Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I am a very hands-on teacher. We do lots of improvisation and call and response games and sometimes I turn on a record or even bring a guitar to jam with the student. Playing drums is a very visceral, tactile excersize, and I often tell students, "That right there,that is how it's supposed to sound! Memorize that feeling and try to recreate it everytime." I am also a huge advocate of having students listen to as much music as possible. Read More

I am a 24 year old bassist who enjoys sharing my musical passion with others. I have studied the electric bass and the upright bass while attending Whitman college, focusing mostly on Jazz. I currently live in Brooklyn and play with my band, The Dogs. I've played on six records over the last two years including one that was named the fourth best free album of 2011. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Mandolin Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle
I try to teach to the personality, strengths, and needs of each individual student: one size does not fit all when it comes to playing instruments! I stress correct posture and technique as a means to an end, which is the ability to progress and enjoy playing. I have taught many students over a period of years--often between 7 and 10+ years. I try to teach in a progressive way with an end goal in mind, whilekeeping them motivated and engaged andcreating opportunities to perform, succeed, and have fun along the way. Read More

Mylove for teaching stems frommy desire to pass onmy knowledge of musicto others. Helping others develop a passion for music is somethingIfeel isnecessary tocopein a world that can often be overwhelming without an outlet for expressions, such as music. I have been instructing students in percussion since I was a Junior in high school and taught at the Denny Way Music School on Capital Hill from 2013-2015. I have instructed students, from elementary school to adulthood, in areasincludingmusic theory, ear training and drum performance. Read More

For adults who are usually more straight forward with what they want to get out of the lessons, I usually jump straight into asking them about their favorite artists and influences to give me a good idea of where they want to be in the long run. I then begin working out a long term plan/lesson schedule that will get help them reach their goals as soon as possible. Read More

No matter where the student starts from, I always spend a significant amount of time in the first lesson discussing with them what they want to gain, what they are interested in, and how much time and effort they want to put into this endevor. It is important to me to understand the student so that I can cater to their needs and desires, and hopefully encourage them to continue playing music. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the most difficult things to master on guitar is speed, and relaxation, of playing. As the speed increases, it can be easy to tense up, which slows you down. Contrary to what one might assume, the road to fast and relaxed playing is through relaxed and slow practice. It takes a long time and one must be consistent, which is also a challenging habit to build.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Some of the most fun I've had in my musical journey is performing in a Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top tribute bands. My band mates were so fun to be around and we all loved the level of energy we brought to the venues we played in Southern California.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had many students go on to utilize their education in many ways. I've had a few students pursue their own music degree at university. I've also had students attend university for other majors, and they were able to utilize the music theory they learned to get easy A's in their general ed categories. These student had an easier time keeping a higher GPA and had more time to focus on the work of their more difficult classes. I've also had students form garage bands with their friends in high school and beyond!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
After playing classical piano, electric guitar, classical guitar, and violin, I finally found a style that suits my personality and passion in flamenco guitar. It was the "shoe that fit", so to speak. I love the exciting and unique sounds and techniques that are used, and I love introducing flamenco to people who have never heard the style before.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone learns at a different pace, but after a month students have generally become very comfortable with the basics and will be well on their way to mastering their first song.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My flamenco teacher is a big inspiration for me. His passion and love of the style is contagious, and his positive, excited, and encouraging attitude makes me feel very proud of my work. I love that he will play our material at full speed, and with his own style mixed in. Is like getting a short private concert every week!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Kids are sponges, and will be able to learn music very young. The younger they are, the more important it is to have a home environment filled with support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. If you're excited, they will be excited!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
A good warmup routine that targets technique is essential. Practicing technique prepares you for any situation, rather than working on every individual song that you know, an impossible task when you know so many songs!
