Instruments: Piano Voice
As a result, my students develop their ear, intonation and musical confidence in a faster way. In addition, whenever time allows, I like to encourage their creativity by composing small songs related to the subject we are learning. Voice students: I like to start the class with vocal exercises, once we have warmed up the voice then we start working on the songs of your interest (sometimes I choose songs that I consider appropriate to work specific techniques or styles of singing too!).

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard
Every student is different. The most important thing is for the student to get along with their instructor. I am a patient and easy going person, but I also want discipline and excellence. I have over 15 years experience working with thousands of talented people, including talent featured on American Idol, The Voice, Disney, X-Factor, and major movies and tv shows. I enjoy kids and students of all ages that are enthusiastic about learning, and I want them to be extraordinary with their skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe
I have been teaching for 25+ years in schools and privately. The crucial part of my teaching method is an individual approach. We all are different and that makes teaching more fun but it also makes it challenging and at times very difficult. It takes a lot of patience and experience to unlock one's individuality in learning and performing. I do use books at the same time I try to develop student's ears. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
There is nothing more inspiring and rewarding than watching a student grow. For that reason, I meet students where they are. After an initial assessment of knowledge and skill, I began tailoring lessons for each student individually depending on their skill level. Typical lessons would include a relevant theory mini lesson, teacher playing demonstration, and teacher guided practice. The student is expected to complete independent practice on their own before our next scheduled lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Recognizing their successes not only boosts their confidence but also ignites a genuine enthusiasm for continuous learning. Understanding what motivates each student is a pivotal aspect of my teaching methodology. I take the time to delve into their musical inspirations, preferences, and personal goals. By doing so, I can tailor my instruction to align with their desires and needs, creating a personalized and engaging learning experience. This tailored approach ensures that students stay engaged and motivated and fosters a deep sense of ownership and connection with the music they're learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
My teaching style is to MAKE IT FUN. No punishment. I encourage my students to play or sing whatever they want with my help for the structure. For example: I'm teaching a student to date music theory. At one point 10 years ago when I was teaching a student theory, she completely shut down and wanted no longer to take piano lessons because of the difficulty of it. I had to completely change my game and switch over to the chord method. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
For me, it's less about styles and genres, and more about groove, and expression of the music! I'll play anything, as long as it's together with amazing musicians who can make the music come ALIVE, utilizing the wide a palette of sounds and scope of imagination as we can!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am currently on a mission to learn piano, guitar, bass, and drums to an intermediate level! My skills level on these instruments is still quite beginner, but I'm on the quest to being able to play all of them to a functional level. Why? Because I want to be the jam session KING!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Other than my great-grandmother, who was quite accomplished on a south Indian string instrument called the Veena, I am the only other musician in my family!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Gradually overtime, more and more fantastic musical moments have solidified my career path as a musician. Experiences such as going on tours at an young age, as well as my time in music school were amazingly exciting - and I am now just trying to pass on that joy that I have been lucky enough to feel for over 20 years now!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
(Australia) Higher School Certificate Nomination for excellence - "Encore" Concert (Sydney Opera House)
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For all instruments - developing a great sound, great sense of time and rhythm, is very difficult. Nothing is impossible though! Mastering anything just requires a plan, and the right amount of time.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I loosely use concepts for the "Effortless Mastery" Method, written by Kenny Werner.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I do about 90 mins of practise on my sound, and on basic technical facility (scales etc), and then a further 90 mins on something more musical - (pieces, transcriptions, etudes, or composing).
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance, Performance, Peformance! I love to perform.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
As an improvising musician - my dream piece is something I am yet to imagine I think!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Funny story - though the name for the Saxophone, was actually the word "Clarinet". So when I asked for a Clarinet, expecting to get a shiny, bendy, brass thing - I instead got a long, thin, black thing. So, from about 2004 - 2010 I was a clarinetist! Until I finally got around to purchasing my first saxophone in 2010, a beautiful 1939 Conn 10M.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
2019 pre-pandemic was a significant year for me. My original project, ARCING WIRES, a contemporary jazz/progressive rock band, toured across the globe, in the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Indonesia, and across 6 states in our home country of Australia.
In 2017, I also was a part of the Steve Barry Quartet, which was lucky enough to be billed as a opener for the fabulous Gerald Clayton Trio (piano - USA).
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
MANY!
Panamanian Piano virtuoso, Danilo Perez, was one of my more recently inspirational teachers. Learning from his vast experience across decades of performing at the very highest level was an incredible opportunity for me. Of course, I have to mention my first saxophone teacher, a gentleman in Sydney called Matt Keegan was also a huge influence on me as I was first starting to get serious in music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something psychology or physiology related! I am very interested in how the body adapts to playing an instrument, as well as the strategies and psychology of practice itself.
