Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin
I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly. This diverse background makes me relatiable to students with all different learning styles, interests, and skill sets. Read More

It depends on what the student wants to learn. I am there for them. I do make recommendations such as teaching out of a Hal Leonard instructions books (for beginners) and or CD's Play along CD's. , Chord Theories, voicing s and improvisational techniques for the intermediate students ( i.e. basic blues) if they choose to. I also like for them to record their progress (such as picking a basic tune they have learned) if possible so they can get an idea of what they sound like as another recommendation. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started to teach piano when I was in college, so I know how to communicate to students and parents, choose the right pieces, and tell them how to practice at home. In addition, I encourage students to perform and attend competitions to gain confidence and experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I can teach for precision to support the student’s goal of strictly solo performance, and I can teach for more of an open model in which the student eventually creates original music or wants to play in a band. Is playing the synthesizer a goal for the student? If so, I would like to consider having split lessons after some basic piano theory and application are acquired. I have played a couple of different acoustic instruments over my music career, and this has assisted my synth skills to transfer seamlessly to band situations in which brass and strings were needed but the talent or skill was not readily available—a synth musician can step right in and deliver the right mix that is needed!

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard
I began the study of trumpet in 1965 under the instruction of Les Beigle, noted Seattle trumpeter. In 1969, I graduated from Snohomish (WA) High School, where he played solo trumpet in the high school band under the direction of Edward Peterson. I received his Bachelor of Music degree with honors from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle in 1980. Instructors included Gary Peacock, Jim Knapp, Butch Nordal, Art Lande, and Julian Priester.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1) Start with known material to warm up and start thinking musically. Learned etudes are good for this.
2) Next do technical studies such as scales, arpeggios, use of ornaments
3) Play through new material that is going to be worked on
4) Work on the current focus project. Making sure that there are accurate pitches, correct timing, correct fingering, rhythmic accuracy and any difficult passages are given the eleven minute rule.
5) Do the work for a piece that you are going to memorize.
6) Conclude by reviewing material that has already been learned and/or memorized.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I was not able to complete my bachelors degree which was a performance degree in church music. I grew up singing in choirs and when I decided to be a full-time professional musician I started playing for church services.
From the time I started playing piano at age six playing for church was something I aspired towards. Sacred and spiritual music has always been part of my musical life and so do that professionally seemed appropriate.
Even though I did not complete my degree I have played in churches since 1987 and have used, besides piano, organ, guitar, mandolin bass and hand drums.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There are many pieces in a many genres that I would like to perform. If I needed to choose one piece I think that I would choose W. A. Mozart’s piano concerto No. 22 in Eb (K. 482). This particular concerto is iconic and to be able to perform it with an orchestra would be a beautiful thing.
My second choice would be to play Mauro Giuliani’s Sonata in C Major, Opus 15. I have been working on this piece for a couple of years and hope to soon start memorizing it so that I can perform it on a concert stage.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Before I became a full time musician I worked in orchards, nurseries and greenhouses and got an associates degree in horticulture. I have also worked as a woodwind repair technician. At various times I have worked in carpentry, as a mechanic, a bus driver, a snow plow operator and I have worked in retail stores for books and music.
None of the jobs listed above have had the importance that being a musician does. So, even though I could do many different things I cannot imagine being anything but a musician as long as I have a choice.
