Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My methods of teaching are primarily based on the individual. Within the first lesson, I make an assessment of the individuals musical abilities, and document the genres of music that interests the student. I then create a curriculum based on that assessment, which includes music theory, building repertoire (including music that interests the student), and music history/literature. I also encourage the student to engage in music competitions/auditions and student recitals. Read More

My teaching style is very flexible. If I see that a particular lesson isn't working, I will change to a lesson covering something the student is more interested in, and possibly not as intimidated. The main thing is for the student to gain confidence in what he/she is trying to learn. I also think that teaching my students to read music in standard notation is a very important aspect of my teaching. Read More

For beginning piano students, I use a combination of books from Alfred's, Faber, John Thompson's. At the same time, I emphasize proper finger technique, shape, and position. For more advanced piano students I prefer exercises from Hanon, Czerny, and Bartk. For beginning guitar students, I prefer Mel Bay books. However, for guitar students I also use a much more individual and custom approach for learning how to get a good sound out of the guitar through proper hand position, finger placement and pressure, and string picking.

Students are taught basic reading,fingering technique, and rote memorization, but are also encouraged to learn to play by ear. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I think the student should begin by playing the exercise or piece very slowly with the metronome(a time keeping device). If they have to they can practice the right and left hand fingerings separately. They should start with the metronome at the slowest speed. When they feel like they can play with the right and left hands together they should gradually speed up the metronome. It may help to "prepare" each fingering before striking the string with the metronome at a manageable speed. Read More

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The person who made me interested in music was igor who was a professor at university. It was not only guitar but also music theory, and the map was very good. The performance was also great, and the performances with all of the students made me amazed by the various state laws.
Most impressive is the fact that I have a polio disorder and that there is a limit to the performance, and he gave me courage, saying that one of the world's greatest guitar hitters has only two fingers.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of my career at a talent show when I was in college. At the time of the talent show, I was an All A student who was concentrating on studying, and my friend invited me to go to the competition. I did not expect to be in the class because of the ability of the applicants at the event. I was waiting for songs and performances in my order, and I got the honor of being ranked # 1. After that, I was invited by many school events and was happier with playing.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The reason I chose the guitar as my guitar is because of the various playing methods and the charm of the guitar. The guitar can be used not only as a simple string but also as a different semester by using the body or head of the guitar. It was not. It was also very attractive to me that I could easily carry around with various sounds.
When will I start to see results?
The guitar has many difficulties in the lesson than other instruments, but it is also the instrument that can experience the perfection in the quickest by nature. It is also possible to quickly distinguish between those who can learn as well as those who are not. When you finish your first lesson, you can anticipate the possibility.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. participate lesson regularly
2. practice at home 15 minute every day from Monday to Friday.
3. relax your body and mind
4. step by step
5. don't give up
6. imagine your future
7. don't compare
8. follow the schedule
9. take time to master
10. don't press hard string
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Just because your child has special interest in music does not mean you are ready to take lessons. Practice is completely different from what you like. It is natural to like, but concentration is important because lessons must be accompanied by their own efforts. My long experience shows that it is not desirable to start too early. If you lose concentration, your child may be motivated to dislike the instrument. The most desirable time to start is to check and get advice from a competent teacher. It is best when the teacher thinks that he can lead
