Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Oboe English Horn
I believe every student is different and therefore demands a different instruction style. Some students need a lot of encouragement and some students need more of a push. I also believe students need musical ideas to be presented to them in different ways. Some students need a visual explanation, some auditory, and some kinesthetic. Through my training to become a music educator at Missouri State University, I gained experience in several different types of students and I am confident I can help a large variety of students.

Instruments: Piano
The method I use in my studio is individually tailored to each student and the student's goal. I have found the the encouragement of each student's goals the best way to inspire them to learn. Seeing my students discover new and exciting realizations is the most rewarding part of teaching piano, and if I can impart some of the understanding I have to help them grow creatively then I have succeeded.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I believe that an understanding of music theory and learning to read music is the foundation of success for both my piano and voice students which is why I typically require my voice students to be taking piano simultaneously with voice. For beginning piano students, I will typically begin with the James Bastien Primer/Level 1 Series with the focus split equally between theory and technique. I require students to fill out a practice log monthly to ensure that they are maintaining the knowledge and skills they learn in lessons and so that parents can be involved in their progress.

I began helping my friends work through their music when I was 19 at Missouri Western State University, and eventually cultivated a bustling studio of students through word of mouth. I now teach full time in Zoom and in person with house visits, or at my home studio. My students regularly perform very well at state competitions, form bands of their own, and have found great cause in writing their own music outside of academia. Read More

I have been fortunate to study under some remarkable professors as well as musicians. There are three individuals in particular that I will never forget. They changed my life. Their determination, work ethic, pure genius and passion for what they do will always stick with me. They raised my bar as a musician and set the bar for my teaching. As a teacher I strive to leave the same imprint on others that they left on me. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Being creative under time management is one thing artist sometimes struggle on. Depending on the skill development of the artist, timelines vary upon completion of projects. Times may vary from two days to two weeks, again also may depend on the artist and they type of project being worked on.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have many accomplishments that I have achieved, but the ones that stick out the most are performing at the Miss Black Ohio Pageant, also being nominated and performing at the 2018 Poze Productions XMAs. Next to those accomplishments if would be winning 2019 Recording Label Of The Year for GlobalFamily Productions
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Greedy Reem was the first breakout artist from Juan Rhymez & One Mic Empowerment. He has competed in competitions where he was placed #1 and labeled 2019 Artist Of The Year. Recklezz Zay, as known as GoGetEm soon followed after with alliances from Brothers By Loyalty and LILBRONEM Ent. Current rising artist from the label are now JIM BEAN, SPAZZOUT, DELL2SOLID, Jondoe Montanaa, RYNWillsavage and many more.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instruments are my own voice, microphone, and logic pro X software. Beside the usual pen/pencil and a pad to jot down my lyrics, or I may used a app on my phone to capture my thoughts if none are of available.
When will I start to see results?
With continued practice and effort, results could almost be instant, but advancement and quality very much depends on the progression of the artist and what they are looking to achieve.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My music industry peers happen to be prior hip hop legends that I still to this very listen to. I grew up listening to 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Ludacris, Scarface, Master P, and Jay-Z. Each of these artist have done well for themselves and help bring along and produce other outstanding talent. From their success and failures I have grasp the concept of being a musical producer while maintaining an artist career of my own. As well as I record their music, I also educate them on Business Management of their careers. Most artist just want to rap, and let someone else do the footwork, I show have to be a independent artist and be your own manager.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A desired passion is something that sometimes goes unnoticed until it hits you in the face. Most times a "star" is born at first glimpse, while others make take a little bit more time to develop.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My motto is "Practice makes for Perfection when Perfection is Practiced." Consistency is key and effort is everything; practicing is, and should be a everyday routine. Without it, there can be no progress in progression.
