Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I like to build units or goals for each student when private teaching . It helps me and the student know what needs to be worked on. I also tend to be a visual instructor , meaning I like to use tricks to teach students different vocal technique. Although I do not mind accommodating to a students needs if their instruction is to be taught differently. I want to make lessons as fun and educational as possible and I expect student to put in their input to what they want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Acoustic Guitar
I prefer to do half-hour lessons for beginners and young musicians. After more lessons can be prepared, forty-five minute or hour long lessons are more appropriate. For trumpet students, I rely heavily on the Arban method for the essentials and then add other materials depending on the student's goals. For voice students, I begin with a vocal exercise book and a collection of songs to learn. For all my students, I encourage you to bring in your own materials to work on as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started playing bass at 11, playing in rock bands with friends. We gained a lot of experience performing in those days. I extended to guitar shortly after bass and began practicing other styles and improvising. Around age 16 I started getting into jazz and that is when I started to get serious about music. I went to salem state university and studied jazz and classical guitar as well as piano and ukulele. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Bass Guitar
I always try to guide my instruction in a fun and engaging direction to keep the student interested and motivated to get better. I am able to do this by being energetic and enthusiastic about my teaching and I feel its important to make the material matter to the student. When a student has confidence in their abilities they are able to achieve much success on their specific instrument. As I also previously mentioned, getting to know what inspires a student and knowing them on a more personal level helps develop a better student/teacher relationship and thus yields a better outcome on the instrument.

Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano since 2010. I started teaching part-time on weekends at the best music academy in Thailand called "KPN Music Academy" having more than 50 branches nationwide. After I graduated from law school in Thailand, I started teaching 2 branches of KPN and I also provided private lessons to students at home. Overall, I taught over 30 kids and among them achieved successful results from Trinity College London Piano Examination (at least pass with merits). Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet
Music has always been a passion of mine ever since I could remember. My fathers old cornet constantly taunted me, telling me to play it. Fast Forward 12 years, I went to Berklee College of Music to study Trumpet Performance. I am a consumate learner, testing my knowledge in many different disciplines of music, from composition to instruments I have never played. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start with anything at all, reading is always a good first step but anything that gets you going is fine. One idea is to take one simple melodic line and practice it until you can play it perfectly. Then see if you can get 10 perfect run-throughs in a row. Each time you make a mistake start over at 1.
Break up scales: practice steps 1 through 5 only (do-sol) forwards and backwards, then steps 5-8 forwards and backwards.
Practice in 45-minutes intervals and rest at least 15 minutes in between.
When will I start to see results?
It can differ from student to students but usually within 1-2 months you start to see skills developing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every teacher I had was an inspiration to continuing to pursue music, one in particular was central to getting me started in teaching. Their own habits with regard to practicing and learning new material are the things that guided me in developing as a musician.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I had played piano and saxophone and was very interested in guitar and drums. I decided on guitar since it can be played without accompaniment, whereas with drums you either need to play along with a recording or with other musicians.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
These are some of the method books I use in my lessons, I find they each have helpful ways of presenting material and I often use a combination of two:
Guitar:
Young Beginner Guitar Method - Philip Groeber, Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course, Progressive Guitar - Gary Turner, Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Hal Leonard Music Theory for Guitar.
Piano:
John Thompson's Teaching Little Fingers to Play, John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano Popular Songs for the Piano, Hanon - The Virtuoso Pianist (intermediate).
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
What I cover in a practice session varies widely, but I always set aside about an hour and decide where to practice and what to work on first. I usually start with reading by sight-reading something and/or reading something I've only read-through a couple times prior.
Once I've warmed-up with reading I begin on a particular thing like an arpeggio. On guitar I would practice an arpeggio, like E-minor for example, very slowly over a 1-octave range, then 2, then 3 or more, gradually practicing the position shifts needed along the way. I pay a lot of attention to my right/picking hand to execute the notes effortlessly and without building tension in the hand.
After about 45 minutes I rest, but I also may break somewhere during that time and practice something else like improvising for a few minutes before getting back to the arpeggios. This keeps you from getting sick of the same thing and possibly losing focus.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
General Music with a concentration in Composition and K-12 Music Teaching Licensure.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Rock and jazz are my favorite styles, I also play and listen to R&B, classical and some folk music.
