Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass Euphonium French Horn Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn
From 2004 - 2014 I taught all Band Instruments, Piano, Violin, and coached singing lessons at the McCord Gallery and Cultural Center in Palos Park, Illinois. I got start teaching lessons as 6th Grade Saxophonist. I was selected to tutor two students from the 5th Grade Beginning Band. When I began attending summer camp after 7th Grade, I loved learning enough to perform a concert by the end of each week of camp. Read More
Instruments: Voice Clarinet
I'm passionate and have always had a great love for music. I have been singing since I was a young child and have been playing the Clarinet since 3rd grade. Music has always been a big part of my life and sharing and teaching others is just the icing on top of the cake so to speak. I love sharing my passion for music with others and helping them to also see the beauty in music and develop a passion and love for music as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student develop a passion for music; a student who practices and looks forward to coming to music lessons is a joy to teach. Each student must progress at his or her own pace; therefore realistic goals must be set at each lesson. Rewarding students for reaching practice goals makes students eager to learn more, and seeing how far they have progressed makes student's proud of their accomplishments. Read More
Instruments: Accordion
My teaching style is where both myself and the student have the accordion on at the same time. I will demonstrate the bass of the instrument on the left hand at first and have the student play along with me, only on the left side. After the student can play a simple C bass major I switch to the right hand playing songs like merrily we roll along. Some beginners can play both hands at the end of one lesson. Read More
Instruments: Cello
I began learning cello with the Suzuki method at age five. I believe Suzuki is a great place to start, as it gives learners a chance to practice specific technical and musical skills before moving on to more challenging material. Suzuki also emphasizes listening to professionals perform pieces you're working on, which I believe is important as it allows you to "absorb" good habits. I believe in breaking down complex musical concepts into bite-sized lessons that include repetition and practice to achieve mastery. Read More
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 Drums Synthesizer Accordion Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I started teaching when I was 18, still in high school. I have been taking lessons for 15 years at that point, and felt the need to share my experiences and knowledge with everyone around me. I found a lesson studio that had students for me to teach and since then I have been teaching private lessons, group classes, drum circles and at the professional college level for 12 years. While teaching, I try toincorporate my professional experiences and relate those to concepts that the student is working on. Read More

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.
