For me seeing one of my students develop a passion for music is such areward! It is very important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I am constantly encouraging students to practice as slow as they need to. This eables students to have realistic goals each week that can be attained. It is important to take the time to acknowledge students and their accomplishments. This helps keep the learning fun and energetic. Read More

My teaching methods can be defined by a few words patient, fun, and above all, flexible. I believe maintaining great flexibility is the greatest way of making sure a student is not only learning at a great pace, but enjoying their journey as well. As this is the case, I create individual custom lesson plans for every single student I teach. For example, with younger students, I will generally try to make sure they are engaged and having as much fun as possible learning the instrument, this could come in the form of focusing on (at first) popular riffs or songs that the student would know and enjoy learning.

I have been playing professionally for over 40 years and have taught music for 30. I enjoy teaching people to play or sing music because it is a gift to be given and received. I can also assist with orchestration or arranging instruments into a group format for performance. I can teach anyone with an interest to learn and do so on a regular basis.I have taught country, blues, modern, metal, classical, folk music, jazz, etc. Read More

Each student interested in expanding their knowledge and abilities in voice, piano/keyboard or guitar will be introduced to reading music and asked to practice the lesson plan each week at home. With practice, you will see your abilities grow stronger and stronger, and you will be able to play and sing along to music with ease. We will be working from lesson books specifically designed for you, and each weekly lesson will be documented in a notebook as a daily practice reference guide. Read More

I have had a love a music for as long as I can remember. My mom used to play in her community band when she was pregnant with me. In 2013, I graduated from Chapman University with a Bachelor's degree in music performance, primarily in Trumpet and Bass Guitar. While in High School, I performed in every Ensemble I possibly could, which includes Symphonic Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band. Read More

I help students to progress at their own pace. Little by little, we build upon what we learned in the previous lesson. In the first lesson, I make sure to establish goals that we can always work to achieve. Read More

I like to see what type of music you like and base my lessons around that specific band or style. I will make transcriptions of a song that you've always wanted to learn and we will go over it together. I think playing stuff that you are interested in makes learning music so much more rewarding, you will have to learn the basics like scales, hand positions, and specific techniques but doing it while not thinking you're doing tedious work is so much more fun.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in high school I had a teacher who was around 70 years old. He has since passed away, but his wisdom and advice constantly lives on in my practicing, teaching, and performances. He was the first person to genuinely believe in me. He actively encouraged me to pursue music. Without him, I don't think I would have had the courage to even attempt it. I only studied with him for a few short years, but he was by far the most influential teacher I have ever had. He had so many fun and amazing anecdotes that he always shared, taught me how to practice effectively, and corrected a lot of bad habits I had formed with previous teachers-and in so doing helped me understand the importance of playing in a healthy way. He was always so kind and sincere. He called us all his kids, and even encouraged me to refer to him affectionately as my grandfather, telling me the name his grandkids used for him and that I could call him that if I wanted. He was also quite blunt when it came to making corrections during lessons, and enforced me being completely honest with myself about my playing. "You can lie to anyone else," he would quip, "but never lie to yourself." That wisdom helped me to progress so much. Throughout the years I have included so many of his examples, analogies, and sayings into my teaching...one that always made me laugh was "rhythm is like the bones in your body-without it you're just a blob on the floor!" I learned a lot about the world of music through him, and seeing it through his eyes was always so much fun. He is always in the back of my mind when I'm teaching, and I am constantly striving to meet the high expectations and jovial spirit of the music he instilled in me.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly and thoughtfully. My favorite teacher from high school used to always tell me "Practice smarter, not harder!" I love using practice journals to figure out practice trends and get to the bottom of recurring mistakes. Recording yourself is another great tool to use. And of course using a metronome is always extremely important.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When they get super excited about music! The year I started taking violin lessons I literally begged my parents to let me learn. I was always a quiet child, and never asked for much...so when I told them all I wanted for Christmas was a violin and lessons they realized how badly I wanted to learn. My advice is to always have music on in the background. Allow them to ask questions and encourage them to express themselves. When they are ready to start lessons they will let you know! :)
When will I start to see results?
What a great question! It's different for everyone. I find that with my students it can be a bit slow at the beginning. I want to make sure they are set up for success in the future, so I am pretty detail oriented about things like posture, eliminating tension, and producing a beautiful sound. Once those things are happening I find that my students tend to progress pretty quickly. In general I dislike making comparisons and blanket statements, so I won't hazard a guess with specific numbers (again, every student is unique!), but if you are dedicated and determined enough to get the basics down first then you will ultimately be able to progress much more rapidly and will have a much more gratifying experience with music.
