Instruments: Piano Guitar
I always work with a method book, and have a range of fun books to choose from from beginner to advanced for guitar and piano. I use a separate sheet of paper as a log of each day's lesson at the end to show what we worked on, what to practice, and other notes or positive remarks ( ‘great job’, etc.) With older students I encourage exploring your own musical tastes and learning from the artists you like.

Instruments: Trumpet Music
Watching my students develop a passion for music is one of the most rewarding things a teacher could ask for. To that end it is important that each student progresses at their own pace. Most importantly its important that all of my students leave their lessons knowing more than when they walked in! I will always set realistic goals and expectations for all my students. It's also important that my students have their accomplishments recognized as it encourages them to keep trying to get better and I will constantly push them to do that. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
I use a variety of methods depending on the level of the student. I certainly cover all the fundamentals and show how they relate to music. Generally I like to ask the student what kind of music they like and that's how we get started. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet
I started teaching in College after seeing the benifit from teaching Music Education Students brass Technique. I feel the best teachers are constantly putting themselves into situations where they are students. I am always taking classes and learning new things in and around music. I taught myself 3 instruments this very way, and have been able to perform and teach these instruments very effectively. Read More
Instruments: Cello
For beginning students, my main goal is to lead them to appreciate and love music for the rest of their lives. I work on fundamentals like the proper posture, developing good ears for correct tones, and how to correctly hold the bow. A perfect understanding of basics goes a long way. My favored teaching material for beginner student is Suzuki books, Popper etudes, Galamian scale book, Dozauer book, and all standard common concertos and sonatas. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have a hunger to learn what I like the sound of. Because of this, I have picked up many Instruments that are found in the Celtic music tradition as well as many others.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music would have to be Celtic music. I grew up playing it with friends and family, so it has become a part of who I am.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I don't think I could do anything outside of the arts. If not a musician, I would pursue acting, comedy, or perhaps writing. I love to cook, so perhaps I would consider being a chef. It's all about being a creative. I believe in order to truly experience life, you need to experience the sweet satisfaction of creating something.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I sit down, set a timer for at least 30 minutes, and play through my latest or favorite piece along with a metronome. I start the metronome slowly and work up speed over time.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
the hardest thing to master is a truly effective practice method. Just like anything else, it requires a routine to be successful. Developing routines is a very hard skill to master in my opinion.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father loved Rock & Roll, so i followed suit. We would jam for hours when I was as young as 8 years old. I just loved being able to sing and play my favorite songs whenever I wanted.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In 2016 I was flown across the Atlantic to perform at the Largest Celtic Music Festival in the world, Celtic Connections. In 2019 I played on stage with one of my greatest heroes, Liz Carroll.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first Fiddle Teacher snapped me out of my nervousness by putting the fiddle in my hands and giving me cold hard facts: that if I wanted to learn I needed to play my very first notes, even if they didn't sound good. She played along with me slowly which greatly reinforced my confidence.
When will I start to see results?
If your heart is in it, you could be playing music in some small way in as little as one month or less. All it takes is the will to learn and a love for music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Growing up, I payed Celtic style guitar with friends or at events purely for the love of it. Over time it became clear that this was something I could do professionally as people started to pay me for the music I gave them.
