Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba
I earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in 2008 and 2009 in Euphonium Performance and Music Education from the University of North Texas while studying with the renowned Dr. Brian Bowman. While there, I advanced to the final round of a United States Navy Band audition. From 2010-2019, I served as a band director in three different school districts in Texas; now I teach private lessons full-time in the North Dallas area. I love nothing more than opening students' eyes to the riches and depth of musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
I started my teaching carreer in 1994, teaching doublebass and bass guitar. Two years later I began offering guitar lessons. In 1998 I offered cello lessons. My passion for teaching has grown over the years, and brought me great pleasure helping beginner students gain skills, confidence, and a sense of pride and accomplishment in learning to successfully play a musical instrument. I been able to teac advanced bass students techniques that increased their playing skills and understanding of their instrument and music in general. My greatest pleasure was helping a young, nervous, shy, and self conscious young boy, and over time, with his efforts and my guidance, was able to apply and get accepted into music college. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and need. can help you out. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Mock auditions and constructive feedback are integral parts of this process. Creativity and Songwriting: I encourage students to be creative by composing their own songs or arranging existing pieces. This not only enhances their musicality but also fosters a deeper connection to their voice and artistic expression. Technology Integration: I use recording technology and audiovisual aids to help students analyze their performances objectively. This allows for more precise feedback and self-assessment, aiding in continuous improvement. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I also use the Essentially Strings for some beginning cello students, depending on the student. As we progress in cello, they would need to purchase a scale book, possibly other Suzuki books, an etude book, as well as other individual pieces that they would learn. I am a very technically based teacher, so the basics and foundational methods are very important and would be the primary focus in the beginning, as we learn and gain comfort with all string instruments.

Instruments: Guitar
I got my first guitar in the summer of 2001 and found the guitar was a great hobby when I was bored and couldn't find anything else to do. My passion for the guitar grew exponentially when I started getting better at it. I recieved only a few lessons from private intructors before I went to college and learn how to 'really' play the guitar. Two summers ago I had my first students and it was great to be on the other side as an instructor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I began teaching flute lesson when I was a sophomore in high school in 2010 by helping middle school students, as well as other high school students, to prepare for band auditions. I taught throughout my time in college as well. I took a short break after graduating with my master's but have since returned to teaching in the Rockwall area. I have also taught in larger group settings, working with marching band flute sections and flute choir. Read More
Instruments: Drums Music
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had many teachers who inspired me over the years.
I started taking lessons in school in the 4th grade and started private lessons in the 5th grade.
My first private drum teacher had a huge impact on me. He was a cool guy and I looked up him. He was knowledgeable and extremely patient. His ability to teach kept me engaged and excited. I was learning something new during every lesson.
I'll never forget him.
In my late teens, I studied with the late, great Charles (Charlie) Perry, renowned big band drummer and the author of many seminal, instructional drum books. I was in awe of him. He was a straight shooter and provided honest criticism and guidance that has lasted a lifetime.
When will I start to see results?
I make sure we see progress every day. From Day 1, students progress because they are learning something new every time we meet. Playing an instrument is just like learning another language. You start out learning to read and write letters, then they move on to words, then to sentences, then to paragraphs. Similarly, learning to play music progresses using the same formula.
But it takes a dedicated student to practice what is being taught. The more time a student dedicates to learning and practicing their instrument, the quicker they will see results.
This means practicing everyday. Taking private lessons at least once a week with an instructor is also a key ingredient. Be sure to schedule "make up" lessons if one is missed. It's important to keep the momentum going. Students must be committed to their musicianship and to their instrument.
But realize that nothing happens overnight. It takes patience, perseverance, and dedication to see results. The key ingredient is to work with a private instructor who can teach them correctly. The rest will come naturally.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There are many things to consider.
Is your child musically inclined?
Is your child always tapping their feet and hands while listening to music?
Can you, as a parent/guardian, sense they have a feel for music or is it just nervous energy?
Do they dream or talk about about playing an instrument, in particular playing the drums and being a drummer?
Do they idolize a particular band or drummer?
Is your child interested in Band or Orchestra in school?
Are they currently taking lessons in school?
Speak to your child. Ask them if they're ready?
Ask yourself, as their parent or guardian, if you're ready to support a drummer in the household. Noise is a factor and that needs to be considered.
Does your child have a disability? Physical or emotional? Sometimes a disabled child can use drums as part of their therapy. Children with emotional and behavioral conditions can be tempered with drum lessons. Check with their primary doctor, specialist, or caregiver to see if taking up the drums make sense.
Lastly, never force anything on a child unless it's obvious they have a proclivity towards something. This goes for the drums, as well.
