Instruments: Piano Violin Trombone Saxophone Clarinet
All of my students, depending on age, go through my curriculum which not only focuses on solo repertoire but learning how to be an essential part of any ensemble. I make sure I plan individual lessons and create overall schemes of work for my pupils so they can develop knowledge of materials and repertoire for them at different stages of their musical development. I extend my own musical experience by becoming familiar with the music my pupils listen to and music that is assigned from their primary music instructor, as well as have them become familiar with other musical styles and by developing improvisation and vocal skills.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Most students were sometimes getting good but sometimes they have a hard time playing with difficult notes that I teach. Some students were getting good on the beginning methods and understanding what the music book is going to read and learn about. I encourage the students to practice the beginning methods seriously for about 30 minutes. If the student is getting a little hard, she can take a break for 10 minutes and go back to the homework.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching guitar lessons for about three years both online and in person. I have taught people who were 7 years old to about 50 years old. I love discovering what works for each person and what each individual wants to accomplish by receiving lessons. I also like to expand their goals to new possibilities. I like to engage students with music they already know while also presenting music to them that can help improve their skills, and they might also find enjoyable. Read More

I tailor my lessons to fit each individual student's needs and goals, and am comfortable teaching both traditional classical music as well as various other modern genres. I typically use the Alfred books for children who are just starting out, gradually introducing solo repertoire as they progress. For adults, I use materials relating to whatever stylistic or technical goals they may have. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My teaching experience dates back to my College days when I tutored students while a student at Berklee. I have been performing private lessons for the past twenty years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the most important key points, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I teach both Classical and modern jazz styles and techniques and the combing of the two can go a long way to help the students enjoy playing more. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad plays guitar and piano. He used to play loudly on Sunday mornings to wake us up. My sisters both know how to play piano, and my brother plays piano and trumpet. My brother and I were in marching band together during high school, and we were section leaders of our respective instrument groups.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I suppose it was more gradual. I always loved music and being a musician, but I always was told that there is no way to make money with music. I thought about different career paths and struggled between something I love and something I can do but am not passionate about. I ultimately chose the former since I realized that life is short and should be spent doing what you love. It was the best decision I ever made.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second instrument was guitar. Besides the "cool" factor of playing a guitar, my brother received one for his birthday and never used it, so it was given to me. I struggled for a long time to learn the basics on my own, but once I got the hang of things, I loved being able to play and playing in a group. My third instrument was alto saxophone. Once again, besides being cool, my brother was in the marching band as well on trumpet, and I did not like the idea of him being my section leader, so I veered in the other direction. My fourth instrument was violin, but I am still a novice and I haven't performed on it just yet. I just loved the way it sounds and I had a friend who was a great teacher to me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style is contemporary orchestral music. I think the power behind having so many instruments is a unique feeling and sound, and I love the idea of people coming together to accomplish that. There is nothing else quite like it.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would either be a scientist or an artist. They are polar opposite professions, but I enjoy both science and art almost equally, and I love learning about the universe and how it works. Art is a bit more selfish for me since I enjoy the process of creating in general and not necessarily to create something for others.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in media composition. I chose that path because I love listening to film and game scores that draw you in and give you chills. It adds so much to the story and visuals, and I knew I wanted that to be my career. However, I also love helping others get to their goals in music which is why I love teaching.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my performance with my high school marching band at the Hollywood Bowl. I don't think I grasped what a huge deal it was at the time, but I constantly talk about it and I still have the performer badge they gave me. To know I shared a venue with John Williams and the like is incredibly awesome.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I find sight reading to be the most challenging thing for piano because of how many notes can be played at the same time at a quick tempo. It takes a lot of time and dedication to be able to accomplish that.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is different, but I would say you should notice a difference in skill by the end of the first month. Practice is essential to see any change.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have always loved the way piano sounds and how versatile it is. I may be biased because my father and siblings can all play, and I grew up with access to a piano. It is undeniably the most popular and the best instrument to start with because you can see the relationship between the notes like a map.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Something is better than nothing! Sit down and play for 30 minutes or an hour every day, even if you're not practicing a specific piece. You are training your muscle memory to be comfortable with your instrument.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is easily distracted or gets frustrated easily, it might be too early. It is also imperative that they know the alphabet and numbers as music uses these constantly.
