My musical background and experience started my early years. My family and I sang together, in church, in school, and in shows and special events. I began studying singing and song leading with my father at age six, piano with my mother at age seven, and guitar with my cousin at age thirteen. Through the years, my love of music—performing, learning, teaching, and sharing has never waned. My college studies focused on voice, church music, and conducting, and my graduate work emphasized choral music performance, music education, theory, and history. Read More

I typically start with making sure a student knows his instrument first. What it is, all the diffedrent parts and how they work. I will usually start by asking what the student wants to learn and get out of lessons. Since not all students are the same it is really up to them. I teach the bare bone basics, since that is the foundation. I usually start with having a student become familiar with the basics of notes, what makes them sound they way they do, and haw to make the best use of them. Read More

I began my teaching experience in 2006 as a Teaching Assistant in the USC Trojan Marching Band. It gave me the opportunity to craft a unique private lesson mentorship curriculum for all students who join the trombone section. I spent many years motivating young musicians to push their limits of musicianship and leadership. I really love to see my students get a concept, experience results and pass it on to others.

I started teaching piano in other people's homes soon after I became a student at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, CA. Since I sang mostly at church, people asked me if their children could learn more about music from someone who has worked on it for a long time. By the time I went to Fresno State, I wasn't able to teach nearly as much, and probably needed teaching, myself! Read More

Also another essential part of my method is teaching correct technique which will help students practice in more a effective and enjoyable way! Read More

I like to give my students a range of music they can choose from something that they would like to play, something that would make them want to practice because they are interested in learning It. All my students will have homework. They have till the next time I see them which is usually a weeks time period. This is important because it can’t be too much work it has to be engaging and fun but technical so that the student can improve their skills. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I am passionate about teaching music. For as long as I can remember, I love sharing the joy of music with others. I have studied piano for 15 years under private lessons and chose my concentration for my Liberal Studies BA to be music. Music is not just a passion for me, but is also part of my soul. It allows me to express myself through song instead of using words. Read More
