Instruments: Piano Keyboard

For every student, when my first meet them, I will tell them every piece had their own story, different people had their diverse background and different understanding of the same piece. For children, I typically start with basic technology, scales, arpeggio although was boring, I will add some elements to let them being active. On the other hand, I typically start with John Thompson's Easiest piano course, to make my student know about every note, every chord, they had a life, they had their personality. Read More

I'm a dedicated and seasoned music professional with over a decade of road experience performing all over the US and Canada, and two decades of teaching experience.

I can teach many instruments that I have taught myself how to play well and efficiently. I play in many bands and I am always learning new styles of music. My best instruments are Piano, Bass, Drums, Ukulele, Guitar, Percussion, Harmonica, Recorder, Tin Whistle, Mandolin and also Trumpet. My secondary instruments are everything else. I can fool around on Violin, Cello, Banjo and Trombone as an amateur. I could blow into a Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, French Horn and probably anything else I can get my hands on, but I would not feel comfortable teaching them yet because I don't have enough time in the world to learn them and figure out how to play them myself and get as good as I can on those instruments.

Instruments: Drums

I do not limit my students to a predetermined method. I find, through my own experiences, that this is tedious as well as boring.

With every student I start with the basics of technique. Read More

A lack of focus often hints at a creative bent, so I may listen a bit more than with a student naturally prone to taking directions. Read More
