Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
Upon a student's evaluation every lesson with any student should form it's own branch or life of it's own. Music is a passionate expression. I help students understand their instruments. Self expression, individualism, and self composition are traits I sought as a student and musician. My joy as a teacher, instructor and mentor is seeing the excitement someone achieves when they finally feel the "got it" or are starting to connect the dots. Read More

I am a current student at Ball State University studying to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Instrumental/General Music Education with an add-on in Vocal Education. I am passionate about teaching music and helping others reach their full potential on whatever instruments they want to play. I am versatile and can play on almost every instrument with piano as my primary focus. When I am not teaching, I spend my time practicing, performing, and always striving to improve on any and every instrument I have available. Read More

I start with a few different books depending on the student's interest. I try to encourage younger students to learn to read music. I have often used the Hal Leornard Guitar Method. Often adult students want to focus more on learning chords and how to play a few songs. Sometimes I use the Hal Learnard Tab Method or my own 16 page beginner's guitar book. Read More

I began giving guitar lessons around the age of 15. I was eventually hired as an instructor at GuitarWorks in Greenwood, Indiana where my teaching experience blossomed. I was able to work with five year olds to fifty year olds of all skill levels and musical interests. This greatly broadened my approach for each individual student to tailor my lessons according to their interests and goals. As I know from my own experience, an instructor can most certainly become a great influence and role model to their students. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Play Slow. Learn Fast. Stay Calm.
Many people make this crucial mistake when trying improve. We get impatient, antsy, and aggravated when we can't get something right away. Well we have to slow things down. When we slow things down we can give our brains a chance to acknowledge where the issues lie in our playing. It helps us figure out how to approach the issue differently rather than continuing to bang our heads against the wall and that gets us nowhere. Then we get better and more efficient at practicing and before you know you you're crushing songs you once thought were impossible to play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Sometimes you won't. I didn't know I was ready to start lessons until I got a guitar in my hands. If you're not sure if you child is ready, try to expose them to the instrument. Show them music, go to performances, have a friend who plays teach them a thing or two. If they love listening to music and always ask about it then they might be ready for lessons. Remember, though, it should be something THEY want to do. I've had so many children who were only taking guitar lessons because it was something their parents wanted for them. If their heart isn't in don't force it on them. It may just be that they haven't found the instrument that is calling for them.
When will I start to see results?
Learning an instrument is something that takes your entire life to master. But there are two things that you can do to see results right away: REGULAR practice and a DESIRE to practice. I can't emphasize this enough. A lesson is not practice. practice is done regularly between lessons so that there is some improvement to build upon for the next lesson. If you or your child are not practicing between lessons then you will not see any progress. In order to get better you need to build the neurological pathways that will facilitate the level of playing you want to achieve. Additionally, if you don't have the desire to practice then you won't see much improvement in your playing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I wouldn't say that I had a teacher that specifically inspired me to go into music. Rather, a local music shop owner donated guitars to my school and a group guitar elective class was created. I originally signed up so I could goof off but I found that I really loved the instrument. Because of him I was able to first be exposed to it and i was able to build a love for it. Additionally, my parents saw how much I was enjoyed this class. I wouldn't stop talking about and kept asking if I could get a guitar. Thankfully, they saw my interest and had the money to buy me my first guitar. I was so excited about it and they never had to tell me to go practice. I did it entirely on my own. Actually, most of the time they'd tell me to stop because I played so much, haha.
