I am very passionate about music, especially the trombone. Music transcends differences of origin, culture, and language. It is truly an international language. Playing the trombone can give students the opportunity to express themselves and participate in a musical world that has no limits. I have performed and taught music in many different countries and in many different cultures. This has enriched my capacity and ability to teach others. I even love to practice! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I would ask my students to find any patterns in the pieces and any differences between the same or similar passages. I often ask students to tell me what they can find throughout the pieces based on the knowledge they have and what they have acquired through the lessons. I ask them to listen while playing and train them to listen. When they make mistakes, they likely do notice the weirdness about them by listening the sound. Read More

No matter the age of the student, I am a firm believer in the practice of fundamentals. I incorporate these by creating my own exercises for students according to their needs, and then applying these concepts to etudes and solo repertoire. While my main goal is to help improve the student's flute and musicianship skills, I also aim to nurture a life-long love of music. Classical music isn't for everyone, and I often play duets, soundtrack music, and broadway music with my students. Read More
