Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I love tailoring each lesson to each individual student I teach. It is important to me that my students are interested in the material that they are learning. I enjoy helping my students reach their musical goals by selecting repertoires that appeal to them while also helping to address and resolve their technical deficiencies. For my beginning piano students, I typically start with Faber's Piano Adventures. For young singers, I use the Kodaly Method as a way of developing musical skills and teaching musical concepts.

Here are the things that I want to impart to my piano students in their first 10 weeks of lessons: That I love music and I love teaching them That music lessons are creative and exploratory That creating music is fun and easy That music can tell stories That music is more than pushing down keys That music is art and involves dynamics, speed, feeling, etc. That singing and moving to music is just a part of how we do things in music education That playing the piano the right way (ie. with the right technique) is really important The importance of understanding, feeling and moving to meter (duple/triple) The concept of home, tonic/dominant tonalities and being able to hear and create bass lines That music is made up of chords, patterns, and melodies That they can transpose music into different keys I use Alfred Piano Method, it also dives into intervallic reading, as described above.

All students in my music program are introduced to the Quality Music Instruction Curriculum. The books in this curriculum, allow each student to advance at his/her own pace while maintaining consistent progress. In addition to the Quality Music Instruction Curriculum, lessons are supplemented with the Bastien series. I lay the foundation for music by teaching all of the necessary rudiments of music such as scales, fingering, chord structures and then I incorporate music that's appealing to the students. Read More

Instruments: Piano
Fun, encouraging, and a huge fan of positive reinforcement. The student is led to focus more on learning and exploring the music more than focusing on the presence of the pacing of classes which has proven to greatly reduce pressure. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Having a proper ability of bringing out variety of sound and color, of understanding and obeying the original style regarding how to appropriately interpret pieces under composers' expectation. What makes it very hard is the mastery of voicing, ability for the tone quality control, and the ability to manage multiple lines at one time without disturbing the structure and texture simultaneously.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Have been mentioned in "My Methods" section.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a multi-layered voicing instrument, the harmony can be created on this instrument nor on other single melody instruments. I enjoy the sound of the piano and the touching of the keyboard. Piano is the only instrument that I have played for almost 20 years. Addition to the fact, I never learned other instruments beside piano, which I would have hoped to attempt learning a secondary instrument. I like that piano can possibly accompany many other instruments and singers. Range of dynamic and sonority are wide, which gives an unique character to create beautiful sound via such percussive-oriented instrument.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
While I was teaching in Gainesville, Florida, I have two students awarded with prizes in competitions. One was for Pre-College Piano Ensemble Competition sponsored by FSMTA and another went to the Young Artist Concerto Competition in Jacksonville. These two girls aged 16 and 17 years old respectively. Both of them are eager to play piano, and they're hard workers. In high school age, they squeezed times to have as much as practicing hours possible beyond their intensive academic studies in school. I set the goal for them and choose the competitions based on the categories of divergent sorts. During the preparing process, I worked hard with them for strategizing the effective approaches as to help them fix the problems.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of myself that have been involving in music profession since my undergraduate study. I'm proud of myself to keep the perseverance as being a pianist, and actively play the recitals in different cities, venues, and for different audiences. By staying in the musical profession as a pianist, it requires many demanding things, such as adequate practicing hours, ability to prepare repertoires for upcoming recitals quickly, to read music fast and done the polish sooner than later, and so on. It also requires a great coping skills while on stage if neither of your physical or psychological condition is good.
