Instruments: Piano Violin Trombone Saxophone Clarinet
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what truly inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and the needs. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I have taught violin since the year 2011. My students have primarily been between the ages of 10-16 with the exception of one student being in her 40's. I have taught beginners to advanced beginners, and most of my students have to this point hired me to train for a particular upcoming audition. During the years of teaching, I have found that I truly enjoy watching students obtain the gift of being able to play music. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Music
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Violin Method (Viola version available) with occasional ear training with the piano with the Kodaly method. For intermediate and advanced students, I introduce a variety of etudes, scale books, and solo repertoire, e.g. Carl Flesch, Kreutzer, Mazas, Dont, Dounis, and Unaccompanied Bach, etc. For viola students or violinists who are looking into doubling the viola, I introduce many techniques including Karen Tuttle and Primrose Scales to help along with the transition.

Instruments: Violin Viola Fiddle
I am a violinist and fiddler based in Echo Park, and have been teaching privately as well as in public schools and music camps for about eight years. In 2013 I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Ethnomusicology, and have since been writing, recording and performing with several ensembles in a variety of genres. I have won competitions as a solo fiddler, in bluegrass ensembles, and with bands performing original compositions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I always make sure my students and their parents have realistic expectations when they start taking music lessons. For instance, violin is a difficult instrument to play and it can take months of practice to play a simple tune. However, it can be fun and enjoyable as long as it is understood that these simple accomplishments in playing the violin are in fact rather big ones. I request the parents of young (5-7 years old) students to be present during the lesson as often as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I began teaching piano and violin lessons 15 years ago and have been consistently teaching ever since. Encouraging daily practice, and helping the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument is one of the key points. While enjoyment is the number one rule, following their development and progress with certain method books are really important. I encourage my students to compose their own original material as well as participate in certification exams and recitals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I loved teaching violin with students for all ages. I'm a self-employed violin and piano teacher. I enjoy playing my violin in other orchestra with Crown City Symphony in Altadena, Corelli Ensemble, Southland Symphony Orchestra and Palos Verdes Regional Orchestra. In 2014, I graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a degree in Violin Performance. My great experience is to play as a professional orchestra performance to enjoy myself playing all around the world. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I aid my students in creating a regular routine. I believe in a balanced approach and small sectioning and memorization techniques. I teach my students how to be disciplined and how to strive towards excellence taking pride in their practice and accomplishments.
Typical 1 hour practice for vocalists: 10 minutes of breath work, 10 minutes of vocalise, 30 minutes of repertoire and memorization, 10 minutes of IPA study/diction. Also during the week, music history study by watching musicals, operas, ear training/theory homework.
Each student is different but I have all my students keep a practice journal, and I show them how to get maximum benefit from practicing. I hold my students to high standards, and if students are consistently unprepared, show up without their books or continually do not follow my studio policy they are dismissed. But I am a loving caring teacher and have never had any challenges with students not practicing or trying their best.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe it comes down to the parents. Many parents today do not discipline their children correctly. Since many parents work, there is often absentee parents, and children are on social media all day.
When I was a child it was REQUIRED that I practice music 2 hours a day before I played. You may start a child at any age. Spend time with your child, love them and get them interested in music and the arts. My parents started me in music at age 3.
Personally though I'm more of an artist dev coach... I tend to work with High School Age students and adults over children. Though I have taught children in the past... I prefer the intellectual stimulation of advanced artists.
When will I start to see results?
A student will see results if they commit and follow my suggestions. It is always up to the student.
I find personally that students preparing for careers in the arts or retired seniors who have all the time in the world to study make for my best students. These students work hard and stay loyal to me. I have had students that started with me at age 12 that are now professional arts in coaching with me at age 21.
I don't waste my time with flakey students who are not serious about their personal excellence. I have no problem teaching beginners (age 12 and older) if they are doing their best to practice and progress.
I'm a great motivator and my students are the very best in Southern CA... What usually happens is a new student will be greatly inspired by the success of my other students who always win competitions, get the starring roles in musicals, and give dynamite performances.
