Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
The best part of teaching for me is seeing students transform from unsure beginners to confident musicians with enthusiasm and passion for their own chosen taste in music. I know students can drive the lessons with their choices, so I let them select music that will keep them coming back for more challenges. Even still, I want them to have the exposure to diverse training and music styles to expand their own style. Read More

I believe in getting the student interested in the concepts and styles themselves, i like to introduce them to different ways of playing and my main method is to show them how it can be exciting to play/learn. For eg, for someone who loves games, I would show them how to play chords and melody ( on a piano ) at the same time by using the Minecraft theme song as an example, or any game that they might know and enjoy so it gets them interested to want to play and learn, through that i will show them dfferent techniques and concepts, this way they are already enjoying what they are learning and at no point will not want to practice it on their own.

Instruments: Piano
No matter what skill level the student is at, I want to always make sure that the student is always engaged and interested in the repertoire! I find that more important than anything else, as I want to build that passion within each and every student to be able to not only play piano, but to love and cherish its history. I want to develop a personal connection with each student I teach, and cooperate with whatever needs they may have. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele
I am a charismatic, fun, sensitive, and super-knowledgeable instructor ready to help you achieve your musical dreams! I left my Ph.D. in 2013 so I could perform and teach more on my own terms, and I am thrilled to be a working performer in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. My earliest musical training was in voice, and I have been an accompanist for many years, so I enjoy collaborating on helping vocal students express their highest potential. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Hello, my name is Fang. I studied piano as my major for Undergraduate studies and have since finished my studies as of June, 2018. I am looking forward to teaching beginners or intermediate in classical training. I want to teach an all-around encompassing a strong foundation for the piano. This includes playing the piano, techniques, hand coordination, ear training, improvising, beginner theory, notation reading, and anything else that interests my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I start with the basics and for young students do nursery rhymes and songs they know,this makes it more enjoyable for them. I also ask them what music they would be interested in learning and see if I can find an easy version of this. Lately,the Encanto movie has been popular and Ive been teaching younger students these songs. Many of my teen students like to learn Beethoven and other classical composers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I love to teach cause I loved the teachers I had. What they played, what they taught me and what they said. And that's my approach. Music is not just notes. Music is an experience, a fun one. Technique, styles, reading, rudiments, playing with the click, tempo exercises, coordination,...All ages and specific inquires are welcome! My goal is you to have good times playing! Both piano and drums students I offer the possibility of playing along with the student to make it a lot of fun and richer! Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in both piano performance and psychology. The two are more closely interlocked than most would think. At its core, I believe that music is a a form of communication and communication is integral to our human psyche. My work in musical cognition and psychology informs my teaching, practice, and performance. I have researched performance anxiety, stress, and memory both in their psychological and musical capacities. Repeatedly, I have found that one influences the other and this has consequently led me to make changes in my own musical life. After all, music does not exist without humanity and humanity is driven by the human condition.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano is unique in that it is a percussive instrument but often plays the role of a melodic instrument. The range of sound that you can pull out of the piano (from the shortest staccato to the longest held line), especially the modern piano, is second to none. I love the challenge of an instrument that straddles such endless sound worlds. The repertoire for piano is also the most vast out of all instruments. You can play anything, of any genre, on the piano, easily shown by the numerous transcriptions and arrangements found in music shops all over the world. It is also a harmonic or orchestral instrument, meaning you can play multiple pitches at once, creating chords that support your melody. Whereas many other instruments require collaboration to create a full sound of multiple pitches, the piano has the choice to recreate this on its own or with an ensemble.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I once had a teacher tell me that music was the closest thing we had to magic. Imagine, something that you can't touch, see, or quantify captivating people for hours on end. They're just vibrations but music has moved people from the beginning of time. This teacher opened doors for me. It is so easy to be caught up in the mundane tasks of practice that sometimes we forget that what comes out of our instrument is magic. He often said that our fingers were simply a tool that followed the imagination of our minds. This thought has pulled me out of many ruts in my own musical journey, when I became too preoccupied with fingerwork or speed and momentarily forgot about the expression and the beauty.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
So many children go through the cliche of being forced through piano lessons. The horror! I believe that a child is ready to start lessons when they are able to sit through a half hour to an hour of anything educational and when they themselves express an interest in music. Piano is a great way to start a child off on their musical journey because it is so visual; the notes are literally laid out in a row. You know your child is ready when they tinker away at the keyboard of their own volition! And of course, a love of the arts can be fostered and found through lessons so please do try lessons out.
When will I start to see results?
This is a difficult question to answer just because there is no "right" timeline for learning an instrument. It will take as long as it takes and we will celebrate each individual achievement as it comes. That being said, the basics usually take between one and three months to sink in depending on a myriad of factors like age, previous experience, and amount of time practiced between lessons. This should also come as good news though because you ARE in charge of your own results to an incredible degree! Music gives back as much as you put in so if you are diligent in your practice and don't forgo the less fun aspects (technique drills, scales, etc.), you will see your progress in leap and bounds.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It's about quality, not quantity. Don't burn yourself out or lose your excitement by forcing yourself to drill mindlessly. Concentrate on the problem at hand: is it technique? Is it artistry? Is it memorization? Break whatever it is down into little pieces and focus entirely on just that. Maybe practice only one bar or focus on one finger's motion or just the wrist. Take breaks! Let your practice sink in even as you are away from the piano. On that note, also take time to mentally practice. Visualization is sometimes the best way to get your muscles to obey. Close your eyes and imagine what it would feel like to perform a motion or a tricky passage. Hear your ideal sound. Then try again.
