Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Greetings future student! I have composed, performed, taught, and produced music for 25 years now. One way I continue to experience the joy of music is by passing along what I have learned. I am currently the Pianist for Saint Michael Catholic Church and have extensive experience in many facets of music and the challenges we face - both in performance and development of musicianship as well as understanding. I don't live vicariously through my students. Read More

He made it an enjoyable and fun experience for me and I desire to do the same for any student I get the privilege to teach. I love exploring the untapped potential in my students, celebrating with them when they understand a new concept or learn a new skill on their instrument. One of my favorite things is watching my students grow as musicians over the time I get to teach them. Read More

For piano students I highly recommend the Alfreds books for beginners. After you have some background we can work with the music of your choice, classical, jazz, pop, RnB etc. Some of my specialties include teaching people how to turn chord charts into music, how to improvise and how to use music theory to improve your understanding of music. For guitar I do not use any books as I find most guitar method books to be very old fashioned and not inviting to the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a very responsible teacher and wonderful teacher, since I could dedicate my knowledge to students to really help them make progress. Many methods are originated from my playing experiences and feelings. Therefore, based on the professional knowledge, I always tell students my real feeling to practice and play.It will help them directly get the right way very quickly! I graduated from the University of Michigan a famous music school in United States.for Master Degree in Piano Performance with Full Graduate Fellowship (it is very competitive), and I got the Full Graduate Teaching Assistant from University of Memphis for DMA degree.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, the Suzuki method is basically the most successful, however, my own personal style of learning by example and listening helps so much. The basic cord books and my own flash cards with recorded sounds seem to help so much when students practices on their own. I have found that there are so many on line visual aides where a student can watch a teacher/musician play and instruct on guitar. However, for some students, especially beginners, nothing compares with one on one instruction. Later in the student's progress, there are also really fun music books written using basic cords. These books allow beginners to play their favorite songs in learnable simple ways.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Well, a normal practice session is based on a student's needs. However, tuning up first is a must. Following this, we would go over what we worked on last to see if any progress has been made. If they have mastered to some extent the last lesson, then we go on to the next step. Constant encouragement is what I give every lesson. Learning to play can be difficult, so I show patience and have fun. The last thing we would do in a practice is to answer any questions the student would have and see what music the student listens to and is trying to play.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree. I realize that going to college to study music would be a valuable resource. However, in my many years of playing and performing, I never had a teacher who had a degree and I never played in a band with anyone who had a music degree. I do not in any way mean to belittle higher learning. I have been to college and I have a degree that I am very proud of. My years of experience in teaching and playing my instrument have and will always speak for themselves when it comes to my students and my accomplishments.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform has changed as I have grown older. When I started, I wanted to be in a big rock band and play heavy metal music. I still like to play for an audience, but I prefer blues, bluegrass, and slide guitar in front of small audiences. However playing for my grandkids is so fun and gives me so much satisfaction. My how we change as performers and musicians with age.
