I believe music is a universal language that every person can learn. Music has always been my passion, and being able to teach and pass along the knowledge of such an emotional force, that brings people together, is a blessing in itself. The beauty of music is that no matter who or how old you are, music always has something new to teach you. I graduated from Cuyamaca College with two AA's, where I performed in the choir. Read More

I began teaching privately and working with area high school marching bands during college in 2002. After graduation, I taught public school before transitioning to another job in the music industry. I've continued to teach privately in my church studio and students homes for the past 7 and a half years. Regular practice and lesson consistency shows how fast students can progress. My biggest goal is to assure my students the excitement when playing their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
We work together to learn how to practice, and how to play, whatever music you like. I can help you find music that you enjoy, and for some students I create new arrangements of songs they like, at their level. I also have composed pieces that sometimes help the learning. I try very hard to show you how to practice. Instead of focusing on whether a mistake was made (you will know that!), I like to focus on the proper form and technique of playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
After service in the US Army Band and moving to California, I began co-leading music groups, writing out original charts, touring and playing live performances throughout California. I have played smooth jazz background at restaurants. For over 10 years, I led a duo, voice, Latin piano duo with Francisca Gorre, in the Sacramento area. I continue as a solo jazz and blues performer. I'm always a listener and learner incorporating what I hear in music to impart in lessons for students. Read More

Music is for self expression, but it is also an art. I am not a competitive musician. When we improve, I believe it's because we compete with ourselves, and improve on our own terms. At the same time, if you are competing for a concert chair, recital etc., we'll set solid goals to get you to where you need to be. No matter your skill level, I'll introduce something that you enjoy and in a style you love. Read More
Instruments: Piano
To summarize, I believe music should be something enjoyable and become a passion or hobby. I wish to connect with the student in my wonderful musical experience and hope that he or she will enjoy the journey of improvement and sharing in his or her life. I will do all in my ability to empower the student and ensure that he or she can successfully enjoy a musical background that will be a part of his or her life. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Find a time of day where you have the most energy and free time, and commit to setting aside at least 10 minutes per day to your practice. Consistency really is key! Target the trickiest sections of your music to begin with, and finish by playing through your most favorite parts. Even practicing should be fun!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child's interest in and passion for music are the biggest indicators that they are ready for lessons! Ability to focus for up to an hour at a time is important to begin, but the biggest thing that creates a productive, successful learning environment is the student's desire to be present and learn.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to pursue music throughout my life. Each one shared their own passion for music, sparking the fire within me in turn. Their impressive skills as well as their constant encouragement inspired me to improve, and gave me the desire to be a positive mentor for my students today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't remember a time when I didn't love to sing! It is a unique and exhilarating experience to have your own voice as your instrument and means of expression. There is nothing I love more than conveying a message and bringing joy to people through singing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My favorite musical accomplishment has to be winning the title of Choir of the World with my college choir at the 2015 International Eistedfodd in Wales! To share a stage with so many talented choirs from all over the world and to hear their musical offerings was a life changing opportunity. Taking the title was just the cherry on top of an incredible experience!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would likely be a counselor or therapist. I love working with people one-on-one and helping them to live in alignment with their happiest, most successful selves.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to sing is Musical Theatre! I have trained in MT longer than any other style, but it is the stories, characters, and great opportunity for emotional expression through the text and music that gives me such enjoyment.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My late grandmother (Lola, as my Filipino side calls her) was my earliest music teacher. When I was 6 years old, she sat me down and taught me everything she knew on the piano. It wasn't much, but enough to light a fire in me to keep learning and eventually go on to singing. It was my dad, who used to be the lead singer of a rock band in the 70s, who showed me all kinds of music and shared his love of self-expression through singing. He's still my favorite duet partner to this day!
