There is not one method that fits all students and all styles. Young children and beginners on the guitar need to slowly develop strength and control of finger movements, while still being motivated when they learn how to play along with their favorite songs. Intermediate players often need help to get into a smooth flowing groove, to lock in with a rhythm or to phrase melodies. Advanced players might consider a few hints, tricks and exercises to improve their techniques or apply music theory to a deeper understanding of a music piece.-A major component of student success is continuity which I can provide as a teacher with lesson and practice plans.

The dedication it takes to learn an instrument can help develop skills values that will benefit the student throughout life, regardless of profession. Therefore, I believe that the process of learning music is more important than any particular performance that we work toward, so I take a pragmatic approach to instruction. Of course, we look forward to recitals and concerts, because they give our rehearsals direction, but it should also be emphasized that our most rewarding musical experiences may happen in lessons or private practice.

I'm a lifelong musician and grew up playing piano with my grandparents, who are both concert pianists and taught me how to play. I have my A.A. in music from Mt. San Jacinto C.C. and have studied under a number of great professional artists. I have been in a ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin tribute band, as well as a 00's and 10's rock cover band. I've participated in a number of students bands and accompanied violinists and singers during recitals and events. Read More

I enjoy teaching students of all ages! I have taught in the public school for 35 years and have worked with over 5000 students of all ages! I enjoy creating original music in my recording studio and have written many songs. I have played guitar and sang for the Miss Washington program and performed as a solo artist as well as with other musicians. One of my favorite concerts was playing guitar for the Living Christmas Tree services at Overlake Christian Church. Read More

Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you see your pupils happily growing and accomplishing every goal they set up for themselves. Since everyone is unique and works at their own pace, I don't think it's fair to approach every student the same way. It is of paramount importance that instructors not only pay close attention to their student's progress, but also their lack of progress in whatever areas they may be struggling in. Read More

I started teaching private lessons a little before I started my bachelor's degree, with people who I knew coming to me requesting to be taught. With time, I became more and more aware of my teaching abilities, musical theory, and the responsibility that it was to take someone under your musical guidance and became more and more passionate about passing on the much or little knowledge that I have gathered along the way.

I've been teaching music, in some capacity, since I was 17 and captain of my highschool's drumline. In college I taught drumset lessons to students of all ages and in graduate school I taught a music theory course for 5 semesters as well as classical percussion to 6th - 8th graders. Getting to know my students, what they like and don't like, what they read and listen to, is one of my favorite things and I think it really helps engender a life long passion for music when a teacher takes a personal interest in the students lives.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Perfect practice makes perfect! Even if you are doing something at a slow pace, but doing it perfectly, it is much better than doing it fast and not having correct technique. You will eventually get the speed, but how you are executing the technique is what's important.
I started playing piano when I was 7, and even 15 minutes a day was effective when I first started. If you can practice more, great! But if you can't, just allow yourself 15-20 minutes a day, and you will start to see results. Always practice in a quiet and tranquil space with no distractions around. It should be your safe space that you love to be in!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they start asking about music, responding well to it, and showing and interest in it, they are ready! I remember asking my mother at age 7 if I could take piano lessons, and I'm so fortunate she was willing to let me do that because it started me on a lifelong musical journey.
If they understand an alphabet and basic reading skills, they can definitely learn music notes and a scale. I believe it will only help them in their other subjects they are learning, and will improve their attention span.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is different, so it's hard to exactly say when you will see results. You might see results immediately, and for others it might take a couple months. Your main goal should be to see a difference in yourself, not to compare to how fast or slow others are learning. Every lesson you will be learning something and will be a mini milestone for you. You should feel proud of the fact you are learning and executing new techniques. Sometimes a goal can just be to have better breath control, and if you are doing that in your scales and exercises, you will see the results!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school music teacher was also my violin teacher in 3rd grade, and then my chorus teacher in 5th grade. She taught me how to sing and find a love in expressing yourself through music. I felt that she inspired me to never be afraid with music, and it was always my first love. Without her guidance, I don't know if I would've found out that I love singing so much. She was always patient, kind and inspiring. She was always encouraging and always was excited when her students made improvements and showed an interest in music. All she asked was for a smile every day and to put in your best effort which is something that still holds true for me today.
