Sometimes musicianship is as much "caught" as it is "taught." So, it's important to carefully monitor and foster a student's progress. I will use a lot of coaching, affirmation, reassurance, and encouragement to fuel a student's progress and desire to stay with it. Training in several disciplines help to identify and cater my teaching style to the needs of the student. I don't use a "cookie cutter" approach to teaching. Read More

I am not a passive bystander at lessons; I jump right into the music and guide students on how to best read and play each song. A theory-centered approach to piano is very important. When your child takes lessons, he or she won't merely learn how to play piano, but how to understand and love all music. Every child is capable of learning how to play piano and of being proud of what they have accomplished. Read More

I enjoy teaching because I love sharing my talent. I love watching others learn about their quirks and what they are best at, and my job is to help them find that quirk and use it! I do set realistic goals for my students, but we will work diligently to make sure every part of the material is understood, before continuing. I want my student to feel confident in their self before they move on. Read More

Having played piano from a young age, music has always been a big part of my life. I was classically trained in piano for 12 years, from age 5 through the end of high school. During college, I was able to continue independently building upon my musical abilities because of my strong foundation in music and previous years of training. I took several music courses at Chaffey College, which contributed to my earning an Associate's degree in University Studies: Arts and Humanities, after which I transferred to California Polytechnic University, Pomona where I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Geography.

In addition, I like to incorporate my student's interests into their goals. For instance, for my guitar students, I like to set a realistic goal (a song they want to be able to play) and tailor my lessons towards my student being able to play that, while at the same time learning their fundamentals, or whatever else is in their lesson plan for that session. I find this to be both rewarding and inspiring. Read More
