Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
My method of teaching is based in the standard pedagogy of scales and chords(arpeggios). Those who are beginner and intermediate I usually start with the Rubank series of method books as well as easy to play popular tunes. For those who are at the advanced level I would teach out of the Baermann method book in addition to the Rose studies as well as Kroepsch, Jean-Jean, and Rode. We could also try working on any of the clarinet concertos and sonatas. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
My teaching approach focuses primarily on tone production - I think this is the most important fundament to teach young students. I like to use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements or equivalent beginner book (Hovey, Rubank for clarinet) to start the student off, but as they become more advanced, it's important to introduce repertoire to them. I allow the student some individuality here - what kind of music would they like to play? Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I love to see others excel in their unique gifts! I began piano as a little boy, but was discouraged from music lessons due to the teaching program. As I became older, I went from recorder, to saxophones, to improvisation, to piano, to singing, to flute, to basic wind instruments, eventually playing/composing/recording/touring with several of the most well-known of bands in the Southeastern Wisconsin area on vocals, saxophones, flute, and piano, as well as studying music at Carroll College.

When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results gradually if the material that is assigned is being worked on properly and effectively. It boils down to you putting in the hard work and having the drive to better yourself.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Advice that I have is to create a practice log that will and mark down everything you work on during that session and then you can stay focused. Also, making sure that the practice load isn't being overloaded. We want to make sure we are working on the material we are not good at and take the time to learn it properly, brings me to the quote "perfect practice makes permanent".
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Since I am still active in the jazz scene to this day, playing with my band of 5 years, 322, releasing our second studio album, being able to have been featured five times on KNKX Live Studio Sessions on 88.5 KNKX, being able to play with other top notch musicians around the jazz scene and also being a side performer with LA DJ Duo group TowFriends when they are coming into town for their tours.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the saxophone during 6th grade band orientation, I was fascinated by the shape, color and sound that the horn could make. The first saxophone solo that I heard growing up was "Just The Two of Us" played by the incredible Grover Washington Jr. The pure emotion that you could hear him conveying to the listener throughout his solo and his velvet sound was something that stuck out to me.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely. Even to this day being a gigging musician around the Tacoma/Seattle area, I am still able to get advice/lessons from some of the best mentors such as; Tracy Knoop, Steve Treseler, Kareem Kandi and NYC Saxophonist Braxton Cook. They inspire me because they are masters at their instruments and strive to get even better. They are hard working people as well as put emotion/passion towards what they are doing in the music world.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When I was growing up (and even to this day currently taking lessons with my mentor) I wanted to better myself and be the best player I could be. When someone starts to push and pressure the student to take lessons then that is the major driving force for the student to not want to do it in the future.
