Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
If you wish to educate, you must inspire first. Each student is encouraged to proceed at a pace that is suited to their aptitude, goals, schedule and drive. Positive acknowlegement of achievements, clear communication and demonstration of techniques, opportunities to play with others at a similar level of growth and an atmosphere of musical community are key to the progress of my students. To inspire, instruct, and enjoy music is the mesaage the teacher should be imparting to the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 24years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 11years. 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 Music
I am a pianist/musician who is passionate about teaching and sharing my love of music. I grew up in Mexico City and won a scholarship to study at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy. I then continued my studies at The Oberlin Conservatory and earned a Master's Degree at The Boston Conservatory. I have performed in venues such as Weill Hall in Carnegie Hall, the Tsai Performance Center in Boston, Harvard's Sander's Theatre and Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For humor, creativity, and fun are a big part of how I teach. At the same time I am serious about being disciplined in regular practice. I try to find out what my students are passionate about and use that as motivation. One thing I do compared to my past teachers is use technology. Frankly this technology did not exist when I was young! I often "sample" musical phrases and have them play on a loop. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums
Of course, every student is different, and an integral part of my philosophy involves getting to know each student so that I may learn their creative preferences, strengths, and weaknessness. I do not shy away from books, I do indeed enjoy working out of the Hal Leonard collection because I appreciate the step by step structure. This may apply less to guitar, however, if the student's primary ambitions are to learn songs by Green Day or The Beatles, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm an active and versatile piano instructor who loves working with students with motivation and wide-range of musical interest! I studied film scoring and piano performance with recognized pianists and composers in the field at Berklee and earned Bachelor degree in double majors and a minor. In my early age, I won piano competitions in Korea, which gave me an opportunity to perform in Taiwan. At Berklee, my performance study focuses on diverse genres such as jazz, classical, and world music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My teaching method is based primarily on helping my students develop the skills needed to understand the language of music so that then they can create performances that are compelling and fulfilling to both the audience and themselves. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and prefer to tailor my methods to the needs and goals of the student. For beginning piano students I tend to gravitate towards Faber's Piano Adventures to help us work and develop the fundamental skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Defining moment when I switched from astronomy to Music was at age 14. It was hearing Arthur Grumiax play Paganini's 4th violin concerto. Fell in love!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Currently the Prokofiev 2nd piano concerto 1st movement (the most inspired out of the 4 movements). For violin the Benjamin Britton concerto for violin and orchestra.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Aeronautics engineering and Astronomy! I have an engineering type mind which helps with teaching and zeroing on issues, and helping students solve their problems with the instrument.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. My mother played piano and still does at 84. Dad played harmonica and loved Luis Armstrong and Harry Bela Fonte. Sister plays guitar and listened to rock, Christian gospel etc.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical. Tis the deepest most profound music ever created! Especially the best music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. 2nd tier would be Brahms, Schubert and Schumann, then Prokofieff, Rachmaninoff, Wagner etc. etc.
Having said that I have played electric violin in a rock band a few times and found it exhilarating! I play a lot of music from many genres, especially when accompanying singers on piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Started piano at 3 and violin at 9. Viola in College. After advancing on violin, adding the viola was the next natural evolution as it allows one to have the widest access to great repertoire. Viola allows one to play even some of the great cello repertoire like the Bach sonatas and Elgar/Dvorak cello concertos.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance. I chose it because of my love for music and the violin. Since finding good teachers was such a rare event, I had to learn to solve many problems myself (via books, asking other professionals etc.) which laid the foundation for how I teach today. Many of my teachers were big names who alas could not teach.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
After tuning (violin/viola), it is good to begin playing something for fun to get in the mood. After a few minutes of that, one must begin focused work. I use a set of criteria on what to observe while practicing so problems are overcome quickly.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano I use Alfreds adult beginner book I. For very young students I start them on easier books. The Alfreds is easy enough for most kids above 7 and adults. With easier books students progress too slowly.
For violn/viola I use the Tune a day series. For more advanced students we go onto sevcik, Kreutzer etudes etc.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Discipline to practice regularly and practice with Awareness. Many times students practice without observing what they are doing. This habituates mistakes and bad habits. It is the teacher's responsibility to teach them how to listen with awareness.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some have been accepted on scholarships to Regional state orchestral camps. Others have been accepted on scholarships to All State Orchestral festivals. They have gone on to excel in their professions.

I'd love to learn piano well enough to play at home, maybe also for friends and family. I'm an older woman who fell in love with music in high school.
Caroline
Never learned to play the right way. Know nothing, but can play a small simple songs. By ear. Need to learn music theory and desperate for learning sight reading.
