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
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have been teaching private lesson on and off since I was in college. I have taken the last few years off to complete my graduate education and begin my formal teaching career. I believe that encouraging my students to find fun in practice by choosing music that keeps the students interested. This means taking music from both the classical and popular repertoires. Read More

I began teaching in high school, working with elementary and middle school students. Through this experience, I discovered my passion for helping others discover music. In my first full-time teaching position, I was able to to lead the Greenland (AR) High School band to the ASBOA Sweepstakes Award, the highest honor for a school band in that state. Additionally, many of my students were selected to honor bands and several received college scholarships. Read More

I enjoy helpingmy students discover their own individual learning style,and with this knowledge Iam able toadjustmyteaching method appropriately.In developing a passion for music, it is important tofirst determine the type of musicyouenjoy. Students naturally want to learn and play the music they love, so the genre of music that I teach depends on the student's preference. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As a teacher, I will also be a coach to encourage the student to learn rudimentary and theory basics. These will be foundational for development as the student matures. Tactically, lessons will consist of playing for understanding. I look forward to a student questions as it is key for the overall learning process. In some cases, I will have to do some homework for the student! I believe this combination of style and method provides a strong format to give the student a satisfying and confident background a music career as a soloist or to jump in on jam sessions and perform with others.

I put passion and enjoyment of the music above all else. I keep things casual, light and fun in terms of energy, but focused and diligent in terms of practice. I love finding the soul of the song and pulling out the passion of the student so that they are engaged and intrigued by whatever we're doing at all times. If it interests the student, I will integrate training on stage presence, energy and confidence in addition to actually learning the piece in front of them. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music is classical, especially romantic era like Chopin, Schumann, Rachmaninoff. I sometimes play or listen to jazz like telenious monk or ella fitzgerald too, but i choose classical over them because i never get tired of them n listen to them every single day. Music gives me joy, comfort, tears, heart warming n pounding all together. I have to listen to them every single day to survive, especially on my sad or depressing days. Think about it! Why would people use music for all those different occasions? Because it helps each of the occasions out to be even happier or give comfort.
When will I start to see results?
It really depends on how focused you are n how much time you spend practicing with. I sometimes have students requesting to have lessons with me more than once a week. I tell them directly n right away that it seems like a waste of money. Having a multiple time of lesson per week does not make you play better or learn faster. You should rather practice more everyday or at least 5 days a week at least than 2 to 3 days a week, for example. Having a great teacher would help to be able to learn quickly or play well, of course, than a someone who is not as famous. However, students should not think taking many lessons per week would automatically make them play superbly well all of a sudden. There is no easy thing we can accomplish in life, especially in music. This is something you being able to accomplish a tiny bit at a time by doing it everyday, diligently, n sincerely.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I usually prefer teaching students who are at least 6 yrs old of the age. The reason is a lot of times the students who are younger than that do not seem to read or write n that makes the piano learning experience pretty difficult n frustrating for both the instructor n the student. I think the student doesn't have to read or write fluently, but at least be able to read the 7 alphabet we use in music, n be able to count 1 to 10 since we have 10 fingers. Also i have experienced before that if a student doesn't read, they don't know what their home work is. Therefore, someone like their mom or dad always have to tell them what it is by reading it for them. Quite inconvenient i would say.
