And both sides share the joy of these discoveries. It is very important for me to be friendly, open and patient with the students. I believe that the educators are to do their best to build up and maintain the sense of acceptance in all students. Interaction between students and teacher is fertile with opportunities to sow the seeds of acceptance. Another important parts of teachers mission are nourishing students natural curiosity and helping them to develop their problem-solving abilities. Read More

First thing's first: 1) WHAT are you listening to, lately? 2) WHY are you interested in learning music? 3) WHERE do you hope music will take you? This helps me to find out what my student's interests are, and where their passion is. Two beginners of the same age learning the same instrument, for instance, can have vastly goals, interests, and areas of strength. For beginners: scales, simple melodic pieces, and a very basic overview of notation, key, and time. Read More

I learned my craft based on passion and feeling and I teach exactly like that. It's all from the heart. Read More

Nothing is more pleasant than being able to inspire my students to become passionate in what they do, and do what they love. The first thing i do when i begin the process of teaching a student is to ask him/her what he desires to achieve with what he wants to learn, from there i establish the intensity and demand in the apprenticeship. For those who want to achieve a professional level in the instrument must compromise his effort and his time in the study of his instrument. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I have always enjoyed teaching others. Even in high school, I consistently helped my peers with their learning and enjoyed helping them learn how to play percussion instruments. After starting college in 2009, I began formally teaching percussion privately and in groups at high schools in my area. I have since expanded to teaching guitar, bass guitar, and composition, incorporating compositional elements into all of my lessons. I have found that encouraging students to explore music through composing original material helps them in every other facet of learning music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice equals regular practice. Take the stress off of thinking about how often you practice and create a simple practice habit complete with a trigger, action, reward, and belief. I am addicted to coffee. I will not drink a cup of coffee unless I have practiced. Every day when I wake up, I start the coffee maker, which takes about 20 minutes to brew. During that brew time, I practice string bass. Now that my practice has been made more regular, I have gotten much better, and I have been able to recognize greater rewards beyond a cup of joe. These include, feeling great, sounding great, and greater opportunities. Some days though I really, really, really, don't want to practice. On those days I have to remember WHY I decided to practice in the first place. I love helping people. I support my family, friends, and my musical peers with my consistency on the string bass. When I take days off of practice, I believe that it directly hurts them and I don't want that! So, why do you want to practice?
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child was born, your family did not give them the silent treatment until they were deemed "ready" for speech did they? Who would ever do that?? Instead they were exposed to numerous native speakers on a daily basis until they said their first word. (Mine was "light") Even now, your child receives languages lessons of the highest caliber from people all around them. Music is similar to language in that kids learn quickly at a young age. That is why singing nursery rhymes with your child was so important! (Way to go!) . Now, if your child is experiencing less opportunity to make music, or if they need extra support with expressing themselves creatively, music lessons are a fantastic option. Aside from all of the neurological benefits music provides children, it is a great way to have fun and make friends. If your child is ready for that, then they are probably ready for music lessons!
When will I start to see results?
Your instructor is responsible for guiding you to the results that you are hoping for, but if your idea of results is headlining at Red Rocks and you just learned how to tune your instrument, you may be waiting for a while. On the other hand, highlighting results like knowing how to breathe properly, can be super boring and uninspiring. Here are some results that I like to see in my own musical life : not getting lost in a song, listening to others while I play, playing for somebody sick, playing an old song for a memory patient, having fun while practicing, making a friend who plays my instrument, playing a recital, not losing focus while practicing, creating something, being comfortable with playing... Having an instructor is a great way to help you stay motivated and focus on what is really important along every step of your musical journey. Go get some results!
