Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My number one goal is to help my students accomplish their musical dreams, whether that be a classical pianist, a pop singer, the front person for a rock band, write songs or compose music for film, or just sing their favorite song of all time, whatever it takes, I will make sure that we get to the musical destination. It's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I always ask my students for one long term goal and one short term goal so that we can cast vision for where we are headed, map out the challenges along the way, but also celebrate the goals that we accomplish especially in the short term.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
For beginning students I teach out of the Rubank Elementary Method books. These books are most comprehensive for beginning students. As the student progresses I begin introducing them to solo repertoire, scales studies, and jazz improvisation. My approach is much different with adult students. I ask them what are their musical goals and from there I can create a curriculum based on adult students needs and wants. My teaching method works for all students, no matter the age or musical level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I began teaching at Derby Yamaha Music School, UK, coaching classes and private lessons for voice and piano. After leaving England, I began teaching at Pladd Dot Music, Statesboro. Here, I taught many students both voice and piano. Two in particular required coaching in their respective pageant and regional championship. Working together on technique etc, the students gained the title of Miss Hummingbird, as well as qualification to Miss Georgia, and qualification to regional championship this summer (2016).

Instruments: Piano Flute Ukulele Recorder Piccolo
Lessons will feature a warm-up period, followed by review of material from previous lessons, playing of new material, and wrap-up with sightreading and assignments for next lesson. Students are often encouraged to self-evaluate and set their own level of rigor. I believe in a collaborative approach that involves questioning students and having students ask questions of themselves. More than having students be able to perform technically, I want students to have an understanding of music and their instrument intimately, from their own awareness, rather than rote explanation or practice.

Instruments: Piano Violin Clarinet Keyboard
Music is like learning a new language. Its a completely different concept. For beginning children repetion is the key. Children love repetion so Suzuki is perfect. Dr. Suzuki's idea is the mother and child learn the instrument at the same time so that the child can hear the tunes and can play it on the violin. Its the same idea that the suzuki method comes with a CD that the child can listen to. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I was the principle pianist for the Martin Symphonic Orchestra and one of the main soloists for the Martin Jazz Group. I was an opening act performing on synthesizer with my band at the Kansas City Music Festival. I've won many awards and medals competing on flute and saxophone at the local and state level. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child, I was a big fan of Paul McCartney and how he used the bass as a songwriter. As I got older, I discovered Flea and became amazed by the possibilities of what could be played on the bass.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is the discipline to practice everyday. It is not easy to practice when you don't want to. In those moments, it is important to have an end goal in the big picture. That way you can remember why you need to practice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I do have some family members who are into music. My cousin is a wonderful pianist who studied Jazz at Loyola University New Orleans, and my uncle is a Classical guitar enthusiast.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I remember wanting to become a musician the moment I saw Paul McCartney live. I was 8 years and I thought to myself "I want to do that".
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second instrument was classical guitar. I had a student come to me and said they wanted to learn classical guitar. When I started playing, I quickly realized that my fingerstyle techniques from bass translated really well.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to play is Jazz. I feel like it gives me freedom to express myself musically while challenging me to focus on not just what I am playing, but what the entire band is playing.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Skateboarding and baseball!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chromatic Fantasy by Bach on bass. Jaco Pastorius performed this piece on a fretless bass. To me, this song represents the ultimate ability of dexterity on the bass guitar.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an Associate's Degree is Music & Technology with a focus in bass guitar. I chose this because I always loved to play bass and I wanted to learn every aspect of music theory around it.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Time management. I recommend writing out a practice schedule. This will help make sure the student hits everything evenly and helps prevent over-practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They are ready when they express a strong interest in music. It is time when all the child wants to do is listen to and play music. It is not necessarily the age that determines if a child is ready, but it is their drive and focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I choose the Hal Leonard books. From my experience, it has some of the best reading exercises for kids. Overall, their books are accessible and easy for beginners to follow.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I spend 10 minutes warming up and stretching my hands. If I have something pressing (like a setlist for an upcoming show), I will spend 40 minutes learning the songs; followed by a 20 minute break. I will repeat this process until I'm day for the day.
If there is nothing pressing, I will do 20 minutes of timing, 20 minutes of scales, 20 minute break, 20 minutes of speed, and then repeat until I'm done for the day.
All in all: 40 minutes of practice, 20 minute break, and repeat!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In elementary school, I had a music teacher named Ms. Snyder. She showcased a wide variety of instruments in her class and was able to incorporate music games around all of them.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how much time your are willing to put into practicing and what your end goal is. That being said, as long as you strongly commit to practicing, you can generally start to see in results in about a month.
