Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.Any method i feel fit for the student any method I feel the student wants Read More
Instruments: Piano
Music is my life and I believe that, above all else, my passion to share the love of music is my most effective asset! Having graduated from Oberlin College, studied at Berklee College of Music, toured as a keyboardist on a national hip hop tour, pursued a Kpop career in Seoul, produced and conceived of a music film in Cape Town, and currently through my teaching/composing/producing work here in New York City, I believe that my rich and diverse set of musical experiences have shaped a very hopeful and motivated musical perspective and sensibility, one which I hope to share.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Music Keyboard
For absolute beginner students of any age, we begin outside of a book as the best way to learn is from personal experience. With wind players for example, we work on breathing, posture, and hand position as these three components help students produce a quality sound in as comfortable of a way as possible. Moving into more formal studies, I used the Standard of Excellence series for young children and the Rubank series for more intermediate students. Read More

My teaching experience started when I was in high school. A lot of children in my neighborhood wanted to learn violin and piano, I suddenly became the neighborhood teacher at just 17! After college I continued teaching privately. I have also taught in public and privet schools. My main passion in teaching is to help ANYONE who wants the gift of playing an instrument. What a thrill it is to see the smile on my students faces when they get on stage and enjoy playing their solo in a recital, or watching my students play in an orchestra. Read More

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.
