Instruments: Piano Music
I try to build upon what the students goal is while training them to practice consciously and with a purpose not just playing the music over and over and accomplishing nothing. I try to engage the student aurally and not only from the method book alone. This method encourages to make decisions on their own without being instructed to do so. Each lesson I like the student to bring a notebook to take notes. Read More

On guitar I use the Hal Leonard method and then move into learning blues scales and pentatonic scales for soloing and then move into repertoire they are interested in. On drums, I will teach them rudiments to use when playing as well as play different drum charts to songs they enjoy. With voice, I will go through standard warm-ups and then find repertoire that the students are generally interested in whether it is classical, jazz, musical theater, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I try to find out what each student is interested in and I guide them from there. I like to encourage each students unique style. I make sure the music is appropiate for the age and level of each student. I believe in positive reinforcement with productive vocal exercises to build on their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Read More

Balance between discipline and creativity. We tend to lean towards certain musical elements at different times of our musical developments. I try to be sensitive to the unique interests of each student, and at the same time use my experience to suggest material that would nourish their particular musical interests. There are a lot of aspects in learning to play the piano and explore music. Reading , memorizing ,hearing ,performing, composing and improvising.I try to include all of the above in the lessons but again I'm sensitive to the individual interests of each student. Read More

Teaching has been my profession since before my college days, when I begun by teaching guitar lessons to classmates. Since college, it has been my primary occupation. I lead by example as a musician, and I encourage regular quality practice and cultivate an attitude of discipline and a drive to greatness. A cross-discipline in music is my primary approach to teaching, and I make a point of educating my students in how to communicate with other musicians. Read More

My name is Gregg, I like to define music as aural changes over time, a change people listen to regardless of their personal styles. The teaching of music is then a transmittal of a new language with all its nuances. It is these changes that first attracted me to music. I really started my career in music at a concert for a whole high school. I "reached the wall" and went over it, all my playing seemed effortless and still in sync with the rest of that venue.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Humming is the most effective way to warm up voice at any places before starting a regular vocalization. As I mentioned about humming earlier, the sound is the compression of the air. It is not necessary to vocalize too long before singing songs and arias. During singing songs and arias, I help the uneasy notes and phrases of music by the each student's problems and let them feel the same sensation when they resolved the problems in singing. Practicing is up to the individual's situations and I would advise them to be consistent with a break not to overuse the fragile human instruments even though who mastered the solid vocal techniques.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had a few good teachers who recognized my innate musical talent when I was very shy and insecure in my early ages and during my high school days. At first, I was very much encouraged by my very first piano teacher who believed in my hidden musical gift until junior high school and I gave up my dream to pursue a career as a concert pianist. I wanted to be a professional singer since my childhood, but I was too shy and insecure to express my feeling and dreams of becoming a singer even though I always was selected to sing a solo at school and at churches. When I had to decide to go to music college, in spite of my family's pressure for me to go to the medical school, I was persistent to take voice lessons with my very first voice teacher/opera singer for only three months which was an incredible challenge and miracle for me to be accepted to the prestigious Music College at Ewha Woman's University in Seoul, Korea. My first voice teacher predicted the speedy development of my singing techniques and a strong voice in such a short period, as a miracle to many other peers at that time. Another voice teacher in New York, after Juilliard, the late Louise Casellotti who gave me a life-long gift for solid technique how to rejuvenate my voice with her strong trust in my potentials as a true artist and as a youthful and healthy singer till the end. As a performer and voice teacher, I am so blessed to hand it down to my students what I have learned all the vocal training by these rarely perfect teachers in my life.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child's steady practicing and taking lessons regularly with enthusiasm and commitment in music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The right timing depends on your family resources. If your child has a great deal of love and desire for music to perform with joy, you may ask your child whether he/she is willing to meet a music teacher for a trial lesson first. The best way to decide if your child is ready for formal music lessons is simply to watch how he/she reacts to music and their interest level in any instruments or singing. Also, to learn about how often they will be in musical activities. If your child is too young to start lessons, let him/her play any musical toys to feel the sound of beauty gradually. if your child is obsessed with the musical toys, then hiring a private tutor to find out quickly how interested your child in music based on the reaction to practice and lesson time as well.
