Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
For students that are beginners in music, I use the Essential Elements and Rubank methods to teach them how to read music as well as their instrument. For more advanced students, I place more of an emphasis on the fundamentals of the instrument specifically developing a warm, beautiful sound and establishing a vast technical facility. All of my students are expected to keep a practice journal as way to encourage logging their own progress and goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
Currently, I'm helping a local church playing piano and drums (when they're short a drummer), and I'm the lead singer for a band called Just A Theory. Having been a part of this band has been really cool because we've used this group as a platform to help the homeless, by having our fans bring food and clothing to our shows. It's been very nice to see people willing to do what they can to help those who are in need. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have a bachelors degree in psychology so I am very sensitive to adapting to the feel of my students. I want to hear your goals, and know what your expectations are. We are a team, and together we will help you reach where you want to go and have a fun time doing so. I am very creative and open for ideas. Also I am sensitive to shyness, something I struggled with in the past myself, so we will work together to find ways to tackle these cool challenges and help you grow as an artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle
I like to start out beginning string students with Essential Elements 2000 by the Hal Leonard company. They have a complete system which includes professionally recorded accompaniments which provide a model for the student to hear how to play with good intonation, tone and rhythm which are the most important basics. In addition I recommend other sheet music with piano accompaniment or books with CD accompaniments that can be performed for friends and family. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began my teaching career as a college student in 2015 and have continued to teach both in private and group settings for a total of 8 years. My primary instrument is voice, and I am passionate about guiding growing singers in finding their voice, developing healthy vocal technique, learning helpful music theory, and fostering a love of music! I also teach piano up to an intermediate level and enjoy helping players advance their agility, understanding of theory, and musical expression. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching for a little over 2 years and I enjoy passing my knowledge along to everyone. Music is a huge part of my life, I started playing music when I was 9 years old. I taught myself how to play: Guitar, Bass, Upright Bass, and Tuba. My dedication made me able to get into my dream college right after high school which is Berklee College of Music which is located in Boston Massachusetts. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
My approach to teaching is very student-centric. I firmly believe that every student has unique talents and insights. I strive to find the right balance for every student, between their personal goals and what areas of opportunity for growth I see for them. It is my mission to help every student get the most out of every lesson, and leave knowing that they have discovered something new about themselves and their ability to connect with music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To repeat a certain process:
for a certain amount of time, continue this formula -
1. Play through the melody/note/progression many times, & build your concentration of effective execution. 2. Then, take a break for however much time to let you hands/lips & mind relax
3. Then, come back to it, and you will be surprised how much that break helped the ability to sink in.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see positive results within the first few weeks of starting private lessons.
Depending on where the student is in terms of how much they do or don't know about music, the results will of course vary. If the student is starting from scratch, the first results will be how to hold the instrument properly, how to generate a sustainable pitch, as well as becoming aware of the direction they will need to advance to become proficient in that instrument. If the student is already passed the beginning stages, the results will be more about first breaking common bad habits, and then moving onto learning more advanced skills and how the skills relate to the notation/theoretical side of understanding music.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My biggest influences on developing a life long pursuit in music are mostly from family members. My mom's dad was a trumpet player as well as a middle school music teacher for many years. With my dad's father, even though his main career was in the medical field, he was also a very talented clarinet player. As the lineage continued to my mom and dad, my mom actually discovered that she liked the clarinet more than the trumpet, and my dad discovered that he really loved the saxophone. What's cool about how they met was my dad moved to Orange County for work and met my mom in the Orange County Community Concert band. In the later months of my mother's pregnancy, she would rest her clarinet on her pregnant belly during rehearsal while she played, and a lot of the other members would tell her, "Boy, I bet that baby is going to be a very musical person when they grow up." The direct vibration of the notes from the clarinet must have touched my heart inside the womb, because I did indeed grow to be someone extremely dedicated and passionate about music.
