My teaching experience began during my undergraduate career, as I was hired by the Music Department at UC Berkeley to work with non-major music students to tutor and assist them through their music theory and musicianship courses. While receiving my masters, I began teaching private lessons part time 2 years ago, and have been consistently working with students since. I specialize with young beginning to advanced students, teaching vocal technique and introductory keyboard skills. Read More

Music should be fun. Plain and simple thats why I believe and that is whats kept me pushing forward. Its not going to always be an easy experience learning new things but that does not mean it cannot be fun. I want my students to feel like they are more than enough to play this song or sing that song. I want my students to believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. Read More

Teaching is one of the greatest joys in my life. I genuinely love helping students discover their voice whether thats through singing, playing, writing songs, or simply connecting to music in a deeper way. Watching someone gain confidence, express themselves, and grow through music is incredibly rewarding, and I feel lucky to be a part of that journey. My approach is student-centered, supportive, and personalized. I take time to understand each students unique goals, personality, and learning style so I can tailor lessons that truly fit them.

I approach teaching by focusing on the student. I find out what they need and want first. We set realistic goals together and I give them the tools to help them reach their goals. I don't want my students to be entirely dependent on me. I like to give them exercises to do on their own in between lessons so that time doesn't go to waste and they can see quicker improvement with their own practicing. Read More
