The study of piano and necessary piano lessons incorporates all the elements of music and is central to many different styles. My method of combining classical study with popular music through ear training encourages the students to practice and master their instrument.
Many students try to learn guitar on their own but give up after a while because they find it is more complicated than they thought. My methods for guitar lessons insure your child will enjoy playing, while learning the important skills of reading chord charts and effective strum patterns. They will be playing their favorite songs in no time.
Students may choose the flute in school because it looks and sounds beautiful, but it is extremely important to develop proper breath control and technique to be successful. My flute lessons instruction will help them exceed their expectations.
What is unique about the saxophone is that it is a versatile instrument. It is perfectly at home on the marching field, concert band and jazz improvisation group. My methods of saxaphone lessons encourage the exploration of many genres and the different approach to each style.
This instrument has a warm tone if played properly and taught correctly. The same skills can also apply to other reed instruments. My approach to clarinet lessons will help the student play smoothly between the lower and upper ranges, which leads to playing songs they enjoy.
With a brass instrument, it is all about the embouchure! With proper training,a trumpet lessons student will be able to develop a wide range, correct articulation and an excellent tone. The trumpet is such an important instrument in the school programs, and I can help your student reach their desired goals.
There are many things to learn about the violin that will make the difference between becoming an excellent player and a mediocre one. With my private violin lessons, these techniques are developed and improved at an individual pace. With dedication, they can be ready for the first section of the orchestra.
The voice is our own personal instrument and needs to be taught differently from any other instrument. Students will be taught proper breath control, musical range, vocal warm up skills, theory and style. Your child will be prepared to sing in a school talent show, choir or theatre production.

This is a family business taught in my home for over 10 years. I raised my children in Walnut, and they were also a part of the band and choir programs at WVUSD. I recently relocated a few miles away to West Covina and we take students from West Covina and surrounding cities.
Music has made such a difference in my students’ lives, many of whom I have had from elementary to high school. I have seen them get into the wind ensemble, rejoiced with them when they made it to first chair and even seen some of them go on to pursue music in college. Many students take two instruments; piano with an instrument to play in band or orchestra. I continue to get positive feedback from my students’ parents and this is one of the reasons I love having my own business. I know the demands of a great education and the importance of mastering an instrument too.
I am grateful for the musical gift God has given me and I feel very blessed to teach such wonderful students. I look forward to helping your child discover their talents!
I believe in total immersion of music. What does that mean? My lessons include classical study, music theory, composition, playing by ear and exploring all the various styles of music. Studying the masters such as Bach and Beethoven has been proven to enhance intelligence. Music theory is the knowledge of scales, intervals, chord progressions and so much more. With composition, students will be able to write their own music. Learning to play by ear, my students can bring in a song they want to play, and I will teach them how to find the melody on the keys and feel the rhythmic pattern. By exploring other styles, students are able to enhance their taste in music. I individualize each student’s lesson to fit their particular learning abilities, and I teach all levels from beginning to advanced. I give a lot of positive constructive feedback during the lesson and we have a good time while they are learning.
Learning to play an instrument should be fun as well as disciplined. I have a high success rate of students mastering their instrument because I understand the importance of making the music lessons fun and finding excellent music to practice. It is similar to finding a good book to improve reading; every person likes something different. If students play songs they enjoy, they are more likely to practice and learn theory while doing it. When students practice, they improve. I expect my students to practice at least 30 minutes 5 days a week....
This is a family business taught in my home for over 10 years. I raised my children in Walnut, and they were also a part of the band and choir programs at WVUSD. I know the demands of a great education and the importance of mastering an instrument too. I know that your child may have many activities and that is why I believe in being flexible in my scheduling. With advance notice, I can reschedule easily and set up extra time when the student needs help to prepare for a school performance.
My students also enjoy participating in a yearly recital to show off their difficult pieces they have mastered such as “Maple Leaf Rag” or “Moonlight Sonata”. Many students perform two instruments and some perform their own song they have composed. All their friends and family are invited to celebrate the students hard work and talent. Recitals give the students a goal that helps them focus on practice. The recital becomes a family event that makes the child the center of attention for the day. We celebrate the event with food and with the other families which creates a community as well. The students get to know the other students and most have stayed in lessons for years so the students grow up together. The recital gives the student an opportunity to perform in front of others which develops confidence. The recital is a great way to inspire students to master their instrument.
