Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The methods I use change depending on the student, but generally, I use the following: - Piano: start with Alfreds (suited for age/proficiency), then choose a specialty (improvising, classical, pop, etc) - Guitar: start with Hal Leonard (for note reading), then choose a specialty (jazz, pop, classical, flamenco, etc) - Voice: because of the nature of the human voice, I dont use a book, but rather teach principles and methods to use during practice and performance Regardless of the instrument, I hope to help you improve as much as I can.

Instruments: Voice Violin Viola
I like to inspire my students with my own passion for music, and keep lessons fun. Students should never feel like lessons are a chore, but rather should leave a lesson inspired. I think of music as food for the soul. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
While I understand that fundamentals are necessary and the need to learn and study the "how" and "why" of music is incredibly important, there is absolutely a place for popular music. I strive to create a fun and captivating setting for students that includes making connections between standard repertoire and modern popular music. Once I understand a students wants or needs I will be able to adjust my curriculum to better fit the specific needs of that student. Read More
Instruments: Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my childhood in ministry and then at sixteen I had the opportunity to direct at school and to found and direct a Musical Theatre Ministry at church. As I continued to direct and teach both Music and Musical Theatre in college and as a professional I decided to take on private students in 2005 and have loved every moment of teaching my private students. I have taught the novice to the professional with both Broadway and UK Pop Chart credits. 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: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard
I use the teaching method as previously described, and try to tailor my style for each student. Everyone learns, practices, and progresses uniquely -- so it's part of MY job to figure out the best approach to help each of my students. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I started teaching Math professionally when I was 18 years old. After 21 years old, I started to teach at local music school as well as teaching privately at students houses. Some students asked me to teach Japanese, and I have taught Japanese as well. Teaching is my calling and I am good at it. I am just helping people to understand things they do not know or understand. I grew up with a private tutor and my academic was excellent. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was asked in churches to play because I could read music and hymns quite well. I was also asked to play for choirs and that was enjoyable. I was asked to teach at a preschool a music class and that is where it all really started. I really enjoyed that and the students grew. The desire to be a professional musician sort of grew gradually, because I always enjoyed creative art also.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
my two older sisters performed in San Diego area even before i was born. They played organ, accordion and piano. My parent's immigrated after the world war 2 and their heart was for their children to have music and play in church.
They didn't continue but their children also play some instrument.
My sister Susan in Texas has been teaching for many years.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I enjoyed singing and people told me I had a good voice. I started taking lessons and singing in choirs. I really started to grow for the love of singing. It was easier for me to play piano and I was shy about singing in pubic. I started finding out I could play piano and sing at the same time which really helped me
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Music is such a big part of my life, but I really enjoy writing stories. I love art also and love my students showing me their art pieces. I would probably be an activity director in a veterans hospital or retirement facility. I really love helping people and would and sometimes think I will study to be an expressive art therapist. The arts heal wounds that can be very deep. Music, art, and dance. I have learned in studying that in dementia music is the last thing to leave them. The can be very ill but you play a song they know their eyes light up even if they can't talk. It is so beautiful to see. I worked with a women who had frontal dementia a music teacher. She was diagnosed with this disease at 68. She couldn't remember music and motor skills were deteriorating but she could still play somewhat. I would also review theory and she could remember songs. IN performing in memory units the people didn't know their names but the songs they could sing.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I enjoy doing my own compositions,because I really can feel the music and they each have their story. As for for other composers I enjoy their work like moonlight sonata, and many more. beautiful pieces.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
composition. love writing music and such a blessing to be able to understand and be creative. i enjoy teaching but I also enjoy performing. My love for teaching grew when I had my own children. I so much enjoyed children even more and working with all different types of different personalities.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
hymns, they are beautiful and heartfelt. I love playing in church and seeing people enjoying singing. I also love contemporary christian music because like to be creative and play chords and sing. I also enjoy contemporary classical music, becauseit is creative. I like the classical music because it is challenging and beautiful.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
i tell my parent's if they can practice 4 days a week each piece and song 3 times. This teaches them responsibility. It will be only 5 or 10 minutes but as the student grows and music gets harder they learn the discipline. When they have more songs it goes to 20 to 30 minutes a day and if children like to practice more that is awesome!
