Instruments: Piano
I have taught students since the beginning of my high school years. I have taught both Piano Performance and Music Theory based on the examination program of ABRSM (The Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music). Some of my students have reached distinctive scores in their respective levels. I have been involved in performances as a member of chamber ensembles and solo recitals every few months in my experience in UCSD. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I want all of my students smiling and laughing and feeling the joy in discovering how to play music that brings them passion. I break it down into steps for my students. I explain to my piano, guitar, voice students in such a way that it really assists them in understanding the process of learning music. We gradually develop one motor skill after another motor skill. It becomes fun as we get more comfortable with each skill, we add-on more skills, and beautiful pieces of music arise out of our development. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
My teaching experience dates began during my university days, as i began teaching private lessons part time for 3 month in France. encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points i like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I also found that learning the bases of music would help student to play multiple instrument and grow up as an artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I encourage my students practice at least a minimum of 30 minutes a day. I don't have one particular book I work from as I see every student is different. I do require that they have a theory book because I believe learning the theory is just as important. Regardless of their age, I encourage them to find a piece within their level that they would enjoy learning to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion
I believe in a student-centered, play based, approach to music education. Because of this, I have developed a line of supplemental materials and games which can be customized to meet the interests and ability levels of my students in a developmentally appropriate mannor. I also have an indepth understanding of all of the most popular band methods (Accent on Achievement, Essential Elements, Standards of Excellence, Sound Innovations etc) and can jump in to help band students to meet the expectations of their school band directors..

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet
When teaching students who are young, I would first start off with the fundamentals. For example, I would explain music terms to them and develop the new language from there. Once the student has a basic understanding of music, I would then talk about the Circle of Fifths and encourage them to participate in events like concerts or festivals in school. When becoming a young adult, I would then discuss competitions and help them prepare for college auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
For beginning students I use different method books and supplemental resources depending on the instrument being taught. It is important to discover each student's interests and am always searching for creative ways to keep the student engaged and fun, no matter the ability level. Together with the following method books, I create worksheets and use computer games to make llearning more enjoyable. Bastien piano courses; Hal Lenoard piano; Snell piano method; Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
In the wake of the late, great EVH, I've been working on learning the nearly-unbelievable guitar work on 'Hot For Teacher'.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I like to think I'd be some sort of engineer or architect. In reality, I'd probably just listen to a lot of music, cry into a bowl of ice cream, and wish I was Frank Zappa. It's what I do some days already.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
After violin and guitar came drums. My first-ever band met in the drummer's garage, as they usually do, and one day the drummer was, somehow, late to practice at his own house. The bassist started playing, and I thought, psh, let's see how hard it is. Turns out I have a blast playing drums - the physical rush and the multi-limb coordination might make it the most fun I have playing an instrument.
I began to play the sitar after spending one night of a balmy spring tour in Raleigh, North Carolina, at a DIY venue inside a converted dance studio - big floor-to-ceiling mirrors everywhere. A resident of the space brought out his sitar and showed me the correct, rather punishing posture and fingerpicking tools needed to play the instrument properly. It hurt! And made me fascinated with the nigh-fretless sound it produced. I've loved the sitar ever since.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I have seen many guitar who players suffer from the burden of being too excited to play, and having too many things they want to do in their playing in too short a time. All the flashy skill and shredding in the world won't make you sound good if you aren't playing to what's happening around you. The hardest thing to master as a musician, in my eyes, is to learn to listen more than you create - then to create with intention.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents started me on violin lessons when I was four years old. By the time I got to be a pre-teen, I realized I'd gone most of my life playing an instrument I didn't feel that strongly about! It was around this time that a classmate of mine introduced me to Green Day (had to happen sometime), and I felt right away that I should be playing the electric guitar. It happened that my years of violin helped me make the switch just about immediately, and before long I was making tremendous progress - the fruits of actually caring about my instrument! I ran with it and never looked back. A few months ago, my bandmate picked up an old violin, and I felt a great rush of nostalgia. I found that, after taking a couple of days to warm up, I could jump right back into playing it - not as well as I had when I was practicing two hours a day, but not too shabby for someone who hadn't touched one in over ten years.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows passion or interest in an instrument, they've already got the biggest part down! Get them started with a teacher who will encourage and challenge them to make the most out of their enthusiasm.
If you think your child might be interested, but aren't sure, have a conversation with them. Ask them about the music they like. Ask what sounds they like. Often, children don't realize how much they enjoy something until they have a chance to try it out for themselves. If you think they might benefit from a creative outlet, or if you notice them reacting positively to music, give it a shot and see how they like it.
