I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More

I have been teaching for over 30 years, and I love working with children. Regular practice is important so that students can see progress and reap the rewards that come with it. I meet the students where they are at, trying to work with their particular style of learning. My lessons are based in classical music, but we learn many different styles of music as they progress. The teaching association I belong to has four festivals a year, which I encourage my students to participate in, where they perform pieces and receive constructive feedback, helping them to grow as musicians and to become comfortable playing for others.

I believe that it is important to tailor lessons to my individual students, helping to foster a love of music and learning. I think it is important for my students to have goals that they are striving to achieve. They can be big goals, like making it into a college of choice, but I also think small ones are important, like mastering the Bb major scale. We work towards goals and celebrate accomplishments together to help drive each student's passion. Read More

I've been teaching music for more than 12 years now. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of music. Not everyone can say that they truly enjoy their job so I feel blessed. I have taught hundreds of students ranging from ages 4 to 80! I have taught individuals, groups or online lessons. During the pandemic I was lucky to I keep working because of zoom lessons. I don't know what I would have done without zoom lessons. Read More

I've got a huge experience for all my teaching and performing life... My lessons are for all ages. I worked with young and old, from ages 6 till 90, and each lesson is tailored to the student's age and ability. After first lesson I can see what method I can use for that student. Young kids I prefer to teach by classical music pattern paying attention to technical stuff increasing technic (scales, chords, arpeggios, etudes...) Students in old ages go through more easy reading song, their favorite, using Hal Leonard's books with names keys....Everything is dependent on for sure... Read More
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.
