Instruments: Piano Drums Music Keyboard
The most important is to undersrand what a new student's goals are with their music education. I wouldn't want to push someone to do something that they simply aren't interested in, but I usually am able to help someone develop interest in areas that they don't already have an interest in. For example, many beginning drummers are sure that they only have interest in playing drum set for a band. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focusing while you practice is a big part of practicing EFFECTIVELY. The whole point of effective practicing is to fix a problem in 10 minutes, which would normally take 45 minutes. Practice slowly, use a tuner, use a metronome, and PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PLAY.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready for lessons when they feel like they are ready to excel and become serious about their music. Skill level does not matter, as a beginner can be serious about music while and advanced student can be casual about music.
When will I start to see results?
It is hard to pinpoint when a student will put out results. Typically, students go through phases where they become more skilled quicker, or could barely make any progress. It doesn't mean they are not working, it just means that their brain is still piecing together what small detail is needed to make something just a little bit better.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My private teacher in high school, Andrew Gushiken, trumpet player in the Navy Fleet Band, was a large influence in my musical career. He introduced me into the more professional side of playing trumpet, and showed me that I could do it as well if I work hard enough.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father was a trumpet player, so it seemed natural that I would play trumpet as well.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Performing with the OSU Trumpet Ensemble Silver included some of the most important performances I have experienced as a musician.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have been selected to play solos, or participate in higher skill ensembles. My students that succeed truly enjoy creating music with their instruments, and when a student enjoys what they do, they will typically expel that to their audience.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a tone that satisfies the musician who creates it can be very difficult. Our ears can tell us if it is wrong, but most of the time, our bodies do not know how to fix it, and get it exactly where and how we want our tone to sound.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard is great for beginning musicians, as it is incremental so a student does not take on too much at once.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
5 minutes of mouthpiece buzzing
15 minutes of Stamp Flow Studies
25 minutes of the Vacchiano Trumpet Routines
10 minutes of Clarke Technical Studies
10 minutes of Irons 27 Groups of Exercises
20 minutes of Etudes
30 minutes of solo work
30 minutes of excerpts
30 minutes of extra time to work on anything else that needs work
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Music Education, because I personally enjoy the teaching of music, rather than the sheer performance of music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There is too much great music to choose a favorite to perform.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Neuroscience, the brain is fascinating in its function and abilities.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical. The amount of color that is expelled through classical music is truly amazing. There is so much art in classical music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano when I began composing music. Piano is a very useful instrument to understand at a basic level, as it can influence musicianship.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father was a trumpet player in Denton, TX. He passed his trumpets down to me and was my first teacher.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was gradual, my love for music increased every year in high school, until my senior year of high school when I decided I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.
