Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, my aim is always to nourish the love of music that brought the student into the studio. I am comfortable exploring any musical style or ambition with my students, and relish in learning alongside my pupils. For the young and old alike, I emphasize music literacy through piano basics - I believe that a basic understanding of the keyboard is essential for any meaningful musical education. With my voice students, I focus on synthesizing mind, body and spirit to unlock the true potential within every voice. Read More

My musical journey started at a very young age. I would get up and put on my 45's and set up my metal TV tray with pots and pans and away I would go playing the drums along with the records. At 6 my school had a demonstration of instruments. I went home and exclaimed to my parents that I wanted to play Saxophone. After seeing the price they asked if I wanted a guitar. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium
I've been playing the trombone for over 20 years and have studied music my whole life. I started with the piano and guitar at age 4 but didn't continue those professionally. I wanted to get involved with the music program at my school which brought me in contact with playing trombone. Since then, I devoted my attention to the trombone and studied at such institutions including Berklee College of Music the University of North Texas. Read More

I believe that encouragement, practical positivity, different learning styles and realistic short term long term challenges can aid in you or your child's musical success. I emphasize developing positive down to earth relationships with my students so that they feel like they can be themselves and learn in a safe environment. Developing relationships also aids in understanding what you or your child's learning style is and in creating realistic short term and long term goals lesson plans. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba
For my students on I usually have them play out of the Alfred's Basic Piano Library. For other instruments we usually look at where students levels are at and work from there. From there I find what they like to practice and work on so they are able to grow. I also give my students scales each week to work on to use as warm-ups and build their dexterity. For my students we also look at the theory behind the music we are playing and use various theory worksheets that work on rhythm or we work out of a basic theory book that works best for the student.

Instruments: Flute
When will I start to see results?
You may start to see results as early as a few weeks after your child's first private lesson. While great teachers can help students accomplish a lot during their private lesson time, the student's diligent practice work outside of lessons will increase the rate at which they are improving on their instrument of choice. At the beginning of your child's musical journey, each lesson will revolve around learning fundamentals on their instrument (i.e. how to form a proper embouchure, how to hold the flute with the proper hand position, where to place their fingers on the keys, etc.). As they learn these skills, you will begin to hear them playing notes, then scales, then a simple and recognizable melody. After they master the fundamentals, they will be able to play more challenging repertoire and conquer more challenging scale and arpeggio exercises. The potential of what your student is able to do on the flute is limitless with consistent private lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a concrete plan of what you would like to accomplish in each practice session is essential. I advise my students to keep a "to-do" list on or near their music stand during each practice session with a breakdown of the repertoire they want to work on, which sections are giving them difficulty, and then a time limit for how long they intend to practice each session. This helps to keep you on track so that you can practice more efficiently in less time. I also advise my students not to just run through large sections of their repertoire or always play the sections that they do really well, instead focus on practicing the things that challenge them so that they can play these sections with ease.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is passionate about music and interested in learning more about the instrument they are playing, private lessons are a great way to allow them to explore their passion with the guidance of an experienced mentor. Private lessons can be started at any age and any ability, and with the right teacher your child will experience joy in learning more about and improving on the instrument of their choice. Learning a musical instrument can benefit your child in so many different ways, including improving their problem solving skills, their math skills, and allowing them to creatively and freely express themselves through playing music.
