Instruments: Violin
I have been teaching privately for fourteen years now. I studied under Dr. Ernest Salem at Cal State Fullerton and received various master class from members of Talich Quartet, Mary Straub, Wei-Wei Lu, and most notably James Buswell. My former teacher, Andrea Byers, studied with world renown, Ivan Galamian. I received my bachelor's with an emphasis in music education. After completing my undergrad, I was accepted to the Bob Cole Conservatory at California State University of Long Beach on scholarship, and studied violin performance. Read More

In addition to private studio teaching, both in-person and remote for 6 years, my teaching experience comes from being as an Adjunct Faculty in violin and viola for non-music majors at New York University, the orchestral viola coach at Mannes Prep Precollege Division, director of Chamber Music and violin/viola faculty at Thurnauer School of Music. My students at younger ages have passed auditions of prestigious music pre-college programs as well as school-region youth orchestra programs; college-age students have won scholarships at their colleges for music minors and double-majors.

Instruments: Violin
I start by setting realistic goals for each lesson, but I will not rush past something just to be able to finish the lesson plan I had written out for the day. The core fundamentals of violin are so important and believe that everything deserves adequate attention. Quality over quantity. I believe in giving student specific compliments, but children can tell when you are not being genuine, so I make sure to be thoughtful when giving them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I have 20 years of teaching experience. Starting in Las Vegas I conducted private lessons at multiple private music schools where I had more than 50 students per week. In Los Angeles I continued to teach at music academies for many years. I'm an expert in listening to music and performing on an instruments immediately. So a lot of times, if my student's interrested in listening to a video and performing it on instrument by ear, I help them to do it. 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

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.
