Instruments: Violin Viola
My teaching style may be very detailed, but I believe that a certain level of firmness, honesty, as well as kindness is needed to provide a successful violin learning experience. I want each student to be able to have fun while also feeling that they are improving as well. Each student progresses at their own pace and I will tailor my teaching according to each students unique learning abilities. I believe that what is most important for a student isn't winning competitions but is finding their own love and inspiration for the music they are creating. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I teach from either Faber Piano Adventure books or the Alfred's Basic Piano Library. As students progress, we branch out to pieces that interest them as well as continue to challenge their ability to play to the level they desire. I can adapt duration of lesson times for each student, depending on their age and attention level. Piano technique, theory and performance music is given to enhance their learning. Students are encouraged to branch out and discover music genres that they are drawn to. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Teaching music is one of the most rewarding experiences, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I believe that studying diverse styles of music is very important. I encourage my students to listen to all kinds of music outside of their own genre, as having different influences creates a more well rounded musician. Inspiration and motivation are huge factors when it comes to private teachers. I have been lucky enough to have studied with some of the most inspirational teachers in the world and I will do everything I can to pass on that inspiration to my students! 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.Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music!

Instruments: Piano
I cannot emphasize how much I enjoy the process of creating and reinventing activities, which requires close observation and deep understanding and familiarity of the student's personality, background, attitude and aptitude, preferences, learning style, and communication style. The activities are designed to help students to develop a sense of musicality and rhythm, build techniques, learn about all sorts of musical knowledge, and achieve internal goals like confidence building, improving consistency and practice quality.

Instruments: Saxophone
I'm a lifelong musician with a strong passion for the saxophone. I began my life in music with the clarinet, later picking up alto and tenor saxophone as well as piano. I graduated from School of the Arts High School in 2009 and brought my tenor to UCLA, where I played in every band that I could. I've been trained in classical music, jazz, Latin jazz, funk, soul, and rock. I love performing, recording, composing, and now I'm excited to teach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
Sometimes, my students will spend a couple weeks on a song, and sometimes they will spend five months on a song. It is all dependent on what they need to succeed. Practicing is a major concept that I focus on and therefore provide every student with weekly practice sheets as well as written monthly progress reports to their parents. In lessons with me, there is nothing we can't do and that is what I strive to show my students every week. 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.
