A music student should be able to practice and perform as though no one is watching, and that it is simply the spontaneous expression of the soul! For this, I have to curate material and instruction so that it is authentic and engaging to the student - this is what unlocks the truest connection to musicianship. I believe that high-level training is the diligent pursuit of quality and detail - and that talent is simply how one approaches ANY new material. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, I start off with using Faber's set of collections and five finger positions. I keep the beginners on a regime of learning five finger position songs to build confidence and the ability to grasp the fundamentals. I teach simple techniques along with their five finger position songs such as scales and arpeggio. Once they have progressed to a certain degree, I begin to introduce more variety and the ability to read further than five finger position. Read More

I am an experienced chamber musician and am the founder and pianist of the Papillons Piano Trio which performs locally. 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.
