I teach lessons tailored to the individual student's needs. I use a variety of books and my own supplemental materials, and also include listening in lessons. In every lesson I focus on warm ups, technique, sight reading, and performance repertoire. I am very open to having the student bring in songs they want to learn or work on specific things they are interested in. I always try to make the lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible, as well as educational. I have been teaching private music lessons for over 3 years and have taught many students ages 5 through adult. I teach saxophone to the advanced level and beginning piano and clarinet. I can also tutor and teach music theory, music history, world music, and composition. My speciality is jazz and improvisation.

The student's needs come first, so I always teach based on their long-term goals. Learning music should be fun, so I encourage this while pushing student's to be the best. Music has been the most important thing in my life for all my life. I love to bring that passion out in my students. Flute is a tool, a wonderful tool, for speaking the language of music. I am a working, free-lance flutist here in LA. I have my BM degree in flute performance from CSUN, and have been playing for 28 years. I have always been the top or one of the top players in all venues I have played for. I currently play for many orchestras in southern california. I have been teaching all levels of flute for 20 years now. I also teach beginning to intermediate piano. Over a span of nearly 30 years, I have studied with some amazing flutists/teachers, and learned some wonderful teaching techniques.

I believe that the goal of education is to teach children that leaning can be fun and meaningful. I think that this can be done by making sure that the learning environment is rich with multiple resources for students. There should be manipulatives for math, and all learning should be hands-on and active to meet the needs of every type of learner in the classroom. I believe that the role of the teacher should be as a facilitator where the teacher acts like a mentor and guides learning. The teacher should be an expert in everything that is being taught but should expect the children to guide their own learning. A teacher should hold high expectations on their students and should always follow through on those expectations. I believe that students should be self-directed learners who are guided by the teacher. As long as there are many rich resources in the classroo

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn with patience, perseverance, and if appropriate methods are applied.

I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it. In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started workin

I have an extensive educational background in instructing and teaching students in grades K-12. With work experience in public, private, homeschool, and charter school settings, I have acquired the ability to coordinate scholastic lesson plans and promote student achievement by recognizing an individual's personal learning style and adapting my teaching style accordingly. I am able to teach and tutor in multiple subjects; however, my preferred student age group is elementary education. Helping children to learn to the best of their ability is so rewarding to me! I have a natural rapport with students. They sense that I am genuinely interested in assisting them to achieve academic success. My personality is one that nurtures and encourages.
