I use various methods and books depending on the style, age, ability etc. I always keep my eye out for new books and open to suggestions. A few examples. With classical guitar students who are over 10 yo I prefer to use Christopher Parkening Guitar Method and Frederick Noad "Solo Guitar Playing" The latter suits more mature (both mentally and physically) students. With younger guitar students , 6-9 yo, I usually start by using basic guitar methods such as Hal Leonard Essential elements or "Everybody's Guitar Method" and my own easy arrangements of popular songs before shifting to Parkening.

Moreover, the instructor will provide all Assignments, Examinations, and Quizzes to the student. The fundamental of success in my class is attendance; missing class sessions will only set you back musically; therefore, attendance is worth 10% of your overall grade in both courses. Lastly, I utilize a paid grading software titled JupiterEd. I have used this phenomenal grading software for a long time; the Gradebook provides accountability for the student and effectively tracks student progress (both the Student and Parent have access to their own portal to check grades, announcements, and attendance).

I love forming partnerships with my students. When we work together, we begin to speak the same language and work toward your goals in a positive way. You will have an opportunity to play music from various styles and musical periods. There is no predestined path here. I tried that when I was in my 20's, and learned very quickly that every student is different. Everyone's paths diverged, and all those notes I had taken to plan ahead for the next six months didn't work at all. Read More

I am a driven and passionate instructor who loves to enrich students lives through the arts. I graduated from Royal Academy of Dance and Royal Academy of Music with a double major in Ballet and Operatic Music. I studied music personally under USC Professor Alison Amidon. I studied under Mischa Morgovsky from age 8 until 14. I have had the pleasure of performing with live orchestras in LA, New York. Beijing, and London. Read More

I like to work with my students to figure out what their passion is within the wide scope of music, and work from there. My lessons include: technique and warm-up exercises, performance preparation, personalized arranging, and an emphasis on individualized lesson plans based on level, interests, and goals. Depending on the instrument, level, and genre, some teaching materials I like to use are: Faber series, Fingerpower series, Music for Little Mozarts, Czerny etudes, A Tune a Day, Forty Little Pieces, Steps to the Real Book (Jim Levy), Jazz Piano Handbook (Michele Weir), Heart It and Sing It! (Judy Niemack), classical and popular music repertoire, and my own original exercises. Read More
