Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
With more advanced students, furthering a students development and introducing more challenging concepts is what I focus on teaching. With drumming, I like to incorporate concepts such as polyrhythms, an understanding of different genres, improvisation, and ear training. For students that are preparing to pursue a degree in music, I can help them prepare for an audition because of my experience of being a college music student in the past. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I am a huge music enthusiast, and love almost every discipline from classical to pop. I am primarily a classical pianist, and I have been taking lessons for about 10 years from an adjunct professor at Tulane University, but I also enjoy playing jazz/blues and pop. In addition to playing, I compose many of my own piano pieces, as well as create arrangements of popular songs and produce music electronically. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated music instructor who loves helping students and sharing my love of music with others.

I started teaching music in 2009 by accident. I soon realized that teaching was my gift and passion. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
I began teaching private lessons seven years ago while pursuing my bachelor's degree in piano performance. I have had the opportunity to teach students with ages varying from 3 to adult. While in college, I studied Piano Pedagogy and our course taught in a group setting with 16 adults each week. I have given vocal lessons for the last year, and I have experience as a musical theater, operetta, and adult choral director. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
I am a skilled and passionate instructor, composer, pianist, and organist as well as a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans. Initially self-taught on the piano, I had my first experience with lessons on the organ thanks to the charity of Dr. Marcus St. Julien, and I want to pass that spirit of mentoring on to every student I meet. I am experienced in and passionate about all kinds of classical music, ranging from Bach to Beethoven to Ravel, Prokofiev, and Schoenberg, and I also have a background in jazz and pop music.

Concept teaching is the most effective for advancing the musicians development. Teaching specific details and then showing how they can be moved and manipulated for a greater concept theme will give the students confidence that they actually understand what is happening musically from plenty angles and the ability to maneuver through the music and instrument as seamless as possible. Taking it bit by bit will allow for laying foundational bricks that will be an anchor for concept building. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I recently threw a really cool house show on September 1st, having live music, DJ's, asked a few local businesses to sponsor the event and charged a $5 cover at the door. I've been working several months to book this one band from Austin and finally they got back to me and agreeded to do the show.
It was to my surprise that the lead singer found me at the party and asked me to join their band. I was so busy that night, I told him I would call him the next day.
The next day, I give him a phone call and tells me his band, SMiiLE, is going on four week national tour and asked me to come along. I asked when they were leaving and he said in two days.
The next day, I drove to Austin to have a rehearsal with them and they digged my playing and the day after, we got in the van and were off to make music across the country.
It was definitely a risking move because I didn't know any of these people, didn't know their music all too well and dropped out of school that semester. But I'm glad I did because we ended up making incredible music on the way and it was such a beautiful experience.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency of the groove.
Being a drummer, you have to understand your roll is to hold it down..not solo all over the place with fills. Being mindful of the players around you and maintaining a good balance of sound is crucial.
Having a good attitude is important too. No one is going to want to work with you if you walk into the space with a lousy attitude. Music is pure energy, and if you're bringing in this mojo like you know everything or if you would rather be somewhere else..then that's not going to take you very far.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Everyone and there mammas wants to be a drummer.
Before there was a spoken language, cavemen would communicate with each other by banging on their chest and hitting things together.
Ever since I was in elementary, I was always tapping my hands or pencils on the desk because I couldn't help it. I needed to be heard. My parents got me the video game "Rock Band" when it came out and I learned a lot of basic rock rhythms through there and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I simply wanted to get better and wanted to be the best. So I practiced, a lot.
