Instruments: Piano Trumpet
Acknowledging accomplishments is an ideal way to motivate a student to improve. While critiquing a student's weaknesses is something a teacher should do, celebrating the positive moments in playing can help engrave good habits. Whether you are trying to learn for fun or trying to get into the college of dreams for music, I am able to cater my teaching style to the needs of the student and this makes music fun for everyone!

I'm a 20 year old college student from Austin, Texas. I'm currently studying at the world famous San Francisco Conservatory of Music, with a specialization in Classical Guitar Performance. Performing and teaching are my main passions with music, and I think its such an important aspect of what we musicians do. I was luckily able to have opportunities to open for Grammy nominated artists such as, Mak Grigic, and Nino de Pura. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I love to see students learn something and progress as the make music. Therefore, it is my goal that my student progresses at their own pace. I encourage the students to set goals for themselves and help them achieve them. Commendation is given as the student progresses and this encourages the student to dive deeper into his playing. Also, I try to see what the student is interested in, where her it be rock, alternative, blues, classical, or even jazz. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
In my lessons, I advocate for a strong emphasis on tone and technique. Getting these aspects of trumpet playing down are extremely important as the trumpet is a very physically demanding instrument. I have many different levels of method books to work from, but one of the biggest and most comprehensive is the Arban's book. It has exercises ranging from the most basic tone production, to very advanced tonguing and lip slur exercises and is great for students of all levels. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I have always found joy in teaching. For years, I've been sharing my knowledge with friends without charging. It all began by showing them riffs from our favorite bands and even some I had created. Gradually, I transitioned to teaching them broader musical concepts and guiding them in writing music across different genres. As word spread, my friends started recommending others to me, and I officially began teaching during my college years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe
For beginning students (children and adults), I typically start with Alfred's Piano Lesson and Recital books. Before starting to read the music score, I seriously train their technique and hand/body posture. After students become fluent on note-reading and able to read and play basic rhythmic patterns properly, I will begin introduce simple solo repertoires and etudes such as Czerny studies, Bach minuets, Burgmuller studies, sonatinas, and simple classical repertoires in Keith Snell books.

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard
Each comes with their own set of creative challenges and goals, and helping them move to a place of satisfaction and joy in music has been the most meaningful kind of work. When I began to learn music as a child, I had no idea how much joy it would bring me, and the musical community I would gain, or the anchor this pursuit would be for me through the difficult seasons that would arise in my life.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a routine and stick to it! With that though, avoid getting into ruts. Don't practice the same thing over and over again just because it is easy or you sound good on it. While repetition is good and necessary, make sure you stretch yourself and attempt something new when you can. Sight reading is a great way to accomplish this. It's also a fantastic way to develop all of your skills and musicality. Finally make sure every practice session includes something you hate doing i.e. a difficult exercise, scales, whatever, and something you love doing, i.e a favorite song or etude. Finding these balances will make your practice sessions fly by and be extremely effective.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they show interest, they are ready. Generally if they can count to 10 and know their ABCs and can focus on a task for 20+ minutes, they can take lessons. I recommend not starting them off with brass or singing lessons until they are at least 10 years old. Most kids simply don't have the lung development until that age to really be successful. If they are interested in playing a wind instrument or singing, it is usually best to start them off with piano and then work those other things in. I have developed breathing exercises for younger students that go well with playing piano to get them into good habits so when they reach a good age, they are set up for success.
When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult to answer and very loaded question. Every student is different. While it is my job to give a student the tools for success, the practice time at home between lessons is where the real progress is made. My true job is to teach a student HOW to practice, so that when they practice, they are successful. The student must take it upon themselves to take what they have earned in lessons and practice at home. If a students has difficulties practicing at home, then we can work on finding a way to make them want to practice. Practicing is the absolute only way to get better at music. Coming into lessons unprepared will never work out for the student.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to be a musician. From a very young age, my parents saw and nurtured my musical desires. My father sang in community and church groups and my mother was always singing. My first grade school music teacher got me involved in the school choir and band. My biggest influence as I grew up and decided to go into music as a profession was definitely
