Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder Music Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I incorporate a well-rounded approach with my students by teaching musical skills beyond their particular instruments such as aural skills and theory. I use my background and training in Kodaly and Orff to teach music like a language by directing my students through experience and practice of the concept for better understanding. I use positive reinforcement and keep things fun for all ages. In each lesson, I work on aural skills and theory through fun warm-up games that get gradually more challenging as time continues.

Instruments: Voice
I don't believe in wasting too much of a student's time running scales. I'll test your ear and your sense of pitch with a few scales initially, and then move on to the study of singing styles, the key aspects or projection, dynamics, phrasing, and how to blend your influences into your own style, while offering some tips on breathing well and staying fit: a great singer, much like an athlete, must stay in training, and always have ears to hear more and learn more.

I am a creative teacher that looks and listens to the individual to help them to master the musicianship to play their instrument with the best sound and learn and apply the style of music being studied. From my yoga training I apply ideas of right alignment that help the student to play ergronomically correct. From my Suzuki training, I apply the principles of beautiful sound and learning both by ear and with music. Read More

As a beginning student who is starting from "scratch" I use the "Strictly Strings". book 1 for the basic instruction. As the student progresses I will add sheet music or may have a book the student can borrow. I will ask the parent to by a book on occasion especially if the child has a particular interest that would benefit from it, There is a wide variety of materials that a well suited for private lessons, but I have used the Strictly Strings" series of books and collaborative materials.

I like using the Faber books for children and supplement with classical pieces from Snell. For adults, I see where they are and use adult beginning books or other appropriate material depending on their interests. I usually start each student learning their major chords through the keys as soon as they are physically able, because once you learn your chords, sight reading and other playing becomes much easier. i also teach scales because if you can play your scales you can learn to play in all different keys.

Instruments: Guitar Violin Viola
My teaching experience began when I was in High School, where I was a mentor to students in their middle school orchestra and a section leader for the violas. Directly after high school, I went to school at BYU-Idaho where I studied for 5 years as a musician and a teacher. I studied with Dr. Kevin Call, a viola student of both Don McInnes and William Primrose himself. I worked closely with Dr. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
If there is a particular song that a student is interested in learning, I will do my best to find the music for it and if it is not available, I will transcribe a version myself. As far as drumset goes, I teach the students the way I was taught. I first teach them the basics on snare drum. Then we move to snare and bass and afterwards snare, bass drum, and hi-hat. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
my father was my teacher for the most part because we learned how to play guitar together but he already knew the basics like chords and notes.
he inspired me a lot and i can never see myself stop playing guitar.
i love it with all my heart and soul and with his help i have been able to do what i have done.
i do not think i would have stuck it out the 1st month if he didn't make it fun for me and i tank him for that.
i also took lessons from a fellow student in high school i looked up to because he was older and already in an established band.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
i chose the guitar after watching the Beatles "a hard day night" movie.
I fell in love with the looks of the bass and asked my dad for a guitar on my 12th birthday hoping i would get one like that but instead he busted out an old silvertone guitar his parents ordered out of the sears catalog for him as a kid but he never learn it until we learn together so that was wonderful!
i love playing many instruments but guitar is my main instrument by choice because i have a passion that comes out when i play it and i wouldn't trade that for the world
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My most musical accomplishment of all time would be when my old band opened up for TESTAMENT who was all of our idols and they liked our music so we got to hangout with them afterwards.
I always wanted to make a sound of my own and when i was playing a gig somewhere another musician told me if there was an award for the most unique sound i would have it hands down and i was happy because since i was about 14 or 15 i always wanted to create my own genre of music.
i am also very happy to see my students progress!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students all win awards by me but only won has went out and won actual awards for playing proficient in his band class!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
the hardest thing to master on the guitar i think is theory and sweep picking.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
i use a variety of books from Wolf Marshall which is what i started out using to the world wide web
