My teaching experience dates back to my high school years, as I assisted in arranging and directing performances for my high school's Varsity Men's chorus. During my undergraduate years, I was involved in the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities' School of Music University Singers, Chamber Singers, Gospel Choir, and Madrigal Singers; these groups allowed me to serve as a section leader, soloist, and as a conductor for classes on advanced choral conducting.

In my time at Berklee I was able to study with George Garzone among other great minds, and helped pay my way by working as a music theory tutor in the college's Core Music Tutoring department. During school I founded a fusion/hip-hop/RB/neo-Soul group, Sangama, to bring some of my compositions to life; and performed/recorded with/co-wrote and arranged with/toured with a progressive folk group, BAERD.

Instruments: Piano Voice
As far as methods, I do not believe that there is one system that will work for every student, and so I try to find the right combination for each individual. For piano students I begin with a combination of Alfred and Faber method books, and also teach different scales for technique. For voice students I try to pick a combination of vocal exercises, classical music and contemporary music based on the student’s unique voice. Students learn best from music they are passionate about. What is most important is finding the right songs for each person. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music! Its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals at each lesson and by pointing out and acknowledging growth and success that each student has. By engaging in what inspires a student I tailor my instruction to their interests and needs. Read More

My methods vary on the student and subject. Beginning students will typically focus more on technical pieces of music to improve on certain aspects of a few pieces to perform. More advanced students will still practice technical parts of their music, but less time will be spent on it during a lesson. Advanced level students will spend more time on repertoire and performance. The more advanced a student gets, the more I expect them to practice outside of lessons and apply their newly learned technical skills into their music on their own. Read More

I will always prefer to have hour-long lessons with my students. I feel this length of time gives both the student and the teacher the best chance of having a successful lesson each time they meet. Some may say its a high bar to meet for every lesson, every week, but I accept nothing less from myself and hold high expectations for my students in the hopes they meet them. Read More

My entire life, I have been dedicated to the study of music. From my early childhood education to present day gigs and songwriting, music has always been a centerpiece of my life. I have performed all around the world and am incredibly grateful for the learning experiences I have been blessed with. Around age 11 was when I first played the saxophone in jazz band, and when we started learning about chord progressions and improvising, that's what really cemented my love and study of music.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably be Schumann's work called Kinderszenen, which includes 13 pieces Schumann composed all inspired by his childhood in one piece. It has the most beautiful and unique music theory and harmony with so much expression and rubato. I only hope to one day play it as good as some world class pianists
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love trap/pop music. Trap is the go to groove today and it has so many good vibes in it. Trap is so fun to dance to and it is. mainstream.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play the trumpet because I thought it was such a cool instrument, and so much different from the piano. I wanted to go outside of my comfort zone, it all trained me so much as a singer and taught me about breathing and circular breathing.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father is so gifted with music and he plays by ear. He is an insane guitarist and can play pretty much anything. He really inspired my to pursue my musical endeavors
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician the minute I entered a summer intensive program when I was 15 years old. I knew from that moment, that there was nothing else I wanted to do with my life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would probably have to say I would want to open up my own bakery. In my free time, I love to bake homemade dessert and love to watch culinary arts
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I really recommend Faber and Alfred to Beginner and Intermediate students. Faber has a very great structure in their materials especially from Primer to Levels 1-4B. It organizes both music theory and music expression in a great and fun way or students. For teenagers and adults looking for advanced material, I highly recommend using Hanon, Bastion, Schirmer's library of Chopin, Beethoven, or any other composers they want to study.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is asking the student how their week has been, what they would like to warm up with, I typically review any music theory or material we went through the previous week, and move on to new music as they are more comfortable and building up sight reading skills, For little ones, and students in beginner, I incorporate lots of games and activities to make music lessons fun.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a music degree in Songwriting and Composition because it is what I am most passionate about. Ever since 7, I have written my own music and wrote songs as a vocalist and pianist. My classical training has allowed me to have the knowledge to compose creative and inspiring music of multi genres.
