For Bass and Guitar students I have written a progressive theory "test" which does 2 things - it tells me what the student knows and it serves as a guide in future lessons. Some theory instruction goes along with whatever playing instruction the student is working on. For Drum students I stick to the aspects of theory that pertain to the drums - meter signatures, note values etc. If a drummer wants to learn more then I can work with him on it. Read More

Since I have had many different teachers in many different areas of my musical life, my philosophy is to be flexible and open as an instructor.

Whether I'm teaching rock music, orchestral music, or even marching band techniques, my goal is to give students the skills and tools they need to have fun and be successful. Read More

There is no baby talk in my lessons!

Lessons will start with a great warm up and then once it's been determined what the need is, we will set a goal. Read More

My primary student base is ages 4-16. I also have several adult students where I teach advanced vocal performance.

On average, I teach around 30 lessons a week, mostly 30/45 minute sessions, and several hour long sessions in addition to my group classes.   I specialize in advanced vocal instruction and talent development.
