I began teaching private music lessons while I was working on my Bachelor of Music degree. I also was a teaching assistant for guitar classes at the university that I attended. After I graduated I continued to teach privately, at music stores and technical colleges including Lake Washington Technical College. I taught at Bellevue American Music for over twenty years. I teach many styles including classical, jazz and modern styles and I encourage my students to explore different genres of music to keep them excited and motivated. Read More

I'm a passionate musician and artist that has dedicated more than half of his life to this noble and amazing discipline, which I thoroughly believe that it does become your lifestyle and a way of seeing the world through completely different eyes. Art and music are about compassion, sharing, empathy, and humanity, anyone who decides to learn a musical instrument, or simply admire music and learn its ways even if you don't want to make a living out of it, will surely become a better human being.

Instruments: Piano
For teaching a beginning student, I prefer Music Tree by Frances Clark.It's a very good material for kids and it shows them the basics of music: rhythm, melody, and theory. For advanced students, I will determine their level and style and choose the suitable repertoire for them in each lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
For beginning brass players I generally start out with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements series of books. After going through that, with some other material on the side, such as performance pieces, etc, they would progress to the Arban book (at around high school age for the student who began in sixth grade, as I did). For piano, I much prefer starting out with basic fundamentals, but not to any specific method, in contrast to brass. Read More

Mylove for teaching stems frommy desire to pass onmy knowledge of musicto others. Helping others develop a passion for music is somethingIfeel isnecessary tocopein a world that can often be overwhelming without an outlet for expressions, such as music. I have been instructing students in percussion since I was a Junior in high school and taught at the Denny Way Music School on Capital Hill from 2013-2015. I have instructed students, from elementary school to adulthood, in areasincludingmusic theory, ear training and drum performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I teach not only how to play the chosen instrument, but also about its history and its role across musical styles. Music is fun, and while hard work and practice are important and essential, so is enjoyment of music and enjoyment of one's instrument. I also strive to include music related field trips such as to opera dress rehearsals, to music related sites such as the EMP or to other local performances. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend playing a piece that is known to give one the chance to start thinking musically. Then do technical studies for five to ten minutes (as appropriate to knowledge level). After that one should work on current literature that is being learnt. To end a session I would suggest playing something one likes to leave oneself with a positive feeling.
My favorite rule is the Eleven Minute rule. If you have trouble with a passage, or are trying to memorize something do it for eleven minutes and then stop and do something else such as play that sog you really like.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1) When they have the desire to play
2) When they have suitable physical development to do so.
a) violin and piano can be started at three to four years of age if you are willing to put in the time to
teach them the discipline of practice without making them hate it
b) age six is a good time to start piano for the average child
c) age eight is the earliest I recommend starting guitar, but there are exceptions.
d) age ten is a good general age for beginning music, particularly for wind instruments.
3) If you want your child to play music talk to them about it before they reach the above ages and
and observe if they are getting excited about the idea.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual. However, if the student is eager for the next lesson this indicates that they are motivated. In general I give a student three months to see if they are making satisfactory progress. Results can be seen earlier but that is the point where I decide if a different approach should be used.
In 2002 I had two fifteen year old girls start guitar. Initially I thought girl A was going to excel and girl B was not going to do as well. At the end of three months they both showed good progress but girl A was more skilled. At the end of a year they were both equally matched. In the second year girl A dropped but girl B continued until she graduated from high school and in the end was the better musician.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
At age six I asked for piano lessons. I did not get them but my parents sporadically would guide me. No one individual inspired me I just wanted to play music from an early age.
When I started clarinet in fifth grade I admired my band teacher and followed what he said as if he was the fount of all knowledge.
I never did get the lessons I repeatedly asked for and so know what it is like to not have a skilled voice guide one to achieve ones musical goals. You can do a lot with teaching yourself but there are always gaps in your knowledge and skills because there is not someone there to guide you.
