I am new to teaching but I have worked as an organizer and choir leader in my high school and college, giving me the experience I need to have an organized curriculum for new students that is interesting and actually impactful. I aim to teach younger beginner guitarists how to best pick up the instrument and learn by playing the songs that they actually like! Breaking them down so they understand the music, but also feel like they're learning the necessary skills to pick up and play any song they want in the future and perform confidently. Read More

So I did. I also engaged with a Masters program at Hunter which I enjoyed and definitely improved my skills as a teacher in the Fall of 2009. Ultimately, I did not stay in that program because I was already teaching so much in a so many different settings. In short, I wanted to put all of my energy and focus into actual teaching rather than the formality of a Master's or state certification. Read More

I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument. For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process! Read More

I've also found that a combination of classical, traditional world music and modern music have a very students enjoy the singing or playing and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. I create a fun and relaxed environment on my lessons to make students learn new things with interest and develop their skills without any fear and blocks. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

I first started learning the guitar in high school. I found I had an affinity for the instrument so I continued to study classical guitar and piano in college. I first started giving lessons my junior year in college and have continued to teach ever since. I am also currently the music director for the Yorba Linda United Methodist Church in Yorba Linda California. My responsibilities there include: Arranging and directing music for both services and outreach/charitable activities, and providing one-on-one instruction for player/vocalist development. Read More

There is nothing more rewarding to me than a seeing a student play that song they love so much for the very first time. Many times, they never thought they would EVER be able to play it, but yet in only a few lessons hdere they are, playing it! I have a skill for breaking down what seems like a complicated subject, and explaining in the most simplfied way that everyone can understand, no matter their backround. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am extremely friendly and super encouraging. I am great at judging whether students would like to be pushed vocally or need some more time. I am very encouraging and positive while also providing guidance and experience. I very much believe in my students and want them to get the most out of there lessons. I am always so excited and passionate when I see my students improving and excelling vocally. 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.
