My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, where I would teach guitar and drum lessons to the locals. As I attended college, I learned more about how to guide students through their musical journey, and taught subjects such as music theory, music technology, guitar, percussion, wind instruments, and much more. Aside from my classical training as a percussionist, I took on many other musical endeavors while in college. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

For my young beginning piano students, I apply the Piano Adventures Method by Nancy and Randall Faber. For my older beginning piano students (13/14 and up), I apply the Alfred Adult Piano Method to ensure the material meets the student at his/her academic level. As for all woodwind students, I apply the Reubank Methody (Beginning, Intermediate, Advance), alongside Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for students currently in a school band. Once each student has reached a satisfactory level of performance, solo repertoire is then introduced. Read More

Every student is unique in how they approach and respond to music, so I make it a point to teach each individual student at their own pace. I also try to gauge what motivates and excites them, which allows me to better help them grow and develop in desired areas. Knowing these areas will help make lessons more fun, engaging, and rewarding for the students. When teaching adult students, I will accommodate them based on their goals, needs, and skill level.

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students I typically start with Bastien piano books which have 4 different levels. Once they finish 4 levels, I will begin to introduce classical songs, Hymn, Jazz, Game music, Pop and also teach them free styles with chord progressions. Also, my students can learn any songs they want to play since I am able to remake songs based on their level. For adults, I focus on teaching the sight-reading skill with the right technic and theory and also my adult students can learn any genre of music with me. Read More

I am a very active flautist as I perform with the Baltimore Flute Choir on a regular basis and with the Washington Flute Choir at the National Flute Convention. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The human voice is a highly expressive instrument where both art and science harmonize together. I employ humor and experimentation to provide a safe and secure environment that is tailored specifically to each individual singer. Such a learning space helps put students at ease, facilitates artistic exploration and enables development of their full potential as a singer. Art is the sharing of the human experience, and art is richer when we embrace our differences and celebrate our diversity. Read More
