Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Keyboard
I am a passionate jazz saxophonist, composer, and educator originally from Los Angeles area. In 2018, I graduated with B.A. in Saxophone Performance with an emphasis in Jazz Studies at California State University, Long Beach. I am currently attending Manhattan School of Music for a Masters degree in Jazz Composition. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to perform with CSULB's Concert Jazz Orchestra at the 2017 Elmhurst Jazz festival in Chicago, the 2016-2018 LA Jazz Institute, and even have one of my compositions performed at the 2018 JEN Conference in Dallas Texas.

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Double Bass
I believe the role of a teacher is to provide a framework or organized system of progress for his/her student. A teacher is not simply someone who orders and dictates; but someone who can stimulate their students growth in whatever their field of study is. Particularly in the case of music, a teachers number one duty is to show their student how to practice efficiently and thoroughly. They help students to progress quickly by pointing out which areas of their playing need improvement and what to focus on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style focuses on what most interests the student and draws them to the particular instrument. We explore different song styles and different exercises that speak to each individual student. I also believe in regularly providing constructive criticism and encouragement for each student's accomplishments. The more you inspire your student, the more driven they become. I encourage students to pick their favorites styles and songs to work on and we then take it from there and provide inspiration and a bit of fun! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Accordion
It's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Sometime I would bring my soprano or tenor saxophone with me and create music with a student by trying to show him how music works. Read More

My methods of teaching have been refined over the years and I've found it that methods of teaching have to be tailored to each student. For every lesson I develop a lesson plan that organizes the lesson so there is no time wasted. As I get to know the student more, I develop a lesson plan specific to the student and work on the things that need work but as well as to keep the student motivated by performing and memorizing.

Instruments: Piano Violin Electric Violin
I am a passionate teacher who loves working music students of all ages! I recently graduated from the Mannes School of Music in New York City with a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance, studying with Rebecca Fischer. I grew up in Northern Virginia and started the violin and piano when I was 3 years old. Since moving to New York, I have had the privilege to perform at Carnegie Hall with the Grammy Award Winning New York Youth Symphony, and Lincoln Center with the Mannes Orchestra, holding Concertmaster positions with both ensembles.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is any piece that I helped create, either through commissioning a composer, or through collaboration. I love to make music with my friends, colleagues, students, and fellow musicians. One of the greatest things about music is that is transcends language, boundaries, borders, and walls. When you create music as a group, there is a collective feeling of joy and as a result, music is born into the world: as a soloist performing music someone wrote for me, a brass quintet collaborating with amazing players, or with a huge orchestra, bringing a mass of sound to life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musican, I would be an animator. I love cartoons. When I was growing up, my father worked as an art dealer for Disney, Warner Brothers, and Universal. I was surrounded by art and grew up drawing. I initially wanted to pursue a career as an animator before I discovered music. I have a very artistic mind, so I have always been drawn to the act of creation and art. One of my hopes for the future is to animate as a hobby and get good enough to bring animation to the music I create and record.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is funk/R&B. Much of my training in jazz and theory comes into play in this style. Creative chords progressions meet overwhelmingly groovy rhythms. Many professional musicians who play funk and R&B are incredible technicians on their instruments and can play any style they want. They choose funk or R&B for the creative freedom that the music brings through collective improvisation. Each voice is important in this style, but each part meshes together to make something fun.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As stated previously, my first instrument was French horn. I began playing in private lessons in the 3rd grade, a year before band was offered in elementary school. As a result, when I joined the 4th grade band, I was well ahead of the class and found myself bored and yearning for a challenge. I picked up the trumpet, thinking that learning a new instrument would bring my this challenge. Little did I know, it would spark an appetite to create every unique sound that instruments have to offer. I added trombone, electric bass, guitar, tuba, piano, saxophone, flute, clarinet, euphonium, ukulele, and others soon after.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
This is an interesting question. In my family, music skipped a generation. My maternal grandmother was a piano player and loved to play tango and popular music from her time. My mother and father both never played an instrument, even still. My three siblings and I all play at least one instrument, my sisters mainly being singers, and my brother being a saxophone and piano player who learned guitar later on. Though none of them pursued music like I did, they were all involved in ensembles in college and still hold that lifelong love of music that comes from playing and practicing.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician sometime in middle school. I just found that music was something I was very good at, to the point where I felt my mind was meant for it. I was never great with math or language, never very good at sports. I just could not see myself as a businessman, doctor, or lawyer, at that age. When I found a talent and love of music, I decided that's what I wanted to spend my life doing. Teaching music became a passion once I was in high school working for a private lesson studio.
