As an artist myself, I know how vulnerable it can be to share your voice. I also know that it is one of the most beautiful and gratifying ways to express yourself. With 15+ years of experience performing, recording, arranging and coaching vocals, I'm very confident I can help you reach your singing goals! I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Major in Songwriting and as a Vocal Principle. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I always begin by figuring out how I can best teach a student by asking them their interests and goals for singing; whether they want to sing jazz or provide vocals for their rock band, or learn to sing classically, etc. For all students who are atleast in their teens or older, I begin by describing how singing works and talk about the function of the body in singing. I usually use pictures from anatomy books to help point out the key organs and muscle groups that are engaged in healthy singing, so as to give a visual aid of what we are working to condition for singing.

I am a creative and nurturing instructor that possesses a Masters in Music Education and over a decade of practical experience. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University, and have enjoyed teaching at the collegiate level for the last several years. Participating in the International Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas",as well as in multiple regional performances at the Geffen Playhouse, Crystal Cathedral, Disneyland, Moonlight Ampitheater and many others, has given me the skill and experience that I love to impart to students!

Instruments: Piano Voice
While studying to complete my BA through Cal Poly Pomona, I have had the privilege of touring with Cal Poly Pomona's University Concert Choir for at least three years. I have been heavily involved with this choir for a total of 5 years, and I was appointed as Section Leader for the Sopranos for one term, which meant hard work and dedication almost paid off back then. This was the period of my gigging days because some of these tours were paid tours where all of singers were paid to perform around SoCal. Read More

If you want to learn, I want to teach. We're a perfect match! Read More

My approach to teaching is very student-centric. I firmly believe that every student has unique talents and insights. I strive to find the right balance for every student, between their personal goals and what areas of opportunity for growth I see for them. It is my mission to help every student get the most out of every lesson, and leave knowing that they have discovered something new about themselves and their ability to connect with music. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think it was gradual, i always knew i loved playing and learning but when i attended Pasadena City College, i knew i wanted more exposure to music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I actually began playing other instruments before drums, and thats kind of how i realized i loved drums. My first instrument was piano then i started picking up the guitar and bass.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, me and my older brother are both drummers in our family. My great uncle played upright bass and my great grandfather was an Accordion player here in the Los Angeles area.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
No other instrument feels quite like the drums, to me. It's a lot, but when i'm in "the zone" or in "the moment"..i feel complete and pure bliss.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of every student I have helped get over a “hill” in their journey through the instrument. That first time they achieve a new groove or point of technical is pure magic to me.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start slow, spend 10 minutes on each subject you want to practice, practice infront of a mirror, set goals, listen to the style / genre you want to learn and don’t forget to breathe.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Marine Biologist, the ocean is a fascinating place and beautiful. I've been a big animal lover my whole life, currently a dog dad of two pups (Rocket & Missy).
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Progressive music, doesn’t need to be complicated and doesn’t need to be fast. All progressive is a mystery when you press play, because there really is no boundaries.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Lock the door, put your phone aside, set goals, get comfortable and warm up. Anytime I sit behind my drums I want to feel refreshed and present.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I obtained my degree in Music Performance, for drums & percussion. I wanted to expand my vocabulary and challenge myself while being surrounded with like mided people / musicians.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Your own identity, I’ve been playing for 16 years and have just recently begun to figure out what statements I want to make on the instrument. Everyone can learn parts, but no one can be you.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Their passion for the instrument inspired me to keep going with what I wanted to learn. My joys, my ambitions and my influences were encouraged to be incorporated in my playing.
When will I start to see results?
In my experience, students begin to show progress after two lessons. Everyone is different and has unique strengths & weakness', this includes their process of learning new concepts / ideas.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any sign of interest with the ability to understand instructions, is all the reason to begin your journey on the instrument. Especially if they have favorite songs growing up and enjoy playng them again and again.
