Instruments: Piano Trumpet
For about a year I have taught the students (from the ages of 10-50) trumpet and piano at the Oxford School of music. Ive got song with the students, but still maintained the get through the lessons. I tried my best teaching them what I know about the trumpet, even though I mostly taught the piano (with the best of my knowledge). There was one time that I remember before the pandemic occurred, on October, I gave a trumpet sectional to the Oxford Jazz band teaching them the fundamentals of the blues and identifying the melody, rhythm, and harmony (form for which to improvise on).

I have had a passion since I was 6 years old for music, I recieved B.S in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy from Central Michigan University and an Associates in Dance from University of Michigan. During which times I also performed with Flint Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Lansing Symphony Orchestra, Eastern Michigan Symphony, and the Symphony Orchestra of Leon. I have received the level of Miestre or Master in Capoiera (African Brazilian Dance Marital Art) because of this training I am a Master Djembe Player. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a piano teacher who came from a culture that does not really appreciate music. I lived there for 24 years, and I had not had the chance to pursue my dreams in music. Now that I am here having the freedom to work towards achieving my goals in music, I am studying, teaching music, expressing and sharing my love for it. I started teaching music officially in 2010, but before that I had given training courses and private lessons in some churches, and that was starting from 2005. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For very young beginning students, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures, and for older beginners, the Faber Accelerated Piano Adventures or Hal Leonard Adult Learner Series. Once the student has shown an understanding of basic theory and technique, classical repertoire will be introduced, along with level appropriate arrangements of the student's choice music. It's important that the student is taught how to practice a piece effectively to continue growing musically in between lessons, so that lessons can be used to find areas for improvement, and to learn new concepts and material.

Instruments: Piano Organ Music
I believe that every child is born with music talent. You can notice that a child can dance or response to the music you played naturally. Thats all because they are born to be a musician, therefore we should put the utmost effort into educating them. And I believe that the earlier they receive the music education, the better music foundation they will have. Therefore, I hope to create a great music learning experience and offer quality education for my young students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard
I firmly believe that students are best served when their teacher knows and cares about them. This attitude toward teaching helps me to tailor instruction to students' needs rather than following a prescriptive method. I usually begin lessons with a brief, informal conversation where we discuss the student's week and talk about things that are important to them. A strong and appropriate student-teacher relationship is the bedrock for successful goal-setting, accountability, and, of course, fun in private lessons! Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging part of becoming a great musician is to tell a story through the music you create while playing. I encourage my students to create a narrative which they want to express when playing music.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For most of my brass students, except for French Horn, I use the Rubank Method to start, then the Kopprasch 60 selected Studies which is a great method for technical and musical mastery. For my Horn Students I start with the Pottag-Hovey method and then the Kopprasch--this was the method my teacher used when I was a teenager starting out on the Horn. For my Piano students I start with the Music Tree which is a visual based method and starts with the black keys, and they are easily recognizable on the keyboard. Soon after starting--depending on the age of the student--I use in parallel the Dozen a Day series. I use a lot of my own exercises and routines with my students which I often tweak for the needs of each individual student. I also have all of my students work on performance pieces which they can use for Festival and my annual recital where each students perform a solo and also in an ensemble piece which usually arrange for the group so that each student has a part which challenging, but within their reach at their current level. All of my students play scales and arpeggios and usually can play all major and minor scales within about 2 years. Playing scales is how one "learns" their instrument!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For Piano students warm ups start with scales and arpeggios--once a student get to that level. this can be 2-10 minutes depending on the level of the student. Then work on any new scales and/or arpeggios and then any routines I have given them 3-7 minutes. This is followed by practicing the exercises from whatever method they are using, followed by the performance piece they are working on. I encourage students to practice every day. If they are short on time a short warm-up 2-5 minutes is much better than no playing at all. At least 3 day a week students should practice for 20-40 minutes.
For brass students Students should always buzz the mouthpiece for 20 - 60 seconds--or more. In the first 30 seconds of playing they should reach to both the top and bottom of their range with either scales or arpeggios. this is followed some mastered scales and arpeggios. The warm-up should be 5-10 minutes total. The rest is the same as the piano students.
