Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba
I began teaching right out of High School. My Band Director hired me to teach the Summer after I graduated. I was a Full Time Band Director in the 1999-2000 School year while still in College. I have taught in Public and Private Schools from Elementary through University. I have also taught private lessons for decades now. I enjoy seeing growth in real time. Teaching can be so rewarding that way. Read More

I always start a lesson with a new student by assessing their current skill level. If the student already has a certain curriculum they are working on, I usually have them pick up from where they left off so I can see where we're at. Taking things into consideration like intonation, posture, dynamics, form etc., I either assign a new curriculum or continue on. My lessons usually consist of 3 books: a scale book, an etude book, and a leveled song book like the Suzuki method. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
Every student unique and learns in their own way. During lessons, I often compare concepts to other activities my students know and love - their favorite sport, video games, or books. I love sharing my magic tricks - shortcut exercises to make tricky passages instantly easier, and youll definitely catch me encouraging my students to listen, listen, listen! Every genre of music has something different you can learn and it adds to your own creative toolkit. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I like to emphasize learning technique through pieces, rather than practicing only technique on its own, as that can get boring very quickly! For beginning students, I like to start with the Piano Adventures series, which has pieces which are easy, teach basic techniques, but also are musically interesting. Once they have the fundamentals, we can begin working on solo repertoire that interests the student. For older students who are interested in 20th century music, I like to teach Bartok's Mikrokosmos.

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
The technique I use is based on the Alexander Method of teaching and promotes proper breath control and tone placement over volume production and belting. Most singers, young and old, come to me with the idea that to create volume, you must yell or sing from your throat. With that mindset, what oftentimes happens is the voice will give out after five years and will result in the need of surgery to remove things like vocal nodules. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The question of how to practice effectively has fascinated me for some time. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this question and have consulted with many great musicians about how they practice effectively. Below are a few principles that I follow in order to practice effectively.
1. Remember that effective practice is different for everyone: There is no one right way to practice. What is effective for one person may not be effective for somebody else. Part of growing as a musician is finding one's own unique style of practice.
2. There is a difference between playing and practicing: Practicing refers to deliberate and focused work at the piano in order to improve or learn something. Playing is freer and less constrained use of the instrument. Both practicing and playing are important, but most of your improvement comes from practicing. If you aren't attentive, much of the time you think you are spending practicing may actually be time spent playing. A helpful rule to follow is to practice BEFORE you play. Think of it like eating your dinner before having your dessert.
3. Work in small sections: When We are learning a piece, we often have the urge to play through the whole piece over and over. Usually it is far more effective to work on smaller sections at a time.
4. Record yourself practicing: This is one of absolute best things you can do to improve your practicing. When you record yourself, you will be more aware as you practice. And, when you listen back later, you will hear all kinds of things that you missed when you were practicing in the moment.
5. Slow down: The importance of slowing down cannot be understated. It is an almost universal common error for newer students to consistently try and play something faster than they are ready.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical music and in particular I am obsessed with the music of JS Bach. I find Bach's music to be refreshing because it is not at all repetitive. The structure of his music differs from most music written since. Rather than one melody supported by chords, Bach's music is usually multiple melodies, that imitate and interweave with each other. Classical music in general is very beautiful and fascinating to study as all Western music including jazz and pop is descendant from classical music.
