Music Lessons in Saratoga Hills, CA

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin

Teaching is my passion. I started playing the violin at the age of 6 years old. Music gave me confidence in school and in my life. When I was in elementary school I found out that reading comprehension was difficult for me and so I had to get tutoring. I was very strong in music and that boosted my confidence in school. I have a lot of patience because of this but I also have high standards because I know what my students are capable of doing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

for VOICE Students: I usually associate singing the song with some kind of activity, usually passing a bouncy ball to the beat, or throwing it back and forth. From there, we progress to tapping the beat or the rhythm while singing. Then well combine the two: student claps the rhythm while I tap the beat, and vice versa. I want my students to be able to clearly distinguish these two elements, and to be able to feel and maintain a steady beat which will set them up with a strong foundation for playing more advanced music.

Instruments: Cello

These formative years instilled in me a deep appreciation for classical music and a commitment to excellence in performance. Currently, I am furthering my musical education at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), where I have the incredible opportunity to study under the guidance of David Garrett, a prominent member of the LA Philharmonic. This mentorship has enriched my musical skills and deepened my understanding of the cello's expressive capabilities. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning piano students, I use the method books from Faber's Piano Adventures series. If the student gets bored with one method book, I will mostly likely top it off with something else from Alfred. I stress mostly on counting proper rhythm, learning alphabets, and finger numbers for early age groups. For intermediate students, I would expect students toalreadybe able to read music aside from the rhythm challenges. I will move on from where the student last left off from his/her former piano/voice teacher. Read More

Instruments: Drums

For beginning students, I start with the Drummers Complete Vocabulary, which establishes good technique. Simultaneously, based on the students interests, I pick two styles that the student would like to begin working on. Once they've learnt a specific rudiment, I show them how to use that in everyday performance and get creative with it by applying that in beats, fills etc. If the student has a specific song or style that they want to learn, I help them break it down into simple parts so that they can understand and perfect it really easily.

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 blend elements from various styles and methods to create a personalized learning experience for each student. This approach allows flexibility and adaptation to the student's interests and goals. I will often tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each student, combining elements from different styles as necessary to facilitate learning and engagement. Read More
