Instruments: Piano
I'm a patient and dedicated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my knowledge of piano-playing. I graduated from Columbia with a degree in Political Science in 2017 and I'm currently pursuing my Masters of Music degree under the tutelage of Richard Goode. I hope to enter a Doctorate program next year, and I'm working towards fulfilling my goals of performing around the world at a high level as well as eventually teaching piano in a university setting.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience dates long time back, when I start teaching music to my young daughter and her friends. I never stop those activities, teaching my friends, their kids and grand kids, organizing musical shows, puppet theaters and life concerts at homes, libraries, churches. Music has no borders, it is international language of hearts and souls Therefore It must be live, must be heard, must be done together. I am teaching professionally for 15 years. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I try to instill the positive qualities that come from music including the enjoyment of listening and the gain of focus and concentration when learning how to play. I will give each student material and set goals weekly at a pace that he or she is comfortable going at while still challenging the student. Teaching is something that is a passion for me because I understand how important that time can be in that persons life and I truly enjoy sharing the information. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I use different methods for different ages of students. It also depends on how and what the student wants to learn about piano, as well as their future goal which related to music. Every year around November and December, I organize a charity concert called "fusion" in Manhattan, students will be invited to perform at the beginning of the concert as our special guests. As well as working with Steinway & Sons, we will hold a student concert every year for giving students a stage to perform. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have had many students on and off over the years. I tend to focus on making music or teaching but not both as I find doing anything well involves 100% committment. For the next 4 or 5 years I am focused on teaching exclusively. My knowledge is vast and I am excited to convey this knowledge to others! Trust me you will not be disappointed! The methods I teach will not only get you progressing but self-progressing and will cover a variety of instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I create my own lesson plans based off of the individual student. For voice students, we usually warm up, do technical exercises working on varying registers and techniques, and then work on repertoire. I often find the passages in a particular song that the student is struggling with and focus in on those, finding exercises to guide the student. For instrumental students, I work on a lot of music theory and reading, for students of all levels and ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I have been teaching for over 25 years now, and my students have includedDavid Lee Roth, Edward Burns, Joie Lee, and John Leguziamo. Besides teaching music, I also teach fine arts classes in both studio painting and life drawing. I have also composed the scores and cues for many film projects over the years. Read More
Instruments: Double Bass
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was very young, my parents played recordings of musicians in different musical settings, and I was hearing the double bass without knowing what the instrument was called. I heard an orchestral performance and the booming pizzicato and warm arco textures resonated with me. Then I heard a bassist plucking in a big-band jazz setting, and the intense drive and pulse felt so danceable to me. I couldn't help but find out what the instrument was that I was hearing. I found out via a UK Eye Witness encyclopedia that that instrument was the double bass. I was so determined to touch one in person. When my father surprised me with a rental bass to pluck, I was ecstatic and that sensation stayed with me all this time. The bass is essential because it functions as the time-keeper and harmonic foundation of a group.
When will I start to see results?
You will begin to see results when the student becomes driven to reach his/her goal established. The student has to take responsibility for the sound he/she is going for, and to work it out in practice. Results happen when the student takes time out to practice diligently and frequently. When a student relates musical activity to other areas of their lives, they begin to develop a relationship with music/their instrument, and this motivates them to discover more about what they can do on their instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
-I find it's the material that I don't know how to play, that requires the most practicing. Don't spend too much time practicing the things you already know how to play. It's the speed bump, or the train-wreck sections, that need to be dissected.
-Breaking bad habits and reinforcing new positive habits is essential in the practice session.
-A 15min practice session where you get desired results or learn something new, is far better than an hour practice session in which nothing is learned and bad habits are repeated.
-Try the idea/technique you are working on, in various musical settings, and your brain begins to engrain the new information.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style/genre of music to play is jazz. Jazz is a liberating way for me to fuse musical traditions with inventive discovery. Jazz musicians 'compose' on the spot, using the sounds and ideas from within and/or around them, to create a one-time-only experience. I find myself to be most creative when I'm improvising music. In that setting I'm free to choose the musical sounds and personal expressions I want to choose at any given time. I also find that jazz is such a broad kind of music. Not only does jazz come from specific traditions, but it embraces any style of music globally, especially in our time. There's a larger palette of influences to channel into my playing.
