Instruments: Piano
My earliest teaching experience was in my senior year of high school. While in college, I was required to do some student teaching, and this gave me a tremendous amount of insight into how best to approach being a music instructor. Since graduating, most of my musical experience has come from playing and directing choirs at churches, schools, and theatres, but I have continued teaching and enjoy learning different methods to share with my students.

Instruments: Piano
My first and foremost goal is to inspire a student to want to learn and thrive in their instrument. If I can do this, my job along with theirs, becomes that much easier. I try and do this by heavily incorporating the music that they identify the most with while strengthening their technique with a classical foundation. And, introduce a well-rounded set of incentives for each of their accomplishments. After all of this, without saying, the passion for the piano should have grown after taking root in our first lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Ukulele Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba
My teaching experience began when I was in college. I taught trombone and euphonium private lessons for several years in the school district that I attended when I was a student. Additionally, I also have done All State Masterclasses for the TMEA trombone etudes. Encouraging regular practice, building the life-long skill of discipline, and hard work are key skills that I enjoy getting to emphasize to my students, as it has a tendency to build student progression and ultimately gain a passion for learning the instrument.

Instruments: Piano
I have always had a deep appreciation for music. This led me to learn to play piano, beginning at age 5. By age 7, I was writing pieces of my own. In highschool, I found that I enjoyed teaching piano to others. After college, I opened my own business, which I ran from the end of my first deployment, until the beginning of my second deployment (I am a National Guardsman), called CMPPC. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Every person has different strengths, weaknesses, motivators, and goals. I like to keep all of these things in mind before I start designing a lesson plan for each person. I like to make sure that I am teaching both the ear to listen and the eye to read, so I make sure I can improve the development of both by providing effective sight=reading and aural exercises in every lesson.

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
Teach students not only piano technique, but also music theory, harmony, and sight-reading. Prepare for recitals, festivals, competitions, college audition, music assessment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Acoustic Guitar
I have been involved in music for as long as I can remember, singing in church choirs and leading contemporary worship. I graduated from McMurry University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance in 2004. Having decided that performing was not my #1 passion I then pursued a Masters of Music degree, specializing in Music Therapy, from Colorado State Univeristy. I have been a professional music therapist for the past 9 years, working with children and adolescents with developmental disabilities as well as mental health populations. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice shouldn't feel like mindless work; Practice should be INTENTIONAL! How can your grow today? What should you work on today to be a better guitar player next week? Next month? Next year? Additionally, I try to learn a new song, lick, or concept every day to keep my practice sessions fresh and exciting.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any time is a good time, especially if your child is showing interest in music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will vary between students. Each student has unique personality as well as a unique level of interest in guitar. Students that are truly enjoying playing the instrument should expect results much quicker than students that are only somewhat interested.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a direct teacher that inspired me to pursue music. In general, I had always known that I wanted to pursue music professionally. Ultimately, I was inspired to choose it as a career after reading about various celebrities/athletes that had given their all to pursue their passions.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I simply love guitar! I've always been a fan of classic rock! I am a huge Slash/Guns N Roses fan.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This year alone (my first year pursuing music as a career), I've played 84 gigs, including:
-Opening for national country artists like Brantley Gilbert and Billy Ray Cyrus
-Weddings, private business events, festivals
-B93 Birthday Bash
-Brantley Gilbert's Kick It In The Sticks cruise ship
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a successful practice routine. There are so many techniques on guitar and a million different videos on YouTube telling you what your "should" be practicing. The reality is that you start by practicing what you are interested in. Things such as scale shapes and new chords are practical tools that should AID you in your practice routine, but shouldn't be the base of your routine. Running scales for 3 straight hours may improve your dexterity with scales, but will not teach you the practical skills for playing within a band setting.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I generally practice for 3 hours a day, breaking it into 3 portions: New Material, Improving Material, Songs. I'll spend my first hour learning licks or a new song. For me, this is a great way to warm up and get excited for practicing. The next hour, I'll work on difficult solos/passages. I typically won't spend more than 10 minutes working on one specific solo/passage. Finally, I'll spend an hour running some of the songs from my setlists. I have about 60 songs between each band that I try to keep "in-shape" for weekly live performances.
