I firmly believe that students are best served when their teacher knows and cares about them. This attitude toward teaching helps me to tailor instruction to students' needs rather than following a prescriptive method. I usually begin lessons with a brief, informal conversation where we discuss the student's week and talk about things that are important to them. A strong and appropriate student-teacher relationship is the bedrock for successful goal-setting, accountability, and, of course, fun in private lessons! Read More

Every stage is different. With beginners, you want them to learn the notes first, then the chords, the harder chords..etc. With intermediate players, you can begin teaching them songs and giving them songs to work on. Advanced players is all about finding the right tone and the right sounds, most likely helping by providing guitar work with them. It all depends on the student! But I know that for children, you start with the basics and work your way up! Read More

I have over twenty years of experience in teaching public classes and private lessons. I have a great joy in discovering breakthrough moments where everybody can work together towards achieving their personal goals.

Music is my calling in life. My career in teaching started 30 + years ago and it has truly been a pleasure to see my students light up when they learn the songs they love. I started by offering private lessons in 1992 and soon had many requests from other students. I offer lessons for both electric and acoustic guitar as well as piano. Along with instrumental lessons, I teach music theory workshops for song-writers and music engineering workshops for musicians. Read More

For beginning students, I start with the traditional Mel Bay (or comparable) beginner books that focus on the fundamentals while building strength and coordination and just build from there. For students with a little more experience, I like to focus on more challenging exercises and concepts while nurturing their knowledge of music theory and performance. Each student is different and knowing what motivates them motivates me. My goal is to have them want to pick up their instrument and play. Read More

I use the Faber method for my beginner students. Sometimes with students who are 4 or 5 years I use the pre-beginners books from Alfred. Other times I use the Suzuki method, depending on the level of understanding. Alongside those books, I use technique books to build good, strong hand especially for young kids. As we move along I start giving solo repertoire from different eras of music to introduce the student to different kinds of music from different composers. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Being creative under time management is one thing artist sometimes struggle on. Depending on the skill development of the artist, timelines vary upon completion of projects. Times may vary from two days to two weeks, again also may depend on the artist and they type of project being worked on.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have many accomplishments that I have achieved, but the ones that stick out the most are performing at the Miss Black Ohio Pageant, also being nominated and performing at the 2018 Poze Productions XMAs. Next to those accomplishments if would be winning 2019 Recording Label Of The Year for GlobalFamily Productions
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Greedy Reem was the first breakout artist from Juan Rhymez & One Mic Empowerment. He has competed in competitions where he was placed #1 and labeled 2019 Artist Of The Year. Recklezz Zay, as known as GoGetEm soon followed after with alliances from Brothers By Loyalty and LILBRONEM Ent. Current rising artist from the label are now JIM BEAN, SPAZZOUT, DELL2SOLID, Jondoe Montanaa, RYNWillsavage and many more.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instruments are my own voice, microphone, and logic pro X software. Beside the usual pen/pencil and a pad to jot down my lyrics, or I may used a app on my phone to capture my thoughts if none are of available.
When will I start to see results?
With continued practice and effort, results could almost be instant, but advancement and quality very much depends on the progression of the artist and what they are looking to achieve.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My music industry peers happen to be prior hip hop legends that I still to this very listen to. I grew up listening to 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Ludacris, Scarface, Master P, and Jay-Z. Each of these artist have done well for themselves and help bring along and produce other outstanding talent. From their success and failures I have grasp the concept of being a musical producer while maintaining an artist career of my own. As well as I record their music, I also educate them on Business Management of their careers. Most artist just want to rap, and let someone else do the footwork, I show have to be a independent artist and be your own manager.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A desired passion is something that sometimes goes unnoticed until it hits you in the face. Most times a "star" is born at first glimpse, while others make take a little bit more time to develop.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My motto is "Practice makes for Perfection when Perfection is Practiced." Consistency is key and effort is everything; practicing is, and should be a everyday routine. Without it, there can be no progress in progression.
