Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My objectivities as a teacher come from the strong statement, "a teacher's purpose is to help students to find their own vision and image". In my teaching, I always start from the question "why?" Why does a student want to learn music? Helping students understand his or her own reason will become the spiritual nourishment that will prepare them as independent human beings and artists. My experience has taught me that deeply understanding self-motivation drive students beyond their comfort zone and cultivate self-identification. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
As a first step, I will focus on students to get good fundamental skills as much as we can. It is alway important for all of students to bring next level. So, I will use some etudes and scale books published in the lesson, and teach some my original practice methods. I usually suggest the repertoire students should learn but I am always flexible to teach what students want to learn so that students do not feel being forced to learn music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My lessons revolve around 3 Ps: Passion, Practice, Patience PASSION for music drives piano learning. Not all students start with great passion but will gradually develop this after a series of positive and fun learning experiences. This was evident in my students as their faces lighted up with satisfied smiles once they managed to play their favorite fun pieces. Music, as a universal language, connects individuals through their own feelings about the music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Euphonium Tuba Mallet Percussion
In 2010, I graduated from VanderCook College of Music with a Bachelor's in Music Education. I have played in a variety of instrumental ensembles on different instruments, from euphonium, trombone, marimba and drum-set to name a few. I am motivated to helping people accomplish their goal of learning their instrument. I teach music for Chicago Public Schools and have started a music program at my school teaching, marching band, guitar, choir, drum-line and orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching when I was in middle school when I got the opportunity to assistant direct theater workshops in my town. I was hooked and for my Girl Scout Gold Award in high school, I ran a theater company for children of social service recipients. In college, I tutored struggling music theory and piano students and felt it was the perfect way to use my enthusiasm for music in a positive way beyond teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Harp
I strive to tailor instruction to meet the needs of the individual student. For students who are at a beginning level, I often start with a reliable methods book (i.e. Piano Adventures) to lay a foundation. From there, I like to explore a range of supplementary materials that can help students work toward their personal goals and interests, such as modern/ other genres of music, composition material, technique-specific exercises, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
My methods are executed with one core value in mind: create a life long learner and lover of music. This means I establish the fundamentals of theory with beginning students and reinforce them with intermediate students. Before an instrument is played, the concepts of rhythm, note value, and scales must be approached in an engaging way. With collaboration over curriculum, I would work with the student to find his/her interests and inspiration, making the journey worthwhile and fun! Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practicing can be accomplished by being consistent. By simple practicing everyday things fall into place before we notice. Even if you practice 15 mins a day you're working things out. Just like with exercising playing an instrument is very similar. Golfers go to the driving range to practice their swing. The more they do it the more things fall into place and the swing gets more consistent and more accurate. A musician practices wide range of things in order to reach a high level of command on their instrument. The more you stay consistent with something, even if its short periods of time daily, cumulatively we continue to grow and become better!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My personal belief is a student is ready to learn music and start lessons as soon as they want. I started playing trumpet at the age of 6. My brother was a huge influence and showed me how to play. Once I started I couldn't put it down. If your child is curious at all about playing and instrument or singing or doing anything musical, get them started in lessons right away. It gives them positive 1 on 1 instruction to help them understand the process of learning and instrument and can easily progress faster with 1 on 1 instruction.
When will I start to see results?
The musical process is always in progress. It never stops. I've been playing for over 18 years now and I'm still learning. Results depend on consistent practicing as I mentioned before. My over all observation on results are they vary. Some results you'll see right away and others may take significant time to notice. It's always best to keep in mind there are "levels" of results. Concepts you practice may be really hard and only see a small result of your effort. That's OK! You're still getting a positive result. No matter how small or how big... any positive result equals progress.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my private teachers inspired me to continue with music. They gave me all the tools necessary to practice effectively, understand the level of playing I needed to get to in order to work as a professional. One specific teaching I spent over 6 years with worked very hard with me and worked through thousands of practice material and benefited greatly by practicing EVERYTHING. If it wasn't for his background and great teaching structure, I would not be where I am today in my own ability to teach and play.
