Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is individualized to meet the needs of the students. I like to use a portion of the first lesson to discuss the goals and musical interest of the student regardless of age. I encourage beginner students to learn basic theory to develop rudimentary skills. I then try to incorporate a student’s favorite music into the lesson plans. I also strongly encourage voice and guitar students to write their own music to promote self expression. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

When I first start working with my voice students I like to learn where you are at, with any previous vocal training, what techniques you may or may not know, and where you are at musically with sight reading and theory. It is really important to have the fundamentals down in order to have a strong base to grow from and add musicality and stylization. For more advanced students I again like to meet you where you are and incorporate some of the techniques that I have that will help you grow to the next level and give you the ability to perform any kind of genre and style of music because you have strong core techniques.

I started to teach group music class and private lesson when I was in undergraduate. I always try to bring everything I learned from performance, music education, observing other music teacher and my own experience to every music lesson I gave. Practicing consistently is the most important way to make the lesson experience more pleasant and worthwhile. Other than introducing the music to my students, I also encourage them to perform, because sharing music is also part of the learning process. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

The technique that I've developed over the years is that while guiding the students through the singing process, I keep them focused on findingandconnectingwiththeir voices. Without a sense of "feeling what you're singing, it's difficult at best to connect with an audience. I produce annual showcases to give my students the opportunity to perform. Read More
