Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Euphonium Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have had a good amount of performance and education experience, and look forward to passing the torch onto other ambitious, aspiring musicians. I have taught at two private music lesson agencies, one called Music Maker where I taught Brass in Anaheim Hills, as well as AMI music in Brea, CA where I taught beginner guitar. I have always had fun learning and making music, so to help someone else do the same is my primary objective. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello
Music should be fun. Plain and simple thats why I believe and that is whats kept me pushing forward. Its not going to always be an easy experience learning new things but that does not mean it cannot be fun. I want my students to feel like they are more than enough to play this song or sing that song. I want my students to believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I like to teach students in a way that encourages them to think for themselves and learn how to correct their own mistakes. I think it is important for students to develop a solid practice routine, which they can use for years to come. I like inspiring students by going beyond learning their instrument to helping them understand the history of their instrument and the music they are learning and the role/importance of music to them.

Music Culture come from 3 different sides: Classical ( i was a classical piano concertist for so many years) Rock ( like a pianist a composer i still have several Cd's on the international rock charts) aNd Music Therapy ( European style to use The Sound That Heal). A powerful mix of these 3 things is my personal method of teaching. my students will enjoy the music in a different, easy way , starting from the basics of reading and writing music ( we will learn to compose in a real short time ) to reach the Highest level to play and arrange song of every kind requested.

I know everyone learns at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a passionate instructor who loves working with students from all levels. However, my specialty lies in teaching advanced piano students. Due to the wide variety of experience in the piano teaching career, I have had the privilege of working with advanced piano students. I have had more than 10 years of teaching piano experience ranging from working with a privately owned Montessori school in Buena Park, CA. to working for a Music School, Brea. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin
I received my Bachelors of Music in violin performance from the University of Redlands. I will be starting school in July to receive my Masters in music education from Longy School of music. I have always wanted to teach and it is important for my students to enjoy the love of music. I feel it is important to perform as well so they understand that I still need to work hard to stay a strong musician. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
- turn off the TV or internet when practicing. Focus!
- 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than an hour of just messing around.
- be sure to play some music....not just a bunch of exercises all the time!
- play scales slowly at first in order to hear your tuning and pitches. Speed can come later.
- rest when tired. Then, do some more.
- use a metronome quite often
- use play-along recording
- record yourself once in awhile (use phone, iPad, digital recorder, etc.)
Best advice ever:
If you miss one day, you'll know it. You miss two days, your teacher knows. Miss three....the audience knows it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They should want to do it to some degree. If they're forced into it, they won't enjoy themselves and will end up resenting music lessons.
For trombone, being 'too small' could be a problem, unfortunately. Maybe they need to start on the trumpet if they're too young to physically pick up a trombone. But, you could buy a lightweight 'P-Bone' (made of plastic...and it plays!)
When will I start to see results?
Beginners: within 30 minutes. (expectations have to be realistic with beginners. If they get off to a good start with lessons, then they'll know what to work on in order to make some progress.
High school students: if they don't take the horn home from school and practice, well....sorry....it'll be erratic progress.
Adults: with dedication, they could be playing in any kind of ensemble they dream of within 5 years at a totally professional level. Maybe even sooner. They could have the stamina to play in a simple rock band horn section in a year if they kept at it...again, maybe sooner. Every individual is different.
* sometimes, having a teacher help you find a better mouthpiece that works for you and your horn can be a 'miracle cure'! I've gone through the mouthpiece search many times, and I know that it is vitally important to have a mouthpiece that works for you....not against you!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother....she was a professional piano player/teacher/accompanist.
I grew up listening to great music from birth. After high school, I was 'lost' in thinking of what to do or study. Then, a light bulb came on inside me....music!....it's what I'm always listening to and thinking of anyways.
My mother helped me get caught up on my music theory in order to audition for university music school.
And, she played for my recitals as well. Couldn't have done it without her!
