I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn. I can teach from any established method if that is preferred, but instead enjoy challenging the student to understand what music is and how music is played on their chosen instrument, not just to read.

Practice is without a doubt the pathway to success, but not just any practice because that can lead to the development of bad habits that are hard to break. I give my students a variety of ways to approach their music studies, because, if they are taking lessons then they are more serious about learning to become musicians than your general music class students. That makes them special in my eyes because they are taking a risk. Read More

I do my best to tailor my style to each students specific needs and goals. In general, I am a very laidback and patient teacher. My students recieve clear and achievable goals at the end of each of their lessons to work on while they are practicing during the week. This enables students to be able to really see their own progress as the practice. I also believe in music lessons being an enjoyable experience for students so I include students in making the decision for what pieces they would like to learn. Read More

I believe I am a friendly guy at heart, so I tend to be friendly with the students. There are times where I have to tell them, for example, "You haven't been practicing.". But I try my best to do that in love while encouraging them when I see even the smallest improvement. I feel as though the key is to play as much as possible. That can be hard to do when you feel like you don't know how to play. Read More

The way I have always approached teaching is the same way i learned music, to try and make each concept make sense by breaking down and relating basic key points of playing and improvising to each other. For example, I like to emphasize breaking down chords and the related scales in an easy to undertand and logical way. I emphasize the importance of phrasing and shaping chords while using such shred techniques as alternate picking, legatto, sweep picking and tapping. Read More

I've been teaching since 2005: Privately with students in their home or my studio, with brick-and-mortar studios, and with online lessons services (like Musika). It's most important that my students have fun learning their instrument, but I also emphasize daily practice and work on the fundamentals of whichever instrument he or she is learning. After all, if you don't work on the fundamentals, then you won't be able to play your instrument any better. Read More

I have always been a bit of a sponge and in my own early days as a self taught guitarist I would try and soak up everything I can. My first students were actually early band-mates and other musicians that I would jam with. I occasionally some private studios but currently teach out of my home studio which is both convenient for me and my students as I have all my materials, instruments, books I have acquired over the years easily available.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I'm pleased to share the successes of my students over the years:
1. While teaching at Dulwich College, I focused on fostering a passion for music in each student. Although it was a relatively short tenure, I established effective communication with parents to ensure they were kept informed of their child's progress.
2. During my time at Soochow University, I achieved remarkable results. I'm proud to say that I achieved the highest average score for all students in the university's history, with an average of 90 out of 100 points. Additionally, I produced the highest-scoring individual student in the university's history, who scored 95 out of 100 points. Furthermore, one of my students secured a top position at the Concerto Competition, winning 3rd place. Perhaps most importantly, I played a pivotal role in 96% of my students gaining professional employment, and they have maintained successful careers to this day.
3. As a Music Instructor and Orchestra Assistant at the festival, I customized violin/viola lessons for young musicians aged 10-18. I monitored their progress through regular assessments, which ultimately led to outstanding performances. I also organized masterclasses and provided a platform for students to showcase their talents, helping them elevate their skills for festival concerts.
4. In my private studio, I conducted weekly and bi-weekly private violin and viola lessons for students aged 10-19. I taught a wide range of repertoire and essential techniques, catering to both beginner and advanced students.
5. At Muzika, I enhanced students' musical proficiency by conducting General and Instrumental Music Classes. I also collaborated with Nord Anglia Chinese International School by teaching violin ensemble. Additionally, I provided online tutoring to international students from Germany, China, and Taiwan.
6. In Germany, I taught Music Theory, Violin, and Viola in group and private lessons, working with students aged 6-12. I also assisted in creating a customized curriculum to accommodate the diverse student population.
7. At Taiwan Adventist College, I coached the High School Quartet Seniors, leading them to a 1st place finish at the Taiwan National competition. I also assisted College Ear Training and Dictation students in their preparation for quizzes and exams. Additionally, I taught in after-school programs to provide extra learning opportunities for students.
8. During my tenure as a Private Violin and Viola Student Teacher in Taiwan, I guided students successfully through various challenges, including entrance exams and competitions. One notable achievement was mentoring a violin student to achieve 3rd prize in the Taiwan National Competition.
9. While working at Taipin Elementary School, I led the school orchestra to a 3rd place finish in the Taiwan National Competition. I emphasized innovation, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence in my teaching approach.
In summary, my students have achieved outstanding results, including top scores, competition wins, and successful careers in music. I am dedicated to nurturing their talents and helping them reach their full potential in the world of music.
