I have been teaching music since 2001. I was the music program director at Mission Hills Middle School and the guitar and conga teacher at St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Oakland. I have also been a music instructor with Star Power Music, COVA, Art and Soul Music Studios, Hayward Music Center and ALMA. I teach all levels of guitar and congas, as well as beginning piano, voice and drum set lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My goal as a teacher is to make the student an independent musician as quickly as possible. For this, I work on developing multiple musical areas, from piano skills, to aural training, theory, sight reading, and more to make the student a well rounded and competent musician. The student should expect to have weekly assignments as well as practicing 3-4 days, if a beginner, or every day for intermediate for at least 30 minutes a day. Read More

The key ingredient to learning is interest. I believe that my students need to have an interest in what they are playing so that they can keep their minds and spirits engaged. Rudiments require attention and practice, but there is much more to learning an instrument than just technique; passion also needs nurturing. If a student is really in to Star Wars, for example, I will gladly incorporate the 'Imperial March' into their rudimentary studies. Read More

Hi, I am a pianist, composer, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist originally from upstate New York. I am passionate about all of the above, but I consider teaching to be the most immediately rewarding. In 2008 I completed my degree in music at the State University of New York in Fredonia. Shortly afterwards, I made a journey to the west coast and found a home in the SF bay area. I got involved in the vibrant music scene as quick as possible and played with as many different types of musicians as I could find. Read More

Teaching is a passion of mine that I hope to further expand upon in my post-graduate educational studies. I do my best to provide a personalized lesson that is designed to suit a students playing style.I like to acknowledge a students accomplishments to help encourage their accomplishments. By acknowledging a students accomplishments it helps them thrive and eager to tackle further challenges both in music and their lives. I want my students to enjoy practicing and grow their love for their respective instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am very encouraging and patient as a teacher, i understand how learning is when your trying to get over the hurdles. My compassion allows me to put myself in the students shoes, which makes me a better teacher. I like to encourage the student to listen to artists and incorporate musical philosophy to inspire the student to play and achieve and experiment. I think being curious is a musician's best friend, it creates the drive to want to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, composer and educator who takes great joy in teaching and sharing music with people of all ages. I've been deeply fortunate to have studied closely with multiple master musicians of various traditions. Perhaps the teacher who has had the deepest impact on my teaching methods is W.A. Mathieu, former arranger and bandmember of the Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton orchestras. I studied with Mathieu for three years. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, if I weren't a musician, I think I would still be involved in something related to teaching and helping others learn and grow. Music has always been my passion, and teaching the violin and viola to young students like your child is incredibly fulfilling for me.
If I had to choose an alternative career path, I might have become an educator or a mentor in a different field. I enjoy sharing knowledge and inspiring others to reach their full potential, so perhaps I would have become a teacher in a different subject, a tutor, or even a counselor. Ultimately, my desire to make a positive impact on people's lives through education and guidance would have remained a driving force, even if it weren't in the realm of music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Well, I must say, as a classical violin and viola instructor, my favorite style of music to play is, unsurprisingly, classical music! There are several reasons why I have a deep appreciation for this genre.
Firstly, classical music offers a rich and diverse repertoire that spans several centuries. From the beautiful melodies of composers like Mozart and Beethoven to the complex and emotional works of Tchaikovsky and Brahms, there's a vast array of music to explore and enjoy.
Secondly, classical music provides a fantastic opportunity to develop technical skills on the violin and viola. The intricate phrasing, bowing techniques, and fingerings required in classical pieces challenge both beginners and advanced players, making it a constant journey of improvement and growth.
Moreover, classical music has a timeless quality that allows us to connect with the past and the musicians who came before us. It's a way to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of different eras, which I find quite fascinating.
Lastly, classical music allows for a deep emotional connection with the instrument and the audience. The power of classical music to convey complex emotions and tell stories through music is truly remarkable. It's a rewarding experience to share these emotions with both the players and the listeners.
So, while I enjoy various musical styles, classical music remains my favorite due to its depth, diversity, technical challenges, and the profound emotional connection it offers. And I hope to share my passion for this genre with your child as we continue our violin and viola lessons!
