When I were young, my father was a my great teacher, always encouraging and instilling in me the value of music as a spiritual value. That helps me develop both mentally and physically, so I also wish to impart my knowledge to students. Teaching music is an art of communication in which I hope to convey excitement and complete each task well. On stage, I evaluate each student individually and most of them try to perform well and after performing they always look towards me as if proud of having complete their duty with a happy smile.

For beginner piano students I use Alfred's books, which has different beginner levels for different ages. At first I perform my first lesson, where I decide which beginner book will much with the student, then I recommend an appropriate book for them. I also don't mind at all another company of books if they prefer so. For beginner violin students I recommend String builder or Essential elements books. They both are good skill building books.

I began teaching music in 2006 while still in college, and I have worked at a variety of different music schools and teaching companies, most notably at the University of Southern California. I taught and maintained a small voice studio of my own in New York City for four years before the pandemic forced me back to the west coast to care for my family. I typically work with a wide variety of students with different ages and backgrounds, and I pride myself on offering a holistic and trauma informed approach to the study of voice and singing.

Instruments: Piano
For young beginners, I like to use Alfreds Basic Piano Library books. The songs inside are simple, fun, and are a great introduction to piano and music theory! For older beginners and more advanced students, Ill use Piano Adventures and The Piano Bench of Classical Music. Ill also throw in a favorite theory and technique book according to students age. My lessons will consist of classical piano training theory, technique, and performance but we can apply this to any piece the student wants to learn! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I start with the basics and for young students do nursery rhymes and songs they know,this makes it more enjoyable for them. I also ask them what music they would be interested in learning and see if I can find an easy version of this. Lately,the Encanto movie has been popular and Ive been teaching younger students these songs. Many of my teen students like to learn Beethoven and other classical composers. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was 5 years old watching the ED Sullivan Show. The Jackson 5 were singing " I wat you back." My creativity was ignited with a passion I didn't understand. My grandmother walked in and saw me twitching and gyrating trying to dance and sing along. I told her I wanted to get in the TV. She laughed uncontrollably and said Oh baby you can't get in that TV" I looked in her eyes and said with a hint of defiance, ,,,I'm getting in that TV"
20 years later i I was on Soul Train in the TV....me and my grandmother laughed about me in the TV for years to come.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Mom Dad and grand parents are not as musical as I am. My kids can sing but they are creative in other ways - more fie arts,
My grand kids are another story - they inherited Nanas creative DNA - already have lead roles in Elementary school,
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That's really a hard one. I love all types of artist and genres - from Benny Goodman, Tony Bennett Mary Mary, and Sly Stone - to Lady GaGa to Kendrick Lamar and Adel
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
3rd grade i sang Ben by Michael Jackson in a playground talent show - first time i heard people clap and shout! It was amazing!
4th grade sang in school choir for Christmas. Started playing piano and writing songs.
6th grade Clarinet
8th Drums
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Music is in my heart but i have other creative endeavors. I recently wrote produced and directed a sit com pilot. My dream is to see it become a hit TV series
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I tried to be a probation officer, but it didn't work- i tried to make my fellow officers into a singing group.
I cant imagine that because i don't know anything else but creating - whether its for myself or for someone else.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I actually attended San Diego State University as a criminal justice major
I took a music theory class but got kicked out for challenging my professor about chords. 20 years later I taught a mater workshop - and took my gold and multi platinum records for show and tell.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I do something creative every day -
it's not what I do its who I am. I can play at a piano for 3 hours and loose myself, When I was writing songs in the studio we would be on lock out for 2 weeks at a time - working for 10 to 16 hours But it didn't seem like work...
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
It's really not hard if you love it. Once students become one with their creativity they love how it makes them feel practice becomes their best friend and performing is like getting gifts from Christmas.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I studies people who i admired. The Jackson 5 were my first observation singing
harmonizing and performing. I didn't know how they were doing it, i just tried to emulate what I saw and what made me feel good.

Beginners 3 days week 30 minutes
Intermediate 4 days a week 30 minutes
Advanced 5 days a week 30 minutes minimum
Professional - Daily 1 hour minimum
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
By the time your child is 3 you will notice if they have a creative skill
If you offer it to them and they say yes
or if you notice they have a skill that needs to be developed
When will I start to see results?
After 6 -10 weeks you should see progress - if the student has a regular practice
schedule, Depending on the the students desired discipline of creativity
singing, songwriting, music producing
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely! I wanted to play drums in my middle school marching band, the drama teacher said it was not a good idea, the band teacher said go for it and I became the first girl drummer on the drumline.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I felt like i could do it - Although piano was my first instrument and voice was my second, i also played clarinet and drums. I focused on voice and piano and mastered it so i could become a professional artist/ songwriter.
