Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Drums Organ Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students, it is absolutely essential to learn the basics. As each student grows and has fully grasped a better understanding of the fundamentals, the I begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I have learned that every learner is different, so each person's lesson has to cater to their learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I teach private lesson, which means I plan and teach according to the individual's goal and level. When a student has one song that he or she just want to improve, I will help and focus on that song. When a student want to learn general piano, I use "My First Piano Adventure" piano book series. For piano technique, I use study materials from Certificate of Merit (Piano tests in California).

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele
For beginning piano students, I like to use the Piano Adventure book series. They do a very good job at laying out the basics of piano technique in a fun and colorful way for young children. As the students progress through the series I will encourage them to begin learning pieces on their own and eventually preparing them for recital performances. For vocal students, I like to teach based on their ability and style preference. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard
I strongly believe in having an open and honest relationship with my student. I think both should know upfront what the expectations should be, such as how long they will practice, what proper progress and growth looks like, as well as what they need from me to help them succeed. More than anything, I want to help my students grow their love for music in any way I can, and that might be different for everyone but that should be the priority. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I love teaching and connecting on a personal level with my students. My singing experience dates back to high school where I sang in concert choirs as well as an award winning jazz ensemble. From there I attended Orange Coast College, where I studied music theory, jazz and pop vocals. I trained privately for 5 years with the wonderful Nadia Smelser, and to this day impart to my students her techniques and methodologies. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Music Acoustic Guitar
It has become very addictive to me to see my students succeed. It is not all about them learning how to play an instrument, but also to have them believe in themselves. Trusting they can go beyond and know they can learn more than they could possible imagine. My students gain a lot of confidence when this happens. This does not happen from one day to another, but with a lot of discipline, effort, dedication and love for the music and the instrument that will make the sound become music. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin Viola
Vocal students are encouraged to pick songs from whatever genre sparks their interest. With violin and viola I use the suzuki method of training and follow the books and lessons, and I use other books to supplement scales/technique. If a student already has musical literature I am very open to using that to build a specific curriculum for that student. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I honestly have no idea what I would be doing. I don't remember being enthralled with anything other than music. And I think that if you're going to pursue music as a career in any aspect you need to ask yourself a very important question: Will I be able to live with myself if I DON'T pursue music. It can be extremely challenging to do. You may be living off ramen for a while, but if you're dedicated it is possible to make a living in music. You have to know that music is the only thing that you can do.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing classical music. I enjoy the challenge that comes with developing the technical skills to beautifully execute a piece of music. I love the type of emotion that is evoked from it. It can theatrical, energetic, crushing, and tragic. That isn't to say that it is better than any other type of music, but that it's different. I honestly think that broadening what I study has given me a another perspective on other styles, genres, and eras of music and a better understanding of them as well.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I've only studied guitar. I do have a strong affinity for electric bass guitar. The style of playing and the approach is drastically different than how one would tackle guitar, but it is extremely fun to play. I have played bass in bands before and it has been extremely enjoyable. I have dabbled a little bit on drum set and I've really loved that. Developing extremity independence is extremely challenging but it helps you understand rhythm in a VERY different way than how you would understand it on guitar.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have had musical family members. My great grandmother apparently could play piano extremely well. She had the ability to hear a piece one time and play it perfectly. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet her. My father used to play drum set, but by the time I was born he had given up music to support my mother, my siblings, and myself. So, I never really had anyone in my life that was a musician. My drive to pursue music was purely of my own, but thankfully my parents were very supportive of my interests.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a defining moment for me. I had been studying electrical engineering and attempting to get into the computer graphics school at Purdue. I was also performing with some friends I had made and we started running a music venue and doing some recording. It had hit me that THIS is what I wanted to do with my life. So, I started studying theory, working on my technique, and otherwise getting prepared for my entrance exams and audition at BSU. What was tough was leaving all my friends at Purdue behind to go into something in which i was totally alone, but it was worth it because it was precisely what I wanted to pursue.
