About the tutor
I've been playing piano for 18 years and teaching for 8, and I’m passionate about helping students develop their skills while fostering a genuine love for music. I graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a degree in music composition, and throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to receive various awards for my work, including the MACEF Illustrious Award. As both a pianist and composer, I believe that music is more than just technique, it’s a powerful form of creativity and self-expression. My approach to teaching focuses on building strong fundamentals while also encouraging students to explore their own musical voice. Whether a student is just beginning their journey or looking to refine their skills, I strive to create a positive and engaging learning environment that makes playing the piano both rewarding and enjoyable. Above all, my goal is to inspire confidence, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for music in every student I teach.

As a dedicated piano tutor, I offer engaging, motivational, and creative lessons tailored for students of all levels, including school-aged learners, college students, and adult or professional musicians. My teaching style is highly adaptable and supportive, ensuring that each student's unique learning needs, goals, and musical interests are met with personalized guidance. I strive to create a positive and inspiring environment where students feel encouraged to explore their musical abilities with confidence.

My approach incorporates personalized feedback, structured practice strategies, and interactive exercises that make learning both effective and enjoyable. To foster creativity, I integrate improvisation and composition activities, allowing students to express themselves while building a deeper connection to their instrument. Above all, my goal is to nurture a lifelong love for music, helping students grow into confident, expressive, and passionate musicians.
