B.A. Biola University, minor in music M.Ed Grand Canyon University
I'm a kind and dedicated instructor who enjoys working with all types of students and sharing the gift of music. In 2004, I graduated from Biola University with a minor in music. I studied under Manami Kawamura, an accomplished and amazing pianist. I have since continued my studies in music and have played at church and other venues. My students are what inspire me and fuel my musical endeavors.
I have attained over 10 years of longevity as a piano instructor. I began teaching private lessons part time and have continued ever since. I have taught a wide range of ages and skill levels, and have established good rapport with students and families over the years.
I'm a thorough and conscientous instructor. I like to prepare my students well for their future musical endeavors, whether it be an audition, performance, or college coursesework. This is achieved by including technique, theory, and aristry in each lesson. I choose literature appropriate to the level of each student's advancement. I am also receptive to alternate ideas.
I primarily use the Bastien teaching style. The musical concepts are taught in a progressive and logical manner and thus are easy to follow. The student is given time to experience a new theory using a hands on approach. Then, the student works on theory in written pages. Finally, the student applies what is learned in new pieces as they go forward in their musical instruction.
