My method of teaching involves researching a wide range of resources in order to find what is best for the student at the current stage in his or her development.  Using my own knowledge, I am able to effectively adapt and improve these resources so as to be accessible to the student.  For bass students, I might use Hal Leonard's Bass Method, book one.  For young beginning guitar students, I recommend The Beginning Guitarist's Book by Tom Hess.

Something that I really strive for in my teaching is inspiring young musicians. I believe that music is such an imperative part of society that also provides life skills that people will carry with them for the rest of their lives. I want to be able to not only produce technically advanced students but also very expressive students! Musicianship is a very important skill for students to learn; so, starting from the beginning being as expressive as possible will help in understanding how to be expressive! Read More

For beginning students I generally use the Suzuki books and have had some training in the method. I don't use a strict Suzuki method but combine it with a more traditional approach by including note reading, scales, etc. I also use the Faber books in conjunction with the Suzuki for piano. For adults I generally give them the option of choosing the music they would like to learn and then try to incorporate some of the technical elements by using scales and Hanon exercises. Read More

I am a Taiwanese American violinist and I grew up in Boston. I started playing piano when I was 5 and then the violin at age 8. I enjoys teaching students of all ages and encourages early beginners!
