Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Euphonium Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have had a good amount of performance and education experience, and look forward to passing the torch onto other ambitious, aspiring musicians. I have taught at two private music lesson agencies, one called Music Maker where I taught Brass in Anaheim Hills, as well as AMI music in Brea, CA where I taught beginner guitar. I have always had fun learning and making music, so to help someone else do the same is my primary objective. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
With beginning students, I start with the fundamentals of the instrument, including embouchure and finger technique, as well as the ability to breathe properly, which is fundamental to playing any wind instrument. I also introduce beginning students to basic musical concepts, such as reading music, and tailor the musical selection to their tastes or to whatever group they are playing in, most often a school band class. For more advanced students, I observe what areas the student needs the most work in and tailor the lessons specifically to dealing with those areas, as well as catering to their individual musical tastes.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Ukulele Euphonium Tuba
16 years of teaching experience, from elementary-university level Beginning to advanced students, classical or jazz style. Online (Zoom/Google Meet/Skype) or in person. I can teach trumpet, horn, trombone and tuba. Beginning students, middle/high school, audition prep for college and I can tutor with music theory/band assignments. Each student gets a unique approach depending on their goals and experience level. Online lessons I will teach with a camera and also using a shared screen showing sheet music that will allow students to see markings on the music in real time. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium Tuba
My style of teaching seems to be very relaxed. I never force anything and I always want to give inspiration and motivation to the students. I get more pleasure and comfort knowing that this is something they want to do for themselves and not something I or their parents are forcing them to do. I think this also brings out the best playing and create motivation for the student. When I am teaching I give lots of support and even like to play along to give the student confidence and know that this is something that even I would do in my own practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument. For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone
I love sharing my knowledge of trumpet and music with students as well as inspiring creativity and the desire to learn. I believe it is mostly up to the student to teach themselves, I simply show them how to do this in the most efficient way. There are countless method books to choose from and most of them leave out the most important details of how to actually practice and get results. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
Of course, everything depends on what you, the student, want to learn! For younger students that are just starting, I've found the Accent on Achievement books to be very helpful in developing the basics of playing. From there, Classically-focused players would learn solo repertoire, Jazz-focused players would learn standards and improvisation, and all the other genres would begin to narrow down their appropriate fields. Adults are certainly welcome as well and I'd love to help them learn whatever they are interested in. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they have a good grip on English and have no health issues odds are they are ready to learn how to play an instrument. In many European countries, children learn music in Elementary school. If they are quite young, I may not even place goals on them as their bodies grow so much daily that everyday is different. Some days it's impossible to play and other days they play at an impressive level. If their ability is that volatile, they can still learn how to read and sing music. There is plenty that can be taught in lessons other than playing an instrument.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the student. The more the students chooses to practice, research, asks questions, and pursues better results determines how soon results will take place. I personally practice around two hours a day and I feel like everyday I improve a little more. For someone who is just starting to learn how to play and read music, I would say the average student can start seeing some serious results in about two weeks if they practice 15 minutes daily. For someone who only practices during lessons, it will take much much long.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first tuba teacher inspired me to pursue tuba in college and professionally. Experiencing how fun it was to play duets with him and playing in marching band was what made me feel connected to my playing. I feel like too many teachers spend too much time on goals, checkpoints, and deadlines instead of trying to convey the best of what music can be to the student. You would be surprised what your body can do to make a lifeless metal tube do. I want to show my students that they have the skills to make music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Learn many different warm ups and exercises. After you have obtained these sort out the ones that work best for you and practice them from start to finish everyday, regardless of frustration or how long it takes you. It is crucial that you play warm ups and exercises that work for you and not the ones that are simply easy and likable. As musicians, the only way we can improve ourselves is by practicing music that challenges us. You would be surprised what you can play if you commit to practicing it regularly. I guarantee that after one month you will have surpassed your expectations.
