Music lessons will certainly broaden the students knowledge of music. It has been proven through scientific study that the study of music will improve the individuals cognitive ability and aids in brain development. Children who study music develop higher math and problem solving skills. Age is not a factor as we are never to old to learn. My students range in age from 5 years old to well into their 70’s, many of whom simply want to improve their skills or recapture the joy of making music. The study and enjoyment of music can and often becomes a life long adventure whether its just for fun or as a career. Read More

Throughout college I have taught freelance to different students. I have helped peers study and work through new pieces.I maintained a private student schedule while also continuing my education. I have been playing guitar and piano for years and am well versed in many different styles Read More
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 Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music
I have played cello for over 30 years. I've been teaching on and off since I graduated college, and consistently for the last ten years. I have performed and recorded with a variety of different groups in Southern California and Texas including the Claremont Symphony Orchestra in Claremont, California, the Point Loma Nazarene University Orchestra in San Diego, California, the Sinfonietta of Fort Worth in Texas, various independent solo artists and alternative bands.

Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing should always be a musical experience. Even mechanical exercises can soothe the soul and open the mind the way singing your favorite song can do. Every moment on your instrument is precious and the more special moments you have on your instrument, the deeper your relationship with it will be. If you can be passionate both about the mechanics and the magic of your instrument, you will be able to make it speak profoundly for your own enjoyment and for others. This all requires you to be thoughtful and careful about how you spend time with your instrument. Me methodical. Create goals that will guide what you do during practice, and why.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Are they willing to talk about their instrument even when they're away from it? Are they willing to watch others play it and to learn by observation? When it comes to drums, this is especially important. If your child enjoys banging a drum, but doesn't seem interested in allowing someone to talk to them about it or show them more about it, or if your child forgets about the drum the minute it's out of sight, they may not be ready for lessons. This does not mean they're not musical or that the drums aren't for them. It just means they need more time to enjoy banging the drum on their own before they attempt to undergo structured learning.
When will I start to see results?
I have a history of getting noticeable results from my students within the first week. You'll be playing rhythms that are legitimate, and that will make others want to pull out a guitar and play along! What will be more significant, though, will be your ability to keep achieving new results and to not stay in the rut of what is immediately achievable. You can be confident playing basic rock music after about 3 months. Then, after about a year, you'll have confidence playing basic funk rhythms. After two years you'll have basic competency in jazz, and after 4 years you'll be able to play Latin music and make people dance!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher, Jaime Jesperson opened my eyes to the fact that the most exciting music to play on the drums was not the music I was excited about in middle school. He inspired me to learn funk, jazz, and Latin music. My second teacher, Jay Lawrence, then inspired me to seek a music scholarship that ultimately became my ticket into college and earning a BA in Music. In addition, my high school jazz band instructor Jim Kurchner was a true master. The music he challenged us to learn and the level of excellence that he demanded led me to some of my life's happiest moments.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was only thirteen years old and wanted to be in a rock band. Since most kids my age were drawn to the guitar, I chose the drums so I wouldn't have to compete so much for a place in a band. Luckily, my family already owned a drum set which my sister had used for a few years and then packed away in storage. My mom allowed this because she wanted me to take at least some kind of music lessons after I had refused to continue with piano lessons.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of my jazz trio which consistently becomes the favorite feature of events we play for (see mikepecktrio.com). I'm also proud of my musical accomplishments that have gone beyond drumming, which include my own original compositions of choral music, performing with the Salt Lake Choral Artists as a baritone, and forming my own choir called the Kekchi Choir, which has traveled to Guatemala to perform music in the Kekchi language as a way to inspire others with high quality musicianship.
