I want to see my students gain knowledge as well as a passion for music from their time of study.

Correct performance should never feel like a chore, and teaching deserves the same attitude and outcome. Read More

Through SOTA I performed over 100 concerts all around the Bay Area. I recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz where I was highly involved with the Santa Cruz music community. Read More
