Always help my students achieve their goals, always give them music they like and we both can decide it is good for the student's development. The personal development of a student is a priority of mine Love to see my students achieve their goals. Love to imprint a loving and caring approach to music in my students. Always try to have my students sing what they love, when they do so, the put their 110% into it, instead of having to do it because they are told so, and it reflects in their practice time as well.

My teaching is style is unique to say the least. I am about grabbing the student from where they are and preparing them to be successful and ready for the next level. With me failure is not an option. We will set realistic goals and tackle them as we work to our ultimate goal. As the student progresses they will be acknowledged and we will keep striving for excellence. What is excellence you may ask, excellence is defined as the product of hardwork and extra effort that makes the difference between an acceptable job and an exceptional job. Read More

I believe each student is different and enjoy developing a unique approach for each students. I also tailor the lessons to each students need.

Since I have studied the flute myself for over 20 years, and am currently the teaching assistant at LSU flute studio, I have a vast amount of experience and knowledge in flute pedagogy. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

I earned my bachelors degree from Northwestern State University in music performance, and my masters degree in music performance from Louisiana State University. My education has culminated in an understanding of many musical styles from classical music and jazz in the double bass to funk, blues, and metal on the electric bass. All forms of musical expression are valid and should be explored! My teaching focuses on the foundations of music making, not simply learning songs on the bass. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My methods vary according to the students interests and development. But I also have a guideline of references. For the beginners, I like to use Faber Faber, Boris Berlin's Four Stars, and some Alfred's piano methods. As we go to intermediate, I focus mostly on repertoire, sight reading, harmonization and, if the student likes, some improvisation. The books vary according to the student. For advanced players, the focus is in the repertoire, so probably we will be using performance editions for the repertoire, with preference for the Urtext (original text) ones. Read More
