Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
I usually start all of my piano students from the Alfred series. Those that are more advanced will complete the curriculum quicker.. Alfred seems to offer a more detailed instruction technique. It offers step by step instructions. The student can almost teach himself. For guitar I use the Everyday guitar method. This method introduces each string at a time. By the end of the book, you will be playing songs on each string. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Understanding the student's interest would be my priority goal. Helping students not just playing the instrument, but also loving it, so they will cherish the time with their instruments. Having fun while learning music is always my target in teaching music. Students and parents are welcome to provide the music they would love to learn. That should keep their attention in having fun. At the same time, other-focused material would be assigned, so the students will maintain a great foundation in playing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I started teaching when I was an undergrad in college. I've taught students of different ages with different personalities. I found it important for myself as a teacher to change my teaching styles according to each student. Using the vocabulary or description that the student understands and give them what they need/want is a better way for them to learn. There's no short cut to success. If you want to learn an instrument, regular practice and lessons are required. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I'm a passionate instructor who loves music and loves to share the knowledge and feelings of music. I started to learn how to play piano with my mom, a soprano singer and a piano professor in college since I was 3 years oldIn 2011, I graduated from Communication University of China in Beijing and I worked for 1 year in a Chinese Entertainment company called CN Live. I was a music editor and music event creator back than. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love to see my students develop a passion for music, but moreover to develop the great self confidence that comes from beginning to play an instrument and sing. Lessons should be enjoyable and also focus some attention to the things that will help the student achieve all that they are wanting to accomplish in the long term. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
For beginner piano students, I start from teaching out of the Piano Adventure Series, and Theory Time books. The Piano Adventure Series is great because the song arrangements have tiered piano proficiency for beginner to intermediate players. After students work in these books, other repertoire can be added to perform for holidays and recitals. For trombone students, I first make sure my students make characteristic sounds and introduce music to meet their playing level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar
I try to get to know each student a little in the introduction/first lesson. I ask about their music goals and where they would like to be in a few months to a year. We talk about their favorite styles of music and artists. I am so excited to see my students progress and learn a new chord, play a new song well, sing a more challenging song, increase their vocal range, and become excited about their new musical skills!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice to any student of guitar is to practice because any one who plays guitar or any other instrument learns - if I don't play, I don't learn. I have also learned that half an hour to 45 minute periods of time can be enough. More than that, can discourage a beginner. Also, even with my many years of experience, if I haven't played in a while, it shows. So enjoy practice, don't burn out, and don't give up!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The way I believe any child's parents can know he/she is ready to learn an instrument or anything else is interest. If a child listens intently to music, talks about music, or even pretends to play music these are the signs that the child is ready. Some children show little interest in school work, but they easily concentrate on music. Although this can be irritating to a parent, music teaches us organization and the need to listen to the teacher to understand the subject. Also age pass 6 is a good milestone. Size does matter to be able to hold and do proper fingering on a guitar. As funny as it sounds, air guitar can lead to real guitar with the right teacher.
When will I start to see results?
Results are easy to see. Step by step learning to master the basics leads to growing accomplishments. Also, parents and family need to watch as a student takes the basics and turns them into songs. Before long, they will be creating their own music. So results are based on practice interest, and encouragement. If a student has that going for himself, results can come in the first few months. Every step is a success. Remember, they couldn't do any of this before. Their ability to play needs to be celebrated by the family so that students can be proud of their learning.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I did and his name was Steve Hunter. he was a rock guitarist from my hometown of Decatur, Il. He worked at a music store in our city called Ax-In-Hand. He was the guitar instructor there. I was 10 years old and dreamed of being a big rock star. He was very understanding and patient which is what a good teacher needs to be. He left soon to become a studio musician and later played with Alice Cooper and in the recording studio with Black Sabbath. He took me through the basics of cords and reading music, but he always said to listen to music and try to recreate it. That has been my best guide since his lessons started.
