Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
It is 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 tolearn more. By trying to find out what imspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For young beginners, I generally will start with a beginning method book (such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements) but the book will depend on the instrument as well. For older students, I want to know what kind of music they enjoy playing or listen to, and guide them along to reach their goals--whether that be to play in a band, write and record an album, or just become a better player!

I have been teaching piano for 7 years, going on 8 years now. I work with all ages and all skill levels as well. Everyone I teach gets unique style of teaching that best suits them because not everyone learns the same way. I use a variety of lesson books depending on how far advanced they are. Having fun while learning is always my goal, especially when it comes to small children. Read More

To make the learning experience fun and engaging. I first introduce concepts; then connect to well known songs and music that allow you to understand and appreciate the vital concepts and themes being illustrated. Together we set realistic goals, learn from where we may have missed the mark, and celebrate our achievements. This allows me to tailor your lesson so that you may gain the absolute most at of each and everyone. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with all age students and sharing my love of music. I received a Bachelorxe2x80x99s degree in Music from the Hoseo University in Korea. In addition, I achieved a certificate from the Amadeus Piano Class. The Amadeus Piano Class was a program designed to focus on childrenxe2x80x99s growth and advancement in music. It showed how fun and easy it was to play the piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I see myself as a facilitator, helping students discover new elements of music and music theory and building upon those to create a greater understanding of reading and playing music both for piano and voice. Often i will model by playing a song first so that the student cannot not only hear what is sounds like but observe my technique, finger changes, dynamic ranges, tempo and so on. There are many elements to performing a piece besides just playing the correct notes! Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you play something wrong, don’t go back and play it only once wrong. You need to play it a few times correctly. If you play it once wrong and once right, when you go back and do it again, you will most likely play it wrong again. Sometimes it is helpful to practice the tricky sections first a few times before doing a run through of the whole piece.
Young students should commit to practicing 15-20 minutes at least 5 days per week. Older students should commit to practicing 30+ minutes at least 5 days per week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Violins come in many sizes and so this is a good instrument for young children to play! If your child can follow simple instructions, has good behavior, and can commit to regular practice, your child is ready for lessons. Violin and piano can be started at a very young age. The children do not need to know how to read or have any prior music experience. Students who do not yet know how to read will need a parent to help with practice sessions, but older students should be able to practice without assistance. I would suggest waiting until about age 8 to start the viola.
When will I start to see results?
This really depends on what you consider “results!” Students will learn how to play some music on their instrument in the very first lesson. Progress depends on many factors. Older students tend to progress faster than younger students. Natural ability plays a role in instrument proficiency as well. Even more than natural ability, however, is how much time and focus the students spend on their instrument during the week. I have had students with not much ability be really successful through hard work and diligence!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mom actually inspired me the most to go into music. She was (and still is) a piano teacher. Music was the norm in my childhood home. I began to have an interest in violin at age 2. My mom started teaching me piano at age 4 and then allowed me to take violin lessons at age 7. She taught me the importance of regular practice, making sure that it was done even when I would rather be doing something else. As I got into my teenage years, she provided me the opportunity to do some student teaching. I helped with group piano classes and taught some private violin lessons for a reduced rate.
