Instruments: Flute Piccolo
This might be to learn to play specific pieces that they like, to gain help with something they are struggling in, to win first chair in their school ensemble, to win a competition, or to get into college as a musician, among many other things. With those goals in mind, I like to take a holistic approach to the learning process. We will work on developing a great tone, mastering technique, playing with strong intonation, and learning how to phrase and play expressively within the different types of music. Read More

Depending on a student's musical background, I would typically start with foundational exercises like scales/arpeggios/broken chords and discussions of essential music theory elements to help a student progress. If the student is brand new to the flute, I would also do some breath work, and introduce exercises to improve tone and understand tuning. After the basics, I'd introduce solo repertoire and help students prepare for any performances they would like to take part in. Read More

Making sure that the student is having fun, learning and achieving their musical goals is most important. I understand that each student progresses at their own pace and has diffrent goals and desires. While there are certian excersises that everyone needs to work on, solos and concert pieces are what students are drawn to. Therefore, I make sure that students are working on fun and challenging pieces that will keep them engaged in music. Read More

My teaching style is versatile. What may work for one student may not work for another. The student's goals will be centered as we embark on the path the student wants to take. This path can be composed of academic aspirations, personal curiosities for specific genres, folk music from foreign countries, or even just songs, self-composed or not. Your destination guides my lesson plan and the theory, tone exercises and all that jazz help to get us there smoothly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
During lessons, I often compare concepts to other activities my students know and love - their favorite sport, video games, or books. I love sharing my magic tricks - shortcut exercises to make tricky passages instantly easier, and youll definitely catch me encouraging my students to listen, listen, listen! Every genre of music has something different you can learn and it adds to your own creative toolkit. I expect students to practice regularly and thoughtfully - seeking to play their very best and working to improve every time they pick up their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My style is very simple: Dare to be great. I have found that performance in music is believing in yourself. That can only come when you have been taught good fundamentals coupled with freedom of expression to make mistakes. Only then, we have breakthroughs. Only then, we start having fun. Only then, we have the courage to be great. Then you are great. ...and the rest is history. Having said that, I inspire, not drive, my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I love seeing my students grow in their knowledge and appreciation of music! Excellence is rewarding, and I teach the process to get there from whatever level we begin. I use positive reinforcement and notice what the student is doing right. Then, I give critique and an action plan to improve performance. It feels good for the student and teacher when they learn the methods to break down what is currently difficult into smaller pieces so that it is both manageable and possible to go further than they thought.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is definitely one of the top questions I get from parents. If your child is consistently showing the desire to either sing or play an instrument, then it’s probably a good time to introduce them to a coach. By consistently, I mean for more than a couple of months. Children are fickle so you want to be patient to see if there is a persistence with their passion for a specific instrument.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been asked this question many times, and my answer is always the same, I didn’t choose my instrument, it chose me! I started singing at a very early age. My mom was the first one to notice my affinity for music and singing when I was five years old. One day while riding with her in our car, I started singing a song on the radio, and then started singing the harmony parts to the chorus. She immediately stopped the car, turned down the radio and asked me to sing a song with her. I can’t remember which one it was, but she then asked me to sing the harmony with her and I did. From that moment forward, she lovingly cultivated my passion for singing and the rest is history!
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results after the very first vocal lesson guaranteed. The method that I coach is nothing short of incredible. It made me a more powerful, controlled, dynamic and conditioned vocalist, and it will do the very same thing for you!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The advice I give all of my students for practicing effectively is One: Make sure you are practicing at least five days a week and optimally around the same time each day for scheduling consistency. Two: Always rest between exercises. Just like in the gym, give your muscles a chance to relax, and your brain a chance to allow the scope of the exercise to sink in between reps. 30 seconds is plenty of time between exercises. Three: Always start with a reasonable amount of time spent on each exercise before moving to the next. I have found that five minutes per exercise with 30 second rests in between is plenty to start with. As you become more comfortable and confident with the exercises, you can start adding time to each one for conditioning. Four: never let passion override your reason. Always be present in the moment to realize when your muscles are becoming fatigued. Each practice session will have an inflection point. Simply stop when you become overly tired.
