Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
My experience goes back all the way to my college days at Southwestern Assemblies of God University. At Southwestern, I studied with Tim Pope, drummer for Ray Charles. After college, I had the opportunity to teach drums at Southwestern for 2 years as a adjunct faculty member. I then went on to teach at Fort Worth Christian School for 5 years and worked with all their students including their drum line. While at Fort Worth Christian, I was able to win multiple awards including best snare line and best front ensemble at TAPPS competition. Read More

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I'm a drummer of 22 years!, I have featured on numerous records as a session drummer, played hundreds of shows across the country (mostly rock/metal but occasionally jazz/funk/country) I have been classically trained from age 6-present (yes, teachers need teachers too! (:) Specializing in Jazz, Rock, and Funk. I love drumming. It's been my passion since I can remember. My whole goal and reasoning for teaching is to help people develop their skills, but also see them gain a passion in the drums. Read More

For beginners, I will start lessons by assisting them to become familiar with their instrument and to learn all the names of the various parts of the instrument. All lessons will be catered to what it is that the student is excited to explore, be it music theory, instrumental techniques, improvisation, composition, arrangement, ear training, transcription, reading, playing in a group setting, or just learning a favorite song. In terms of lessons material, I will guide students when and where necessary and do have traditional modalities of approaching lessons that I will employ if I feel the student is lacking direction (i.e. Read More

My teaching experience can go as far back as high school. Even though, I was still a student, My piano teacher let me teach the class because for 1). He didn't want to because he was a Choir teacher and it help him to prepared for his choir and 2). I was more advanced than everyone else. I took that opportunity and did the best I can. After High School, I continue to do lesson for piano. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Besides the actual strength and flexibility of the embouchure, as well as general playing endurance, the hardest thing by far to master is your nerves. I've known so many students, as well as fellow musicians who, no matter how hard they train, are torn apart by their own nerves. Regular performances in different environments, in front of an audience, be it family, friends or strangers, will greatly alleviate this. I liken it to an emptying of the adrenal gland. The more often you empty it, the less adrenaline will be available to make your nerves go haywire in the next performance.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had very many students over the years. I've had students get 1's in solos or ensembles. I've had students reach region and area in contests. I've had students get first chair or become principle trombone in their orchestra. I've had students pass their auditions to get into music school. I've had students excel in improvisation in their jazz ensembles. What makes me most proud is the fact that I've had so many students stay in music. Participating in music creates a unity and happiness of belonging. Creating that happiness in someone is very fulfilling.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've performed at a sold out Hollywood Bowl. I've performed sold out shows with many artists I've been fans of since I was a child. I've performed in front of artists I've been a fan of since I was a child, with them standing right in front of me, watching me while I've performed. I've excelled in areas and performed in places other people I've performed with have been too afraid to. I've never let fear or nerves stop me. Most of all, I'm proud to be friends with, performed with, and be on an equal and first name basis with many stars I've admired growing up.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started on cornet when I was 8 years old, in my closet, no lessons. It was given to me. When I was 11 years old a friend of my older sister's graduated from high school. He came over to my house and gave me his trombone. Why me? Maybe he liked my sister and wanted to impress her. To me, it was a light from heaven. It was beat up, in fact he used to beat on the bell with a drumstick when he was in the stands at football games. My father and I took it to the music store and got all of the dents taken out of it for $50. When I opened up the case and saw it, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That trombone was recorded for The New York Times website a few years back. The recording won an Emmy.
