Instruments: Piano Cello Keyboard
I believe creativity and passion are the most important things that a teacher could help build for their students. Personally, I do not like to push my students too hard because I believe it is important to keep young kids being interested in the instrument, instead of being pushed to practice and quickly losing their patience. Practicing everyday is essential, yet I think as long as young kids practice a certain amount of time in total for one day, that would be find. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, I start off with using Faber's set of collections and five finger positions. I keep the beginners on a regime of learning five finger position songs to build confidence and the ability to grasp the fundamentals. I teach simple techniques along with their five finger position songs such as scales and arpeggio. Once they have progressed to a certain degree, I begin to introduce more variety and the ability to read further than five finger position. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
. I really desire the child to enjoy lessons. I like to build their confidence that they are achieving. I'm strict in how I teach the language of music. I don't half way teach and desire my students to be able to sight read music and understand timing. If i have a student that doesn't understand I explain in in math and they have all understood how important timing is. Students work at their pace and have some students work very fast and move quickly while others are slower. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements book, as well a basic understanding of music. Once the student has progressed to have a nice grasp of the fundamentals of music, I usually begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I also believe in the importance of listening to as many professional recordings as possible of the instrument the student is taking lessons on. Read More

I have had a love a music for as long as I can remember. My mom used to play in her community band when she was pregnant with me. In 2013, I graduated from Chapman University with a Bachelor's degree in music performance, primarily in Trumpet and Bass Guitar. While in High School, I performed in every Ensemble I possibly could, which includes Symphonic Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, if I weren't a musician, I think I would still be involved in something related to teaching and helping others learn and grow. Music has always been my passion, and teaching the violin and viola to young students like your child is incredibly fulfilling for me.
If I had to choose an alternative career path, I might have become an educator or a mentor in a different field. I enjoy sharing knowledge and inspiring others to reach their full potential, so perhaps I would have become a teacher in a different subject, a tutor, or even a counselor. Ultimately, my desire to make a positive impact on people's lives through education and guidance would have remained a driving force, even if it weren't in the realm of music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Well, I must say, as a classical violin and viola instructor, my favorite style of music to play is, unsurprisingly, classical music! There are several reasons why I have a deep appreciation for this genre.
Firstly, classical music offers a rich and diverse repertoire that spans several centuries. From the beautiful melodies of composers like Mozart and Beethoven to the complex and emotional works of Tchaikovsky and Brahms, there's a vast array of music to explore and enjoy.
Secondly, classical music provides a fantastic opportunity to develop technical skills on the violin and viola. The intricate phrasing, bowing techniques, and fingerings required in classical pieces challenge both beginners and advanced players, making it a constant journey of improvement and growth.
Moreover, classical music has a timeless quality that allows us to connect with the past and the musicians who came before us. It's a way to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of different eras, which I find quite fascinating.
Lastly, classical music allows for a deep emotional connection with the instrument and the audience. The power of classical music to convey complex emotions and tell stories through music is truly remarkable. It's a rewarding experience to share these emotions with both the players and the listeners.
So, while I enjoy various musical styles, classical music remains my favorite due to its depth, diversity, technical challenges, and the profound emotional connection it offers. And I hope to share my passion for this genre with your child as we continue our violin and viola lessons!
