Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
Hi! I've had a love for music since I was very young. I started playing piano at eight years old, violin at eleven years old, guitar at around the age of seventeen, and have been singing ever since I could produce the sound, taking private vocal lessons in high school and college. I am classically trained in piano, violin, and voice, though I now play mostly Christian contemporary/worship, pop, country, and indie/singer-songwriter/folk music on all four of my instruments.

Depending on the level of the student, I will work with what they already have and expand based on the genres they want to learn. If the students' main goal is to shred like Hendrix, then I would start with the basics of blues. I'd explain the blues through terms of the major scale and western music theory, which makes it accessible to students would otherwise have no concept of the genre. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am good at combine technique and music performance together to teach students. Because I believe that any technique are serving for music, when I teach student, I will tell and teach them why we use this technique to play this music section. For beginner, I will teach them how to build up strong finger and how to complete relax which is very important. These two factors are dependant on each other. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I draw from a wide range of supportive materials and repertoire. I develop each students lesson plans based on their aspirations or goals and each plan is tailored to meet them where they're at in their musical journey. I develp instructions and plans that keep their goals in mind while making sure they receive a full education during the lesson. This includes discussion of techniques and habits the lend themselves to healthy and productive growth for a musician. Read More

Currently I conduct after school music programs at the University of Memphis Campus School, CTK Lutheran School in Memphis, and Incarnation Catholic School in Collierville. I also have performed with many local bands in a variety of music styles. I enjoy playing out and I try to instill this natural attraction to music making in all of my students. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The next instrument that made the makt sense to play was bass. I would not consider myself a great bass player, but what I do try to do when I play is fulfill the roll of a bass player, and try not to sound like a guitar player who picked up a bass. It started when I would tinker around on my friend’s bass, and I eventually got my own. Additionally, I always loved hopping on a drumset go knock out a few beats. About 7 years into playing music, I got my own drumset, and would also play somewhat consistently on a practice pad. My first instrument was piano, but learning music theory creates a necessity for getting better at the instrument. My sight reading is not very good, but I do have a pretty good ability to convert theoretical ideas I’ve learned on the guitar to the piano. I’ve also found that it is useful to learn new patterns on the guitar by playing them on a keyboard. Finally, the harmonica started as something I very casually played in high school, then in the last few years I learned enough techniques on it to feel comfortable playing the blues and along to different songs. I also have a chromatic harp, but it is a little more difficult for me to make music with.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
As briefly mentioned before, my dad initially wanted to go into college studying classical piano. He chose a career in medicine instead, as he placed second in a piano competition in which the first place winner received a scholarship to study music. He was also involved in choir in high school, and played some guitar. My mother sang and also played piano from a very young age. Both of my brothers took classical piano lessons from age 5 to 18, and performed beautifully complex pieces from Chopin to Greig.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was apparent from the first time I played a guitar that I was deeply in love, but there was one defining moment in high school where I believed it would be a possibility. I hadn’t been playing guitar for about 9 months, and was obsessed with Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page’s abilities. I had been working tirelessly on developing technique and teaching myself scales, and I decided to push myself by learning the solo to the song “Heartbreaker.” I spent a few weeks on it, and was able to play it note for note. It was at this moment that I realized I had a knack for the guitar more than I had perhaps understood before, and from that point forward, I knew that I wanted to pursue music professionally.
