Instruments: Piano Violin
I began teaching because to me, nothing is more beautiful than watching someone's love for music bloom in front of me, to allow someone to find a vessel through music. Therefor, it's important to me that each student goes at their own pace, and strive to tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. It's important to me that in each lesson we cover 3 important sections, theory, performance, and technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone
I currently teach and direct the guitar program at a Fine Arts Magnet School. I have taught guitar formally for 20 years and have also been a Band Director for 10 Years. I graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Music Education and recieved a Master of Education from the University of Central Oklahoma. I am currently accepting a limited number of students at my home studio in Pearland, TX. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I take pride in my ability to tailor lesson plans, providing guidance that helps students navigate frustration, cultivate effective learning patterns, and achieve progressive goals, ultimately fostering a sense of accomplishment. I possess a strong aptitude for enhancing sight-reading, memorization, and piano techniques. My interpersonal skills shine through my ability to build rapport and read non-verbal cues, creating a supportive and conducive learning environment. I firmly establish a solid musical foundation by incorporating basic music theory into weekly lessons, infusing education with enthusiasm and a lighthearted, fun atmosphere. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching and working with children about 10 years ago in a public school setting. I've worked with children in various settings including the YMCA, local Sports Teams, and youth programs at several churches. I've taught music for 6 years and have enjoyed it since. I like to encourage those students who enjoy music as much as I do, to get involved in other music programs in the community, at school, or even at church, that way their gifts can be shared with others.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Classical Guitar
For beginning students I use the Bastien System. For Adults, I use The Alfred Adult beginner for Piano Lessons. I try to adapt the method to the skill of the student, which incorporates my own system, based on years of teaching. I teach according to the student;s skill, and at their own pace. I sometimes use the Trinity College of Music, london, syllabus. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

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.
