Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Music Keyboard
My teaching methods focus on building on the fundamentals of embodied proficiency with music (not just how to "read what's on the page", but first how to feel and delve into what's happening with all the moving parts and their many relationalities). For both children and adult students, before getting into structures and representations, the starting point will be the embodied feelings and experiences of and around music. In the first lesson, even my absolutely-beginner students will be having fun jamming, exploring and applying newly-learned things before we even talk about what a major scale is. Read More

I've been teaching for over 10 years. I first try to figure the students' taste and style of music. I teach songs they like and want to learn. My theory is, there's a lesson in every song. I want lessons to be informative, educational and enjoyable. I strive to develop the student into a confident, proud musician that feels comfortable playing in any situation - not just at lesson time. I encourage all my students to interact and play with other students any chance they get, whether at school or friends Read More

I have been teaching, recording, producing, and performing music since I was 14. I have 60 productions, currently from a 3 piece band, and perform across the Triangle. I have my own business with over 20 students weekly. I also work for two local music instruction companies and teach an audio production course after school at Duke Middle. I also played with Payne’s Chapel Gospel, Women’s, Men’s, and Mass Choirs from age 13 until 26. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Flute Drums Piccolo Acoustic Guitar
I absolutely love getting students really excited about their instrument. I like to show videos of high level playing and introduce a wide variety of genres and styles while I find exactly what it is that inspires the student to play. My lesson structure normally consists of a warm up, rudiment/sticking work, reading or playing exercise and new concepts, then work on a song. I really try to get my students playing along with tracks so they can hear how drums sound in a band setting and apply it to their playing! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, having taught private trumpet, guitar, and bass guitar students in Fargo, North Dakota, and continuing to do so in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, where I taught guitar, trumpet, and trombone at B's Music Shop. My collegiate teaching experience began at Concordia College, being a Teaching Assistant for a Brass Methods class, and fulfilling a similar teaching the same course at Central Michigan University.

For students of all ages, it is important to remember that the individual is key. From the youngest beginner to the seasoned pro, everyone learns in their own individual way. Because of this, I find it very necessary to hone in on the interests, aptitude, and abilities of each of my students in order to give them the best possible instruction. A student who is engaged on their own terms and who has a say in their own path through music instruction often becomes a successful and lifelong musician. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Since I've been playing music, a lot of people have started gathering around me. They came to me when I was performing or enjoying myself. During my college days, I learned a lot about my friends because of the music, and they gave me a lot of help when they were struggling with music. I also created a career studio to help more people as I began to teach my envious friends how to play and how to play. At that time, I became a guitar instructor and I am happily teaching students.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My family is all musicians. Every family member can play from one to eight instruments, and is active everywhere. Especially guitars can play well and sing well. It is one of the happiest moments when family members play music together. Sometimes I invite people I know to open mini-concerts and give them happiness.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I did not become a musician, I would be a university professor. It is my dream to become a professor and teach students what they have and to make them better society.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like classical music very much. Classic is a high-level, deep-seated piece of music that has been trained through a long history. It is also one of the reasons why I like classical music that it is easy to master other music genres after mastering classical music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I can play harmonica in addition to guitar. Harmonica can play with guitar while hanging on the neck together. So I started playing harmonica and now I can play well. At first it was a bit difficult to learn differently from the guitar, but the harmonica was simple and could get used to it soon. Since then I've been playing harmonica with guitar accompaniment.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a special music degree. However, I do not need a separate degree because I have learned and practiced so much that I can not miss Degree. It is a lesson that emphasizes practicality rather than Degree, so we are prepared to meet the needs of students.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream is to create an ensemble of various age groups. It is my dream that I want to make an ensemble that can give an impression and joy to the audience as well as solving the conflict between the generations by playing together and widening the understanding of each other and narrowing the age gap.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My usual student practice is calm. Students are not involved when practicing. During the exercise, the important thing is to take notes and then explain them step by step. To keep students engaged in practice, they maintain a stable state of mind. If your mind is not stable, you will easily lose concentration or lose interest. In order to prevent that, we make the atmosphere as stable as possible.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The guitar can be played simply for singing accompaniment depending on the purpose, or it can be performed as a solo or ensemble at a high level. Singing accompaniment can be learned without difficulty. However, you need to learn a variety of methods to achieve a high level of performance. The hardest thing was to play notes on the beat.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The guitar lesson I teach is Step by Step. It starts out very easy at first and gradually goes up to a higher level. Since I have studied not only music but also various fields, I look at the students' psychology and develop them accordingly. I use the materials I have created to learn the code. It is not only for general music but also for other guitars, so you can learn it easily because it starts with the code that can easily be caught by the human body and it is difficult to learn by the code. We use Hal Leonard and many other materials for classical and special performances.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have never been specifically awarded. Because my lessons are not meant to be a prize, but to make life happier, the students I have taught are happy to be performing in many places. Recently, I was fortunate to be selected as a music talent coordinator in a group of students who was recognized by my ability.
