I love treating each student as they are. Every student is their own unique artist and my job is to help shape them and to give them confidence in their vision. I view my job as a tour guide pointing the students in the right directions while not restricting to any particular instrument/genre. Book work, ear training/playing to tunes, improv, technical focus are all aspects of how I teach. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began with a few friends of mine in college. It was just for the fun of it at first, until others outside my circle of friends began to approach me about lessons, through word of mouth. I was soon known in my class to be the guy to go to learn more about music. In fact not all of these friends came to me for just guitar lessons, a couple I have taught beginner piano to as well.

While receiving my masters degree in Vocal Performance at the University of Kentucky I became a teacher at a youth arts academy, Academy for Creative Excellence. I never envisioned myself as a voice teacher, but as I grew to know my students and see the impact of the arts on their young lives it has become a true passion of mine.Since discovering my love for teaching voice, I myself have sung more musical theatre as it is the most popular genre I teach.

Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always have a pencil and don't be afraid to mark up your music! It doesn't make you dumb if you have to remind yourself that a certain note is flat or sharp. If you need to write in the counting - go for it! - it will only mean less mistakes being ingrained in your muscle memory. Especially at the piano - write in any finger number you need! Experiment and don't mind erasing previous work if you later come across a better way to finger a passage...but write what you have in the moment down so you don't forget. Marking up the music not only saves loads of time by not having to repeat certain steps in the learning process, but it also helps your brain solidify positive connections!

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Rhapsody in Blue with the orchestral accompaniment. I heard it for the first time in Fantasia 2000 when I was little and fell in love with it back then. Once I was in high school I came across the piece again and bought the music. Then in college I made sure as many of my theory assignments or history assignments could focus on that piece. I have always loved jazz, but have kept mostly to the classical world in my practice. Rhapsody in Blue invokes an emotion that is so relatable - which is sometimes difficult for me to do with classical music.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. warm-up for about 20 minutes (long-tones, scales (all modes), arpeggios, thirds, tonguing rhythms) with a tuner (for flute) with a metronome (for flute and piano). 2. Sight-read (I try to rotate between easy - intermediate - advanced) 5 min 3. Wood-shed (find the hardest passages I'm working on practice slowly, fix bugs, experiment, google info on the piece to see if there are any suggestions, listen to recordings, sing them) the 2-3 hardest passages in my repertoire. 45-60 minutes 4. Context practice: play longer sections of passages I had worked on in my last practice session. 30 min Note: this level of detail and continuity requires me to mark up my scores and keep a journal (on my phone) so I know what I've practice when. I also don't do this all in one sitting. Sometimes I do, but more often than not I warm-up and sightread then take a break - maybe practice piano or read, or clean, etc.) then do the wood-shed practice and take another break before going into context practice. If I'm crunched for time I warm-up and do as much wood-shedding as I can.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
