Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I consider myself to be both traditional and old school at certain times, however. I firmly believe that students will lose interest in music quickly if I always teach all students the same techniques and follow conventional music theory. For piano lessons I usually begin without any books until they are comfortable with the weight and the feel of the piano keys. After that I really like to use the John Thompson's piano book grade 1, and I have had many good results with my students in the past. Read More

I have been playing piano for 22 years, and graduated from Taylor University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management Systems and Piano Performance. I also earned a minor in music recording technology. I love playing piano for my church's worship services, and have had an opportunity to serve as an accompianist for a wide variety of musicians.

Instruments: Piano Voice
If a teenager would like to learn how to play pop chords, I start them with an appropriate book. If an adult wants to learn pieces to sing in church, I will offer my skills as a classical singer and professional church choir section leader to teach them how to sing beautiful melodies and passionate contemporary songs. For all my students, I am always on the lookout for new method books and resources that will aid their studies. Read More

I taught piano, cello, and music theory for 10 years, both privately and in schools. I always encourage students to seek out and explore music that they enjoy and wish to master. I have taught students of all ages and can provide to each individual's needs. I've prepped students for auditions, entrance to music schools, competitions, and I've taught complete beginners. I can also teach lessons in either English or Mandarin Chinese. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
At a first lesson I try to find out what these needs snd wants are snd discuss the various ways of obtaining these goals. If their goals are not reasonable I will discuss this but I will never destroy their hopes. I once had a six year old student who after one lesson wanted her daughter to compete in this world competition. I thought to myself she couldnt never as l after one lesson and the deadline for the competition was in three months, but I did let her know with time and practice such a goal could be possible.

Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging things I have had to master have mostly been classical guitar related. Challenges have included playing the melody, inner voices and a baseline while utilizing both the right and left hand effectively, and trying to keep up with dynamics, memory of the piece and technique. Another challenge I faced in my earlier years as a musician was learning to play guitar and sing at the same time.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to play folk music with fingerstyle guitar accompaniment. I love folk music because it is humble, soulful and it tells many stories.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am very proud of the original music I have released, any recordings or projects that I have had the honor to be a part of, and I am very proud of my progress as a guitarist.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first music teacher in grade school inspired me to further my passion in music. I saw how passionate he was about teaching and playing music, and how it basically was his whole life. At a very young age, I knew that I wanted that for my life as well.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When it comes to voice, I always had a natural talent for it. I have always loved to sing, and it is a huge part of my self expression. I learned guitar to be able to accompany my singing without needing anyone else to do it for me. I have always been Miss Independent that way. Later on, I began studying classical guitar to better my technique and skill, and that too became a very important part of my life, because it taught me structure and discipline.
When will I start to see results?
Results come with practice. If the student practices at least 30 minutes to 1 hour consistently every day, they should be able to see results in their progress within the first month.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has a strong interest in music, and you see that they have come to a point where they can remain attentive for at least 30 minutes, then they are ready for a lesson.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My strongest advice is to set a realistic goal for yourself every day, and keep a practice journal. In this journal, you can log the time in which you start your practice, how long it takes you to practice each exercise or piece, and any notes about your progress and what you wish to improve on. Also, if you are practice for more than one hour, remember to take breaks, as to not burn yourself out.
