Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching music in 2009 as a tutor for the local junior college teaching music theory and musicianship. I expanded to voice and guitar lessons and have been teaching for the last 12 years. I teach in my home studio, in my students homes and online. I know that consistent practice is the way for students to reach their music goals and so I make sure that each student knows what to practice and how to practice. Read More

I love to teach people of all ages and skill levels! I am a flexible guy that is able to adjust to the needs of the student, thus making my teaching style accessible to a wide range of students and individuals. My passion for music glows through our lessons and making music fun is a number one priority. The true name of the game is improving as fast as you can. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience started about 10 years ago when I was in Guitar Center looking at keyboards and someone asked me for lessons... I still have that student and many more now and have a very high retention rate and am an upbeat, positive teacher that students enjoy coming back to. The fact that I also play live gigs about 4 nights a week gives my students a chance to see me play live and get inspired, something that is really necessary to keep a student motivated for years.

I have over a decade’s combined experience teaching music to K-12 and adult students of all levels, including four years of TA’ing college-level music courses. I have worked as a private flute and piano teacher, an after-school program instructor, a summer music camp teacher, and as a substitute music theory instructor at a community music school. While at UC Davis, I was a TA for several music courses, including introductory music theory, introductory music history, and intermediate ear training. Read More

It is my joy seeing my students learn from me and become successful in their musical journey. I help my students discover and develop their skill and talent in music. I always encourage my students to go beyond their comfort zone; to show their talents in music, and to share it to the community. I also incorporate games in my teaching. I also give my students an opportunity to choose the music they want to learn and teach it to get their interest. Read More

It is important that each student progresses at their own pace with reasonable and realistic goals that they can reach. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to achieve even greater challenges. My desire is to find what motives the student and create a curriculum that will refine them based on their desire. Read More

I began my musical journey with piano lessons at the age of six. In 2003 I received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from U.C. Santa Barbara and received of Master of Arts in Teaching from National University in 2012. My pedagogical experience includes teaching piano performance in my private studio as well as at the Crowden Music Center in Berkeley and at the French American International Music Conservatory in San Francisco.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision for myself. I had surpassed my teachers and knew I wanted to continue learning and performing. I continued to study and perform for auditions and moved onto events from there, eventually becoming the pianist for my local church.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Maybe a track runner or a businesswoman. I was very interested in long distance track running and nearly majored in business in university. However I did not go through with either of those routes.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical is what I was taught and is the most pleasant to listen to casually from a pianist in my opinion. However I like all genres of music!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am a beginner at the guitar and recorder. My dad plays the guitar so that was initially the instrument I wanted to learn.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes it does! My cousin is a music prodigy who writes sheet music from auditory listening, he also writes his own music. I have 3 siblings who also play music. Two play piano and guitar, one plays the drums, and one also plays the violin and trumpet. There are usually jam sessions happening at my parent’s house!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts out with me doing some scales and fingering exercises to get my fingers warmed up. Then I practice the key for the piece I'm learning. After that I start with the section of music I'm dedicated to memorizing at that time. I usually try to play a whole section at a time, or whenever the music naturally takes a break, until I can get both hands down comfortably and start to memorize the piece. Then I move onto the next section until I've completed the song. This can take weeks or months depending on the length of the piece I am learning and the time I dedicate to learning it.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I was taught with Faber, Suzuki, and Alfred. I like Suzuki for the music but am not much of an auditory learner myself - however I do recommend all students listen to the songs they are learning so they understand how it's supposed to sound when they play. I usually stick to one of the three methods above since that is what I'm familiar with, however if a student has a particular method they are learning I am willing to work with them to continue that path if it seems good for them.
