Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I approach each student knowing that every student is unique and so is their learning style. While the information that is delivered to each student remains the same, the manner in which I teach each student varies widely. I try to foster the best student-teacher relationship possible in order to gain the confidence and trust of both the student and their families. I also have much experience teaching students with unique characteristics such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard
My fellow students enjoyed having me in charge because I made sure that they did not feel inferior. I was honestly just helping them by sharing my knowledge of music. And we all saw vast improvement. Upon graduating I auditioned for the Dallas Opera, but however was not accepted due to my lack of experience. I have had experience however in helping out with some local plays, musicals, or performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ
Because I care about my students as people first, I am able to encourage and bring out their best performance. My years of experience and refined teaching methods make me effective in helping students reach music and performance goals. And finally, my professional record demotrates that I have and continue to be committed to the strengthening myself in the field. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Accordion Keyboard
I have been singing and teaching for over 30 years both professionally and for my own enjoyment. Singing is my passion, it is what I do. I have found that teaching someone to enjoy and express themselves through music is perhaps one of the most rewarding things I do. For the past several years I have had the privilege to teach within several school districts as a Private Voice Instructor. These districts include Arlington ISD, Grapevine ISD, Plano ISD and Lewisville ISD. During my time with Grapevine ISD I worked closely with Music Faculty in support of their program which included writing curriculum for the Music History program. I work closely with my students and their Choral Director to make the musical experience fun and rewarding. At the end of the school year the students perform in recital for their parents and friends. I am always very proud of my students as they demonstrate what they have learned and how much they have improved through the year. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I don't use any one method book. Instead I opt to pull from a variety of sources depending on the students age, background, and skill level. In terms of repertoire, I focus almost exclusively on classical music. While I am a fan of other genres, I also firmly believe that building a solid, classically-based technical foundation is the only way to really become proficient on any instrument. A student simply is not going to develop by just playing his or her favorite pop songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I have been teaching the piano for life. I started teaching when I was at conservatory as a Kawaii piano instructor. I also start performing as a pianist and singer pianist while in college. I continued to teach and perform after graduating from college. With decades of teaching experience, I have developed efficient and effective curriculums that students can learn properly and quickly. I focus on maximizing each student's capability while building a solid musical foundation so that the student can enjoy and share music for life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Piccolo Keyboard
My methods of teaching are teaching what and how to practice. The basic ingredients in music are scales and chords and space. I am a firm believer of playing with a rhythm section from the beginning. Because of this, I use devices such as playing with tracks, myself, and other people. I provide audio and visual examples using recordings and videos. It is a myth that, with music, you either have it or you don't. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
- turn off the TV or internet when practicing. Focus!
- 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than an hour of just messing around.
- be sure to play some music....not just a bunch of exercises all the time!
- play scales slowly at first in order to hear your tuning and pitches. Speed can come later.
- rest when tired. Then, do some more.
- use a metronome quite often
- use play-along recording
- record yourself once in awhile (use phone, iPad, digital recorder, etc.)
Best advice ever:
If you miss one day, you'll know it. You miss two days, your teacher knows. Miss three....the audience knows it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They should want to do it to some degree. If they're forced into it, they won't enjoy themselves and will end up resenting music lessons.
For trombone, being 'too small' could be a problem, unfortunately. Maybe they need to start on the trumpet if they're too young to physically pick up a trombone. But, you could buy a lightweight 'P-Bone' (made of plastic...and it plays!)
When will I start to see results?
Beginners: within 30 minutes. (expectations have to be realistic with beginners. If they get off to a good start with lessons, then they'll know what to work on in order to make some progress.
High school students: if they don't take the horn home from school and practice, well....sorry....it'll be erratic progress.
Adults: with dedication, they could be playing in any kind of ensemble they dream of within 5 years at a totally professional level. Maybe even sooner. They could have the stamina to play in a simple rock band horn section in a year if they kept at it...again, maybe sooner. Every individual is different.
* sometimes, having a teacher help you find a better mouthpiece that works for you and your horn can be a 'miracle cure'! I've gone through the mouthpiece search many times, and I know that it is vitally important to have a mouthpiece that works for you....not against you!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother....she was a professional piano player/teacher/accompanist.
I grew up listening to great music from birth. After high school, I was 'lost' in thinking of what to do or study. Then, a light bulb came on inside me....music!....it's what I'm always listening to and thinking of anyways.
My mother helped me get caught up on my music theory in order to audition for university music school.
And, she played for my recitals as well. Couldn't have done it without her!
