My teaching style is by assigning studies and etudes to develop fundamentals while simultaneously incorporating the learnt fundamentals into “real-time”, on the job training! I have learned all of my most valuable lessons while performing and being put on the spot; I will teach my students how to be prepared for any situation, not only in regard to music but also in relation to life, by having a calm and steady approach to the task at hand!

Effective music education is both developmentally and culturally appropriate: By working with the student to understand their interests, I hope to provide them with an experience that will enrich their musical and social life outside of the work we do together. Through infancy, I believe Music Learning Theory is effective for developing musical and linguistic skills. If a student in toddlerhood/childhood shows that they have a preferred way to express themselves musically, I will tailor lessons around the Kodaly (voice), Orff (instrumental), or Dalcroze (dance) philosophies.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo
I am a passionate and committed music instructor and performer. I have recently completed my second master's degree at the Royal College of Music where I learnt from some of the greatest musicians of our time (i.e. Gareth Davies and Susan Milan) and perform with fantastic orchestras like the London Symphony Orchestra. As an avid doubler, one who plays multiple instruments usually within the same instrumental family, I perform regularly on the flute, clarinet and saxophone, especially in musical theatre pit orchestras.

Incorporate different musical styles: Drumming is used in a wide range of musical styles, and it can be helpful for students to explore and learn about different genres. This can help them develop a more diverse skill set and a better understanding of how to apply their skills in different musical contexts. 5. Use a combination of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning: Different people learn in different ways, and it can be helpful to use a variety of teaching methods to reach all students. Read More

My goal is to give my students a strong music foundation such as developing great/productive practice habits, instrument care, exposing them to great artist and bands of different genres that will inspire and motivate them to become the best musicians they can be. I believe in patience is a virtue when it comes to a student's progression in music. I believe that understanding the foundation and fundamentals of learning an instrument is the first step to mastering the instrument. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone
I am an extremely passionate saxophonist, musician, and teacher. I love sharing all that I have learned about the saxophone with students and helping them to grow in their journey with both the saxophone and music. I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, where I received both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Saxophone performance from San Jose State University. In 2022, I moved to New York City to work towards my Doctorate at the Manhattan School of Music. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Finding my own voice and freeing myself from academic pressure. Many students start studying music as something external, a subject to master. But as they progress, music becomes who they really are and they find this intimate, personal connection that makes a life full of meaning.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I do not know, why. I never chose it. The idea came to me suddenly, like an irresistible urge, to go and buy an saxophone and start playing right away. When that happened, I already was a well-known singer-songwriter and a jazz vocalist.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My childhood teachers did not inspire me, but scared me off and strongly traumatized me - they were oppressive, violent, rude and very academic. I decided to study music for real in spite of them, because I was sensing that there is something very different about music than what they were trying to do to me. Music for me was my parents' jazz and classical records, my family playing piano and improvising. For me, it was natural to play, sing and improvise - and my teachers, unfortunately, made it very unnatural and fear-based, fear of mistakes. This is the reason why I decided to start teaching and help people to de-stress themselves, to feel joy and pleasure in music, to find relaxation and good feeling about oneself.
When will I start to see results?
You may see the obvious results already after the first lesson. The first lesson will already enable you to play a simple melody. Seeing and feeling the results is very important to keep being motivated, so I try to help you to start playing right away. For that reason, a one-hour first lesson is highly recommended, instead of the usual 30-min introduction. A woodwind instrument is a combination of operating the instrument and operating one's own body and breathing.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Try to touch the instrument every day, even if only for 5 minutes. When playing, play as slow as to feel completely comfortable, without making mistakes or losing focus. Play the material that feels moderately challenging, not totally easy and not too difficult to manage. Keep breathing calmly, deeply.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Make sure he/she listens to music or hears musicians perform live. Imagination in lessons is more important than mechanical skills. For woodwind instruments, it is not recommended that a child starts lessons before she/he can physically reach all keys on the instrument without strain on the body. Usually it is a minimum of 7 years old. Although there are training woodwinds made of plastic, Nuovo brand.
