Instruments: Piano
I have always had a deep appreciation for music. This led me to learn to play piano, beginning at age 5. By age 7, I was writing pieces of my own. In highschool, I found that I enjoyed teaching piano to others. After college, I opened my own business, which I ran from the end of my first deployment, until the beginning of my second deployment (I am a National Guardsman), called CMPPC. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Music
It is important to me that I provide a warm, comfortable environment for all my students. I strive to meet the student where they are, set goals, and make plans to achieve them. Voice in particular is a difficult thing to learn, since the mechanisms are internal and difficult to see as well as hard to control directly. That is why many teachers speak through visualization and analogy. I make every effort to explain the science behind the singing process, but I also use a variety of teaching approaches that have proven to be effective. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Theory and Composition: Integrating music theory lessons alongside practical piano instruction enhances students' understanding of musical structure, harmony, and composition. I encourage students to compose their own music pieces as a way to apply theoretical knowledge creatively. Performance Skills: Similar to voice lessons, I prepare piano students for performances and recitals. This includes stage presence, interpretation, and effective communication of musical ideas. Utilization of Technology: I incorporate digital tools and software for learning and practicing piano, including interactive apps for sight-reading, theory drills, and virtual keyboard tutorials.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I teach a predominantly Suzuki as I learned with the Suzuki method and I am trained as a Suzuki instructor. I don't completely immerse my students with the Suzuki method and while learning how to play by ear, I teach students how to read music so that they are able to compose their own music. Read More

Instruments: Piano
I started studying piano in my early teens and have continued studying all of my life. Even to this day I still practice 30-45 minutes every morning. I have played professionally all of my life as an accompanist for vocal and instrumental soloists, and having taught high school choral music for over 20 years, accompanied a variety of vocal ensembles. I have performed for weddings, banquets, parties, and civic gatherings, and have been my church's pianist and chief musician for the past 15 years. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
When I was in college, one of my dorm mates played guitar. I borrowed it from him and taught myself how to play pretty quickly. I started playing bass while recording and wanted a specific part. Understanding keyboard and music theory enables me to figure out almost any instrument. I can play cello and double bass, and have even made sense on a saxophone.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my large family, for generations. Although both of my sons play but not professionally. Most of my family seem to become doctors. Not something I'd want to do.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It just kind of happened. A friend and I started playing together when we were about 15. We had a band within a year. One thing led to another and we started becoming popular. It was so much fun. We were offered a recording contract with London Records, (the Rolling Stones label, at the time), but we were all underage, and parents wanted us to go to college, and not be tied up. In retrospect it was probably good that we didn't sign. I've seen many young people, with success in music, have it ruin their lives.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I did not finish my music degree because I was offered a tour with a rock band and decided to go that route. Honestly, I learned more from doing that tour, than I would have if I'd stayed in school. I have a diploma, from New York University, in computer technology. I realized early on that computers and music were going to be important for each other in the future. I am expert in several computer recording programs, and have taught computer production and recording to several students.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I love performing any type of music almost anywhere. The energy one gets from performing in front of people is incredible and addictive. There is no feeling like it that compares to anything else I've ever experienced. I have played all over the world in all different size and type of venue. My dream piece would be to perform one of my original compositions to an audience that pays attention and connects with me through my music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have expertise in technical theater and really enjoy that. I also love to write. I am currently working on an original film script. I also love to cook and think culinary school would be fun. I am a pretty good amateur chef.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like and play all styles of music, as long as it is good. I am constantly looking for what is new, musically, in the world. I have recently discovered a new band and genre, that I find quite interesting. The Hu Band from Mongolia. They are gaining success in Europe and quite interesting and unique. They are a Metal Band, using traditional, ancient Mongolian instruments and Mongolian throat singing. Worth a listen and look. They're on Youtube.
