I started teaching at the age of 15 at my father's violin school in Yunnan, China. The school currently has more than two hundred violin students and five violin teachers. Almost every year I travels back to China and give master classes and exchange valuable teaching experience with the students and teachers there. Summer 2006, my students and I were invited by the International Youth and Children's Art Festival, we stayed in China for ten days. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my freshman year of high school where I tutored a younger student through the Suzuki Method for the next 5-6 years until she went off to college out of state. I have taught part time through the Chicago Public Schools where I worked with two kindergarden aged students. I have lesson plans and objectives I would like to hit at each lesson but if a skill we are working on still needs more practice then I will not rush to the next task. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes, my home, and online for the past 5 years. Ive found that introducing students to as many different styles of music as possible goes a long way in helping students enjoy playing their instrument and listening to recordings of their instrument.

Instruments: Violin Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle
If a student has never played violin before, I usually start out with a combination of the Suzuki method, the American Fiddle Method, and Jazz Fiddle Wizard to develop a holistic approach, comfortable with playing multiple styles, improvising, and playing both from sheet music and by ear from the very begginning. After the fundamentals are grasped, I ask the student what he or she really wants to play, and we develop technique and theory based on his or her favorite songs. Read More

I am an active member of Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC). My students take the Certificate of Merit (CM) test annually in performance, theory, sight-reading and ear training. Taking the CM test is optional but highly recommended. I also make sure my students have plenty of chances at performing on stage at recitals by organizing my own recitals or joining forces with other MTAC teachers. Having a recital to practice for is a great motivation for students to practice daily and gives the parents the chance to see their children's accomplishments. 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.
