I Love teaching music, and love helping others progress on their musical journeys! I've played music for as long as I can remember, and spent my childhood learning just about every instrument I could get my hands on. As a young adult, I rigorously practiced piano and studied music theory, eventually writing an 80 page thesis analyzing jazz piano improvisation in college. Now, I like to spread my love of music by showing others how much joy it has brought to my life, and helping them to experience that same joy. Read More

I start playing the piano when I was 5 and started playing oboe at the age of 8 in Guanran Catholic Music Elementary School in Taiwan- a school that taught music theory, ear-training, aural skills, music history, choir, and orchestra, in addition to regular academic classes. Throughout my life, I have performed as a solo and collaborative pianist, instrumental and vocal accompanist, oboist, choral singer, and conductor in various venues in US, Taiwan, China, and Italy.

We then set about drawing up a practice routine, specific to that student. The practice routine is a set of 3-5 exercises taken from my library music books that will each touch on an area or skill that the student needs to work on. The routine will end with a song or piece of music for the student to read and practice. The student will practice this routine daily and the following week the student and I will sit down and play through the routine together. Read More

I firmly believe in every student's ability to succeed and so I emphasize consistent, focused practice. I have helped multiple students gain a love for their instrument and go on to compete and perform as well. I encourage the students have fun and pursue their dreams. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Although I was already very much involved in music from childhood, a visiting conductor inspired me to pursue a specific path in college. Thomas Dunn, conductor of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, visited my school to adjudicate a small chorus competition. While in town, he attended a college Glee Club rehearsal as a courtesy the Southern Illinois University choral director who had hired him.
As it happened, I was playing for the rehearsal. I'm quite sure that my 19-year-old self's interpretation of Schubert was not what caught his attention. However, I knew how to play voice parts and anticipate when a pitch was needed (and how to play it) without being asked.
Following the rehearsal, Mr. Dunn took me aside and asked, "Have you ever considered a career in professional accompanying?"
And here's the funny part: I asked him whether I would have to take piano lessons to do that!
He didn't laugh or put me down. His response was, "Most people who do that play very well."
Thank you, sir. You changed my life.
Prior to that brief conversation, I had known that pianists did a lot of accompanying. But I didn't know people could have a career in the field.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Choosing the piano as my primary instrument took a long time. It involved a process of elimination.
I played the flute beginning in 4th grade. Then, at 7th grade music camp at the University of Iowa, the flute section in the band included 50 players. Fifty! That provided a reality check about what would be required to have a career playing the instrument.
During high school, there was a flutist who was two years older who was so accomplished. Her sound was gorgeous and her musicianship was great. I felt that I would not be able to reach that level by playing the flute.
In college, I first majored in history, mostly because I had no idea what to do. When that didn't work out, I changed my major to organ, having had lessons and a church job since age 14. My teacher's plan was for me to start over from the beginning, something I felt was unnecessary.
Next, I changed my major to voice. Juries came around at the end of the term. (In a jury, the student performs for faculty. The faculty then grades the jury, after which that grade is factored into the student's grade for the term.) At my jury, circumstances did me in! Someone had pulled the fire alarm in my dorm eight times the night before, requiring that everyone leave using the stairs. I lived on the 16th floor. Needless to say, I was exhausted the next day. So what happened? I was so shy at the time, I was unable to let the faculty know about the events of the previous night. A combination of fatigue and nerves meant that I forgot every word after the title of a slow song in English.
After that, I sat myself down and asked whether I thought I would ever feel comfortable singing alone in front of people. The answer was "No."
From that point on, my major was piano performance. I have never regretted my decision.
