children to strive for better and better results through the love to music and its beauty. I believe in acknowledging accomplishments right away and pointing out the strengths of any particular moment during practices so that students know in which direction to work on, as well as see the results of their efforts. I also believe that improvements come from better understanding of the material and basics, and vice versa. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My ultimate goal is to help students develop a love for playing and being around music. The last thing I want is a discouraged student or one that has become bored with music. Therefore, I will set realistic goals for my students so that they are not overwhelmed, but at the same time are constantly engaged and challenged by the material. I like to teach both by ear and by reading music, which accommodates different learning styles a student may have. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Having a proper ability of bringing out variety of sound and color, of understanding and obeying the original style regarding how to appropriately interpret pieces under composers' expectation. What makes it very hard is the mastery of voicing, ability for the tone quality control, and the ability to manage multiple lines at one time without disturbing the structure and texture simultaneously.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Have been mentioned in "My Methods" section.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a multi-layered voicing instrument, the harmony can be created on this instrument nor on other single melody instruments. I enjoy the sound of the piano and the touching of the keyboard. Piano is the only instrument that I have played for almost 20 years. Addition to the fact, I never learned other instruments beside piano, which I would have hoped to attempt learning a secondary instrument. I like that piano can possibly accompany many other instruments and singers. Range of dynamic and sonority are wide, which gives an unique character to create beautiful sound via such percussive-oriented instrument.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
While I was teaching in Gainesville, Florida, I have two students awarded with prizes in competitions. One was for Pre-College Piano Ensemble Competition sponsored by FSMTA and another went to the Young Artist Concerto Competition in Jacksonville. These two girls aged 16 and 17 years old respectively. Both of them are eager to play piano, and they're hard workers. In high school age, they squeezed times to have as much as practicing hours possible beyond their intensive academic studies in school. I set the goal for them and choose the competitions based on the categories of divergent sorts. During the preparing process, I worked hard with them for strategizing the effective approaches as to help them fix the problems.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of myself that have been involving in music profession since my undergraduate study. I'm proud of myself to keep the perseverance as being a pianist, and actively play the recitals in different cities, venues, and for different audiences. By staying in the musical profession as a pianist, it requires many demanding things, such as adequate practicing hours, ability to prepare repertoires for upcoming recitals quickly, to read music fast and done the polish sooner than later, and so on. It also requires a great coping skills while on stage if neither of your physical or psychological condition is good.
