Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Luckily I was taught by not only very high skill level players, but also by charismatic individuals that were also very good educators. As an educator, my main focus is to emulate their masterful ways of teaching and incorporate that into my program. I use various methods: how to read music, hear music and create music. Ear training is super important to me as it allows the student to learn "feel". Read More

I like to use a combination of methods and method books. For a beginning band student I would use Standard Of Excellence of Essential Elements. For guitar students I like to use a combination of methods, depending on the student. I like to use the Old Town School's book for their first songs or Essential Elements for guitar. I like to use a method for guitar that emphasizes reading notes instead of just tabs, and also emphasizes rest stroke and free stroke. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience started back in High School. I was in a music class and every month I would get to teach kids how to play the ukulele. In college, I started teaching private music lessons and worked at a local music shop and I would teach people how to play songs before purchasing an instrument. I taught students of all ages ranging from a 3 year old little girl to a 68 year old retired mailman. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
For beginning students it's very important to develop their correct habits of posture, how to hold the violin, hands position, correct breathing. I moved them step by step, once the student has progressed with his technical skills, I will introduce him to the Solo repertoire according to his abilities, for his first recital concert. For the adult students, I think it's a good plan to ask them their goals, their thoughts and how much they think they will be able to practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I do understand that learning piano can be challenging sometimes.Therefore, I'm very patient teacher. I always try to find music that inspires a student. Read More
Instruments: Flute Drums

I have performed many genres throughout my musical career. I have also played music for many different settings such as church, football, parades, celebrity shows, nonprofit organizations, rallys, and competitions. I am very excited to teach young and intermediate musicians new techniques, music theory, and methods of learning to play music effectively and joyfully. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
During my college years we did a tribute to Miles Davis. I arranged a big band chart of the Davis tune "Joshua" and was a featured soloist on NPR during our live telecast.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on a trombone is the ability to improvise. It involves music theory, dexterity, scale knowledge, and flexibility.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Arban, Rochut, and Mueller. These books provide different challenges, technical studies, and studies. I like how they all accomplish technical and musical aspects that help a student become more confident in their instrument.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
30-45 minute warm up (long tones, legato lounging, lip slurs, couple lounging, scale studies)
Five minute break
30-45 minutes of transcriptions
Short break
20 minutes of technical studies, solos, or exerts
I try to repeat this later in the day if I am lucky.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor's in Jazz Studies, covering performance and composition.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play all of Louis Armstrong's solos. His musicality and style are so personal yet so worldly.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love soul music. It is fun, yet still offers great challenges and some great musicality. Also, it makes fantastic music to jam, or sit in on with a band.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started teaching myself piano in college to further understand chord structure and theory. I also taught myself some trumpet so I can double and offer more services. I am currently learning guitar.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does not run in my family, but both my brother and I became professional musicians in spite of this. We both studied music at our universities, and have been playing professionally for over 20 years. He later became the guitarist for my band, and is currently working with some country artists in Nashville.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose trombone after seeing James Brown on tv, and falling in love with his horn section. The trombone looked like the most fun!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The easy answer is if they enjoy their instrument and music. It's never too early to start if they are excited.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
In high school. It looked fun, challenging, and something that I could do all over the world. Since then I have performed on four continents, on cruise ships, and with ensembles ranging from shortness to orchestras to jazz combos to gospel bands.
When will I start to see results?
A beginning student can see results quickly. As time goes on, results will still happen but will come in smaller increments. This is when practice and dedication can excel a student. At the end of the day, it is really a matter of how much and willing the student is to practice.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Develop a warm up. Play long tones every day, and make them long. Then work on scales, and finally lip slurs. You can add to this over time, but a warm up is the most consistent thing that should be done.
