Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love working with other artist and growing professionally. One of the great things about guitar is that their is always a new chord to learn. I have played gigs all over Kansas City, and at many Churches in the area. I have found some of the most humble, genuine people who just blow your mind on stage. I'm thankful for those people in my life, and look forward to helping others as I have been helped. Read More

Whether you want to learn to play recreationally or more seriously, I want to help you connect with the music you perform and your instrument. I believe that music is a way for people to express themselves on a deep, energetic level; that it is Life expressing through us as well, and that it is an essential part of Life itself. My goal is to help each student not only learn the mechanics and fundamentals of their instrument, but to also be INSPIRED by the music they're making and sometimes creating. Read More

Nothing is more exciting than seeing one my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. " The slower you go, the faster you'll get there" - John Link Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard
I took guitar lessons, bass lessons, as well as piano lessons when I was a kid. I also interned at music studios and sat in on live audio gigs to learn that aspect as well. I have been playing for artists/bands live and in the studio (primarily on bass guitar) for almost 15 years now. From country, gospel, blues, to classic rock. Most of my experience teaching is with small children. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The key is consistency! Even practicing for just 15 minutes a day will help a student grow and learn. Singing is a game of muscle memory, so you have to be practicing on a regular basis to be successful. If you're not getting something, walk away from where you are practicing and take a break! Often I find this helps in my own practicing. Being able to take a step back and take a short break is an important life skill as well. I find that once I take a break and return to what I was doing, I can usually fix the problem!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I don't usually set a minimum age requirement, but the child should be able to read at least at the 1st grade level. The child should also be able to stay attentive for half an hour. Usually for a young student, I will break up a lesson in sections. First with breathing/warmup exercises, then, depending on their level, I will do pitch matching games and music theory games to keep them engaged while learning very important material! Ultimately at that stage, lessons should be fun and engaging for the student. If you think your child would be interested, by all means, schedule a trial lesson!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My usual practice session is about an hour long. I typically begin with warmups that help my needs specifically. Lots of scales, staccato, and high notes with warming down in between. I then look at any new music I'm learning and spend at least 15 minutes on that. I typically work backwards when learning new music! I start at the end of the song or phrase, and learn it in sections until I get to the beginning! After I've learned new music, I review music that I've already learned. When I review music, I'm implementing musicality. I pay special attention to phrasing, dynamics, and diction.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew that I wanted to sing. I have been singing from a very young age, and was participating in choirs, voice lessons, and musicals through high school. When I was thinking about what schools I was going to apply to for college, I was not planning on going to school for music. I was actually going to apply for nursing programs! Then, one day, my high school voice teacher sat me down and asked me what I saw myself doing in 10 years. I replied that I would probably be a nurse in my hometown! She then asked me if I would be truly happy doing that, and I realized that I would only truly be happy if I was singing and teaching music. I will forever be grateful to that teacher, and I'm so glad I made the decision to study music!
