Instruments: Voice
As natural as a singing voice can be it still takes effort and hard work to maintain your sound or keep yourself relevant. I self taught myself a lot. Through this self teaching I was able to help others go through the same process a little easier. I spent hours if not shut ins (days of just soaking and singing) editing and correcting my tone. Developing and finding your voice (confidence in yourself), knowing your sound/ style, and finally finding your rhythm to where even if there is no beat you can become one and be the beat is the basics before any singer can bloom.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone
I am a strong advocate in fusing together practice and performance. I personally have had teachers that focused too much on technical studies and theory, and not enough time on incorporating those skills into performance; which is the main reason why many people have a desire to learn a musical instrument. In my lessons, I focus on developing skills that are essential to my student's overall musical development. These skills include music theory, ear training, rhythmic analysis, technique, and finally, applying all those skills into a performing setting. Read More

I am at home in many venues, whether it is the concert hall, the intimate setting of the recital platform, or on the operatic stage. I have performed over one hundred different roles at the Metropolitan Opera and am heard often on the "Live from the Met" Sirius Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts, as well as televised performances from the stage of the opera house. I was one of the featured artists in the Met Centennial Gala, which was televised nationwide. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music
As a teacher, I am learning from my students as well - each person is a unique journey in the world of music and each person teaches me something about communication, understanding, motivation, time-managing during lessons and in individual practice. My main objective is to make the lessons a joy, a positive, motivating experience, to boost self-confidence and provide enjoyment, fun. I teach different people differently, using my background in psychology of learning, understanding individual needs. Read More

At TCU, I studied saxophone with Joe Eckert. He is a well-known jazz and classical saxophonist and was the lead alto and director of the "Airmen of Note," the premier jazz ensemble of the US Air Force, for 20 years.

Instruments: Double Bass
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was very young, my parents played recordings of musicians in different musical settings, and I was hearing the double bass without knowing what the instrument was called. I heard an orchestral performance and the booming pizzicato and warm arco textures resonated with me. Then I heard a bassist plucking in a big-band jazz setting, and the intense drive and pulse felt so danceable to me. I couldn't help but find out what the instrument was that I was hearing. I found out via a UK Eye Witness encyclopedia that that instrument was the double bass. I was so determined to touch one in person. When my father surprised me with a rental bass to pluck, I was ecstatic and that sensation stayed with me all this time. The bass is essential because it functions as the time-keeper and harmonic foundation of a group.
When will I start to see results?
You will begin to see results when the student becomes driven to reach his/her goal established. The student has to take responsibility for the sound he/she is going for, and to work it out in practice. Results happen when the student takes time out to practice diligently and frequently. When a student relates musical activity to other areas of their lives, they begin to develop a relationship with music/their instrument, and this motivates them to discover more about what they can do on their instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
-I find it's the material that I don't know how to play, that requires the most practicing. Don't spend too much time practicing the things you already know how to play. It's the speed bump, or the train-wreck sections, that need to be dissected.
-Breaking bad habits and reinforcing new positive habits is essential in the practice session.
-A 15min practice session where you get desired results or learn something new, is far better than an hour practice session in which nothing is learned and bad habits are repeated.
-Try the idea/technique you are working on, in various musical settings, and your brain begins to engrain the new information.
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 two Music Degrees in Performance. I found that focusing on the playing technicalities would make me a more practical musician in a business where playing can get musicians into many doors. Aside from teaching, it's performing that makes my living, and gives me joy playing. Maintaining a good, consistent sound requires that one has to apply his/herself to their instrument often and consistently. Being a performance major equipped me with practice tools and repertoire to keep me motivated to 'stay in shape.'
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I believe intonation and clarity are the two biggest challenges a double bassist will always face. I've heard professionals and musical heroes of mine, tell me the same thing. It's a struggle for all bassists. One thing I've noticed being an orchestral bassist playing with other stringed instruments, is how bumpy and tonally inconsistent a bass player's notes could sound in a musical phrase, compared to those of a violinist or cellist. There are certain notes in certain positions that have a distinct vibration. Therefore finding an even sound all over the bass requires specific actions for each particular note.
