Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Drums Organ Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I started teaching piano and drums in church around the age of 18. Once I got to college, I picked up trombone, piano and singing lessons for various students aging from 4 years old-22 years old. I realized that teaching, part time, was a passion of mine and greatly became something that I focused my efforts on full time. Now, as a professional musician, I take pride in helping others achieve their music dreams. Read More

I began teaching privately and working with area high school marching bands during college in 2002. After graduation, I taught public school before transitioning to another job in the music industry. I've continued to teach privately in my church studio and students homes for the past 7 and a half years. Regular practice and lesson consistency shows how fast students can progress. My biggest goal is to assure my students the excitement when playing their instrument. Read More

I like finding what your personal goals are and helping you get there. I like to coach by correcting form and style, but working on music and projects that YOU love and letting you experiment and have fun! Practice shouldn't feel like practice. Practice IS performance. The way you play at home is the way you'll play in front of other people. We'll touch up the details in the studio, then you'll be free and fearless in front of any crowd. Read More

It is a great joy for me to connect and commune with students in learning their chosen instrument they wish to learn to play. I have a B.S. from Antioch University. I place great value in their well being and helping them to learn to play their instrument. I come from a family of Concert level musicians. I began playing the saxophone when I was nine and have continued. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Keep it so that there is always something to do and improve on. There is ALWAYS something to do (practice wise) but this might not always be apparent.
My best advice for practicing (that works with me) is to start with floating your ego. Play and mess around with everything you're good at to warm up and get the jitters out of your system so that you can sit down and practice functionally.
After this, work on whatever gives you the most trouble. Whether its something your instructor provided, something you heard and want to learn or even a cool lick. Sit down and painstakingly figure it out. (you will, it just takes proper time and effort)
After that, go over everything you just worked on and anything else with a metronome. Displace beats or cut out whole measures (on the met) in the process to broaden your sense of internal time.
There are many other things one can do to practice effectively, but i find myself utilizing these three methods the most.
Hit the shed!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The most important thing is to gauge their maturity. There are two year olds that have the mental capacity to start learning an instrument and get better! But this is not every child. If you feel that your child has a passion for music and they talk about it all the time, then lessons are a must! But to get anything out of these lessons your child must be willing to learn and practice. I would say to start lessons with your child regardless. But if you see that nothing is being gained and that you are essentially wasting money, it is probably best to put it off a couple years.
When will I start to see results?
Music lessons are a perfect example of getting what you give. Instructors can set you or your child up with the keys to success. But we cannot play the instrument for them, we are merely a toolbox for their passion. If a student wants to get better, then it is their responsibility to practice accordingly. If there is a poor instructor, then that is another culprit for not seeing results. But given the right instructor with the drive to get better and practice. The question is not if results will show, it is when.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with drums at first sight. I could not get past the joy of being around them and the need to hop behind a kit when its present. Determining your primary instrument is like a perfect storm. There are musicians that i know who are technically way better at another instrument, but have the desire to play their primary instrument less than the instrument they actually love. That is why choosing your primary instrument is like a perfect storm. Go after the instrument that you love, not the one that you had to play, because your love with the instrument create the technical prowess that you desire.
