Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn
My lessons are very structured, but within the structure is a lot of freedom. An hour long lesson might look something like this: First 10 min.: Warm-ups, discussion about posture, hand position and muscular/skeletal health while playing. Next 10 min.: Performance of previous weeks assignments, with discussion about whether preparation was adequate, what was missed (usually dynamics and other articulations) and what could be done to improve. Next 10 min.: Based half on performance and half on my own ideas, work on a number of techniques to strengthen the weaknesses the student is facing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I have a strong foundation in music education and have had the opportunity to teach privately, all ages and to lead large and small ensembles in rehearsals and performance. I have taught private lessons for years and all through my BFA as well as my Masters. I have experience leading my own groups and have co-lead on many occasions. I have in-depth training in performance and a vast body of original compositions. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano since 2010. I started teaching part-time on weekends at the best music academy in Thailand called "KPN Music Academy" having more than 50 branches nationwide. After I graduated from law school in Thailand, I started teaching 2 branches of KPN and I also provided private lessons to students at home. Overall, I taught over 30 kids and among them achieved successful results from Trinity College London Piano Examination (at least pass with merits). Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
For beginning students, I will usually go with a methods book, requiring them to learn 5 finger patterns, and then eventually major and minor scales(all three forms). Once the student has progressed from the beginner methods book, I will suggest classical repertoire for each student based on their preferences and personal skill level. If the lessons are in person, I will have a white board where we will learn note names, chords, and other fun theory exercises. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Organ French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
Talented, friendly, experienced, and faithful musician who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2017, I graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music theory and composition. Performing with friends and in churches, symphonic and marching bands has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician. I took classical lessons from age 9 to 13 and learned jazz and classical music theory through my education at arts high school and at Harvard University. Read More

I have been teaching private lessons for the past few years with students ranging from beginners to college age. I am constantly learning more from all my students. I have worked with larger groups in the Somerville Public Schools, Tufts Community Music Program and the Salem YMCA Summer Program. Read More

Generally layed back low pressure lessons, but I will push a student if they let me. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. 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.
