Overview:
I’m passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston 1996 and completed studies in composition and arranging with teachers: Donny Nolan, Phil Wilson, Dan Moretti. Majored in piano performance with teachers: Joanne Brackeen, Kenny Werner and Lyle Mays.  Graduated and received Performance Major Diploma in Music. Studied at the YAMAHA Music Academy in Japan. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experience of my life as a musician.
EXPERIENCE
My teaching experience started 1990 after received certificate from YAMAHA Music Academy in Japan. Encouraging regular practice on a consist schedule is one of key points I like to emphasis for younger students as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. My students are encouraged to enter recitals as well as work on composing their original materials so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn. I am always looking to bring on new students of all ages.
METHODS USED
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard’s essential elements. Once the students 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 students is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lesson engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I ‘ve also certificated Yamaha Methods and Suzuki Methods when I was teaching in Japan.
LESSON STYLE
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it is 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 student’s desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Any ages and levels are welcome!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
