I like to know what it is the student wants to learn. It is very important that the student has a grasp on the fundamentals of music and music theory so they can understand what it is they are learning, but every student should have the opportunity to adjust and set their own pace. I also want my students to have their passion and drive for music to be renewed every week after each lesson. Read More

Having fun as one learns their craft is of the utmost importance. Therefore it is my goal to incorporate as much material that is relevant to the student's personal tastes and goals as possible. It's also rewarding to help a student discover something new that they love! Read More

I first find out a little bit about my students musical likes and taste, or, with younger students, find somethingfun that interests them, just to find some common ground. I also find out a students long term goals. For instance, if a student seeks to be a opera singer as opposed to a worship leader, the training needs to be more pointed towards classical pieces and Arias instead of learning church music and how to engage a crowd.

I have a love and passion for music and I am equally passionate about passing on all of the knowledge I have gained over my years to the students I get to work with. In 2013, I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Electric Bass Performance. At Berklee, I was mentored by some of the most amazing musicians in the world and I am delighted to get opportunities to mentor others like I was while in school. Read More

I realize that each student is different, so I treat them as individuals. However, I do stress regular daily practice, even for short time periods. Regularity in practice is more important than long practice periods in my experience. I try to apply the three T's in my own playing and gradually incorporate these into my teaching, TASTE, TONE and TECHNIQUE. I enjoy seeing students progress because it reassures me that I understand the subject well, You have to know a subject 3 times as well if you teach it because a student will always ask a question you never thought of.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've recorded two albums, and have a catalog of original music for future recordings.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not to my knowledge, but maybe you can be the first.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Every student will have their own answer and I would not want to influence anyone with my own bias here.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I've used many method books, but settled on Faber , Alfred, and/or Bastien for piano students; FJH, Alfred, and/or Basix for guitar students. These methods present the information in the best way, have the best songs, and are easiest to follow.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I had the idea from a very young age, and it just never went away. Between my junior and senior years of high school I attended the Berklee 5-week Summer program and that convinced me to pursue music as a career and go to Berklee.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother sang in choirs, but my family is not really musical.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Any of my own because I wrote them.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something that helps other people and gets me outside. Fireman?
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important thing is consistency. Practice every day, even if it's just a few minutes.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That changes every day.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on piano because I loved Classical music, but took up the guitar as a teenager because I wanted to play more Rock and Popular music I was hearing on the radio.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in Performance because I wanted to be an excellent player of my instrument. I also got a degree in Business just to be educated in that side of music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
There is no normal. I work on what needs to be practiced, but I always with a stopwatch so I know how much time I've put in.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had many great teachers. My first piano teacher, Carolyn Victorine, taught me for 11 years. She was always positive and encouraging, and I strive to teach the same way. Rarely will a negative phrase come out of my mouth during a lesson.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano and guitar are equally important to me. I could never pick one over the other. However, I gravitated toward these two instruments because of the incredible capabilities they offer to play any kind of music you want.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
First of all, are they enthusiastic about music? Children can start musical instruction as early as 4 years old, and even younger in some specialized programs. It really depends on the child, and the approach of
the teacher. I've had students begin at 4 years old, but I wasn't ready myself until the age of 7. With young children I'm careful to pick age-appropriate material and incorporate other activities to enhance the learning. A trial lesson is the best way to assess their potential.
When will I start to see results?
There is no universal answer for this, but if a student is committed to practicing regularly and putting in the effort, results should come quickly. I strive to teach something new every lesson, and push students just enough to keep them improving without overwhelming them.
