Instruments: Guitar
Beginning students I will start with Hal Leonards beginning guitar and school of rock tablature so theyre learning both tab and notes. More advanced students will learn jazz out of multiple different books. We can start the lessons usually with warmups on scales, arpeggios and chords then for the rest of the lesson, focus on material. Developing your ear, or what is usually known as musicianship, is also something that I offer in addition to music theory. Read More

Rewind to the year 1996. I was in a local music store looking at the bulletin board looking for a band/bandmates. One index card caught my attention in particular: "Looking for someone to teach my 15 year old son guitar, can pay $20.00 an hour." I took the card and raced home and called her. Turns out she lived next door! Turns out he could play a little bit, so during my stint w/ him we took songs apart, put them back together then played them. Read More

I am a musician with a passion for sharing my craft with others. I have an extensive background in instrumental music and music production. Violin is my primary instrument, but I am also proficient in many other string and percussion instruments. I have prior classroom teaching experience at the high school level, where I also directed and conducted musicals. I own a fully functioning multi-track home recording studio that I use to compose and produce music of varying genres. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I have been teaching for about 6 months, and so far it has been a great experience. Watching a student become passionate about learning how to read and perform music reminds me of why I am a musician myself. I find that a student is most successful when they have something to work on that stimulates their interest. It encourages more practice and leads to faster development of instrument control and understanding of the way music works. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The methods I use change depending on the student, but generally, I use the following: - Piano: start with Alfreds (suited for age/proficiency), then choose a specialty (improvising, classical, pop, etc) - Guitar: start with Hal Leonard (for note reading), then choose a specialty (jazz, pop, classical, flamenco, etc) - Voice: because of the nature of the human voice, I dont use a book, but rather teach principles and methods to use during practice and performance Regardless of the instrument, I hope to help you improve as much as I can.

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!
