Instruments: Piano Voice
Music is the most beautiful thing in my life, and I love sharing music with others by teaching and performing. I received my Bachelors and Masters degree from Taiwan where I grew up, and I came to the US and received my Graduate Performance Diploma from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in 2011 and my Doctor of Musical Arts from the Catholic University of America in 2017. I have performed in the US, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Japan. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time for school years, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 17 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. 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. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I have been teaching since 1984 and now I teach from my home studio. I am not trying to make my students the best in the world but I want them to love music. My students have accomplished many goals. They have all had the chance to perform in recitals. Some have won scholarships to private schools and colleges, gotten to perform at Disney World to record music for a movie soundtrack and have won top music awards from their high school graduations.

Instruments: Piano
In my time as a piano student, I've had 3 different teachers with very different styles. What worked for me was having a teacher sit in a chair beside me to be able to see everything and help me as I went. The music itself plays a huge role in that because if you like a song you're learning you will learn it faster and more efficiently than a song you don't like. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I usually use the Alfred Music Piano Methods series, and include music theory and ear training as a part of the curriculum. Once students have grasped the fundamentals, I will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for receital performances to encourage and motivate their learning. For adult students, I love to spend time to figure out the students musical interests, and use the types of music they enjoy to guide my instruction so the lessons can be engaging and fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been involved with music for as long as I can remember. My first love was singing, and I still enjoy singing today. My first instrument was the accordion, after which I moved on to piano and keyboards. I remember my piano teacher, Mr Scholl, was a neighbor and he would come to my house for lessons. I had no idea that years later as an adult I would be "paying it forward". Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Music
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If it is a child, the lesson must be set up as a game and the child must be engaged. I still recommend an introductory interview with the teacher
When will I start to see results?
The results are directly proportional to the student's interest in music. I had a Chinese student who wanted to learn at all costs, starting from almost zero and in a couple of months, with a frequency of two hours a week. He started improvising jazz - at a good level for a neophyte - with a good timing and an intoned sound. The student practiced every day and followed the lessons with a lot of interest.
It depends on the student's ability and willingness to apply themselves.
The teacher has the task to push the student and stimulate him/her, the student has the task to participate in the lessons actively studying and preparing for lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I was lucky enough to study with many musicians, many of them were very famous (as you can read from my CV), others were less known but equally important in my journey.
Each of them taught me something different. The rules are fundamental but it is more important how you use them in your own language.
That's why every musician is different from one another. The teachers helped me to see the different aspects and above all, they transferred to me their love and respect for music.
I think I was lucky, but I also think this happened because I wanted to learn how to play jazz
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Organize well the time you have available for your daily practice; use the clock! Divide the time you have, the number of exercises you need to do.
Remember to organize your week well, write your targets for the week or period in a notebook, and breakdown your targets for the time you have at hand.
For example, if in a week you have to study the major scale in all the keys, with attached arpeggios, divide this work across 7 days. Make sure you have time every day to repeat what you learned the day before. Remember that in a daily practice you have to face different points and you must also find the time to play freely. Do not be scared, if you organize yourself well, you can do everything. In class, I will help you set up your work at home.
