I have a 20+ years experience in teaching piano, and a classroom Music teacher as well. Music Theory is my forte and started to develop reading skills and teaching with the aid of technology. I started playing piano in our church when I was in 6th grade, that's when I realized that Everyone has a talent of something they can contribute to the world, It is also important to know that we are all given different talents to use at different times.

I started teaching because I have a passion for teaching, as well as helping students reach their true potential. I not only teach the students looking to learn their craft, but also those looking to better their ability. My goal is to impart my knowledge and love of music, theater and speech to all of my students. I now teach in my fully equipped home studio in Elk Grove, CA. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Every student is unique. I try to unerstand their individual interests and abilities before I design the teching style that would be most productive and enjoyable. Providing a solid foundation and understanding of musical principles is what I strive to achieve with my students. I prefer to be an inspiring and enthusiastic coach. The student should not feel pressured or constricted. I try to create an environment in which students can feel comfortable to relax and develop their own creativity while learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
For three years I was a camp counselor in the La Honda Music Camp (Hayward, CA). As a counselor, I looked after 10-12 middle school-aged girls, oversaw brass sectionals, coached trombone, and assisted in the junior wind ensemble. In high school I used to coach my classmates in the trombone section. In my grad school years I began to teach beginning piano and trombone. My hope when teaching music is that the kids have a lot of fun learning their instrument, so I always encourage them to learn songs they'd like to sing/play along to. Read More

Seeing my students progress as musicians is the most rewarding part about teaching. Being a good musician does not only mean that an individual has good technique but it also means that they are able to portray their thoughts through their music and most importantly, having fun. I encourage taking things one at a time to ensure that my students are understanding and internalizing the musicality in each of the lessons. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I'm fairly new to teaching. I had the opportunity to co-lead the soprano section in my university choir for a year, which gave me my first taste of what teaching other people was like. I loved it, because it allowed me to step into something bigger than myself: helping other people learn how to sing together well! After graduating from William Jessup University I began to intern at my church, where I started teaching group lessons. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For someone with no experience on guitar I'll typically begin with scales, and familiarizing with the guitar. For bass; exactly the same as guitar to start, drums would start with with your basic 2,4 beat, and familiarization with parts (snare, hi hat, etc). Vocalist I would always start with a warm up, basics, and note reciting. For keyboard beginners I would show them their A,B,C's as far as how to access those, and we'd start messing with different shapes, and songs almost right away. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Since I believe that building a relationship with my students is fundamental to my effectiveness with them, typically, I'll ask the student how they are doing, how their past week has been for them. if they have a crisis, I give them time to vent and decompress--if all is well, we'll do a brief social catch-up, we smile and get into the lesson...
Structurally, my protocol after that initial socializing is:
1-- I ask if everything we discussed/practiced last week made sense...
2--If not we review the questioned items...
3--I ask "What did you take home from last lesson"
4--They demonstrate --and I assess their progress...
5-I themn move into my lesson plan, couching it in terms of whta was touched on lasrt week....
6--We close the lesson with an assignment of how to take the skill/technique of today's lesson into actual practice at home, This typically involve me demonstrating on via a phone video camera...
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Msaters in related to the field of Education
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have the grace every weekend of being a choir director who helps choristers enjoy the delight of singing their hearts out while we as a group help feed the hearts and souls of the folks who come to the table...
I have published scores of songs that have become staples of weekly Sunday services...
I have over my teaching career helped hundreds of students express their joy in song and in their instruments...
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Indeed, having taught for 30 years+, I have proudly watched many of my students become professional musicians and teachers themselves...Such is a joy indeed to see student live their passion....
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
As with any instrument, with the guitar and the voice, it is not about simple "getting eh right note.." That's eh easy part--IT's COMMUNICATING the intent and power of that note and the passage that is the true purpose of this and any art....
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Through my education I have been exposed to all of these approaches, and they each in their way have influenced my rather eclectic pedagogical philosophy.
My first task with a student is to carefully assess where thy are, how thy learn, and what they want to learn----From there, I draw from each of thse methodologies the techniques and approaches that best meet each student's particular needs.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I've always been a singer, so choosing an instrument that would allow me to also sing was definitely a more logical choice that tuba...
My parents were not wealthy, so a $100 guitar was more realistic than a $5,000,piano, so, guitar it was!
