Instruments: Piano
I would like my students to enjoy, understand, and bring the ARTISTRY of music into their life, but not just being able to play out something. I always explain WHYs for everything students learn. Piano studying is not only about learning the notations but also expressions, interpretations, phrasing, structures, tonal relationships, mood, articulations, analysis, and etc. for intermediate and advanced piano students. I include some music history in association with the pieces the students are learning to play, besides the theory and structure of it. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students I use Faber and John Thompson books. Once the student improves of course we upgrade to more challenging songs and books. For adults I find out what they're interested in and instruct accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and always fun no matter what. I base my teaching method on my strong, enthusiastic, optimistic, patient, and loving character. I make sure the student feels comfortable, is not overwhelmed by the material, and I take any amount of time until the material is thoroughly understood. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
My teaching studio is equipped with two drums sets and practice pads to accommodate marching or drum set students. I also have a full PA and two keyboards set up for piano students and accompanying purposes. Each student is given an assignment for the week (or specified time) and will then pass off this lesson assignment (barrier) before receiving a new lesson. Passing off not only includes demonstration of the lesson but also performing with me as I accompany them on the keyboards. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer
My teaching experience spans over the course of the past5 years, as I began teaching when I was in college, and since then have branched out to teaching students of all ages in both my recording studio and church. I encourage students to practice on a regular basis, especially with the younger students, as it aids in the student's progress, growth and passion for playing the piano. My job is to ensure that the lesson is an experience that is rewarding, memorable and most of all, fun. Read More

It is my desire to encourage each student to enjoy the art of piano playing. This is done by making each piano lesson exciting and rewarding. Acknowledging their accomplishments is a priority within my teaching style. Furthermore, I enjoy accompanying my students with their piano lessons, guiding them through their challenges, as well as, encouraging and supporting them to do their best. Every student learns at different pace and interests. Read More

I believe music instruction should be thrilling and rewarding, and leave the student eager to play more! Maintaining the smile that comes from the joy of expanding skills and creating a unique world of sound is my calling, and I believe every student deserves the chance to experience that. Music can be used to develop social skills and expand self-awareness, as well as two stimulate both right and left brain thinking. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Each student should practice what he/she learns from the lesson every day for at least 30 minutes if the lesson is a 30 minute one. If the lesson is an hour long, the student should practice what was learned each day for an hour. If the instructor provides any type of writing assignment, the student should accomplish this task as well. This should adequately prepare him/her for the next lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Do you hear your child singing or humming? Does she/he try to play a piano or keyboard whenever there is one around? Does your child enjoy watching singing or musical instruments being played on television? If any of the answers to these questions is yes, than I would think so. Also if you notice your child responding to music while it's being played by tapping his hands or swaying. Any type of response is positive and definitely promotes an interest. Music and math are interrelated, so if the child loves math, than she will most likely love music. On the other hand, if a child is not doing well in math, music can help.
When will I start to see results?
You will see your child or yourself begin to play simple songs immediately. Note recognition will be the first skill taught along with a few songs. Timing is very important in music as one can play at least three songs with the same notes, but with different timing and they will sound completely different. So, timing will be introduced very early in the lessons. As always, students will progress at different speeds and it is important for the instructor to find the best program to benefit the student.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre is classical because it is the most challenging and the composers wrote the music for the piano. I also like to play any genre that the composer wrote specifically for the piano. I enjoy playing soft rock, R&B and gospel.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does run in my family. I'm the only piano player; however, all of my uncles play/played string instruments. They played mostly violin or fiddle as they would say. But, not a one of them ever took a lesson. They all had perfect timing and played beautifully. My uncle Buddy plays bass, all types of guitar, mandolin, and now he's mastering the violin. He does teach lessons. Many of my relatives have beautiful singing voices and most sing and play in church.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I did not decide to become a professional musician at first as someone heard me play and asked me to play at their wedding. Then, someone at that wedding asked me to play at their wedding, and pretty soon, I was playing for weddings about every other Saturday for almost 10 years making anywhere from $100-300/wedding. This was in addition to my regular 9-5 job and my church pianist position. So, the money was really advantageous. It is also very rewarding to be able to be a part of a friend or loved one's celebration.
