Instruments: Voice
I have taught beginners to headline concert singers and work with each student individually. What works for one will not necessarily work for all. Each singer has issues and insecurities unique to the individual. I clear out the blocks with simple techniques that a kindergarten child could understand, yet the techniques work at even the mastery level. Great singing is surprisingly easy once you understand the psychology of singing and apply effective training habits that reinforce the inner workings of the singer's experience which manifests the outward.

I enjoy motivating students who enjoy performing and learning the different aspects of music and the music international business. In 2007, I graduated from West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree along with certification from Berklee School of Music. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play on the Las Vegas Strip for eight years, as well as touring the world as a solo piano player/singer in five-star hotels.

I like to use a combination of methods and method books. For a beginning band student I would use Standard Of Excellence of Essential Elements. For guitar students I like to use a combination of methods, depending on the student. I like to use the Old Town School's book for their first songs or Essential Elements for guitar. I like to use a method for guitar that emphasizes reading notes instead of just tabs, and also emphasizes rest stroke and free stroke. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I'm sure my normal practice sessions don't look like the average practice session at all. After stretching, I will begin with an easy warm-up like a one octave scale, and build towards more difficult scales or warm-ups, usually for five to ten minutes. I'll take a short break, put the instrument down, and walk away for a couple of minutes. When I come back, I find one small thing (for example, a single difficult measure) and drill it over and over and over at a slow speed. Usually the goal is ten times in a row correctly, and if I mess up, I start the count over again. I do this for five to ten minutes, and then I set my instrument down again and walk away. I get a snack, work on a project, scroll social media for a couple of minutes, and then I do it over again. Short breaks keep me practicing for longer, as I don't burn out the fuse as quickly.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Violin is a notoriously difficult instrument on which to even get proficient. There are many moving parts that have to be just right, the bow weight, bow speed, finger placement, position, etc.. The hardest thing to master on the violin is truly your own patience. Nothing will teach you the reward of patience and hard work like learning a stringed instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Pick out your difficult spots before you practice, set realistic goals about those difficult spots, and take frequent breaks! Work in small chunks, because running through a piece over and over again early in the learning process only creates more problems down the line.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I will always love the technical satisfaction I get from executing a difficult section in a piece of classical music, my true love is blues and rock. I love improvising a blues solo because I like seeing what creative choices I can make on the fly, as well as the fun of jamming with other musicians in a more relaxed environment.
When will I start to see results?
Results are a funny asymptote. The more advanced you are, (usually!) the longer it takes you to see the results you're looking for. Beginners usually see results very quickly. Typically, you'll start to see yourself gaining skills within a week, with realistic goals and a consistent practice schedule, even if you don't have a ton of time to practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child says that they want to learn an instrument, I usually say to wait about three months, maybe more depending on how old your child is. Kids go through interests very quickly (and that's okay!) so you don't want them to lose interest the first time that they realize that learning an instrument is more difficult than they thought it would be.
