“My main goal with a student is to understand how to play clarinet in an easy way.”

Piano / Honolulu

“My goal is not just to teach students how to play, but to help them grow in music, as well as in character. As a teacher, I take a personal interest in every student as an individual and I aim to touch their hearts through music. Helping students find joy in piano is my primary objective. Often practicing can be repetitive and tedious, especially technical exercises. However, those exercises and practices are necessary for progress. By teaching them music theories and histories, they have a better understanding and can adopt the music and express themselves. When guided by proper technique, unnecessary repetitions are minimized to allow them to find joy in music. Most of all, by revealing the wonderful world of music to them and showing them how exciting it is to play and enjoy the music, students seem to experience the music from their heart. ”

“My goal as a teacher is to help each student develop a unique and meaningful relationship with music. I believe that it is only through direct and honest engagement with this art form, that music can make a profound impact in one's life. My students engage in a variety of activities that not only nurture fundamental musical skills, but consistently present challenges for exploration and experimentation.”

Voice / Ewa Beach or Online

“He or she may have a beautiful voice but if it is not connected to a passionate heart, which the listener can feel within themselves, then the passion will only be larynx-deep. To me, being a great singer means being able to communicate not only through the voice but through the face and body. To be called "great" you have to be an excellent interpreter of the music and the text.”
