Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Music was created to be ENJOYABLE (meaning it "brings IN JOY" to our souls) - therefore everything about it should be just that! My teaching style is much like my personality - Fun, laid back, with a good balance of buckling down when needed, joyful & a perfectionist. I will push my students gently & encourage them to learn the styles THEY want in a very professional and multi-faceted way. Having worked with thousands of kids & teenagers, I've learned that charisma is contagious & when given the proper tools & support, they can do exceedingly & abundantly more than what they (or I) could ever imagine!

My teaching experience didn't really begin until a few years ago. I began "shadowing" other teachers that I knew who founded The Music Bus Rocks, a local business that focuses on teaching young musicians-to-be, and I immediately became hooked with the process of teaching something that I loved. My experience has mostly been with kids and young adults, but I always believe that no one is too old to learn an instrument. Read More

I have almost 30 years of experience as a recording and performing musician. I studied in Detroit, London and Los Angeles, and recieved my BA in music and Performing Arts in 20011. Since then I have made a living writing pop songs and movie soundtracks, performing and teaching. I consistently write 5 songs a week, and then select and develop the best material into a finished product. I continue to study all aspects of music from theory to technique to composition and performance. Read More

I am a passionate and dedicated musician with a broad range of experiences both in education and performance. As a solo artist, I have toured the United States extensively, and have performed at festivals in the Caribbean and Denmark. Having performed and taught music in so many styles, I feel I can bring a lot of perspective to each lesson. I earned my Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Texas in 2015, and have really settled in to the Central Texas community. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
For beginning students, I typically start with simple traditional songs that they know. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For advanced beginners to intermediate-level students, I try to find out what interests the student may have, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun—no matter their ability level.

I began teaching music in my college days. I was a music director in the public schools. I have been consistently teaching music in my home studio for the past 11 years. I am passionate about being a teacher and teaching students of all ages. I enjoy teaching classical music because it is a firm foundation for all other genres of music. If one can play classical, they can play anything. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My step-father had a used, generic-brand alto saxophone in the back of his closet from his days of playing in school bands. When the time came for me to choose an elective for junior high, I chose band as I always liked both the look of the saxophone as well as its sound (as heard from many selections of pop music in a variety of specific genres).
But I must tell you that music (school band with the saxophone) was my only extra-curricular activity. Coming from a large family, that was all we could afford, and failure was not an option. So, I practiced at least 2-3 hours every single day! The saxophone accompanied me to friends' houses, on family vacations to see distant relatives, at church functions...as long as everyone was awake I played. I played because I wanted to achieve certain results (e.g., specific techniques, the ability to master various songs, etc.)
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a musician of over 27 years now, I have had the blessing to perform with many bands, ensembles, and choirs in New York, California, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Texas. As a fully-certified music educator of 13 years in both New Jersey and Texas, I'm also grateful for leading numerous bands, ensembles, and choral groups...at the height of it all, I'd say I'm still learning to be a better musician--that I've got so much work to do!
So many venues, so many musical genres, and I place performance as the cornerstone of what I do as a music educator. If I absolutely had to pinpoint a specific performance, well, I had the rare opportunity to perform with the late James Moody (saxophonist) and his band not once but twice during the Summer of 1996 in North Carolina. The experience inspired me to play saxophone forever!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
When I taught middle school band to at-risk youth at a charter school in Southern New Jersey during my first two years of teaching, I was adviser of Tri-M (Modern Music Masters). All of my section leaders (1st Chair students from my Advanced-level band) were inducted into this national junior honor society of musicians, which is a division of NAFME: The National Association For Music Education (of which I am a proud member). These kids got to perform often outside of regular band performances, and most were also members of my Pep/Jazz Band.
I've had students who went on to pursue music education as a major in college, but one saxophone student stands out: Austin was a senior in high school whose father is an alumnus of the legendary Texas A&M Band (also a saxophonist). When Austin came to me during his final year of high school, he had never played any instrument...but he was determined to follow in his father's footsteps and join his Alma Mater band. With my instruction and guidance, I held Austin to very high standards and behold: He passed the audition and come this fall he will already be a senior in the Texas A&M band!
