Sharon K.

Private tutor in Milpitas, CA

Education

I am a graduate of the University of California, Davis with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors (granted June 2013) in Music and Spanish. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching + Teaching Credential (Multiple Subject) with English Learner authorization from Santa Clara University (granted June 2015). I have studied piano under Ester Dizon, Darrell Leffler, and Marilyn Swan.

Experience

I am a classically trained Bay Area piano teacher and active member of MTAC (Santa Clara County Branch). Over the past decade, I have had the pleasure of working with students of all ages and abilities. I am experienced in preparing students for recital performances and musical examinations (including ABRSM, AP Music Theory, Certificate of Merit, and RCM). I believe in helping students develop a strong musical foundation. There are no shortcuts. This will take time, but it is worth the effort because the skills and knowledge acquired can then be applied to any piece of music that students want to learn. To build on this foundation, my students have choices in which supplemental pieces they wish to work on. This could include anything from TV themes/film scores to classical/jazz piano to contemporary music to Broadway hits. The more students enjoy their lessons and the music they're learning, the more they will learn, study, practice, and progress. If you have any questions about my musical education, teaching philosophy, or professional experience, please feel free to send me a message at any time. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
