Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
For beginning students I try to start with the essentials. It is important for young children to become familiar with the instrument, the proper way to hold an instrument. The proper way to sit when playing or stand while singing. Fundamentals at the earliest ages are essential. Practicing the fundamentals leads to success which leads to a desire to learn more about the instrument. Read More

Originally being a self-taught musician, I began with piano and harmonica, then eventually branched out to guitar, bass, banjo, among several others. I have ran sound equipment from an early age as well, learning how to set rigs for full bands and how to mix and master tracks for recording purposes. I have met and played with many famous and unfamous musicians, and find that the highest amount of talent is undiscovered and uncultivated. Read More

On the first lesson, I like to help students create realistic, long-term goals for themselves. Then the student and I develop a plan to help them achieve them. Learning tools include method books, recordings of the lesson, and playing along with me. I also make solo pieces available, and encourage the student to participate in local recitals. My lessons generally follow the county public school's music curriculum and include rhythmic and melodic dictation, ear training, sightreading, theory and song form. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
The student is the most important piece of the puzzle. If the student is not happy, then practice and lessons will not be a positive interaction. My goal is to make music as fun as possible. I have done the work of teaching myself and I have the hindsight of mistakes I made along the way; slight areas of wasting time, plateaus, you name it. Therefore, I have the answers to how to avoid some of the same mistakes I made! Read More

Lessons start by gauging the student's goals. Through customized lessons we will incorporate music theory and techniques based in many genres. There will be a correlation between the skills we work on and the student's musical interests. However a weekly lesson plan (pdf can be sent each week) will help the student develop a practice routine. All ability levels will have fun during their lessons and be able to develop skills at a individual-specific pace. Read More

For students of all ages, it is important to remember that the individual is key. From the youngest beginner to the seasoned pro, everyone learns in their own individual way. Because of this, I find it very necessary to hone in on the interests, aptitude, and abilities of each of my students in order to give them the best possible instruction. A student who is engaged on their own terms and who has a say in their own path through music instruction often becomes a successful and lifelong musician. Read More

I never want to pressure or overwhelm a student with too much information or expectation, because instead of the instruction being seen as a challenge, it is interpreted as an unenjoyable command, and that discourages the student from practicing to meet their goals, instead of motivating and inspiring them. What I find works best is relating lessons to popular current music, further exploring the bridge of dynamics that make up the songs that the student enjoys. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Since I've been playing music, a lot of people have started gathering around me. They came to me when I was performing or enjoying myself. During my college days, I learned a lot about my friends because of the music, and they gave me a lot of help when they were struggling with music. I also created a career studio to help more people as I began to teach my envious friends how to play and how to play. At that time, I became a guitar instructor and I am happily teaching students.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My family is all musicians. Every family member can play from one to eight instruments, and is active everywhere. Especially guitars can play well and sing well. It is one of the happiest moments when family members play music together. Sometimes I invite people I know to open mini-concerts and give them happiness.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I did not become a musician, I would be a university professor. It is my dream to become a professor and teach students what they have and to make them better society.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like classical music very much. Classic is a high-level, deep-seated piece of music that has been trained through a long history. It is also one of the reasons why I like classical music that it is easy to master other music genres after mastering classical music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I can play harmonica in addition to guitar. Harmonica can play with guitar while hanging on the neck together. So I started playing harmonica and now I can play well. At first it was a bit difficult to learn differently from the guitar, but the harmonica was simple and could get used to it soon. Since then I've been playing harmonica with guitar accompaniment.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a special music degree. However, I do not need a separate degree because I have learned and practiced so much that I can not miss Degree. It is a lesson that emphasizes practicality rather than Degree, so we are prepared to meet the needs of students.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream is to create an ensemble of various age groups. It is my dream that I want to make an ensemble that can give an impression and joy to the audience as well as solving the conflict between the generations by playing together and widening the understanding of each other and narrowing the age gap.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My usual student practice is calm. Students are not involved when practicing. During the exercise, the important thing is to take notes and then explain them step by step. To keep students engaged in practice, they maintain a stable state of mind. If your mind is not stable, you will easily lose concentration or lose interest. In order to prevent that, we make the atmosphere as stable as possible.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The guitar can be played simply for singing accompaniment depending on the purpose, or it can be performed as a solo or ensemble at a high level. Singing accompaniment can be learned without difficulty. However, you need to learn a variety of methods to achieve a high level of performance. The hardest thing was to play notes on the beat.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The guitar lesson I teach is Step by Step. It starts out very easy at first and gradually goes up to a higher level. Since I have studied not only music but also various fields, I look at the students' psychology and develop them accordingly. I use the materials I have created to learn the code. It is not only for general music but also for other guitars, so you can learn it easily because it starts with the code that can easily be caught by the human body and it is difficult to learn by the code. We use Hal Leonard and many other materials for classical and special performances.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have never been specifically awarded. Because my lessons are not meant to be a prize, but to make life happier, the students I have taught are happy to be performing in many places. Recently, I was fortunate to be selected as a music talent coordinator in a group of students who was recognized by my ability.
