I also prepare them for various other orchestra auditions or solo competitions. I take each student's individual needs into account and work on scale or Kreuzter etudes, and assign them solo repertoire suitable for their playing level and practice habits. For adult students, I try to find what kind of music they are interested in, and I work with them and their individual goals to learn and improve their musical skills! Read More

My teaching style is to facilitate your learning so that you will not be dependent on me for continuous improvement. I ask you to play your guitar at least for a few minutes every day. Actually, play it. You will be given exercises and assignments to do, but always remember to play. Everything you learn you can share with your friends as you begin to share your knowledge. I want you to enjoy playing the guitar. Read More

I have experience in teaching voice and drums, dating back to my last semester in college. I have been able to teach young kids the absolute privilege of singing and performing. I really encourage my students to keep practice and warm up times at the top of their priority list. Improving your voice and performance abilities starts with warming up. I also encourage them to enter as many competitions as they can, as well as auditioning for as many shows across the country as they can, so that they can be noticed and people can see what they can do!
