I started assisting the music teacher at Harmony School of Innovation for one year 2017-2018 as a part of a scholarship program that I was in.

I first started teaching kids privately about 4 years ago in their home and I started off with just basic stuff like note reading and pop music but as time passed by I came up with a teaching method that I am pretty confident in. I also worked at a tutoring center teaching guitar and piano to the kids focusing on more rock styles of playing. So my students were learning music from their favorite bands and what they wanted to learn. Read More

I enjoy accommodating students with the exact type of lessons they need. For beginners I use a slow approach at first, attempting to minimize the chance of bad habits. We begin with starting with proper hold of the instruments, left hand placement, and simple pizzicato; the same would be done with guitar. After a methodical start we would launch into various selections of repertoire which all foster growth and steady challenge. Read More

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student develop the same passion for music that I have. It is very important to me that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting goals at each lesson, by a deadline, etc. Acknowledging accomplisments helps fuel a students desire to progress and makes them eager to learn more. Finding what inspires the student is the best possible way to tailor each lesson to their wants and needs. Read More

I never imagined life would hold so many surprises for me. Fifteen years ago if someone asked me what my life's dream was, I would have said I wanted to be a professional musician. However, as I grew as a musician and a person, I realized I wanted to give back much more than only a musical performance. I wanted to be a positive part of peoples' lives. During my years as an EFL instructor, I realized the joy one could experience in watching others grow and succeed. Read More

I started drum lessons at 12 years old and studied jazz and swing drumming early on.

My lessons are one on one and we both play side by side each at a drum set learning and having fun. My home studio is comfortable and provides a great atmosphere for music. Read More
