I also incorporate pop, rock and jazz into students' curriculum. It is important for me to know that my student is enjoying the lesson.

Lori L

Instruments: Piano Voice

While studying to complete my BA through Cal Poly Pomona, I have had the privilege of touring with Cal Poly Pomona's University Concert Choir for at least three years. I have been heavily involved with this choir for a total of 5 years, and I was appointed as Section Leader for the Sopranos for one term, which meant hard work and dedication almost paid off back then. This was the period of my gigging days because some of these tours were paid tours where all of singers were paid to perform around SoCal. Read More

Yaocheng Y

Instruments: Piano Flute

I like to challenge my students to be the best they can be as musicians. For the serious candidates, inspiration is a necessity! On top of lessons they are encouraged to grow by listening to other musicians learning from them. I value the teacher and student relationship. Most of the time I feel out what the client would do well with. (A lot of guidance or a lot of freedom vice versa) I see myself operate more as an accountability coach in my teaching. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Victoria B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably be Schumann's work called Kinderszenen, which includes 13 pieces Schumann composed all inspired by his childhood in one piece. It has the most beautiful and unique music theory and harmony with so much expression and rubato. I only hope to one day play it as good as some world class pianists

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love trap/pop music. Trap is the go to groove today and it has so many good vibes in it. Trap is so fun to dance to and it is. mainstream.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play the trumpet because I thought it was such a cool instrument, and so much different from the piano. I wanted to go outside of my comfort zone, it all trained me so much as a singer and taught me about breathing and circular breathing.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father is so gifted with music and he plays by ear. He is an insane guitarist and can play pretty much anything. He really inspired my to pursue my musical endeavors

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician the minute I entered a summer intensive program when I was 15 years old. I knew from that moment, that there was nothing else I wanted to do with my life.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would probably have to say I would want to open up my own bakery. In my free time, I love to bake homemade dessert and love to watch culinary arts

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I really recommend Faber and Alfred to Beginner and Intermediate students. Faber has a very great structure in their materials especially from Primer to Levels 1-4B. It organizes both music theory and music expression in a great and fun way or students. For teenagers and adults looking for advanced material, I highly recommend using Hanon, Bastion, Schirmer's library of Chopin, Beethoven, or any other composers they want to study.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is asking the student how their week has been, what they would like to warm up with, I typically review any music theory or material we went through the previous week, and move on to new music as they are more comfortable and building up sight reading skills, For little ones, and students in beginner, I incorporate lots of games and activities to make music lessons fun.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a music degree in Songwriting and Composition because it is what I am most passionate about. Ever since 7, I have written my own music and wrote songs as a vocalist and pianist. My classical training has allowed me to have the knowledge to compose creative and inspiring music of multi genres.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
