My teaching style is relaxed and easy going. This is because I try my best to cater to my student's needs. My goal when teaching a student is to be a resource to help them reach their full musical potential. This can be done by setting realistic goals, practice routines and using tension free techniques. I also try my best when teaching to give my students a safe space where they can feel free to grow, create, and express. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard
As an educator it is my goal for students to be able to communicate through the language of music. Whether the student is a beginner or advanced, the first thing they will be taught is to listen and respond. Ive always believed that the best way to learn music is as if you are learning a foreign language. When learning a language, one is given a small amount of vocabulary, they learn what it means, and practice using it in conversations. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'd been teaching piano for novice to advance beginner way back on my college days till now. I also play in different events like wedding, debut, birthday parties.I remember this one student that she even requested her mom to make her once a week schedule to 3x a week schedule just to see me I can't lie I was flattered. I'd been teachiNg to kids ages 2up. I'ts fun and I love my job. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
Music is for everyone and I want lessons to always be a safe space, and a fun space. There is no one right pace for people to learn, whatever works best for you! We can achieve this by setting S.M.A.R.T goals, as well as potential benchmarks to rate progress by. I like to approach each lesson with empathy, humor, and curiosity. I think there is much we can learn from ourselves and each other, so I like to keep my teaching focused, exciting, but also attentive to each persons needs and what goals we are trying to achieve in a given day.

During my teaching, Ive gained skills of working with children of all ages. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginning students I use the Mel Bay Guitar Method. Mel Bay books have provided reliable teaching methods for many decades. They are clearly written and easy to follow. I find these books helpful in building a strong foundation for growing a young student's technical proficiency. They are written in standard notation which improves sight-reading and helps train the student's ear. I will supplement the Mel Bay Method with popular songs the student is interested in. The goal is to get the student performing the songs he/she wants to play while building fundementals adaptable to all styles of music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the instrument is musicality and instinct. They are difficult things to teach. You can play the right notes but why does Hendrix sound like he does playing the very same notes on the same instrument? Listening properly is not an easy thing for a student to understand. It's more than playing the right notes within the correct tempo. It's all the space in-between the notes. It's all the time in-between the beats. Touch, feel and grace are very difficult things to accomplish on an instrument. Mastering the instrument requires focus, dedication and time.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had students go on to major in music in college - including at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. I've had a student graduate with a Masters degree from Webster University. Many of my students have formed bands and performed live while also writing and recording their own songs. One of my students signed a major record contract with his band and toured the country. Others have accomplished smaller goals which brought them just as much joy. Becoming accomplished guitarists who can comfortably perform their favorite songs.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of writing my own songs and producing my own records. They represent my stories. My take on life. Having the opportunity to travel and perform these songs live is something I'm so grateful for. Seeing people at a concert reacting to something I've recorded or seeing people react online to something I've written is touching. Traveling the world to play music is something I'm very proud of. I'm also proud to live and work in Nashville. It's an honor to be a part of this music community - to be a part of recording sessions with the greatest musicians and producers on the planet.
