Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard Djembe
For beginners, it's important to build from a solid foundation, so I emphasize on creating a strong understanding of musical concepts. From there, the student is able to decide on the direction they would like to move towards, classical, pop, etc. I typically teach through the Alfred methods, but am also flexible & have experience from teaching through additional materials that work best for the student. For students with previous musical experience, we decide together if the student would like to continue with their current curriculum or move in a different direction. Read More

Teaching is a huge responsibilty that I do not take light heartedly. If we as teachers do a suburd job, it will have a huge effect on a students over all life. Musical education teaches us about the mind and body and balance between the two. It teaches us logic, problem solving, and creative thinking in balance with eachother. It teaches us posture, breath, how to think. It teaches us to listen, and to communicate, to engage with others, it teaches us work ethic and how to colloborate with anyone. Read More

I started playing acoustic folk styles in 1962 and added 60's rock and more as time went on. I joined my first rock band in 1965 and have now played all styles of rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass, jazz, and contemporary Christian and worship music. I also play and teach bass and other stringed fretted instruments, keyboards, and drums and percussion. I began teaching private music lessons in 1968 and began teaching professionally in 1989 at AZ Bible College. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I teach how to read music and mainly use Faber & Faber method for both children and adults. For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber and Faber primer level. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce scales and solo repertoire. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Beginning students for woodwinds (flute, clarinet, saxophone) usually start with the Essential Elements book. As they advance the next books are usually Breeze Easy book 2 followed by the Rubank Intermediate and Advanced Methods. Advanced students will break into instrument specific methods. Flute with use methods such as The Melodious Studies and Pares scales books, clarinets with use the Klose books and Saxophone students will use Ferling and Klose studies. Students wishing to study jazz methods will use either the Jim Snidero or Walt Weiskopf methods. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More
Instruments: Piano Recorder Music
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I grew up listening to my Uncle practicing the violin - he's a violin master now. I was going to learn violin as I admired his music very much. But, it was an hours drive to the nearest violin teacher. My Mom loved the piano and often listened to good piano music. Furthermore, we first had an organ and later a piano for her to play on. I rather liked it, so I chose to take piano lessons. In fact, she had been teaching me bits and pieces for several years when I began the lessons. All told, I was about a year into learning.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The first musical accomplishment I was very proud of, was the day I was first able to make the music SING, instead of just pushing keys. If a student keeps practicing, one day, it just happens!
However, most of the ones I'm proud of involve my students. There's your everyday students who do a good basic job and steadily learn, the ones who are exceptional and push themselves and then earn scholarships, grants and entrances to great schools and difficult programs because of what they have learned to do. And, then there are the special ones with disabilities.
I enjoy working with all my students. I was the only teacher in the area for many, many years that would take students with moderate to severe disabilities. My favorite 2 stories are the ones about the adult with childhood Polio and the child with Williams Syndrome. The adult with Polio after effects had no use of her left hand and very limited use of her right hand. About 3 1/2 years later I lost her as a student. She had regained full use of both hands, though left was a bit weaker, had earned a major promotion at work and no longer had the time. Though, she still plays at home a lot. She worked very hard, and really, I just provided the road map, but WOW! Williamson Syndrome is quite rare and like Down's, except the life span isn't shortened, the facial features are regular and they are gold all over: eyes, hair and skin! They do have the delayed physical coordination and mental delay as well. When my student started, she was nearly 5, but mentally she was about 2 maybe 2 1/2. She came to me from the original studies on Music & Brain Development at UC Irvine. The study was to be 6 months. She was doing so well they ended up extending her study to about 14 months as I recall. We even had her getting up early to do aerobics with Grandma before school to work on physical coordination and her sense of steady beat and tempo! She did better than any other child in the study and at he end she was 6 years old was pretty much behaving like a 6 year old and could play many simple songs. I was so proud of her. Admittedly, the family did most of the work and again, I just provided a road map, but again, WOW!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a family that inspired me. Everyone on my Mom's side sang and played at least a little piano and if it was a little piano, it was because they specialized in another instrument. All my cousins and I were in the children's choir when we got old enough. Everyone tends to sing or hum if they are happy. My Mom regularly played good quality music with a lot of variety at home. Some of my earliest memories are being danced around in her arms to music and even when I got older we still did a lot of dancing around to music - by the way, dancing is a great way to learn to feel the beat and Feel the music through your body - it leads to a great and easy way to develop expression in your music. I rarely have to teach keeping a steady beat to those who dance. We often went to see things that had music in them. Even my Dad, who was not musical, still loved music. He would often listen to music at night after work, instead of watching TV. He alternated between conducting the music with a smile on his face and trying to name all the instruments he heard. The big difference between my parents is that my Mom was raised with music as just a part of life and my Dad wasn't. Make music a part of your and your children's lives. We are surrounded by music all the time, but ignore it. Take time to stop and listen and appreciate the Music!
