Instruments: Piano Voice
I love to watch singers reach their full potential by helping them find their true singing voice and perform with confidence and freedom! I began performing at age three and have sung and played different styles and genres for different audiences ever since. My foundational training is in classical voice, earning my Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Mississippi in 1991. I was then awarded an Apprenticeship with the Knoxville Opera and a Graduate Teaching Assistantship at the University of Tennessee, where I earned my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance in 1993.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ
Because I care about my students as people first, I am able to encourage and bring out their best performance. My years of experience and refined teaching methods make me effective in helping students reach music and performance goals. And finally, my professional record demotrates that I have and continue to be committed to the strengthening myself in the field. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style depends very much on what your goal is in deciding to learn to play piano. I can teach you how to play classical piano, piano improvisation, piano accompaniment, or how to play in a certain style with a musical group. Your goal as a student determines the approach we take. That being said, typically, I take a three pronged approach toward teaching: 1. Theory; teach the fundamentals of sight reading and music theory in small increments and apply them by creating custom musical exercises. 2. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My Grandmother inspired me to play piano. My church taught me to sing. In high school I was involved in band and choir and was selected to tour Europe with a college group. To this day I work with foreign exchange students. In college I continued my musical studies although I majored in Public Relations. This allowed me me to take classes such as oral interpretation and work in radio/TV which enhanced my performing skills. 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
I started studying piano in my early teens and have continued studying all of my life. Even to this day I still practice 30-45 minutes every morning. I have played professionally all of my life as an accompanist for vocal and instrumental soloists, and having taught high school choral music for over 20 years, accompanied a variety of vocal ensembles. I have performed for weddings, banquets, parties, and civic gatherings, and have been my church's pianist and chief musician for the past 15 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
Elementary thru High School students learn through a hysterical curriculum complete with unique personalities, ghosts and animals. My Adults, for which there is no age limit, are always astounded by what they can play in a short amount of time! In addition I have seminars and short courses for specific focus training for pianist, organist, as well as soloists, choirs, choir directors and vocalist. And all have the flexibility to adapt to the goals and personality of the learner. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
No distractions! If you want to get the most out of your practice, you need to be serious when you practice. No messing around on your phone during "Chop breaks". Stay focused and encouraged to play better all of the time!
Crave progress! It is difficult to step back and analyze our own progress sometimes. Practicing over and over without ever realizing the effects it has on your sound and performance ability, can be mentally and physically draining. Be honest with yourself and ask, "Is this better than it was last week?" "Do my parents/friends/fans hear my progress?"
THE ANSWER IS YES!! Stay motivated, focused, and determined to be the best!!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Does your child have the physical capability to press the buttons/keys/pads?
If so, then they are ready!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
"Because it only had 3 buttons and that meant it was easy"
Little did I know, I was verrrry wrong. Since I have realized how difficult the trumpet is, I have learned to crave that difficulty. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than working so hard on developing a certain skill on the trumpet just to see it finally pay off in a performance.
In addition, trumpet is such a versatile instrument. You can play so many different genres of music and tailor your tone and sound and articulations to any genre or style and enjoy ALL of them!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
RANGE! Expanding ones range on the trumpet is vital to their mastery of the instrument yet it is incredibly difficult to be able to play very high AND very low within the same piece and be able to control the instrument and those notes every step of the way. In my experience, many trumpeters are EITHER incredible lower register players or incredible higher register players. It is very rare that I meet/play with a trumpeter who has mastered the highs and the lows because it is NOT easy. It takes serious discipline and knowledge of how the instrument works.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I majored in Music Business Management. I loved it. I love music and I want to be more involved in the industry as a businessman rather than a performer. I want to have more influence on the future of the industry and how it functions to support great music and its creators.
I am currently making the most out of my degree by helping artists connect with industry professionals such as booking agents/managers/publishers/label reps, etc...
I really enjoy the "behind the scenes" work of a business professional.
