Instruments: Piano Keyboard
In my teaching I foster a 'singing' approach to the piano. Nothing though makes my heart sing more than to witness a student meet and exceed his or her musical goals. I facilitate this by nurturing a respectful and caring rapport which eventually transmits itself through the instrument as beautiful music. This is enabled (by both parties) through much patience and hard work. I have seen discipline like this translate into better study habits and scholastic success. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
From early to advanced learning, I have had my best experiences allowing students to find their passion in playing by using simple exercises and studies with harmony, melody and rhythm. Let's define musical terms and organize what you'd like to play and study. Music naturally improves concentration and sharpens memory. . . learn to accompany other instruments or play solo. I have experience programming rhythm and sounds on work station keyboards, specifically Yamaha, Casio, Roland and others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet
Aside from attending to the normal duties of a section leader, there were several times when I would privately teach students or host sectionals at my home. I have done this for three years and it has been a major success. I love helping students develop their skills and seeing them grow. I would encourage practice at least a little bit each day and I always helped them prepare for a concert or a recital. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
I have taught private students, music classes, small groups, and large classes. I teach people for their own enjoyment, or I can teach competitive students as well. I enjoy making house calss or teaching in my own studio. I have found that making a good plan and goals are very helpful to learning, and also making it clear what can be expected and how to practice. I try to make sure that we always find music that is enjoyable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I usually beginwith warm-ups, scales, music theory, then continue with reviewing past homework, focusing on posture, rhythm, technique, etc. Lastly, we will sightread and preview the next pieces to be assigned for homework. Pace is set mostly by the student and how much they practice, but I will always nudge the student to improve in musicianship and posture after every lesson, with patience and perseverance. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have experience giving In Home Private Voice and Piano Lessons. I have worked in various schools for Piscataway Board of Education as a Pre-K Music Teacher, Music Camp Councilor, Enrichment Music and Keyboard teacher, Group Toddler music teacher, and a Teachers Aid. At Branchburg School of Music I was a private voice and piano teacher age toddler to adult. I taught group Pre-K music classes there weekly. I was also the administrator handling scheduling and booking. 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!
