Music Lessons in Santa Fe Springs, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice

My teaching experience dates back to my days as a graduate vocal performance student at California Institute of the Arts, where I taught undergraduate and graduate instrumentalists how to use their voices. I also taught voice to actors while I was singing in an opera house in Germany. Since then, I've worked with all ages of students in private lessons and groups. I especially love to work on musicals with children and teens, and can also help prepare students for college and professional auditions. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

For beginning students, I like to teach simple and fun tunes that get them excited. I focus on single-note licks/melodies, and will gradually add open-chord progressions and songs to the curriculum. It's best to practice everyday even for 5-10 minutes, rather than every other day or few days for a longer period in my opinion. Once they start improving, I'll gradually teach more challenging songs that'll keep them engaged, but not overwhelmed. Read More

My goal as a teacher is to see my students grow not only in skill, but in their love for music. With this in mind, I make a special effort not to overwhelm my students. I know that every person has a different set of talents and strengths, so I design my curriculum to fit each students' needs. As a whole, the idea behind my teaching is to create a challenge without creating stress because at the end of the day, happy students produce great music! Read More
