Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have been teaching privately since undergraduate college days. In addition to private lessons on guitar and piano, I have facilitated group workshops, directed ensembles, and tutored reading comprehension in some Oakland public schools. It's a profound joy to see young children have their first musical experiences as well as to see the fire of music be rekindled in those who have put an instrument down and have decided to pick it up once again.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I learn by doing and I believe that my students should play what inspires them! If it's classical, let's study Bach and Mozart together - if it's Latin, let's study Dave Valentin and Johnny Pacheco. I have always had a broad taste in music and I think it's wonderful when students bring me songs that inspire them. Let's work the chords out together and study the greats! I believe that the engaged student will be the successful student. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I like to emphasize learning technique through pieces, rather than practicing only technique on its own, as that can get boring very quickly! For beginning students, I like to start with the Piano Adventures series, which has pieces which are easy, teach basic techniques, but also are musically interesting. Once they have the fundamentals, we can begin working on solo repertoire that interests the student. For older students who are interested in 20th century music, I like to teach Bartok's Mikrokosmos.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching private voice for three years, and feel like I truly thrive when I'm sharing my knowlege of music and performance. At Colorado State University I taught a to wide range of students and styles from freshmen voice majors, choral conducting graduate students, theater majors, voice minors, and even a couple aspiring folk/country singers! I also taught a Fundamentals of Music Theory course to over 100 non-music majors, covering reading music, piano basics, intro to harmony, the physics of music and the psychology of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Organ
I resigned at the age of 19 at the E.o.y.d.c., to continue my pursue for an accredited degree in biblical studies, where I honed my skills as a scholar, musician, and vocalist. I have traveled throughout the states with different groups, encouraging and inspiring people of all ages with my passion for music through singing and playing for different functions. I just want to be able to impart and mentor the next and upcoming generation of musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love watching my students develop their passion for music! And so, I do my utmost to challenge each student as much as possible at their own pace. We will set goals for the students in every lesson. Hitting certain milestones help the students to feel motivated, and want to push themselves more. Each student is different and so they learn differently, I do my best to learn from the student and tailor my teaching style to their particular learning style. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a practice schedule of what you want to work on. Do not waste time on replaying parts that are easy and only focus your time on the difficult parts. This will help you finish a practice session faster and efficiently.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child really wants to play flute and you see them struggling, have them start lessons as soon as possible. There may be a chance they will get frustrated and give up the flute because they dont have some one to teach them proper technique.
If your child is playing and trying to challenge themself, they may want to take lessons to excel faster in learning and learn difficult material.
When will I start to see results?
Each student learns at a different pace. Each week there will be goals and it is up to the student to practice out of lesson time in order apply techniques learned during lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school teacher inspired me to play flute. She demonstrated each instrument and when she played pink panther on the flute, I was sold.
Each instructor I had inspired me to work harder to become a better player
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The band teacher in elementary school played the Pink Panther theme and I wanted to learn how to play that piece. Eventually I practiced more and fell in love with it.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of making first chair in All State Band during high school. I practiced for hours each day and was determined to make it!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Ive had students make it in to all count honor band, all state and received superior ratings a Solo and Ensemble. They followed my advice in the pieces and worked hard to apply those techniques.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Defintely the technical skills were difficult to develop but with practice over time became easier.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Trevor Wye method books, Taffanel method and Rubanks 1 and 2. The Trevor Wye and Taffanel have challenging tone and technical development and the Rubanks books are great for beginner-intermediate studies.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start out with long tones, scales, technical warm ups and then I move on to specific parts in the pieces that are difficult for me and work on that.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style is contemporary. It introduces modern techniques such as singing and playing flute or pitch bending to the flute.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing Oboe secondary because my school needed one in the other bands the school had to offer.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
From 4th grade, flute has been my escape from reality. If I was having a bad day I would sit down with my flute and practice. It made me happy. When I got into high school is when I realized that I wanted to make it my career.
