I am a dedicated and loyal educator who loves to teach and motive his students. Music is my love, teaching and educating is my passion. I graduate from Morgan State University with a Bachelors in Music (Trumpet Voice) and Education. I've had the opportunity to study with Wynton Marsalis and Langston Fitzgerald of the Baltimore Symphony. I enjoyed my time as a performer traveling, but, now dedicated and devote my time to education the youth though and about music. Read More

I also recently worked for Music Center of the Northwest, a nonprofit community music school in North Seattle, specializing in student and community relations. As a teacher, I specialize in teaching beginners, moving quickly to establish a quality of tone and practice procedures to master the instrument for whatever purpose (school enrichment, personal enjoyment, performance, auditions for college, whatever you want to do!) I have experience working with adults who want to revisit an instrument they put down, and who want to learn for the first time! Read More

My approach to teaching comes from my absolute love and obsession with music -- nothing makes me happier than to see my students happy and growing as musicians, because I truly believe that more authentic musicians makes a better world. I understand that each student learns at his or her own pace, so I never push hard or over-challenge, but rather encourage their process by acknowledging accomplishments and constantly refreshing their inspiration and ensuring that they are having fun with the process!

I love music so much that I want to share with anyone who wants to learn from me what I have learned and experienced with music. While I am firm believer in teaching theory and technique, I also believe that music needs to be an experience that captivates my students, no matter the age. I always ask my students what their goals are and depending on the goal this will determine the approach. Read More

When teaching children, I make sure to take advantage of their neuroplasticity by mastering the basics of rhythm, sight-reading and phrasing, all while making it fun and intuitive. The objective here is to give the child the ability to use musicality as an expressive resource, which will improve the child's musical cognition but also his speech and math skills -- I speak from personal experience, as I started taking music lessons when I was five and now I speak five languages, besides never having difficulties with math.

I have been teaching since college, when I started a small private studio consisting of classmates, children, and adults. Since then, I have been consistently teaching in a variety of settings, including my home studio, private music academies, online lessons, and piano courses for music majors. The core of my teaching philosophy is that learning music should be enjoyable and fulfilling. I have found that allowing my students to have a say in the pieces they learn is a great way to encourage personal investment and enjoyment in learning. Read More

I began assisting teachers during high school for extra credit. It later became my job during Full Sail. I worked extensively with grades K-5 on reading, writing and math skills enrichment. When I graduated I started to see my joy was working with children and helping each individual get to their own "next level" and that is when I began teaching music privately. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals of which I help with the prep for and can conduct them there if need be. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First, they need the support and supervision of the parents or child care workers. It is especially great if parents sing or play a flute, for instance, along with the student's piano.
For students who have moved into playing with both hands, I point out how unique it is that the piano can accompany itself. I advise them to practice each hand separately and then to slowly put both hands together. The are usually amazed that they can do it. One student came up with the idea that "Amazing Grace" is the way to signal to me that his lesson has ended and it also signals to his household when his practice time has ended. They love the song so I explained the story about John Newton's and why he wrote it. Music lessons can become teaching opportunities in many ways. When he plays it to at practice, his mom knows she can put supper on the table.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It can be hard to tell if a child is ready to start lessons until you actually sit down with him or her child and make them realize they have to pay attention and engage as instructed. Although a teacher wants to make learning anything fun at first, the child needs to accept that it isn't just a play date with music thrown in. How soon they can focus and sit still for 30 minutes varies. I am willing to try it at age 4, but it usually doesn't work. I don't have a minimum age requirement, but it progresses works best if they have started school and can read at least a little.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results when a student can look at the simplified, large size notes on paper and know how to play the song as written. I usually give them a paper keyboard to line up where the keys meet the backboard and learn to match "a" on the printed music with playing the "a" key. It is a shift, but I compare it to learning the alphabet, then making words, then sentences. It requires a connection and we usually start with something they already know, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" or another childhood song. Sometimes I get a younger sibling to sing along with the older child playing. I've found students like to "teach", too.
