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

One thing I love to do is understand the kid I am teaching. Because I love to teach, it makes me happy to see my students enjoy what they learn, and that is why it is important to me to develope good teaching habits and a good sense of direction. I like my students to have fun learning, and feel comfortable growing without limiting themselves. I also try to be as organized as possible. Read More

I have been teaching music since I was 16 years old and I want to share the same experiences I had as a student.

I use patience, clear communication, and having fun to get knowledge across to my students! To me music is about connection and expression, and my goal is to get my students to feel that! I also understand that learning new things can make you vulnerable and frustrated so I try to be more relatable as opposed to an authority figure with my students. However, if I see that a student is not respecting themselves and their goals (not practicing, discouraging behavior) I will be a bit more strict in order to motivate them. Read More

I have a tremendous passion for music, and drums particularly, and I try above all to make sure that my teaching style is positive and enthusiastic. I want to try to communicate and transmit this passion as much as I possibly can. Enthusiasm can go a long way, but having specific goals and targets is also important. I encourage students to set high standards and ambitious goals for themselves, then I give them the support and encouragement they need to meet them. Read More
