Instruments: Piano Guitar
My teaching style is laid back and fun, as well as motivating and challenging. I think it's important for each lesson to be fun because it fosters positive growth and a love for music. It is also important to me that students take their learning seriously. I expect my students to practice on their own time in order to reach their own goals. Without practice and perseverance, it is difficult to become skilled at your instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
My views on teaching or being an instructor are vast. I evaluate what stage one is at and focus on the easiest ways for a student to understand their instrument and approach the musical side of learning. Every individual is different and their understanding of rhythm, melodies, chord structure, and time signatures can vary even though the fundamental structure of music and theory is relatively the same.

Instruments: Piano
I started to teach private piano lessons since 2008, I have almost 8 years piano teaching experience. Back to my undergraduate days, I was running my home studio for 5 years in Beijing. I obtained my Master’s degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at Ball State University. As a graduate assistant during my Master degree, I taught students in one on one lesson and group piano class of various ages and levels. In my lessons, I always try to explore students talents and help them to grow their passion on music in each lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
When I think of teaching, I think of how rewarding it is to get to know each student and their families. I encourage parents to stay in the lesson (not required). There is so much to learn and see. My students each have a plan each week outlining not just WHAT to practice but HOW to practice. I often say if you practice HOW I am asking you to practice, you will learn a lot and progress.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I first started music at a young age through my local church; my first instrument being flute. I studied flute for many years before taking formal voice lessons. This led me to become a voice performance major at the Manhattan School of Music, where I sang lead roles in and outside of the school. In addition, I continued my flute studies as well as strengthen my piano skills. I've had the opportunity to perform at the Kimmel Center as soloist and chorister, Symphonic Space (NYC), as well as abroad in Italy and France. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe
As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student develop a passion for music. If my students do not leave every lesson feeling inspired, encouraged, and wanting to practice and play music, then I am not doing my job. Just as I tailor each lesson to match the individual student, expect the student to grow and develop as a musician at his/her own pace. Ultimately, music is universally accessible and I want to foster a love and appreciation for listening to music as well as performing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My goal is for my students to love music and enjoy the process of learning and growing and reaching their personal goals as a musician. Whether that's just playing for fun or preparing them for a recital or coffee shop gig or professional studio recording experience or preparing their part for the musical group that they participate in; I have helped my students with all these things. I strive to have a positive teaching style by focusing on their strengths and helping them achieve their personal goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I would like to use specific teaching methods and books I really enjoy Hal Leonard, that is the book that taught me guitar. I also strongly recommend purchasing 24 Italian Songs and Arias or 26 Italian Songs and Arias. It has a great selection of music spanning from more beginning singers to advanced singers. Also, it is beautiful music that is great for auditions!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session would start with a warm up. It is so important to warm up before singing, because if you don't warm up, you can damage your voice over time. It is like stretching before dancing! After the initial warm up, I would either assign or go over a song I had already assigned last lesson that the student has been practicing. If we are just learning the piece, I would have the student say it out loud slowly and tell me what they think the song means. We would go over any words they had trouble pronouncing or understanding, and then bring the diction to work with the music. I like to let my students sing through it once for me to hear their progress, and then for me to have them sing through it again and point out ways to make it sound even better!
For piano, I first figure out the sklil level of my student. If they are a beginner, I start with keys on the piano, some theory, and maybe simple pieces to start playing with. If they are more intermediate, I may start them on some pieces right away!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on my instrument is correct diction (in other languages especially) and fluidity of sound. It takes awhile to get the correct pronunciation of words, as well as to master IPA. Another thing that I have found difficult is the fludity of sound, which means that every tone you sing sounds the same as the next tone. It truly can be what separates a metropolitan opera star from a struggling opera singer in the field!
For piano, the hardest thing to master is the dexterity and flexibility. Reading music with more than two sharps or flats can be difficult as well. Practice truly makes perfect with piano. You can't get better at piano without practicing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of winning the NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) competition back in Colorado. I won in classical category for my age group and got 2nd place in musical theatre category. I was especially proud of this accomplishment because I worked really hard for this. I had already been preparing music for music school acceptance, so I had a lot of time to prepare for the competition. It showed me that I should be proud of how far I had come vocally!
