I believe that encouragement, practical positivity, different learning styles and realistic short term long term challenges can aid in you or your child's musical success. I emphasize developing positive down to earth relationships with my students so that they feel like they can be themselves and learn in a safe environment. Developing relationships also aids in understanding what you or your child's learning style is and in creating realistic short term and long term goals lesson plans. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
I am classically trained on piano and have been studying for many years. My piano students learn theory, as well as rhythm and end up very well versed in how to count properly. I also teach them proper hand technique as well as expression in a piece. Many students believe that it's impossible to be emotional on piano, but I make them dig deep to find the beauty and meaning in each piece and they come out the other side better players for it.

Instruments: Piano
I have over 15 years of teaching piano experience. I teach in my music studio. All my students have received good results from piano exams. I also have organized some piano competitions in my home town in California. I accompanied with violin students in exams and recitals. I also played for choir in church. I teach age 5 and above. My students grew with my teaching and entered in good college. They enjoy playing piano even after they grow up and I believe that will last for their whole life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I see no difference between method and style so I will just try to add more to what has already been mentioned. I think of myself as very supportive and encouraging but I believe in having standards. When a student does well I applaud them and let them know how happy I am to see their progress. I will also let a student know when they are not doing well and not meeting some reasonable expectations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Music has taken me to see places of the world I would have never been, music has given me some of the coolest jobs in my life. Playing organ for the San Jose Sharks NHL team was a dream come true, and I am still the youngest person to have held that job in the NHL. They still use all of my recordings. I went to the Virgin Islands last year to perform with a band on New Year's Eve, total paradise all to enjoy just for playing some music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I tailor each lesson to the unique self and stage of musical development of the student and actively create custom lesson plans and materials to best suit their progress and musical curiousities. Improvisation and rhythm games, music theory essentials, and instrumental basics are core components of my teaching practice. 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.
