I studied music with the intention to be the teacher I wanted as a youth. I am kind, patient, and creative. I have perfected a process to where 30 minutes of conceptualization matched with strategic practice, will help you get much closer to your goal, in half the time. why should it take years to master an instrument? The traditional approaches used are good, but people desire to make gains quickly. Read More

I started playing acoustic folk styles in 1962 and added 60's rock and more as time went on. I joined my first rock band in 1965 and have now played all styles of rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass, jazz, and contemporary Christian and worship music. I also play and teach bass and other stringed fretted instruments, keyboards, and drums and percussion. I began teaching private music lessons in 1968 and began teaching professionally in 1989 at AZ Bible College. Read More

For all students, I teach them exercises to strenghten their fundamentals and skills in the given instrument, and each lesson we practice the exercises to focus on improving their sound production, pitch finding, placement, and more. We also learn songs that both the student and I choose and prepare for performance (when necessary). Here are the books I work from for each instrument, but please note that I don't necessarily use these for every student, only when appropriate: GUITAR: Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method (books 1 through 3) VOICE: Master Vocal Exercises by Horatio Connell, and Sightsinging (Hal Leonard) BASS GUITAR: Bass Method, (Hal Leonard, books 1 through 3) TRUMPET: Essential Elements 2000, (Hal Leonard, books 1 through 3) 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

I have studied under Jason Beaudreau who is a 25+ year jazz veteren and have educated myself for years as well. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The first time I taught I was about 15-years-old and it ignited a passion for sharing my musical experiences with others! I started teaching an 8-year-old and from there had the opportunity to teach people from all over the world! I've taught people from places like Tonga, Ghana, England, Wales, and China. My students have not only become better at guitar but had a great time while doing it! I've found it works best to teach the foundational skills using the students' favorite genre of music. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Hello, thank you for viewing my profile. I see myself as a lifelong student and believe knowledge and skills should be nurtured and passed on and get a great sense of accomplishment from teaching. I am a recent graduate from Arizona State University having earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance studying the classical guitar. Prior to that I was a self-taught electric player playing at local churches and playing with local bands before beginning a formal education. 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!
