Teaching is a major component of my musical life. I enjoy teaching students, rejoice at their progress, and am always on the lookout for new pedagogical approaches. Therefore, a teacher must have energy and enthusiasm to build rapport with students. My approach to teaching balances personal understanding of the student’s needs and goals, a strict approach to technique, and an artistic approach to music-making. As a teacher, I encourage students to search for creative solutions and artistic principles that are relevant to their musicianship. Read More

Instruments: Piano
As with methods, I do not have one lesson style. My approach with a three year old is different than with a seventy year old. I am detailed in my critiques, but patient, positive, and creative with explanations. My goal is for the students to learn to love and appreciate music and for them to use it not as a short term goal, but as something they can live with and enjoy for the rest of their lives. I sets appropriate goals with recitals, festivals and examinations to both motivate and encourage students, ensuring that they have a positive experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I take a very kinesthetic approach to teaching. I believe that no matter the level or style, evey singer benefits from understanding the way their vocal anatomy functions, and how to utilize it in a healthy way. Vocal longevity is a very high priority in my studio, as is having a good time. I am a firm believer that a teacher who does not help a student fall in love with their art has not done their job.

As a teacher I have worked with countless students at all levels of experience and cater my lessons to what the student wants to get out of learning music. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I already performed it- Portrait of Tracy, a solo piece by Jaco Pastorius. I was asked to perform it at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston for the 1993 Bass Day performances. An amazing experience to perform it for over 3000 people.
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 performance degree from the Berklee College of Music. I chose performance because there was so much playing involved and the constant interaction with other musicians was immensely necessary in evolving to the level I sought after.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use a lot of the Berklee music books i have at my fingertips, Also I use the Jerry Bergonzi Inside Improvisation series which is so rich in content that you are amazed every time you work out of it then put it into place on the bandstand.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is to be able to play exactly what your hearing. That takes hours of performing, transcribing, and working hard where you're able to play exactly what you're hearing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Soon to be released is a recording I did with some great LA and NY musicians and we were able to accomplish musically exactly what we wanted. Also, at Berklee I was able to play a lot with Antonio Sanchez, who is Pat Matheny's drummer. Also playing with Mahesh Balisoorio, an amazing pianist who has played with some of the best in Jazz. Also I got the chance to play with Danny Carrey- Tool's drummer.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had two students graduate from Berklee College of Music and go on to professional music careers. Also students who, graduated Cal Arts, Oberlin Conservatory, and North Texas State- of the best music colleges in the world. .
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first started going around the house playing a rubber band and singing bass lines, then I had a friend who was a bass player and he lent me an instrument and just love the sound of the bass...
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad inspired me to go into music because he was a musician and started me out on the baritone horn, I then changed to trumpet in the 5th grade and my band teacher Mr. Baxter had multitudes of inspiration for me to continue my musical journey.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition is key to forming the musical chops, muscle memory, and complete understanding of the use of concepts and approaches. Also, concentrated and aware practice keeps you sharp and up on ideas, and improv.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
One way to tell is if they are singing, banging out rhythms on anything available to them. Also, if they start to ask questions about how to do things musical I think that is a good indication they are ready for lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Some results you will start to see right away, others may take a week or so, and advance techniques may take months at a time. The results are sometimes difficult to see yourself, that's where the teacher's experience comes in.
