Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a native of Flower Mound, Texas, and I was first introduced to the joy of singing in my church’s children’s chorus at the age of five. I belonged to that chorus until I graduated from Marcus High School in 2013. In addition, I was a member of my school choruses beginning in fifth grade. I was very fortunate to perform at the 2013 ACDA Convention as a member of Marcus High School’s Varsity Treble Choir. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin
My teaching style can most accurately be described as patient and creative. Music should be fun. The student should enjoy practicing. It is my job to create a lesson plan that allows a student to progress steadily, without straining the limits of their abilities. I feel that it is important to focus on the individuals goals and interests so that each lesson is meaningful to that particular student..I focus on music, not exercises. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Music Keyboard
I have ten years of experience teaching and seventeen years of experience playing saxophone. I began teaching private lessons in high school part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio or at students homes. I've also taught music at many residential treatment facilities and programs with kids with special needs or severe psychiatric conditions. My goal as an educator is to help instill and grow the desire to be the best you can be at your instrument. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
For beginning students I typically start with Hannon and my own finger exercises. I ask the the student to draw notes on a staff so they can get familiar with reading and composing music. All students from beginner to advanced, are given warm up exercises and recommended pieces to play . After 30 years of teaching piano, organ and flute ,I have written my own lesson books series. Each lesson program is custom fit to the students style and playing level. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am happiest when I see my students learn to love their lessons and to enjoy practicing. I make sure that they have numerous opportunities to perform for others. Even with very young children, we begin to write notes, and learn time signatures and key signatures. In one lesson, my young students are able to "read" notes and to play pieces. I have the ability to assess their individual personalities immediately. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Get the right set-up for you. Whether you prefer to concentrate in a quiet practice room, or somewhere with more stimulation, try to be consistent with your choice - this will help you enter the right mindset when you begin to practice.
Just playing through your music isn’t the same as practicing. Start with the end in mind - by having a goal for each practice session before you start playing, you will find your progress much more quickly and effectively. Then, break each goal down into smaller, focused objectives. You will also feel a sense of accomplishment as you complete each goal.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For many kids, just having access to musical instruments piques their interest. Do you have a piano in your house, or know someone who does? Does your child sit at the piano and bang on the keys to make "beautiful" music? Does your elder child have a drum set that your youngest is obsessed with? Perhaps hiring a private tutor or looking into local lessons are in order. You'll find out pretty quickly how interested they are in music based on how they react to practice and lesson time.f you do decide to take the formal lesson route, it is important to set ground rules with your child about lesson and practice time
When will I start to see results?
Most people just want to know how long it will take until they feel fairly competent if placed in front of a piano. This is where we really need to define what “fairly competent” means to you.
I would say on average a child that started from a young age that was consistent in practicing well and often, would likely be able to start this type of music by high school. So let’s estimate about 10 years. Pianists that begin as adults will likely take longer. Part of the reason could be just because it is harder to be a consistent practice. The other, less popular reason, is that children just are able to learn faster. It’s sad but true. Missing out on those early years of practicing does make a difference.
The 10 years I mention can be much shorter, that’s why you see 7-year-old piano prodigies. Prodigies like this are not as magical as you may think. If you start when you’re 2 and your parent teaches you daily, you can reach that level is often half the time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in high school, Band teacher encouraged me to always practice and gave me confidence that I could do well. The teacher comforted me when I was tired and allowed me to practice again. When I was worried about going to college, I helped me to go to the school that was most suitable for me.
She was not only supportive but always told me that I would do great things one day. She would teach us that no matter what job we chose, we could make a difference. It takes hard work and a positive attitude. She was such an inspiration.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started learning piano at the age of six and liked music. Later I heard the sound of the trumpet coming from the radio, and I was impressed by the sound of a beautiful melodious instrument. So I decided to learn the trumpet and began to work on it, so I practiced hard and got into university as a major music performance. After graduation, I studied master and taught many plays and teaching.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes. My Trumpet students have got into of regional audition every year even the 1st pace and they have good experience of having a good bergen regional orchestra concert. it makes them have more encouraging, confidently enjoy and love music more. Also, some of my students won awards of the east coast competition and New York Artist International Competition and Winners' recital was at Weill recital hall at Carnegie Hall. I was so proud of my students because they were really practicing hard with the patient even sometimes tired.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Alfred piano series books. lesson, solo, theory and technic book, it also dives into intervallic reading, as described above. Many true, albeit arranged, baroque, romantic, and classical piano pieces are featured without a lot of fluff and fanfare. This may be an ideal method for more serious, self-motivated students. The Alfred method is featured in a variety of books, including an all-in-one piano course for children, a prep course, and a basic piano library, completely correlated and presented in progressive levels.
