Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar
I currently use Piano Adventures Lesson and Theory books for beginner students. I have also used the Alfred series and really like the Finger Power series, too. Fundamentals of music theory is extremely important for new students of any age. I ask students to use the Music Tutor App to help them learn note names for the treble and bass clefs, and they learn by playing a fun game. We sometimes have competitions with siblings to see who can get the highest score! Read More

Instruments: Guitar
I will use what I learned at the University of Arkansas in my teaching methods and approach the guitar in a classical sense, meaning properly learning chords, scales, arpeggios and so on. I will have books that the student will learn songs and techniques from depending on the direction they want to go musically. If there is a specific song the student wants to learn I will help them work their way through it note by note. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More

I am a prolific 24-year-old multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and music producer from Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas who is passionate about sharing my love for music and creative expression with others. Having played music my whole life, and having explored computer-based music production for a decade now, I pursued guitar studies at Berklee College of Music with a primary emphasis on jazz while enrolled in the Electronic Production & Design program. In 2014, I left school, working briefly as a QA tester and audio hardware and software developer for SONiVOX, a subsidiary company of music industry leader inMusic (mother company of AKAI, Alesis, Numark, Air, etc.).

Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
No matter which instrument I give lessons on, my overall goal and desire is that the student first, has FUN, second, sees themselves progressing on their instrument, and thirdly, get to experience the joy, satisfaction and confidence one gains in playing the songs they enjoy themselves. To see smiles appear on faces of students, and hear how excited they were the first time they played a popular song they know and love well in front of some else. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Music
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes. As I previously mentioned, I've had several students go on to become music majors at college. Some making a living at music. And some winning their school's talent contest. I really enjoy my students playing a piece they have written. I encourage composition and teach how to compose, when the student is ready.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Correct fingering is quite important on piano, guitar and bass guitar. On piano, playing two different parts can be challenging. Reading two different clefs can be confusing and difficult to some students. Guitar and bass guitar are initially, painful to play. Hand muscles need to be trained and strengthened. Callouses need to develop.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am very progressive but I teach to the individual student. All students, and people, are unique, and I customize my lessons to fit the students wants and needs and personality. Other considerations are the students time, and what their goals are with music. Cookie cutter methods don't work for me at all. I've taught several students with Autism, Asperger's, and various learning disabilities, with great success.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I teach my students to 1. Practice shortly after the lesson, so the student remembers the lesson. 2. If they have a problem with a measure or section, to stop, analyze, and fix the part. Break it in to small pieces, and figure it out, and once it is correct, play it over and over to get it in your muscle memory. 3. Just playing through a song, skipping over the mistakes, is NOT practicing or learning.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been fortunate enough to have toured the world, several times, with performers of all levels of success and popularity. I have worked, in the recording studio , doing countless recordings, with all types of artists. I've written, produced, and recorded commercial spots, for several large advertising agencies, through the years. I love performing and entertaining people. I also love teaching music. There is nothing like music. I feel that, us older, experienced players, have a duty to pass the torch.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was quite young, I would see an organ or piano, and they always fascinated me. I loved the sound and the fact that the instrument can act like an entire orchestra. I picked up guitar, in college, and then bass. Understanding keyboard and piano, which is music theory laid out in front of you, I was able to teach myself both guitar and bass.
