Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been playing guitar since age 5, and started performing in the US and Europe in 1969. In 1994 I turned my hobby into my profession and started teaching music full-time and performing concerts and small venues. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching music while I was in college. Although I was not an education major, I did take education classes and learned a lot about pedagogy during my time in college. I have experience teaching beginning percussion-intermediate percussion on mallet instruments, snare drum, timpani, drum set, and orchestral percussion. I have taught music theory/piano to many students over the years. I have provided many of those students with the skills to set them up to continue learning independently or to seek out learning new instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I began teaching as a junior in high school and have maintained a private studio in Texas for the past 6-1/2 years. I have taught beginning through advanced level students. I like to encourage creativity in the studio; I don't push every student to have the same musical experiences. With a world of performance opportunities available (festivals, competitions, recitals) I strongly encourage students to perform. I emphasize a regular practice routine for all of my studio.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Euphonium French Horn
The most essential element of music is FUN. Naturally, all students meet challenges and frustrating situations. Because I have experienced this myself, I understand completely! I develop a unique approach with each of my students. I am very comfortable teaching voice, piano, and brass instruments. For all of my students, I am fully aware of the standard method books. However, in the past, I have made a special point of working from those books only until it's no longer necessary. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Generally speaking, music is not necessary, but it is essential to have fun learning it! Regardless of a student's reason for taking lessons, I believe in giving all students an equally high level of opportunity and guidance, and I take responsibility for ensuring they grow as a well-rounded musician. As long as realistic goals are set, a regular practice routine can be established. As a teacher, I enjoy seeing students develop a love for learning music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching when I was in Bachelor degree. I taught piano in music school for kids. I love kids and I love to share with them my knowledge. I have teaching experience until now. I taught voice lesson at CSA for choir kids. I am also teaching piano for some kids now. I love music and I will share the essential technique for voice and piano to students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
I had one beginning piano student who wanted to learn "Fireflies" by Owl City, so her friends could sing it. So I wrote out the melody for her and then figured out chord progressions to accompany them. For beginning flute students, I use the Jump Right In series by Edwin Gordon. For beginning voice students, I seek to craft lessons to build on whatever the student is seeking to better. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was in 3rd grade there was an assembly where the 5th graders came to the theater in the round and played the string instruments for us. There were violins, a viola, cello and a bass. I was mesmerized by the cello and decided that I had to play that instrument. After I signed up the music teacher called my house and asked my mom if I might be interested in playing the bass because no one had signed up for it. My mom raised me on Motown music and asked me if I would like to play the instrument that was the heartbeat of all the music we loved and then told me that if I stuck with it that she & my dad would get me an electric bass when I got to high school. I was sold and ended up loving those low tones and being the musical anchor... still love it too!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have toured the country with a number of different bands, recorded on a number of albums- including three that were all original music written by me- and have played hundreds of gigs a year for the past 15 years, and have been a successful teacher. I have been able to make a living playing and teaching music and have gotten to meet many interesting people and have been places that most people have not because of music. I have made so many friends and have had so many wonderful meals and can't imagine doing anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I'm not sure if they've won any awards but I do have quite a few former students who have gone on to college to study music and have become music teachers. I have another student who's band just got signed to a record deal and another who is on his way to study at Berklee College of Music. I have helped students write and record albums and have taught people to express themselves fearlessly and with confidence. I have little kids that look up to me and show up to their lessons excited to show me that they can perfectly play their lessons from the previous week and have had countless bands from rock band classes perform onstage for family and friends and sound amazing.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is the balance of good intonation and good time. Rhythm is the key to music and if the beat is not strong and felt within you then you are not really playing. As a bass player it is also important to be able to communicate the correct notes to the other musicians and it is hard to dial in the correct pitch on a fretless instrument that is almost as big as I am. Slowing everything down and understanding that it is better to take the time to learn something well than to get it right quickly without fully absorbing the lesson was another concept that took a while to sink in.
