The biggest joy in teaching and working with students is seeing them develop a passion and love for music. My teaching experience is very hands on and I love to model everything that I teach. It's important for my students to progress at his or her own pace and I encourage this by setting goals for my students at each lesson. Positive reinforcement goes such a long way and I love letting my students know when they are making progress or accomplish something. Read More

I have been teaching the piano for life. I started teaching when I was at conservatory as a Kawaii piano instructor. I also start performing as a pianist and singer pianist while in college. I continued to teach and perform after graduating from college. With decades of teaching experience, I have developed efficient and effective curriculums that students can learn properly and quickly. I focus on maximizing each student's capability while building a solid musical foundation so that the student can enjoy and share music for life. Read More

I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More

I'm a cellist, composer, and a passionate teacher of many instruments. I've worked with students as young as 2 and as old as 90. My students have gotten in to region, all-state, college music programs, prestigious summer festivals, and placed in national competitions. I've taught children with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.

Instruments: Piano Trombone
When learning to play an instrument, I believe it is important to start at a slow pace to make sure students comprehend all of the musical elements. To all of my students, I will treat them with kindness and honesty. Honesty is important as a teacher because my goal is to help students find where they can grow and show them ways to do so. For all of my students, I expect them to practice each day and put all of their attention to refining their art. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice makes perfect - there is no shortcut. One must practice, however, if the student can tap into the love and appreciation of the instrument and the music, the goal becomes one in which the student looks forward to and makes time in their daily life to have their time at the piano. I recommend tailoring the practice schedule to the student - remember our goal is to get the student to stick with it, especially at times where the learning curve is steeper. Setting a daily time works for some, others may be more motivated if, for example, the parent asks them to play while they are cooking dinner because they love to listen to the music. Playing for others enjoyment is usually motivating for new students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no perfect age to start the piano, however, I like to start a student at 6 years old. Around the time children start school, they are ready to pay attention for short bursts of time, they know their LH & RH, their brain is ripe for grasping and learning new concepts. That being said, I have started students in middle school and adulthood - it is never too late to learn an instrument and I love teaching beginning piano students - adults are usually motivated students! If an individual is expressing a curiosity, desire or aptitude towards learning the piano - then jump in and give it a try!
When will I start to see results?
After the first lesson! The beautiful thing about learning piano, is in 30 minutes you leave having learned something about the piano, music and theory that you didn't know when you started your lesson. Each lesson you should learn a little something new and have something new to work on to advance your ability to play the piano. As the student progresses, it may be a new note, a new time signature, a new piece of music, a new style of music, a new concept from theory, perhaps learning to transpose, or a new key signature.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Most certainly! My first piano teacher would clap her hands, dance, give me a hug, laugh and show delight as I would progress and play a song. Perhaps the song didn't sound very musical at the beginning, perhaps there were pauses and breaks in the music, perhaps there were wrong notes, but her exuberance and encouragement were vital to my confidence and desire to keep going in the early stages where the music doesn't sound too musical! An important component to achieving success at playing the piano is the commitment to stick with it until notes are learned and a student can play a few songs fluently and confidently, then they are able to "hear" their progress and have hope they will achieve their dream of being able to play the piano.
