Instruments: Piano Oboe
If a student is not interested in classical music, then I may introduce some film music, popular songs, or jazz music in solo piano versions. I am pretty open-minded to provide options for students and allow students to pick the repertoires they are interested. For advanced students, I may assign one or two pieces from each stylistic period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, and Contemporary) to prepare them for a full recital program. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
As said above, number one in my mind is meet the student where they are. I want to find a way to be not only a teacher for a student, but a way to be a mentor. Students spend years with teachers and they can very quickly become such an important component and role model. If there's a single thing I want my students to learn, is to love music. Read More
Instruments: Voice
In my studio I treat the voice as a reflection of the soul. Each person has beautiful soul, each voice can, and should be beautiful, and strong. No matter what style of music my students are interested in the most, in the 1st place comes strong vocal technique. It opens new horizons for creativity and self expression as a musician and as an artist. Development of musical taste is also very important. Read More
Instruments: Flute Clarinet
I have been teaching flute since 2006 in my home studio. It began as being in the music intern for the beginning winds class that my high school had offered and the students who had picked flute had continued lessons with me after the class was over. In 2013, I began teaching for Olga's Piano Studio as the private flute instructor. I primarily teach classical music and tie in one or two styles of music that the student enjoys as well. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2010, I graduated from Musician's Institute with an Associate's Degree in Guitar Performance. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
To me, music has always been an emotional outlet, so while I do place a large emphasis on having the fundamental skills necessary for performance, I also really value and emphasize musicality. I want students to feel like learning the flute is accessible, and I love seeing them progress at their own pace. I also want students to have ownership of their learning process – if there are songs/skills that they'd like to learn, I'd love to work with them to figure out how they can achieve those goals.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I mix theory, ear training, and intrumental technique into each lesson. I believe it is important for a student to not only be able to play a song, but to understand, and hear it on a high level as well. I teach my students how to listen to themselves while they are playing, which is the difference between and OK musician and a great musician. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
After you release a work of music, you're not in control of how people react to it. The works that go unnoticed by the majority of my viewers can sometimes be the ones that I'm most proud of, even if to the outside opinion it seems as if they are "unsuccessful". Throughout someone's career in any particular field, there will always be ups and downs. It's important to always keep yourself grounded and true to yourself because it can be easy to lose sight early on when success doesn't come your way at first.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Varies depending on student. For beginners, I like to
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
New Divide by Linkin Park. I've never seen any vocalist perform that song with as much power as Chester Bennington had.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I were not a muscian, I would probably look towards a career in business and finance. My father has had success in this industry, so I have the advantage of learning from someone with qualified experience. The knowledge I have already gained as a musician can even be beneficial towards long term career goals such as those.
I feel fortunate enough that my skills and accomplishments as a musician have already led me to a point where I can see the bigger picture of life, but I think it's important to develop a career in an industry in which you already understand the requirements for success.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My musical roots are based in rock, blues, and jazz, but as a musician, I try not to trap myself in the shortcomings and limitations that genres inherently provide. While studying the engineering side of music in school, I developed the respect and admiration for the production of electronic and pop music, these genres of music are as influential if not more influential today than "classic rock" and in terms of physical performance, they require little to no expertise in that field in order to create music on the same level of quality that the professionals do. With the combination of all these different influences, my sensibility as a musician I feel is not only modern, but diverse as well, so it is difficult to name a favorite genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My introduction into the world of music was from the natural inclination to write music, so playing piano, guitar, bass, and eventually music production all came to
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I'm the only musician in my family that I know of.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I realized someone would pay me for the thing I was already doing for fun.
