Instruction is open to everyone with a love for music and a desire to learn, regardless of age or previous musical experience. I teach fingerstyle playing on nylon and steel-string acoustic guitar. In addition, I teach beginning piano and ukulele. I don't use one specific method book. Over the years, I have developed my own method that I then tailor to each student, depending on their objectives and goals. Read More

The methods have to suit the child and vice versa. I like to began all students by really getting to know their (and their parents') ability, history, desires, needs, wants, ect. I like to base my teaching pedagogy purely around the child, the family, and their learning skills. Everybody is different and it's my job to explore all avenues that the student wants to accomplish in their musical experience. I have taken classes and studied Kodaly, Suzuki, and various other psychological approaches to education. Read More

My methods are the ones that works more for the student. For some reason some methods work better with certain people. One method can be tedious for a student and easy and fun for another. Hal Leonard's can be a good tool. I can use to many different books. Also I can write down specific exercises special for the student. Some times a student can learn faster without a book. Read More

I am a charismatic, fun, sensitive, and super-knowledgeable instructor ready to help you achieve your musical dreams!

My earliest musical training was in voice, and I have been an accompanist for many years, so I enjoy collaborating on helping vocal students express their highest potential. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I encourage a growth mindset by showing students that mistakes are an essential part of learning. Effort and progress are celebrated with genuine enthusiasm, reinforcing the idea that success is a journey, not just a destination. To make learning engaging, I incorporate humor, clever jokes, and metaphors that bring musical concepts to life. By using vivid associations and connecting music to stories and real-world experiences, I help students grasp the deeper meaning behind the notes. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved piano and my mother was classically trained. I was inspired by classical and jazz pianists and had the best education possible.
I studied voice as my mother was Met opera star and my dad was a noted country western performer.
I have studied my whole life and I'm passionate about piano and voice. I come from a long line of musicians similar to the Bach or Von Trapp family. My great great grandfather Canuto Berea is noted Spanish composer, and I have several siblings that are also in the arts.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of being a noted jazz pianist/recording artists played all over the world on cocktail lounge stations and all my honors for my albums, and books.
I'm proud of my degrees which include Fellowship and double MM and BM degrees in piano and voice. I have a heck of a lot of professional schooling to back up my credentials.
I have worked with leaders in the arts including for Broadway Theatre: Stephen Sondheim, Carol Burnett, Nel Carter, Patrick Cassidy, Ann Miller, and Carol Channing.
I have performed with symphonies all over the world. I feel blessed to get to do what I love every day of my life.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my high school students are professional musical theatre actors/actresses, on television and in movies. My pianists are all professional, and I also have several students who are noted composers/songwriters.
Those who chose to study with me tend to be intermediate-advanced level students preparing for careers in the arts or retired seniors.
My students compete in competitions, give recitals or perform at Disneyland and local musical theatre productions.
I also have 3 students working on their degrees from LCM with me.
