Instruments: Piano Trombone
For beginner piano students, I start from teaching out of the Piano Adventure Series, and Theory Time books. The Piano Adventure Series is great because the song arrangements have tiered piano proficiency for beginner to intermediate players. After students work in these books, other repertoire can be added to perform for holidays and recitals. For trombone students, I first make sure my students make characteristic sounds and introduce music to meet their playing level. Read More

I usually start all of my piano students from the Alfred series. Those that are more advanced will complete the curriculum quicker.. Alfred seems to offer a more detailed instruction technique. It offers step by step instructions. The student can almost teach himself. For guitar I use the Everyday guitar method. This method introduces each string at a time. By the end of the book, you will be playing songs on each string. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
For beginning students I have a number of books, resources and methods that I utilize in order to keep the lesson engaging and enjoyable. For more advanced students, I typically have a lesson plan or a direction that I want to go after assessing strengths and weaknesses. For all of my students, I always ensure that we are learning and practicing music and concepts that they find enjoyable and is headed in a direction that they want to go, all the while still challenging them of course.

Instruments: Piano
I train students in performance, improvisation and composition, and use multiple forms of disciplinary actions to correct students behavior. Each student's progress is my progress. I love to work with students of all ages. I am serious, disciplined, and structured. However, I am also exceptionally friendly, helpful, polite and patient. I am fluent in English, Russia, Azeri, and Turkish. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
Just like homeschooling, students will learn individually at their own pace. Students must enjoy their lesson. Sometimes the students may find it discouraging but it is my mission to give them acknowledgment in their accomplishments and nurturing so they can continue to flourish and be the best musicians they can be.

I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided in the 6th grade after hearing Immigrant omg by Led Zeppelin. When I heard that guitar and that rhythm I was never the same. Soon after I heard Jimi Hendrix and I knew that I was going to be a guitarist. Once I heard even more guitarists like Eric Clapton and BB King, I was even more excited. My first influence on The bass definitely had to be Marcus Miller. One day I was playing too many notes on a show rehearsal. A teacher of mine who happened to be the drummer said you need listen to this. This is a bass player. You need to get in the pocket son!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. My grandfather was a musician. His brother played with Little Richard, Otis Redding, and Chuck Berry. I learned that my mother was a pianist when she was younger. Everyone on my mothers side of our family either could sing, dance, or was a musician. I knew as a child that music was my calling. My grandfather would play outside on the porch and the whole neighborhood would come to our yard and all of a sudden we would have shindig going. My aunt sings in the choir at her church and has been in the choir for over 30 years
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I actually play the guitar pretty well but I am self taught. I understand chords and soloing. Guitar was actually my first instrument of choice. But the bass seemed to be more needed. I love the blues and funk guitar. My favorite style is blues rock mixed with improv. Jazz and bebop is mixed in also. I can play guitar with just about any body in my opinion but I’m still learning certain techniques that require slot of time and money to master. The electric guitar and acoustic guitar are also my favorites. I’m also an upright bassist as well as a drummer and producer.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
On the bass guitar it’s Funk. Funk stands for Fun Kids and it used to be A bad word. Reggae is number two on my list because of the important role it plays. The blues is third. Rock and punk is fourth. I absolutely love jazz and walking bass lines. Old soul music is awesome too. But my favorite would have to be funk because I believe everything can be made to be funky. Rock music like Motörhead and The Ramones are great styles with different bass tones that can be easily differentiated once the music is being learned by someone. That is one of the cool things about the bass guitar
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I probably would be a fishing guide or a professional hunter. I loved football as a kid but I didn’t get big enough fast enough. I also enjoy landscaping and yard work. I would probably be a guitar builder with my own custom instruments that I would sell to all the rockstars and musicians. I’m pretty good at cleaning so I might have a cleaning service/home improvement business. I like farming so I can see myself on a tractor plowing a big field. I also like cooking and eating so I can se myself as a chef
