Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I've been playing bass for 13yrs and guitar for about 9yrs. I started out learning to play bass in the church and took lessons from the Pastor's son for a few months. Eventually became self-taught and learned from bassists that I admired and formed my own style of playing. I went on to teach friends, family, and church folk what I know about bass and music. I have played in a few church bands as well as rock and punk bands in the Southern California area. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I graduated from the University of Louisville with a degree in Music performance, emphasis in voice. During that time I was given the opportunities to sing with some wonderful groups including Kentucky Opera Chorus, Cardinal Singers, Early Music Ensemble, and Choral Arts Society. Since moving to Colorado in 2016, I have sang with multiple quartets and ensembles, including St Martin's Chamber Choir, Gaudium Verum, Anima Chamber Ensemble as well as continuing to teach music in an individual and/or choral setting.

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
My style of teaching is personal and caring. Whether my students develop a desire to pursue music beyond our lessons, I care about their happiness and personal success in life. I develop a relationship with my students and I really enjoy it when I hear that they used a concept I taught them in our music lessons for something beyond music. I at least hope to instill a strong understanding and enjoyment of music in each of my students which they can share with the people in their life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer
I practice various teacher's techniques for better understanding the material by the student. Great part of my lessons is having fun playing, singing and understanding the music. We practice different activities (playing together, practicing beats, singing, learning the keys, looking for similarities, engaging another arts, dancing, etc.).We do many interesting and interacive exercies and activities. We work on the sense of beat, better listening and understanding of music intonations. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Take what i know from all the instruments i know at that time and tie that to the new instrument I'm trying to learn. From there you play to what the instrument is meant for and what purpose it serves in certain genres of music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Perfect Pillow by the band Chon. It's extremely difficult peice and uses all the guitar techniques that i love in Prog music. It's such a beautiful piece.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue. Maybe something with Film?
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Every genre and style of music has something i can appreciate and take from. Its too hard to find a favorite. However prog and jazz and high up on the list.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The only guarentreed book i use with my students is the Guitar Grimoire series of books. I choose these because there is a book on every topic a guitar player needs to learn to become a successful guitar player. From scales to chord to improvisation. They have it all. Every book is dense with information. Like an encyclopedia for guitar.
The only other books i use are books that i have personal experience with. I typically use these books when a student has a specific need or request that the Guitar Grimoire series can not help.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the guitar is mastering how to play the guitar.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The people who play the guitar and the music they made always looked and sounded so cool.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Not giving up half way through a difficult piece in front of an audience of people.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every single musician i have seen or talked to on earth has inspired my musicality and life as a musician in some way. Good or bad, teacher or student, you can always learn to be inspired by somebody.
When will I start to see results?
If you pay close attention to your playing and progress you will see results with in the first 10 minutes of playing an instrument. Small or big.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are willing to learn and practice what they learn then they are ready for lessons. Almost any age is the right age for anybody to learn an instrument but over the years I have noticed that around the age of 6-8 is the best time to get a child into lessons. This is where I see that they learn to have the most fun with the instrument and tend to be the most interested. Not to say that this does not exist younger or older the 6-8.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Pick the things that you struggle with and make a "plan of attack" on how you will practice them. For instance, If you are struggling with chord changes, soloing, and arpeggios then you should make a practice schedule that encompasses about one hour every 2 to 3 days. Spend about 10 minutes on chord changes you would like to know like a 2-5-1. Then take that chord progression and try to solo over it for 15 minutes to improve your understanding of soloing and the chord changes. Then spend the remainder of the time trying to insert arpeggios into your solos. This was you are practicing all the elements you are struggling with while combining your understanding of them individually into one practice session.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When everyone in my life started to tell me i would be an idiot if i didn't do something with my talents in music. They were right!
