Instruments: Piano
I customize lessons for each student because of different levels, goals, and tastes. For children, I usually start with a beginning method book such as Alfreds or Bastien. I introduce the fundamentals and work at the speed of the student, encouraging daily practice. I like to keep my lessons upbeat and fun so I always incorporate pieces that are recognizable to the student. If a student has a favorite tune from an artist, band, or a movie I will find them an arrangement that best suits their level. Read More

I have been insfluenced and surrounded with music since childhood. I have experience in multiple aspects of music from performance to teaching and just about everything in between. I love working with students to achieve their goals. The most rewarding feeling for me is when my student feels they've accomplished a technique or method on their respective instrument. I strive to keep lessons joyous yet keep the student motivated to practice at home. Read More

The opportunity to teach music is a gift and to be able to interact with students of all ages is a joy. I offer a variety of instruments and styles. Each student bringing a unique focus in music keeps our time together creative and engaging. I have toured all over the U.S throughout my life and I am currently in the process of recording my 12th CD. I created an International tour that helps to create awareness for missing persons.

I began teaching as a student at OSU, then started teaching shortly after moving to California. I have been fortunate to have experience teaching students both individually and in group settings. My private students have been of all ages and different levels. One commonality I have found between students in these different settings is that they all have different goals and things that motivate them. With this in mind, I try to provide lessons that meet the individual needs of the student, while also keeping them engaged. Read More
Instruments: Piano
If my students aren’t enjoying their lessons, I feel I’m not doing my job effectively! I also emphasize creativity, encouraging students to compose their own original pieces, alongside preparing for competitions and recitals. These experiences give them a sense of accomplishment and inspire them to continue learning. I am always excited to welcome new students of all ages and skill levels, tailoring my approach to meet each individual's needs and goals. Read More

I live in Atwater Village in Los Angeles with my family and look forward to working with new students. I have been teaching piano for 10+ years. I also teach music in after school programs in La Hambra and Downey districts through LAUSD. I work with students of all ages. I have a studio in Atwater Village or I travel to various neighborhoods around LA to teach in students' homes. Growing up in Canada, I performed frequently in music festivals and placed provincial piano competitions. Read More

First of all, I would ask the student if music would be his/her career or just a hobby. If it is to be his/her career, my approach would be more theoretical. But if it would be just a hobby like mine, I would encourage the student to learn by ear supplemented with a little theory to be able to learn a musical piece or song in the shortest time possible.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For techniques and learning songs, If you feel like you are stuck, slow it down. This is the advice that I have gotten from every single teacher that I had so far. SLOW IT DOWN until you feel comfortable with playing it.
Another thing is, always have a practice plan, what I always suggest to student, is to have a practice time sheet. For example, for first 1 hour, you will do rudiments, for second hour you will do sight reading practice, and for 3rd hour, your will practice on the music you are assigned or trying to learn. It is very easy to lose focus in while practicing, and having practice plan will help you to have an efficient practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every one must be ready to take my lesson as long as they have passion and love for music.
Level and age don't matter in my lesson, I will be welcoming any kind of student from any age.
In my opinion, there should not be any requirement to start taking lesson except love of music. If your child loves to listen to music, taping table with music, sing, or anything, he/she is ready to learn music. The most important thing is to have fun and motivation, as long as students have a passion towards music, they already are students.
When will I start to see results?
It definitely depends on what a student is aiming for. If he/she is seeking to learn a song, you can obviously see a result when they are able to play. In my experience, from any level of student, they will be able to learn a song that they desire within 2 weeks or a month.
If he/she is seeking to be able to play improvise, I would say it will take 2,3 years to improvise on music.
If he/she is seeking to learn every 26 American rudiment, it will take 1,2 years to learn every one of them. Hope I answered this question, but in a nutshell, it really depends on what a student wants to learn.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher that I was taking a lesson, when I got into music, for me the best teacher is musicians that you are always listening to. To be a good musician, you have to listen to a lot of music and get inspired. When I was 11, I started to listen to Guns 'N' Roses, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, so on and so forth. I got inspired by them by simply listening to their music, I always want do to play music like them, that is what made me started to learn music.
But to be specifically about a teacher that I had in the past. Dave DiCenso, is definitely the teacher I got inspired for the most. He taught me how to be an over all good drummer, how to listen to other musicians on a gig, and how to play drum set musically. These things boosted my enthusiasm towards music, and I went into music way deeper after taking him as my private teacher.
