He made it an enjoyable and fun experience for me and I desire to do the same for any student I get the privilege to teach. I love exploring the untapped potential in my students, celebrating with them when they understand a new concept or learn a new skill on their instrument. One of my favorite things is watching my students grow as musicians over the time I get to teach them. Read More

For piano students I highly recommend the Alfreds books for beginners. After you have some background we can work with the music of your choice, classical, jazz, pop, RnB etc. Some of my specialties include teaching people how to turn chord charts into music, how to improvise and how to use music theory to improve your understanding of music. For guitar I do not use any books as I find most guitar method books to be very old fashioned and not inviting to the student. Read More

I like to teach and talk about the songs and styles that were taught to me by my father when I was just getting in to music and guitar. The first thing I remember learning were "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, which is actually simpler than most people would expect. The basic standards of guitar were taught to me when I was first learning, and that's what excites me to teach to the next generation of guitarists. Read More

I feel that teaching is not just a job but a calling. After 30 plus years of performing I feel now is the time to share my skills and experience to the next generation of musicians. I believe my job as a teacher is now just to show different methods but to motivate the students to practice and become a lover of the piano. My goals for the student is to measure their own weekly growth. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz music is my favorite to play because it stimulates the brain in many different ways. I was introduced to it at a young age and immediately took interest in how all the notes were being played. When I found out that they weren't looking at music when playing, I thought it was the best thing I'd ever learned! The art of improvisation is very complex and it's an ever-growing form of music. The interaction between all the members playing in a jazz setting is one of the coolest things to witness once the genre is explored in the slightest.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
When I began saxophone, I knew I wanted to eventually play all the different types and with the help of my school's music program, I was able to before going to college. I started with the alto saxophone which is of course, the most popular amongst students. Then I went on to play the Baritone sax in marching band and tenor and soprano after that. While in University, we were challenged with the task of mastering other woodwind instruments that helped expand our canvas of sound. I've also experimented with drum technique and basic piano.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music doesn't run in my immediate family. It does, however, have influence over a small group of cousins. The same cousin that inspired me to pick up the sax also sings and plays guitar. I learned a lot from him by learning from ear and not being intimidated by playing in front of others. I use to watch him perform with rock and funk bands. His dad is also the lead singer in his own band. They play often at different venues around the city I grew up in. Their family is a large part of my musical journey.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in music once I learned it was possible through the knowledge of a professor from Western Michigan University. He and a group of nine played a brief show to demonstrate their skills and talk to us about the different degrees offered at WMU. We bought their CDs from them and got to talk to them directly after the show. I had such a revelation that day because I never knew that people could go to school for something like that, let alone make an entire career from it.
