Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have a lifelong love of music that has taken many forms. I have had concert hall performances around the country of pieces that ranged from traditional classical, to the experimental and the avante-garde. I have created gallery installations that transformed sound as participants moved about the space, as well as other digital/performative experiments that pushed the leading edge of art. I have performed original pop and rock music, organized public musical events, and throughout it all my passion for music and sound has continued to deepen. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
I firmly believe that every student is different and therefore has their own learning style. it is very important for me to understand what their learning style is so that I can cater to that in our lessons. Through this methodology, I have found that my students have more productive lessons and grow faster as vocalists and piano players. Given that I believe every student is different, I will set goals for them based on how quickly they're able to make progress. Read More

For beggining students and especially children I will start with books such as the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has graped the fundamentals of musical theory and scales , we will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for skill set and age. For adults I simply try to find what the studenet is interested in, and guide my instruction accordinglu to keep the lessons fun and engaging, no matter their ability level! Read More

I have been teaching music since 2001. I was the music program director at Mission Hills Middle School and the guitar and conga teacher at St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Oakland. I have also been a music instructor with Star Power Music, COVA, Art and Soul Music Studios, Hayward Music Center and ALMA. I teach all levels of guitar and congas, as well as beginning piano, voice and drum set lessons. Read More

I have been teaching privately since undergraduate college days. In addition to private lessons on guitar and piano, I have facilitated group workshops, directed ensembles, and tutored reading comprehension in some Oakland public schools. It's a profound joy to see young children have their first musical experiences as well as to see the fire of music be rekindled in those who have put an instrument down and have decided to pick it up once again.

I always encourage my students to progress at their own pace and have fun while doing it. Not everyone improves and learns at different paces and I make sure to emphasize that with my students and when possible with their parents. I personally think that seeing a student reach a new goal is an important part of my job and it makes it all worth it in the end. I like to use positive reinforcement with my students to help them reach their goals. Read More

I think of two things as being central to my teaching style: Fun, and Growth. I think too many music lessons dry out the material, and suck the fun out of something that should be inherently joyful! I try to make every music lesson interesting, and keep my students engaged by giving them material that gets them hyped. Second, I think music is a great chance for people to experience the joy in Growth. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
For me, the decision to become a professional musician was a gradual one. Music has always been my passion, and as I continued to pursue it and experience the joy of performing and sharing music with others, I realized that I wanted to dedicate my life to this art form. There wasn't one defining moment but rather a series of experiences that solidified my commitment to pursuing a career in music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided to start playing additional instruments out of curiosity and a desire to expand my musical horizons. Each instrument offers unique sonic possibilities and allows me to explore different genres and collaborate with a wider range of musicians.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, music runs in my family. I have 10 siblings so it was a constant symphony growing up. It has been a significant part of our family's bond and shared experiences.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy playing and exploring various styles and genres, but if I had to choose one, it would be classical music. Its depth, complexity, and timeless beauty captivate me, and I find great joy in interpreting the works of the great composers.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would likely pursue a career as a computer programmer. During my college years, I had the opportunity to delve into coding and found it to be a stimulating and creative field. I have always enjoyed problem-solving and the logical thinking required in programming, and I could see myself finding fulfillment in the world of technology.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
One of my dream pieces to perform is the iv-Sarabande from Bach's Cello Suite No. 6. The deep and introspective character of this movement resonates with me on a profound level. It's rich harmonies and intricate melodic lines provide a platform for emotional expression and storytelling through the cello.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My primary instrument is the cello. I chose the cello because of its rich and expressive sound, and I have dedicated significant time and effort to honing my skills as a cellist.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A typical practice session involves warm-up exercises, technical drills, repertoire practice, and focused work on challenging sections. It includes a balance between technical development, musical interpretation, and creative exploration to enhance overall musicianship.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use specific teaching methods and books tailored to the needs of each student. I choose them based on their pedagogical approach, comprehensive content, and alignment with my teaching philosophy. My favorite is the Suzuki method.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Mastering technique and control is often considered the most challenging aspect. Developing a high level of technical proficiency requires precision, coordination, and consistent practice to achieve fluidity and musical expression.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Some of my proudest musical accomplishments include performing in prestigious venues, and collaborating with renowned musicians. Each achievement represents a culmination of hard work, growth, and memorable experiences.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, several of my students have won awards and achieved special honors. Their success can be attributed to their dedication, disciplined practice, and the guidance provided during their lessons. They have showcased their talent through competitions, auditions, and performances.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I had a teacher who inspired me through their passion, patience, and encouragement. They showed me the transformative power of music, believed in my potential, and nurtured my love for the art, motivating me to pursue a career in music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument based on its sound, versatility, and personal connection. The instrument resonated with me emotionally and allowed me to express myself authentically through its unique characteristics.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on various factors. Generally, consistent practice and dedication can lead to noticeable progress within a few months, but mastery takes years of focused effort.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Consistency is key. Set specific goals, break down challenging passages, and practice them slowly before gradually increasing speed. Use a metronome and focus on accuracy and quality rather than quantity.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Look for signs of interest and enthusiasm towards music, ability to follow instructions, and basic motor skills development. Consult with a music teacher who can assess their readiness through a trial lesson or evaluation.
