Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard
It is my intention that all of my students understand the importance and opportunities of music. Music is reviving for the soul, academically productive, and a lucrative choice of career if done right. My practice materials for beginner students are flexible. I often use the Alfred or Nancy Faber series, however I find it more important that beginning students grasp general concepts, while simultaneously practicing fine touch on the keys. Read More

I have a very laidback, low-pressure approach - if you didn't practice, it's not the end of the world! I think back to my own days of taking lessons and remember how much more I improved in this type of environment, and how much more I loved the process. The difference between these approaches can be night and day, both in results and morale out of the student (which, again, I know from experience as a teacher, but also from my experience as a student).

I love seeing and sharing my students passion for music. I can be rather silly and love to laugh, but I also believe that excellence is a habit. Therefore, I try to keep each lesson engaging and fun while also setting reasonable goals for my students. I also want to help my students develop consistent practice habits so that they can see how practicing leads to improvement. Lastly I want to help my students make music that inspires them. Read More

I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly. This diverse background makes me relatiable to students with all different learning styles, interests, and skill sets. Read More

I have experience with several formal guitar training approaches that I have studied personally as well as analyzed at University. I am able to bring the best aspects of these methods, along with my own insights to help individual students, taking into account the needs of each unique student. Especially with beginner students, I usually use some of my own exercises and reading sheets. For me, thinking about visual coordination is important, so I always want to gauge students note reading skills. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Perfect practice makes perfect! Even if you are doing something at a slow pace, but doing it perfectly, it is much better than doing it fast and not having correct technique. You will eventually get the speed, but how you are executing the technique is what's important.
I started playing piano when I was 7, and even 15 minutes a day was effective when I first started. If you can practice more, great! But if you can't, just allow yourself 15-20 minutes a day, and you will start to see results. Always practice in a quiet and tranquil space with no distractions around. It should be your safe space that you love to be in!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they start asking about music, responding well to it, and showing and interest in it, they are ready! I remember asking my mother at age 7 if I could take piano lessons, and I'm so fortunate she was willing to let me do that because it started me on a lifelong musical journey.
If they understand an alphabet and basic reading skills, they can definitely learn music notes and a scale. I believe it will only help them in their other subjects they are learning, and will improve their attention span.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is different, so it's hard to exactly say when you will see results. You might see results immediately, and for others it might take a couple months. Your main goal should be to see a difference in yourself, not to compare to how fast or slow others are learning. Every lesson you will be learning something and will be a mini milestone for you. You should feel proud of the fact you are learning and executing new techniques. Sometimes a goal can just be to have better breath control, and if you are doing that in your scales and exercises, you will see the results!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school music teacher was also my violin teacher in 3rd grade, and then my chorus teacher in 5th grade. She taught me how to sing and find a love in expressing yourself through music. I felt that she inspired me to never be afraid with music, and it was always my first love. Without her guidance, I don't know if I would've found out that I love singing so much. She was always patient, kind and inspiring. She was always encouraging and always was excited when her students made improvements and showed an interest in music. All she asked was for a smile every day and to put in your best effort which is something that still holds true for me today.
