Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching private lessons for over 2 years and have taught ages 4-18. My belief is that anyone can play the piano, as long as they have the right motivation and are willing to devote time to daily practice sessions. Young students (ages 4-6) are highly encouraged because I believe this is the best time to start and I have extensive experience with this age group because of my weekly interaction with preschoolers through my classes.

Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Fiddle
I provide individualized instruction with a theoretical focus. I want students to understand the music that they play. I view music as a language and believe in the importance of being able to manipulate it to convey a message to the listener. I allow students to choose the songs they learn and couple them with technical exercises to improve dexterity and familiarity with the instrument. I believe in a "do no harm" philosophy, where my primary goal is to have students enjoy music on their instrument without being overly burdened with "homework" and "practice." Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My approach to teaching is very interactive. I seek to provide my students with many different was to experience music including singing, playing, listening and analyzing. In this way, my students may make lasting connections with music and find success in many different areas of study. I, as well, strive to be the best example I can be for my students so that they may see musical possibilities which may not be presented to them otherwise. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I became a teacher because I believe everyone holds unique gifts and creative ideas. I want to encourage and guide every individual I teach to feel confident in their gifts and apply them to music! I believe music is such a joy to be shared to the world, and we all have the potential to share it. I started teaching private lessons in 2017, and I found it so rewarding that I have continued teaching ever since. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with my own theory/ method system and then move on to the existing method books. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Throughout my musical career I have used many method books to improve my playing anywhere from beginning band books on up to the Arbans trumped method and have gained knowledge from each and everyone of them. Each of the many books I have used have been valuable in making me the player that I was. The information that I have gained through studying this material has helped me become the teacher that I am today, and my goal when teaching any student is to pass on what has been given to me throughout my lifetime.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is hands down metal. It’s what I grew up on, and it is what has guided me to learn the technical side of music and playing the guitar.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play piano in addition to the guitar when I went to college, because they required it of us. I also learned how to sing while I was there.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The defining moment to become a professional musician came to me when I was in high school. It was something that I knew that I had wanted to do from first hearing the Lacrimosa to Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor my freshman year.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform was La Catedral by Augustin Barrios Mangore, and I actually got the opportunity to in my junior college jury. I would have to say this piece purely because of the beauty, and the way that space is conserved within the music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren’t a musician I would most likely be an architect. The way that buildings are built and how they look has always intrigued me.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Arpeggiation, and how to manipulate it. Even the masters still sometimes struggle with the harder chord shapes, so it is something to definitely be considered.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session consists of warm-ups of different technical exercises, depending on the style and level of student, then it goes on to learning actual music.
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 a music degree in Classical Composition. I chose that degree so I would be able to know how to manipulate sound in a way that I could express myself to the world, and so I would have a very good understanding of what different music events were, and why they sounded the way they did.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my symphonic writing. It was an out of body experience getting to sit in the audience while an orchestra was playing my music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument back when I was little because I was obsessed with heavy metal. So playing the guitar really stuck with me, and it seemed to come very naturally so that helped guide my passion for the instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did, my guitar teacher from High-School. He instilled a passion for learning and teaching music by giving me the opportunity to perform in front of crowds as a solo artist, and with a quartet that I had formed.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results after the first couple of lessons. Once I get to know a student, and their learning style, I can give them tips on how to practice that will help give a noticeable end game result.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child starts to show a passion for learning music, or even listening to it intently, then they are ready for lessons. I wouldn’t force any child into doing anything they didn’t want to do, so that passion significantly helps.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus and discipline are important. My advice to help with that is to create a warm-up routine, and do it every single time before you start to practice your pieces. It will help to memorize music faster, and helps with different technical practices of learning an instrument.
