Music Lessons in Koreatown, NY

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

I developed a passion for teaching when I picked up a few students in college. The experience was fulfilling, and I realized that I enjoyed imparting my love for the instrument on others. After graduating, I continued to pick up students and teach private lessons in my home studio. The most important element to learning any instrument is to cultivate a genuine curiousity. I encourage students to listen to a broad spectrum of music, and to find things they like about certain artists and musicians. Read More

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

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

While I implement many techniques and since I arrive from a holistic approach to the learning, I don't have a one size fits all mode. I enjoy learning how a student learns. Often times I will have a student do a bit of songwriting, maybe a couple lines - even though they didn't think that was an interest of theirs, but I've found that using many creative tools it allows for a student to hear THEIR own voice more clearly.

My teaching experience goes back to my undergraduate days, I began teaching private lessons 7 years ago. I have a great experience for online teaching as well, as I recently had a variety of students to teach on Zoom. Currently I am a teacher at the Long Island Conservatory and I also teach privately. In my career I was also teaching music theory and piano and I did many workshops in primary schools where I gained a lot of experience to introduce kids and inspire them to start learning an instrument.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music

It's important for me to know my students personally! I want to know what other hobbies you have and what inspires you. I can give a little "tough love" when it's required and I like to push my students to apply themselves on their instrument. I also have a growth mindset and acknowledge that everyone learns differently. I want to figure out how each of my students learn optimally. I want to make things achievable and break music down into digestible, accomplishable targets. Read More

I have a youthful and oopen minded approach to teaching. It is most important to me that the student is enthusiastic and hard working.

This is part of my motivation for moving into teaching now---the other half of it involves the wonder that is music! Playing with others brings me an inimitable kind of joy. I hope to be able to share this joy with others! I studied music composition at Bennington College, and graduated with my BA in June of 2018. I've played at the Amerikahaus in Munich, Blue Note in Manhattan, with John Zorn at the Brooklyn Conservatory, with Debbie Harry at the Hard Rock Cafe, at Webster Hall, Rockwood Music Hall, The Flea Theater, Fat Cat Billiards, The Music Hall of Williamsburg, the Flea Theater, the Williamsburg Music Center, Windjammer, and Scholes Street Studio.
