As I mentioned before, my teaching style can best be described as easygoing, but precise and adapted to each students needs. I focus on the person trying to learn as much as on the learning itself. Yet, Im not demanding or harsh in my delivery or expectations. Rather than a standard, vanilla approach, I try learn my students personality, learning style, and sense of humor pretty quickly and work to adapt the facts and knowledge of music to each student as an individual human, not an appointment.

My name is Emily, and I offer piano lessons for children in my Chula Vista home, or by arrangement in your San Diego area home. I am a substitute teacher who works at the preschool, kindergarten, and elementary schools in Coronado, Silver Strand, and Chula Vista. I have an extensive background in music, singing, and piano; my family is filled with musicians, and after growing up playing piano and performing in musicals and with college choirs, I have happily settled into a career of sharing my love of music with children.

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

From the time I started myself in piano to the time I graduated from a conservatory of Music - I had worked with a total of nine piano teachers in seventeen years. Of these teachers - one was stellar, one was horrid, and the rest fell somewhere in between. That experience taught me what works well and what doesn't in teaching others and inspiring them to excel. The pedagogy program at my conservatory also gave me hands-on training and kick-start ed my teaching career in San Francisco. Read More

Most of my professional experience has been with the Marine Corps Music Program for 15 years. I also grew up with private piano lessons, and continued band and show choir throughout high school. Before my career with the Marine Corps Band, I also performed professionally around northern Ohio as a keyboardist and drummer in Top 40 and Rock bands for 3 years. I have a passion for composition and producing, and also enjoy finding innovative ways to encourage and challenge my music students. Read More

When I have a beginning student, I provide for them a basic lesson book that includes fun songs and introduction to theory. Each week I go over a song or two with the student and have them play for me the song or songs for their next week's lesson. If the student performs the piece well, they are rewarded with a sticker and can move on. For my more advanced students, I ask them what kind of music they are interested in and they play for me songs from their favorite movie or artist. Read More

I am a patient and dedicated piano teacher who loves to see my students pleased of their progress and their accomplishments. I was hand-picked by a group of professional piano school directors to begin training at the early age of 6 through the Music School for Gifted Children in Russia. After 11 years of intensive training in piano performance and theory, I went on to complete my Bachelors degree at Music College of Russia. 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.
