Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I realized my true passion was centered around teaching music when I began teaching private piano lessons in high school. By creating a highly inclusive learning environment, where students with a range of abilities and learning styles feel comfortable and confident taking risks, I enable them to perform both beautifully and technically. I believe that each person has the possibility of transforming and developing as musicians - regardless of their starting point. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
When parents can involve as our teammate, they will see the improvement. When students can play well, the backstage heroes are always the parents. For my voice students, I emphasis on breath support without pushing the voice, so student won’t feel tired easily from singing with a much more projected voice, and I also teach them vocal health. They are equally important. When voice students can sing with good breath support, they can sing any songs they like. Read More

I have taught since I was in college. I regularly taught music theory and piano to non keyboardists at the special music school. In addition I have worked with students of all backgrounds. Some want to learn how to record a song, some want to play a song they love, some just want to make great music and I help students achieve all of these goals. I have performed at Carnegie Hall and at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Read More

I began teaching guitar part-time about 6 years ago as a side job, on top of my then-main gig as a grocery store clerk. Slowly but surely, however, I added more and more students to my roster and was able to phase out the grocery store job, and today I teach guitar full time! There are three main components I look for in a student: passion, potential, and diligence. If a student has the passion for music, the potential to get better, and the diligence to put in the time and work, the sky is the limit! Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I currently work as a pianist for various Ballet companies and have studied music performance at the Juilliard School and San Francisco Conservatory of music. We will learn and explore the capabilities of the very large instrument by studying literature and repertoire that helped develop the instrument into what it is today. The more we read the more we learn! I will teach you how to read music so easily you will be able to read music at the piano for the first time. Read More

I am an experienced professional musician who performs and records regularly on multiple instruments and in many styles of music. I've composed soundtracks for national television shows and advertisements, and I am very passionate about teaching and sharing my love of music and the learning process. I have had and continue to have the great pleasure to perform, record, conduct, and cowrite with Grammy winning artists, producers, and engineers, and have had the opportunity to play at prestigious venues such as the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, and toured on five different continents.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had the pleasure of having excellent teachers during all of the stages of my development as a musician. One teacher in particular that really helped my development along was a teacher in Florida named John Yarling. He taught me from the time I was around 13 years old to when I went to college and I was already a skilled, dedicated and promising student at that point, but he provided me with the insight and tools to take my playing to a professional level by challenging me technically to new heights, exposing me to music and drummers at the avant-garde of rhythmic development that I had never heard before, and encouraging me to become an inspired musician with a strong work ethic and sense of developmental direction.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in Jazz Percussion Performance from the New England Conservatory. I chose this degree over a composition or education degree because I am absolutely a performer first and foremost, and I wanted the educational opportunities that the school had to offer to serve that purpose. I did study composition and music pedagogy in school as well, and I think these skills have also been a great asset to my overall understanding of who I am as a musician, but I got a performance degree so I could study with some of the masters of my instrument!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they show interest! Enthusiasm and curiosity for music is much more of an indicator of whether a student is ready than age. A student, no matter what age they are, will benefit from music lessons if they are showing an interest and a desire to play music.
Some key signs that they are ready to begin can be any of the following:
a. They are listening to music
b. they're messing around on whatever musical instruments they may have access to and maybe even attempting to emulate some of the things they hear
c. they ask for music lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important thing is to have fun! If practicing is feeling like a chore, than you most likely will not make the most effective use of your time. Sometimes, frequency is more important than how long you practice. If you put in 15 minutes of good concentrated work, but do that consistently on a daily basis. That is generally much more effective than practicing for an hour one day a week. I generally will help my students best organize their practice time, but it generally is also a great idea to have a list that puts a scheduled agenda to your practice sessions. Having clear, short term goals that are achievable in the near future, as well as ambitious long term goals really do wonders for determining how one could be spending their time practicing.
