Instruments: Cello
I am funatic, a fun teacher who is fanatic about there instrument. The cello is the middle child between the bass and the violin and a lot like the middle child stereotypes I also think the cello doesn't get enough respect. The winning formula for me is respect for your teachers and respect for the instrument once I had that practice didn't feel like practice it felt like progress and I did all the way until I reached my goal of playing Carnegie Hall.

Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I believe in meeting students where they are and catering lessons to their specific learning styles. Not everyone learns everything in the exact same way. While I do teach using standard, classical repertoire more often than not, my goal as a teacher is to help my students develop a deep love and passion for music; hence, I often find it incredibly helpful to branch out into other genres! I've taught show tunes, pop, rock, and even video game music to my students. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I typically use the Applebaum String Builder method books, and supplement with solo pieces as needed. I encourage regular practice, as students who feel they are progressing and doing well tend to enjoy their instrument more. As they become more advanced, they are encouraged to start giving opinions on what they want to learn. One thing that makes my studio unique is that I don't just teach how to play an instrument, I teach my students how to practice. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
No matter which instrument I give lessons on, my overall goal and desire is that the student first, has FUN, second, sees themselves progressing on their instrument, and thirdly, get to experience the joy, satisfaction and confidence one gains in playing the songs they enjoy themselves. To see smiles appear on faces of students, and hear how excited they were the first time they played a popular song they know and love well in front of some else. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music
I have been a musician almost my whole life, starting out as a singer in a children's church choir when I was five. I started playing cello in the fourth grade through the public school system in California. I am classically trained, but I love all different styles of music. One of my strengths as a string player is improvisation. I have played with many different pop, rock, and folk bands over the years and that's the kind of music I enjoy playing the most. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard
My fellow students enjoyed having me in charge because I made sure that they did not feel inferior. I was honestly just helping them by sharing my knowledge of music. And we all saw vast improvement. Upon graduating I auditioned for the Dallas Opera, but however was not accepted due to my lack of experience. I have had experience however in helping out with some local plays, musicals, or performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
Every student has their own interest and learn with their own pace. I teach them based on what they need to learn and give them what they want to play. I pay attention to students' basic technique and postures as I believe that having a good basic foundation helps you build up your skill and will help you improve. It's important to develop a good practice habits. Always think and plan before practice, set a goal for each session. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Often it is different every day. A variety of vocal warm-ups are consistently a part of the rhythm I have developed. The song choice that I practice reflect what events might be coming up or what I still need to master.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music and Worship Leadership. I never intended to teach in public schools or really to teach at all. I wanted simply to lead worship in the Christian Church. However, then I discovered that teaching is an indispensable part of worship leadership. Then I gradually discovered that I love to teach and to help others achieve the musical excellence that has been engraved in me!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I create resources and/or find excellent free resources on the internet for students to use, resources that match the student's learning style and are FREE! Aren't you paying enough for lessons as it is?
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am only just beginning in offering private lessons now that I have graduated, but my students have been very happy so far with the instruction I have given.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I have a very hard time doing lead style guitar, such as solos and stuff. I have mastered rhythm guitar and am continuing to grow in it, but lead is far beyond what my fingers have been able to do
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Starting and leading an independent band, Levi Square, which continues on to this day! Please see the links below for more information!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar and voice are primary for me. Piano, in which I am self-taught is secondary. I also play ukulele, bass guitar, and almost any percussion except a full drum set. I can teach marching band technique as well.
When will I start to see results?
This is different for every different child, but it will usually take some time. It is worth the wait when you reach the result!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers along the way, and each inspired me in different ways. The chairman of LC's school of music inspired me to learn to lead well. My voice instructor taught me to learn better and to grow even when I think I am good enough. My theory professor taught me that when we teach we are also learning. My strings instructor encouraged me to start teaching when throughout college I never thought I could!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
How much interest are they showing in music? If the child repeatedly asks about it, they are showing that they want it!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Dedication! Do not give up!
