Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is dependent on the particular student. For all students, I work to not over assign pieces. There is so much to learn in music, it can be tempting to try to teach concepts too quickly. However, an organized, logical approach that introduces one concept at a time works best. The best music theory teacher I have had was organized and was able to stick to teaching one concept at a time, with sequential lessons building on the information from the previous lesson. Read More

I began teaching music at the age of 15, primarily guitar and piano lessons for beginners ages 7-14 in my hometown of Parker, CO. At 16 I began teaching my students basic music theory and intermediate instrumental instruction. I moved to Boston in 2012 to pursue an undergraduate degree in Songwriting from Berklee College of Music in Boston, still actively teaching throughout my curriculum. I have now taught over 200 students ages 4 to 64 a wide variety of music-related subjects, including: piano, guitar, bass, voice, music theory, D.A.W. and notation software, and contemporary songwriting.

As I experienced different teachers, I learned that I do my best when I enjoy my lesson. To make this happen, it's the teacher's job to make the lesson more fun and comfortable for students. Since I was not always the best student for my teachers (I know, I know... I used to hate doing practices on pieces I didn't like!), I know how students think and am more than willing to understand their perspective. Read More

My teaching philosophy is to develop my student’s potential. The autobiography by Russian opera singer Galina Vishnevskaya was truly an inspiration to me. One of her teachers almost destroyed her voice, while another revived it and developed to be one of the best voices of her time. That is what I strive to do when I teach my students – to realize their potential, to give them skills and knowledge, to inspire them to grow and to reach higher horizons. Read More

As your teacher I make your music goals my top priority and guide you through our lessons based on what you hope to achieve. I have a wide range of experience and can draw upon many different teaching styles depending on the needs my students. Every student has challenges they face when learning an instrument and my goal is to help isolate those challenges and create a plan for conquering them. Read More

My goal is to pass my deep love for music on to everyone that I teach. I will work hard for my students, and in return hopefully they will work hard for me. Learning to play a music instrument takes patience and discipline. The rewards are incredible, it can teach a student so much more than being able to play just music. Valuable life lessons come from playing a music instrument. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
In the wake of the late, great EVH, I've been working on learning the nearly-unbelievable guitar work on 'Hot For Teacher'.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I like to think I'd be some sort of engineer or architect. In reality, I'd probably just listen to a lot of music, cry into a bowl of ice cream, and wish I was Frank Zappa. It's what I do some days already.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
After violin and guitar came drums. My first-ever band met in the drummer's garage, as they usually do, and one day the drummer was, somehow, late to practice at his own house. The bassist started playing, and I thought, psh, let's see how hard it is. Turns out I have a blast playing drums - the physical rush and the multi-limb coordination might make it the most fun I have playing an instrument.
I began to play the sitar after spending one night of a balmy spring tour in Raleigh, North Carolina, at a DIY venue inside a converted dance studio - big floor-to-ceiling mirrors everywhere. A resident of the space brought out his sitar and showed me the correct, rather punishing posture and fingerpicking tools needed to play the instrument properly. It hurt! And made me fascinated with the nigh-fretless sound it produced. I've loved the sitar ever since.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I have seen many guitar who players suffer from the burden of being too excited to play, and having too many things they want to do in their playing in too short a time. All the flashy skill and shredding in the world won't make you sound good if you aren't playing to what's happening around you. The hardest thing to master as a musician, in my eyes, is to learn to listen more than you create - then to create with intention.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents started me on violin lessons when I was four years old. By the time I got to be a pre-teen, I realized I'd gone most of my life playing an instrument I didn't feel that strongly about! It was around this time that a classmate of mine introduced me to Green Day (had to happen sometime), and I felt right away that I should be playing the electric guitar. It happened that my years of violin helped me make the switch just about immediately, and before long I was making tremendous progress - the fruits of actually caring about my instrument! I ran with it and never looked back. A few months ago, my bandmate picked up an old violin, and I felt a great rush of nostalgia. I found that, after taking a couple of days to warm up, I could jump right back into playing it - not as well as I had when I was practicing two hours a day, but not too shabby for someone who hadn't touched one in over ten years.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows passion or interest in an instrument, they've already got the biggest part down! Get them started with a teacher who will encourage and challenge them to make the most out of their enthusiasm.
If you think your child might be interested, but aren't sure, have a conversation with them. Ask them about the music they like. Ask what sounds they like. Often, children don't realize how much they enjoy something until they have a chance to try it out for themselves. If you think they might benefit from a creative outlet, or if you notice them reacting positively to music, give it a shot and see how they like it.
