Instruments: Piano
For beginning students I typically start with Bastien piano books which have 4 different levels. Once they finish 4 levels, I will begin to introduce classical songs, Hymn, Jazz, Game music, Pop and also teach them free styles with chord progressions. Also, my students can learn any songs they want to play since I am able to remake songs based on their level. For adults, I focus on teaching the sight-reading skill with the right technic and theory and also my adult students can learn any genre of music with me. Read More

I have taught music for over 20 years; it is a profession that I love passionately. My students include adult beginners, students ages 7-17, and intermediate and advanced students of all ages. I am drawn to the possibilities teaching presents to discover music together with another person. Each musical soul is unique and that means the teaching process if full of discoveries and wonder at every lesson. While many of my students take piano for personal enjoyment, I am also an experienced college teacher. Read More

It's most rewarding when my student's display those "ah ha!" moments during lessons. It shows me that they not only understand the material, but that they care about what it is they are learning by striving to improve. I also believe it's important for them to feel that what they are participating in is a worthwhile activity that is not only fun but rewarding to explore. Also making sure they recognize the importance of practice by pointing out how their improvements are the result of their hard work. Read More

Hi! I have been playing music for almost 20 years and am excited to share my knowledge and love of many kinds of music. I started playing in fourth grade, going on to play first chair in high school concert and jazz bands and regional bands. Throughout that time, I learned guitar, keyboard, and bass guitar. I went on to go to the Frost School of Music at University of Miami, and graduated in 2014. Read More

I was truly fortunate to have already been equipped with a solid foundation of skills and knowledge when this epiphany ultimately propelled me to a life dedicated to music. Thanks to my parents and teachers foresight, tenacity, and years of patient guidance, I was ready to continue, finally in my own determination, my musical quest in the United States. Having realized my dream, I am passionate about helping my students fulfill their desires and make music a source of their joy and pleasure. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Flute Clarinet Double Bass
Music has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing the piano when I was 7 and from there my love for music grew. Since then I have picked up many other instruments including but not limited to, the trumpet, stand-up bass, bass guitar, french horn, flute, and clarinet. I have played with many different bands in the DC, VA, MD area with genres varying between classical, jazz, latin, ska, and funk. Read More

I combine patience with an upbeat demeanor to provide entertaining and informative lessons for students. I want my students to improve and I understand that in order to improve I need to motivate my students. Kids see results working with me and that is why they enjoy the lessons. Soon they find themselves wanting to practice on their own time and really love the experience seeing themselves grow as a musician. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My own father handed me a guitar when I was 8 years old and taught me my first chords -- this set me up for a lifetime of passionate musicianship and music study. I appreciated the fact that my father never pushed me, but only taught me what I wanted and needed to learn at the time. I have taken this principle with me into my own instruction style, where I guide the student based on their own personal interests and passions, never trying to force anything that they don't honestly care about.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the hundreds of compositions I've written, many of which haven't been recorded, many of which have -- when listening to them, I realize how important my childhood musical instruction was to my future as a player -- all of the chord voicings and musical styles I learned have come into play as I've traveled along this journey as a composer and performer. It makes me proud to know that I've shaped so many experiences with my abilities!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose guitar as my primary instrument because it feels very intimate to me, the way I can hold it in my lap and in my arms, and I can feel it resonating on my tummy as the strings buzz while I play -- it's a very deep connection! Also, it's easy to travel with, I can usually take a guitar anywhere, which is great because I never know when there's going to be an opportunity for me to play!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows any interest in music, a particular musical instrument, or explicitly states that they want to learn, it is time for them to start! It's easy for a child to pick up an instrument, as their brains are still in a period of extraordinary expansion and development -- learning an instrument will help them not only become musicians, but will also teach them the essential virtues of patience, practice, and commitment, setting them up for a more successful adulthood!
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on how often a student practices -- if they don't practice, you may never see results. However, if they practice for at least a half an hour every day, results can start to be seen within a week or two! This development can be extremely exciting for a new student and their loved ones, as the fruit of their labor will show in amazing and inspiring ways, which will make them want to continue to learn and grow!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To practice effectively, I believe musicians must set a daily practice schedule, whether it is 30 minutes or 4 hours -- this daily commitment will greatly improve results, growth and fluency on our instrument. I also believe practice must involve rudiments (practicing chord structures, scales, etc.), but also must be balanced a period of "freestyle" playing, where we allow our imaginations to guide us freely; this deepens our intimacy with the instrument and develops our own personal style!
