My teaching experience started when I became a choir Director in my church in 2000,I love to teach different harmonies for different vocal ranges plus I will teach them with the solfa notations which is the music notes.i remember some of the choristers where tone deaf but I always love to take it slow and steady with them eventually they all got better and I was fulfilled.its always fun and conducive in my classes because I always make it look easy and not stressful.i always tell my students that the only way you can be better is daily practice and dedication.

Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano for over 20 years. I grew up in a musical home and have enjoyed improving my performance skills over the years! I have taken piano lessons from several major piano professors from top universities. I have a lot of experience working with beginners and intermediate pianists. I love helping new students learn how playing the piano can improve their lives. I have had many opportunities to accompany various instruments, including choirs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I fell in love with teaching the piano during my freshman year of high school. That was 8 years ago, and I have been teaching consistently from my home studio and online ever since then. I have found that there is a fine balance to be struck between structure and curiosity in helping a student cultivate their love for music. I make a point to help my students create consistent practice schedules while allowing them space to play with and explore the piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tend to be more laid back and relaxed. I want students to feel comfortable making mistakes, improvisation and creating their own sounds without fear of harsh criticism. I set up goals for each student based on their interests and what I feel is going to help them advance. This will include genres they may not like but I want to give them experience with a variety of different sounds and rhythms. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I love teaching students how to read the music. It really makes my day when they can play a piece and enjoy the music. I want them to then go forth and share the joy with others. Usually I play a piece over and over until I get it, then I have a little fun with it.I enjoy teaching music as a substitute teacher. I currently play piano or organ at 3 different congregations.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! Music is fun! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Piano
I am mainly using Alfred's Premier Piano series in my curriculum for beginning students who are children. I include material from other method books that help meet the needs I want for my students. It is very important for any student at any level to have a strong technical foundation starting with proper posture and hand shape. When learning new songs and pieces, I start off with aural experiences for the students, especially when rhythm is difficult. Read More
Instruments: Violin
When will I start to see results?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. This varies from student to student and really depends on the individual, how much practicing you do and your age. Playing is a physical skill so it does take repetition to improve. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished within a few months. Most of my students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the me for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, in fact I did have a wonderful teacher that inspired me to pursue music as a full time career. I was inspired to play the violin at a pretty young age when I would watch YouTube videos of my favorite songs being played. I remember one day when I was watching videos I saw a person playing the violin, and they were playing my favorite song. At that exact moment I knew I just had to learn to play the violin and make the magical sounds resonate from it like they were doing. Later after I picked up the violin my parents eventually got me a private violin teacher and she made learning the violin very fun for me although on some days they would be pretty serious when I didn't practice. They saw that I started to progress and accomplish many of my goals in school and in finding music jobs in the future and I know they couldn't be more proud of me. I learned a lot and have also passed on the method to my students with my own improvisation and skills of course. I have learned a lot on my music playing and learning journey and I will keep on going.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Something about the sound of the violin makes my heart soar. The violin generally carries the melody, so it is like another voice that is never marred by allergies or laryngitis. When well-played, the sound of the bow on the strings is a perfect medium for emotional expression. I love everything about how the violin makes me feel. I love the required upright posture whether one is sitting or standing- no hunching allowed! The feeling of the strings on my left hand fingers is almost like being in touch with the life pulse of the instrument. The movement of my right arm dragging and pushing the bow back and forth feels like the ebb and flow of life itself. Then there is the vibration that simultaneously travels through the instrument to both your chin and your fingers- seemingly through your very heart. As is the case with many instruments, the violin is capable of several kinds of voice depending on how it is manipulated by the musician. From the double-stops and shuffles of the fiddle, to the clean clear notes of most show tunes, to the airy, almost magical harmonics. And let us not forget the trills, the various styles of vibrato, and the glissando or staccato. Each technique creates its own unique voice within a musical piece.
