Instruments: Piano
I began teaching piano in high school, and my passion for teaching only grow further through my college career. With six years of teaching experience, I have had the pleasure of instructing students of all ages, from excited and energized four year old children, to wonderful adults in retirement looking to discover the joy of playing piano. I have experience teaching a mixture of musical genres, from classical, to jazz, to modern music such as pop. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am passionate about helping others find their passion especially in music. I love teaching people how to make cool sounds with their voices. What I run into a lot is that a long time ago someone told My student that they could not sing and it's funny how people carry that with them throughout their lives so my job is to change that perception. It's not always easy. I tried to give my students clear expectations of what I want and try to make them feel comfortable by using humor and getting them to relax and not be afraid to make an ugly sound Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been teaching music lessons since 1989 as soon as I graduate high school. My deep love and understanding of music helps inspire and empower students to expand their musical voice. My teaching methods depend on the age and ability of the student. From younger students and beginners to older or more advanced students. For violin, I use my own tailored curriculum. I teaches basic scales, essential techniques to all levels, and various pieces of music depending on the studentxe2x80x99s needs. Read More

As far as books go, I prefer the Hal Leonard method, especially for beginner musicians. I combine visual, audio and kinesthetic learning methods to tailor to anyone's needs. After the basics are taught or they're already learned, I assess the student's level and teach the student what they wish to learn to the best of my ability. Read More

I am all about the individualized approach! Whether the student is looking at their instrument for the very first time or they are a seasoned veteran performer looking to freshen their approach or hone one specific side of their craft, I'm here and thrilled to help. Everyone learns differently; I recognize some kids and adults alike find the idea of staring into a book and practicing rudiments or études for hours a day either intimidating, boring, or both.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would be back in the advertising agency business.
It allow me to write jingles, create videos that combine audio, music and video to make a more dynamic communication piece that is more memorable. Now, I would like to do more Pro bono projects for needy charities. It is important for us all to participate in our community. What better way that through music, especially from my students. I am fortunate to enjoy playing several instruments, some not as well as others, but music is about how you pass along emotion, not just notes,
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would be a concert of self written songs that communicate emotion to the audience, enjoyment of the musicality, harmonies and syncopated sounds that together make a very enjoyable time for the audience. I have to tell you it is really fun to play in front of people. Like anything, it takes a little time and effort to learn anything. If it is fun along the way, you will never stop doing it.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The Suzuki method of teaching is closest to my style of teaching. Let's play. I'll show how to participate musically, sometimes very simple, but we are playing. And enjoying play. After all, playing is called that for a reason, and that's play. Some people like note playing, others syncopated chording. I like group teaching as it allows the student to learn to play with others, to keep time, to be on time, and a few mistakes don't matter. 'Group play shows that mistakes in a group are barely noticed and not the end of the world.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to evaluate the persons weekly practice after a fun warm up. Then talk what the student has enjoyed from listening to the radio or other means.
Together we might listen to the song as a candidate for a future song to learn. If the song is in the students ability range, we might find what the student is willing to do to learn a part of the song, however easy.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I was fortunate to have an early learning in piano, which gave me an excellent basis for music in any form. Whether I was writing an advertising jingle, reading the music from my church hymnal, or playing in a band with friends for fun, or professional for money. Music is more than a hobby. It is part of my life. I was apprehensive about singing at first, now I enjoy singing, and am not afraid to sing out loud, or in front of people. I believe anyone needs a basic understanding of music, but the rest does not have to be hard,
