Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
I started learning piano in first grade. I learned music theory, and it helped me learn other instruments quickly. In Middle School, I learned violin very quickly because I had the fundamentals down. After high school, my parents wanted me to have a financially stable career. I studied business in college, but ended up becoming a Middle School teacher. Not only did I teach math, I was also their music teacher for their after school music teacher. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola
I have been playing violin since I was 7, and viola since high school. My favorite part of music has always been the connection with others, and I still often play with others, either in chamber ensembles, sight-reading, or as part of an orchestra. I was a member of the San Diego Youth Symphony in high school, was part of my college orchestra in college, and have been a member of the San Francisco Civic Symphony since fall of 2013. Read More

My teaching experience comes from my experiences and lessons from my previous private teachers. During my 10 years of lessons I learned that importance of a regularly maintained practice schedule leads to the most effective practice sessions. I try to encourage students of all ages to seek out music that they find enjoyable and I do what i can to shape my lessons to make learning the music exciting. I try to anticipate a students need.

I have been the first chair in every orchestra Ensemble since I have been in the 7th grade including the CMEA Bay Area Secdtion Ensemble, Honor Orchestra, Bay Area Honor Orchestra, College of Marin Symphony Orchestra, etc I have also gotten three music scholarships from three universities, however, since I want to follow a different path, I decided to turn it down.

Instruments: Cello
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Music Performance, I found it to be a better match for my career goals. I am the best teacher I can be when I am playing my best, and it helped that I had some free time outside of concert cycles to research human cognition and educational psychology. I have been able to learn many things though my research jobs, projects, and own interest that I could’ve learned as an Education Major, though if I had chosen that path, I wouldn’t be able to play cello at this high of a level. It worked out for me!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I don’t recommend that students (especially children) practice for more than 10-15 minutes at time when just starting out, otherwise bad habits can build up quickly. I prefer to build successful practice habits from the beginning. When talking about skill building and advanced techniques, I work in increments of 5 minutes. Once you know how to do it (accomplished in lesson) maintain it for 5 minutes (in practice session). If that goes well, increase it to 10 minutes. Then 15. I usually find 20-30 minutes is plenty to start applying a technique successfully in assigned music. For passagework, start by doing it as you intend twice in a row. Then, 4x. Keep increasing by increments of 4. If you do this enough days in a row, it will become rote and you can focus on something else. Musical and creative practice goals will vary more from student to student. I like to challenge them to in a silly or drastic manner to help them find what sounds good to them.
When will I start to see results?
In order to progress, you need good practice habits and the ability to break things down into manageable parts. I help you establish the former by explaining how to do the latter in whatever you happen to be working on. Once you can do this, you will see results in every practice session. Progress starts small and grows over time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I thought I wanted to play the flute because my elementary school has an after-school band program, but when I went to the local music store to rent a flute, I saw a cello for the first time and the was the beginning. It was like a Hollywood love-at-first-sight moment, and at every stage of life since it turned out to be the right decision.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Most importantly, they should have an interest in music (even if just listening or singing, if you can’t assess aptitude that’s okay), and they need to be able to focus and absorb information for at least 30 minutes at a time.
