The method of teaching is as follows: 1) assess where the student is in music and in life, 2) ask about goals in music, 3) formulate objective to reach those goals, 4) rethink things when needed (students aren't cookies, so I can't use a cookie cutter). I do focus on things in order though. If you don't know your fundamentals, then that's where we start no matter what. After learning fundamentals, however, we can begin to pick and choose the battles and wars. Read More

Technical exercises have many wonderful uses, but only when they are precisely selected or engineered for the learning path of the particular student. As a teacher, I feel that the student's personal curiosity and love for music must always remain at the center of any curriculum or practice plan. My lessons are all based on this conviction. I see it as my obligation and privilege to help students love what they learn and to learn what they love, and to do so with patience, generosity, and goodwill. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 24years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 11years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Drums
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing perfectly makes perfect. Consistent repetition. Playing with music. Practicing the 40 international rudiments. Practicing reading drum music. Practicing coordination and independence. To be patient with yourself. Practicing slowly so that you can develop speed later on.

The teacher inspired by making it a fun and enjoyable experience and showing how happy playing a musical instrument makes you feel. By watching the teacher perform music, I was inspired.
