Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred's Prep Course Level A which provides strong basic skills in all relevant areas; such as, note reading, rhythm, piano theory etc. I normally advice students to follow Alfred's recommended steps until they reach Level 2. Then, in preparation for basic and more advanced classical pieces, I will introduce students with fingers practice "Hanon" and other fun yet effective program. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I've started teaching way back before I got into Berklee College of Music, when I was already teaching my younger brother who was 4-5 at that time. Then when I started teaching was about 4 years ago. I never realized how much both the teacher and the student could learn at the same time, not only I learnt how to teach people better, but I also kind of learnt music in different ways by teaching it in different ways to different students.

Every student is different and has their own taste in music. I hope to help every student find the same joy in playing music as they do in their listening. This requires two important aspects: development of technique/facility on one's instrument, and a sense of acheiving one's personal musical goals. I try to give every student basic exercises to work on to develop facility on their given instrument, but I tailor those exercises towards music that the student has expressed interest in learning.

Instruments: Piano
My goal of teaching is to develop students so they can proceed to a professional study in music and enjoy the music for the rest of life. It is important that students should be trained in a professional way no matter what their career is going to be. I will not force any student to do anything, however, he or she will be strongly encouraged to practice as instructed. The lessons for young kids are always relaxing, and I will plan to put more or less content depending on their mood. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Encouragement is key to my teaching style. Praising a students accomplishments motivates them to higher goals. Each student has different needs. What is good for one is not good for another. I have to be flexible in my teaching. Some students love classical music others love new age. I am willing to try new music, and try to listen to the students. If one loves a piece, one will practice it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
I began my musical journey since before grade school, learning piano and other percussive instruments. I immediately took a strong liking towards music and followed it through all my years in school, learning brass instruments and refining my practices along the way. in 2018, I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Performance. Along with over 4 years of teaching, I've had the experience of touring and performing in various venues around the country and across multiple genres, such as performing with orchestras in Boston Symphony Hall, as well as performing with popular reggae artists in Los Angeles venues.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather was a rag-time and blues pianist, completely self-taught and played everything by ear. He died when I was very young, and I never really heard him play, but one day I just started playing songs by ear and started teaching myself the piano year by year, and the rest is history! I really started learning the jazz language seriously in high school, and then started to master it in college!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director of 2 years, before retirement, Mr. Massey, has been one of the best teachers I have ever known. He was the first teacher to truly push me, to get me out of my comfort zone, and to reach my potential the way nobody else saw yet. He was very tough on me, and sometimes I didn't see why, but it made me the musician I am today and inspired many of the methods I use as a teacher and a player that I still use today.
When will I start to see results?
Sometimes results will be hard to see, but I like to see results as becoming more comfortable with the material and challenges that a student is faced with. I strongly encourage my students to record themselves practicing, at jam sessions, listening to concerts, etc. Listening back to these will help students realize how far they have come, and how progression does occur even when it doesn't feel like it. In my vocal tech class at UMass, my teacher assigned us a task called 'video reviews' where we commented on our own singing from videos she recorded in class. Listening to these, I couldn't even believe some of the improvements and accomplishments I had made from earlier in the ear, and would not have realized if it weren't for those videos or that assignment. Progress and results are interesting aspects of music, and they are sometimes invisible, but I promise they always come, whether in small or massive forms!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with intent! Instead of practicing what you know or what you're already good at, spend more time completely focused on playing those 2-3 bars that you don't know in a piece. Sometimes all you need in a practice session is to master 1 very difficult passage. Sometimes it's learning a whole piece in an hour or two. Create a plan with your teacher, or even by yourself, where you can make progress by a system, and remember that small victories are big victories! Trust me, they add up over time!
