Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a musician at the heart of it all. Ever since I was a youngin' I've always had a melody or beat going in my head. I started playing guitar at age 11 and took lessons for about 6 months. After that most everything was self taught or came from experience with playing with others. I picked up drums about age 14 and am very comfortable and confident on both instruments 13+ years later.

Aside from attending to the normal duties of a section leader, there were several times when I would privately teach students or host sectionals at my home. I have done this for three years and it has been a major success. I love helping students develop their skills and seeing them grow. I would encourage practice at least a little bit each day and I always helped them prepare for a concert or a recital. Read More

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

As soon as I meet with a student or a group of students, I make sure they are welcomed by an energetic teacher before getting started on their lesson. I try to keep the student(s) engaged by showing them different ways and approaches to music from books and my own personal approaches to help them grow knowing their teacher is well experienced. Since their is a lot for a percussionist than just playing with sticks on a drum, there is no doubt that the endless possibilities in teaching students the various instruments will help keep them engaged as well being more excited about music.

I am a firm believer that the right teacher will save you years of time and money. My style is geared towards helping you establish a practice routine and a relationship with music that fulfills you during your entire music journey. For young students, I focus on building a healthy relationship with practice and learning that crosses over into all areas of study. I believe learning is great privilege and should be exciting!

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 like to create a very warm, encouraging, relaxed and positive atmosphere for all my students. My teaching style is very much student-led in terms of goals and preferences. While I will create a general plan for each student to reach their particular goals, I never see my lesson plans as these rigid constructs that must be stuck to closely, and a guitar lesson may shift gears right in the middle of the lesson if I feel a student needs to spend a bit of extra time on one skill or concept before moving on, or if I find the student has picked up something much more quickly than expected, and we can move on to the next thing, or if the student asks a question that leads us to dive a little deeper into one particular topic that wasn't necessarily on the plan.

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!
