My experience in both music education and special education gives me the insight into adapting lesson material to the individual student, as no two students are alike in their learning styles! I work with the needs and goals of the individual student, and incorporates a wide variety of teaching styles into my lessons. For my younger piano students, I use the Bastien piano series, and I like to use the Alfred Adult Beginner series for my beginning students that are late middle school and older. Read More

William continued his education by participating in lessons and sitting in on his father's combo sessions at OSU after school, which allowed him to develop his skills in jazz performance, comping, and trading 4s at a college level while still in high school. After graduation, William taught and ran the Beechcroft Drumline for three years before moving on to private teaching and gigging. He also took drum lessons with Steve Dodge from Columbus Pro Percussion to learn more double pedal techniques. Read More

To me, music is the perfect marriage of discpline and freedom. In order for students to develop the ability to express themselves through music, My approach combines technical skills with creative development. With each student, I design an invidiual cirricullum that allows them to clearly see their progress over time and experience the joy and satisfaction of acomplishment. Whatever a student's goals, I develop lesson plans that will accomplish them, and I encourage students to develop their own capabilities. Read More

I have over 7 years of experience teaching all ages and skill levels. I teach based upon the learning style of the student. I want your lessons to be fun and motivating. After all, to learn an instrument takes discipline. If you're not inspired, you can't learn as well. I encourage my students to play in bands and get involved with the local music scene. I am always looking to bring on new students who are excited to learn about this awesome instrument. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My typical practice session is divided into 4 parts.
1 - Warm up. I play things that get my muscles loose and get blood flowing. I start with simple patterns at slower tempos, and then work my way up to more complex patterns at faster tempos.
2 - Repeat previous practice sessions. During this time I will work through things that I have previously been working on. I might work at different tempos, lead with a different hand, develop more muscle memory, or work on memorizing music for upcoming shows.
3 - Something new. Next I try to work on something new, or something that needs development. It's important to work on new things to keep your mind and body fresh, and to keep up interest in your craft. New things could be new warm ups, techniques, grooves, or pieces of music.
4 - Cool down. After all that work it's good to let your muscles and brain cool down with some slower, easier exercises. This will help prevent cramping and fatigue, especially if you practice more than once per day.
My practice sessions can last anywhere from 30 to 90 min. I always try to incorporate these 4 elements to my practice sessions.
When will I start to see results?
This is a question with no easy answer. But typically, the amount of time you put into your craft will determine when you will see results. Having a teacher that understands your needs and can motivate you to practice is also key. My goal with every lesson is to make sure the student leaves with a feeling of accomplishment, and has clear goals for the next time we see each other. Students who decide to take practicing seriously advance far more quickly than those who only play/practice during lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are many things that will lead to effective practicing. Here are a few that I use:
1. Practice every day. Daily practice, even just 10 or 15 minutes, is key to becoming a better musician.
2. Practice log/journal. Track your progress, including material practiced, metronome marks, time practiced.
3. Goals. have a list of goals clearly written. Make a plan about how you will get there. Using this in conjunction with a practice log is very useful.
4. Repetition. Playing well doesn't happen right away. Muscle memory takes time to develop. If you're getting bored with an exercise, try speeding up or slowing down your metronome. exercises feel different at different tempos and can develop different skills in the process.
5. Have fun! There are many, many different ways to practice effectively. Talk to your friends and instructors about how to push yourself and keep it light and fun in the process.
