Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard
My lesson plans are curated for individual needs. Over the past twelve years, I have worked with all ages, talent levels, and abilities, and have learned that it is absolutely essential for the teacher to adjust their methods for each students, as each individual has different goals, learning styles, interests, and needs. I strive to find new music my students will fall in love with, and am constantly learning new music to help them play their favorite songs at their current level. Read More

For ten years, I have been teaching successfully from my home studio, teaching students of all ages and with different music backgrounds.In 2015 I joined The J St Orchestra in Sacramento, CA playing the cello under the direction of Krystyna Taylor. This year also, I've had the oportunity to partner with the Sacramento Performing Arts Conservatory to teach a music program in an elementary school in Elk Grove,CA Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For voice, I will typically start with technique and breath. The first lesson is heavy in feeling the anatomy of the body to cultivate a coordinated breath for the most optimal and healthy singing. From there, we move into warm-ups, and will adjust vowels to find resonant spaces. Generally, with the voice, after the initial work with anatomy there is an improvisatory style of teaching that I develop, catered to the individual. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I have over a decade’s combined experience teaching music to K-12 and adult students of all levels, including four years of TA’ing college-level music courses. I have worked as a private flute and piano teacher, an after-school program instructor, a summer music camp teacher, and as a substitute music theory instructor at a community music school. While at UC Davis, I was a TA for several music courses, including introductory music theory, introductory music history, and intermediate ear training. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Music
For beginning students in flute and piano, I use Trevor Wye flute books and Alfred piano books, respectively. These books cover fundamentals and hand technique and once that is learned and internalized, then I will introduce more solo or accompanied repertoire that they would eventually perform in a recital. For beginning composition students (which are taught remotely on Zoom), I will go over different "lectures" about fundamental music theory and integrate short composition assignments that go according to what was learned in the lesson.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private piano lessons part time 10 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that finding the genre the student likes can go a long way in helping them enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Determining if your child is ready to start lessons, whether it's for music, sports, or any other skill, involves considering several factors. Here are some key indicators to help you assess their readiness:
1. Interest and Enthusiasm: Is your child showing a genuine interest in the activity? Do they express excitement or curiosity about learning it? Eagerness is a positive sign.
2. Age-Appropriateness: Consider your child's age and developmental stage. Some activities may have age recommendations, so make sure your child is within the suggested age range.
3. Attention Span: Assess your child's ability to focus and concentrate. Most lessons require a certain level of attention and patience. If your child can sit still and pay attention for the duration of the lesson, it's a good sign.
4. Physical Readiness: Depending on the activity, your child may need certain physical abilities or coordination. For example, they should be able to hold a pencil if they want to start drawing or be able to handle a musical instrument properly.
5. Emotional Readiness: Consider your child's emotional maturity. Are they able to handle constructive criticism and setbacks without becoming overly discouraged or frustrated?
6. Responsibility: Some activities require regular practice and commitment. Assess whether your child is responsible enough to follow through with lessons and practice routines.
7. Support from the Child: Ideally, your child should express a desire to learn and participate in the activity. Their enthusiasm and willingness to attend lessons and practice are good indicators.
8. Parental Support: Evaluate your own readiness and willingness to support your child in their chosen activity. Are you prepared to provide the necessary resources, transportation, and encouragement?
9. Time Commitment: Consider your family's schedule and whether you can realistically accommodate the time required for lessons, practice, and any related activities or competitions.
10. Consult with Professionals: If you're uncertain, it's often a good idea to consult with professionals or instructors who specialize in the activity your child is interested in. They can provide insights and recommendations based on their expertise.
Remember that every child is unique, and readiness for lessons can vary widely from one individual to another. It's essential to support your child's interests and aspirations while being attentive to their individual abilities and needs. Starting with a trial or introductory lesson can also help you gauge their readiness and interest in a particular activity before committing to a long-term schedule.
