I tend to stress fundamentals when it comes to what my philosophy of teaching is. I argue that the more time is spent on fundamentals, the better technique the student will have later on. The challenge comes into play with the fact the fundamentals can get tedious and boring! It is my duty to share creativity and fun ways of practicing the basics so my students can grow while enjoying what they are doing! Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my collage days, as I began teaching private piano lesson part time ten years ago, and I'm still teaching students at their home. and after i did my vocal training I started teaching vocal for the past 4 years pop and rock music with some help from classical vocalises for breathing techniques and other benefits. in piano teach classical mostly and I use my first piano adventure for young students.

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola
For beginning students, I typically start with the Suzuki Method while combining it with the Essential Elements Method. As the student learns the fundamentals I gradually add scales and exercises to further develop the student's technique. After further progress, I begin to introduce solo repertoire and add other pieces. I'm fairly flexible on what pieces the student may play in the lessons, as long as the rudiments and classic repertoire are covered. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Whether you are totally new to piano or a seasoned player wishing to brush up your skills, I can help you develop an in-depth experience with piano. During lessons I emphasize skill development in developing proper technique, critical thinking and listening, creative problem-solving, efficient practice, and attention to separating the different elements in the music in order to pay closer attention to detail. With repertoire, I work closely with each individual student tailoring their own custom lists with a mix of genres and difficulty levels. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Seeing my students develop a passion for music is so amazing experience. It's so important to me to care each of student's different own their pace. I encourage this by setting a goals for my students at each lesson. And also having a lots of conversation with student is important feature for my teaching. Because each of student have a different vision and passion about music, without understanding what they have a feeling of music, teaching will be useless. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
It has always been my joy when I see my students later on perform music that they love. Thus, I as a music teacher, would be more than willing to help my students sing and make music at their own level and eventually climbs up the musical ladder. To do this, setting standards and specific and realistic objectives are a must. During the process, regular assessments are done so that students know their accomplishments and feel more comfortable making music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Get the right set-up for you. Whether you prefer to concentrate in a quiet practice room, or somewhere with more stimulation, try to be consistent with your choice - this will help you enter the right mindset when you begin to practice.
Just playing through your music isn’t the same as practicing. Start with the end in mind - by having a goal for each practice session before you start playing, you will find your progress much more quickly and effectively. Then, break each goal down into smaller, focused objectives. You will also feel a sense of accomplishment as you complete each goal.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For many kids, just having access to musical instruments piques their interest. Do you have a piano in your house, or know someone who does? Does your child sit at the piano and bang on the keys to make "beautiful" music? Does your elder child have a drum set that your youngest is obsessed with? Perhaps hiring a private tutor or looking into local lessons are in order. You'll find out pretty quickly how interested they are in music based on how they react to practice and lesson time.f you do decide to take the formal lesson route, it is important to set ground rules with your child about lesson and practice time
When will I start to see results?
Most people just want to know how long it will take until they feel fairly competent if placed in front of a piano. This is where we really need to define what “fairly competent” means to you.
I would say on average a child that started from a young age that was consistent in practicing well and often, would likely be able to start this type of music by high school. So let’s estimate about 10 years. Pianists that begin as adults will likely take longer. Part of the reason could be just because it is harder to be a consistent practice. The other, less popular reason, is that children just are able to learn faster. It’s sad but true. Missing out on those early years of practicing does make a difference.
The 10 years I mention can be much shorter, that’s why you see 7-year-old piano prodigies. Prodigies like this are not as magical as you may think. If you start when you’re 2 and your parent teaches you daily, you can reach that level is often half the time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in high school, Band teacher encouraged me to always practice and gave me confidence that I could do well. The teacher comforted me when I was tired and allowed me to practice again. When I was worried about going to college, I helped me to go to the school that was most suitable for me.
She was not only supportive but always told me that I would do great things one day. She would teach us that no matter what job we chose, we could make a difference. It takes hard work and a positive attitude. She was such an inspiration.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started learning piano at the age of six and liked music. Later I heard the sound of the trumpet coming from the radio, and I was impressed by the sound of a beautiful melodious instrument. So I decided to learn the trumpet and began to work on it, so I practiced hard and got into university as a major music performance. After graduation, I studied master and taught many plays and teaching.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes. My Trumpet students have got into of regional audition every year even the 1st pace and they have good experience of having a good bergen regional orchestra concert. it makes them have more encouraging, confidently enjoy and love music more. Also, some of my students won awards of the east coast competition and New York Artist International Competition and Winners' recital was at Weill recital hall at Carnegie Hall. I was so proud of my students because they were really practicing hard with the patient even sometimes tired.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Alfred piano series books. lesson, solo, theory and technic book, it also dives into intervallic reading, as described above. Many true, albeit arranged, baroque, romantic, and classical piano pieces are featured without a lot of fluff and fanfare. This may be an ideal method for more serious, self-motivated students. The Alfred method is featured in a variety of books, including an all-in-one piano course for children, a prep course, and a basic piano library, completely correlated and presented in progressive levels.
