“My mission is to provide personalized music lessons for children, teens, and adults in the East Bay, specializing in piano, guitar, bass, drums, and music production.”
“My goal is to inspire a love for music and help students of all ages achieve their unique musical goals.”
Flexibility in Approach – I believe that every student learns differently, and it’s my job to find the right fit for each individual, whether it’s reading-first or a learn-by-ear approach. As students grow and their goals change, I adjust my teaching to match their evolving musical journey.
Nurturing Curiosity – My ultimate aim is to plant the seeds of wonder in my students, so they’re drawn to pick up their instrument out of sheer curiosity and joy, not because they feel like they have to.
Balanced Learning – Whether we’re working on reading music or committing pieces to memory, I believe both paths are equally important. By blending these approaches, I help my students build a strong foundation that allows them to explore music in a deeper way.
Encouraging Creativity – Music is a personal journey, and I want my students to find their own voice on their instrument. Whether we’re putting a unique twist on a song or composing something new, I support them in expressing their creativity.
Patience and Growth – I see music learning like tending a garden. With regular practice, patience, and a playful spirit, students can watch their creativity bloom naturally, with the seasons.
