Instruments: Piano Violin
I have 20 years of teaching experience. Starting in Las Vegas I conducted private lessons at multiple private music schools where I had more than 50 students per week. In Los Angeles I continued to teach at music academies for many years. I'm an expert in listening to music and performing on an instruments immediately. So a lot of times, if my student's interrested in listening to a video and performing it on instrument by ear, I help them to do it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
The most important part of teaching for me is trying to make sure students are growing a passion for music, and that I am helping them in that way throughout the entire process. I've had teachers in my past that I felt didn't care for my interests, and were impatient with abilities, and those lessons always pushed me away from wanting to pursue music. As a private instructor, I want nothing more for my students than to see them flourish and succeed at their craft, but fun and passion always comes first in my book. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard
My teaching philosophy is pretty simple and I describe it with these three words clear, direct, and creative. I believe that when it comes to teaching a teacher must be creative, since not all students learn the same way. Also a teacher must be simple and direct in his teachings. A lot of the times teachers tend to give too much information that goes over the head of the students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I love teaching; it is my passion! But most of all, I get great satisfaction in sharing the love of music with my students. Seeing the accomplishments, achievements, an growth of my students is the thing that continues to inspire and drive me. I encourage my students to have fun and have a say in the music selection process, because I want them to feel like they too get to choose the music that they want to learn and play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Anyone can learn when they know that they're in a supportive learning environment! My students are encouraged to make mistakes, and we find out together what can help in fixing those mistakes. I acknowledge my students' progress in each lesson so that they gain the confidence to keep moving forward. In each lesson, I am focused on meeting students where they are at, and my teaching is very adaptive. I love to engage students in their learning quest asking questions that prompt their learning and understanding of music. Read More

My method is a mix of theory and practice that we apply in every lesson, I prepare my material and provide everything to you to bring back home and practice when I am not around so after every class, you will have some homework to keep advancing in your journey when I am not around. Depending on your level, we start with the basics and start scaling to more advanced topics, we start from the beginning to build up your setlist so after your first few months you should be ready to do your first show, that could be in front of your family or if you wanna prepare for a real show we work towards that as well.

Instruments: Piano Drums
My teaching style differs from student to student. With the younger students, it's all about fun. The goal is to make playing music less of a chore, and instead, have it be something they enjoy just as much as playing video games or soccer. For the adult students, and students interested in playing music professionally, I tend to give them more material at a much quick rate. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I usually use piano adventure series for basic to intermediate level.
And from intermediate level I use Alfred sonatinas, artists literatures by FJH, Hal Leonard. These are very organized books for students.
When will I start to see results?
Practice makes perfect!
If you practice 30mins to 1 hour at least 3 or 4 times a week continuously, you will achieve amazing results that will even surprise yourself.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my piano instructor advised me to read extensively across various genres, cultivate a deep interest and empathy for people, and listen to a wide array of performances, ranging from young students to virtuosos. In practice, these principles have wielded significant influence and provided substantial assistance in shaping both my performances and teaching endeavors.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chopin sonata
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love Romantic and Impression.
My favorite composer is Chopin.
I
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In any instrument, technique is highly important, but especially in the case of the piano, it demands a significant amount of practice and effort. This is due to the endless endeavor of traversing a wide range of pitches, establishing a balance between both hands to bring out the melody line, and not only achieving fortissimo but also delicately shaping pianissimo tones, all of which require constant and dedicated work.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, many of my students won awards Satori piano competition, SYMF,
Charleston international competition and state honors at CM test. Several reasons contributed to the students' success in various competitions, and I believe that some of these reasons were their choices and focus. They prioritized selecting pieces that allowed them to showcase their abilities to the fullest and then dedicated themselves to practicing with maximum concentration, resulting in impressive outcomes.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I challenge myself by practicing and completing a difficult piece of music, but I experience an even greater sense of achievement and fulfillment when I see the students I teach progressively improve and help them bring out the hidden potential within them through our collective efforts.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The first step is to read the sheet music - when looking at the sheet music, practice slowly from start to finish, and for the challenging parts, break them down into sections for extra practice. The second step is to practice with rhythmic accuracy and musical expression in mind. The third step is to add the pedal and create the complete musical piece. Finally, in the fourth step, gradually increase the tempo, aiming to match the original tempo, as you continue to practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
To gauge if your child is ready for lessons, observe their reactions when exposed to the subject. If their eyes light up with curiosity and they ask questions, it's a positive sign. Also, if they can focus on an activity for a reasonable amount of time and seem excited about learning, they might be primed for lessons. Remember, readiness is a blend of their age, interests, and ability to engage, so trust your parental instincts too.
Also If your child knows numbers and alphabet they're ready to start lesson.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have always been captivated by the rich tonality and expansive range of the piano sound, which I find to be more profound than any other instrument. The role of the piano in enhancing the brilliance and beauty of other instruments when accompanied by its melodies is something I deeply cherish and love.
