Instruments: Piano Organ
I'm a teacher who has experience with ages 8 to 80 (at least!). Collaborating with people at all levels of development is wonderful! Adult beginners find that they know more than they had anticipated. They will be playing familiar songs with two hands together in just a few lessons. My background includes diverse styles and genres, collaborations from church music positions and choral accompanying to teaching piano lessons and working with singers and instrumentalists. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Throughout the past 17 years I have been both a student and ambassador of music. Whether it has been explaining and showing chords or scales to another student, or describing the inner workings and wonder of a guitar solo with a friend - seeking to create and teach music will always be at the forefront of all that I do. To me, the first and most important thing for learning music is that you have to play something you enjoy and find fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I sang in both the classical and jazz choirs, and was percussion section leader in the Concert and Symphonic Bands, where I worked with Susan Hamre in organizing an annual High School Honor Band event, with guest conductor/composer Gary P. Gilroy. I also sang as a soloist with the ARC Orchestra as a winner of the 2016 Concerto/Aria Competition. At CSUN, I currently study composition with Liviu Marinescu, A.J. Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion
My teaching experience actually started when i was a senior in high school. The music teacher had ask me if i wanted to be his assistant. I taught notation to the student's. Conducted the jazz band and the choir. In small groups i would teach them music theory and correct any problems the student's had with their music. This was a very challenging experience for me. Teaching a class in music to student's my age was scary not knowing if they would pay attention. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My goal is always to encourage students through their musical journey by honing in on their strengths while also addressing areas they can improve upon. At each lesson, I make very clear goals for each student to work on for their next meeting with me. I always like to supplement their lesson material with music that speaks to the student's interest, be that something more jazzy or from a pop artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a driven and passionate instructor who loves to enrich students lives through the arts. I graduated from Royal Academy of Dance and Royal Academy of Music with a double major in Ballet and Operatic Music. I studied music personally under USC Professor Alison Amidon. I studied under Mischa Morgovsky from age 8 until 14. I have had the pleasure of performing with live orchestras in LA, New York. Beijing, and London. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents actually chose it for me. I had a lot of friends when I was young who played piano and my parents spoke with their parents and got me into piano lessons. It was my primary instrument through most of my life.
I do now consider myself more a vocalist than a pianist, and that switch started in high school, but I didn't solidify that change until my second year of college when I switched into a music major from a science major and realized that vocal performance was more of my calling than piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the tour I did in Italy. I was one of 10 performers chosen to perform at numerous concerts throughout the Marche region of Italy over 3 months. I also got to study with some former Met Opera performers while I was there.
The audition process was hard and I am still surprised to this day that I was chosen, but it was such an honor and an eye opening experience to the real world of performance. It was one of the coolest performances I have ever done and it rivals the accomplishment of getting my Master's Degree.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On piano, I think that the hardest thing to master is proper fingering and being able to match a composer's tempo. Often times practicing slower and building up to a faster tempo is necessary and that can be frustrating for a musician sometimes.
On voice, I think that the hardest thing is being able to keep consistent technique even through voice changes and developments. I think this along with vocal control in faster music is also a challenge. Making sure that the support is there without faltering.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I always use the Alfred series. I used them when I was starting, as did many of my friends who were studying piano and went on to be full time piano performers. Because of this, I stick to these books. They are easy to understand and follow a logical learning pattern that even non-musical parents can help their kids follow.
For voice, I use a combination of the English and Italian schools of vocal technique to teach. These are the most commonly accepted in the classical vocal world and can be modified for different styles of vocal music easily.
