Instruments: Trumpet

Today is the perfect time to take up a new instrument! I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), Penn State (We Are!), and the University of Southern California (Fight On!) Trumpet playing can be broken down into 3 basic principles: TONE, TECHNIQUE, and MUSICALITY. I will work with you to design a program to target each area and push your skills and achieve your goals! I believe music is something deeply personal and a gift that should be shared with others. Read More

I have had the opportunity to learn from many musicians over the course of my musical career. I have gathered much practical music knowledge from University Professors to Street Corner Musicians.

I have performed professionally in various ensembles such as Mariachi, Tejano, Orchestra, and several guitar duets. I currently perform professionally as a solo instrumental guitarist at such venues as restaurants, resorts and private events. Read More

Instruments: Drums

Usually, each lesson starts with some warm up ear training and performing, we then transition into practice pad or snare drum exercises to help develop technique, then move on to reading and understanding notation, and finally we focus on drum kit performance and some improvisation. I also like to encourage my students to bring in various recordings of drum parts they like. These are awesome ways to get my students more excited to learn. Read More
