My methods for teaching involve the topics I learned in my Guitar Technique course. I introduce the CAGED System. Where basic open position chords are moved around the fretboard to cover scale shapes, and arpeggios. This is a great way to map the fretboard, and provide positions to improvise on solos. With this I also blend music theory in which I call the mixture "Fretboard Theory." Theory is what we cover in scales that tell what quality they have, (Major, Minor, ETC). Read More

My teaching style is all about enjoying music and the instrument. I can pick up when a student is frustrated, confused or embarrassed and adjust the lesson accordingly. Overall, I want my students to have fun! I enjoy teaching how to read music and once a few notes are learned, I start applying it to songs that my students really enjoy. I also like to teach scales and harmonic structure so my students can begin to understand what's really going on in the music they enjoy. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
We all approach and learn at different levels and paces. I watch my students growth on an individual basis. That being said, I set goals and give assignments that are achievable. I do enjoy letting the student pick a song they want to learn and going over the song together. But I also bring in my own exercises and knowledge in site reading, music theory, harmony, practice methods and proper technique. Read More

I am a kind yet honest person. Therefore, I won't shy away from criticism, but will always do so in a respectful and proactive manner. Every student is different and I believe it is my job to adapt to fit their needs. It is wonderful to see students excited and prideful of seeing results from hard work. First and foremost, it is my job to provide a positive atmosphere a student feels comfortable in. Read More

I am a lifelong musician, producer and passionate educator. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, my musical background is rich and diverse and spans many genres.

His broad musical experience allows him to appeal to students with an interest in exploring various musical styles. Throughout my musical career I have played with notable acts such as Dominick Farinacci, Elijah Gilmore and Gerald LaVert. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose voice as my primary instrument because I feel most alive when I am singing. I love playing my other instruments, but it doesn't feel as natural as when I am singing. I don't get nervous or concentrate as heavily as I do when I'm playing the other instruments. I love being able to express myself through voice when words fail. Everyone loves a beautiful song, and it's also something that everyone can relate to when they hear it. I feel free and like there are no problems in the world when I am singing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud that I have continued my journey from elementary school all the way to now and learned new types of music along the way. I never restricted myself to one type of music, and was willing to listen to advice that anyone had to give me. It has changed over the years, but it still holds true that I love singing the best. I'm also proud of the various shows I have been a part of, and the experiences I've gained through that. Performing at Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center was also a great accomplishment.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father was a rock musician who sang and played guitar in various bands around my home town and also wrote his own music and recorded solo records. My uncle also performed with him and plays several instruments, including mandolin, guitar, violin, and sings. My twin cousins play several instruments including banjo, guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, and violin and sing as well. They have sang in various bands around our hometown as well. I'm very lucky to come from a musical family, as I think it has helped shaped my experiences in music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician when I couldn't think of anything else I would rather be doing. I couldn't see myself stuck in an office all day, and I needed to be doing something creative. I never wanted to have a job that I didn't like, because life is too short to be unhappy with what you're doing every day. Nothing makes me happier than passing on my gift of music to others, and this way I am also improving my own technique by teaching someone else. It is a rewarding job that is fun!
