Instruments: Piano
I keep a "Piano Homework Assignment" Word document for each student on my laptop which I can then email to you after your lesson is over for reference during the week. A usual assignment would consist of a "Warm Up" section where we focus on hand position or scales or technique, a "Lesson Book" or "Repertoire" section where we work on new pieces or songs, a "Theory" section for written assignments, a "Fun" list for pieces we are done with but want to keep playing just for fun and then a number of special sections depending on student interest. Special sections might be things like - improvisation, composition, playing by ear, recital or competition prep, exam prep, sight reading, ear training, etc. I'm comfortable in few method series but I prefer Faber Piano Adventures for typical beginning children and The Music Tree for very young beginners. I try to make sure each student has a piece they love every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My methods depend heavily on the age of the student and the level of student I am working with. An example would be the beginner level. For beginning students, I first focus on helping them understand their range (i.e. bass, tenor, alto, soprano) and important fundamentals of singing (i.e. loose jaw, full use of our body as support for our voice, relaxed tongue, proper breath support with the diaphragm, expansion of the ribs, proper body posture, etc).

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I first started teaching as a teenager, helping out in a religious classroom on the weekends during the year, and as a summer camp counselor in the summer. I have taught many creative subjects, including music, poetry, and song writing. I have always loved teaching, learning is one of the greatest ways two minds can connect - of any age! I really love music theory, and enjoy using whatever style of music my students are interested in as a pathway to gain more knowledge and understanding of the music my students play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I stay flexible to the individual students' needs. I try to keep the student engaged and ask many questions to help them become their own best teacher. I will give assignments and create goals but also want the student to be self motivated. I will not be overly strict when it comes to practice. I like to have the student approach music with joy and curiosity. I like to keep the learning positive and help the students find their voice within music and find what motivates them intrinsically.

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Suzuki level books, String Explorer and Fiddletime joggers to increase sightreading and listening skills. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. 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
I've loved piano playing and performance since I attended a piano recital in college. I love to practice, and have developed methods to make practice more efficient and fun. I encourage students to attend recitals and performances whenever possible, since this can provide motivation and familiarity with the piano literature. I encourage students to choose the music they want to play, and don't impose my preferences on them, though classical literature and basic harmonic theory are important. I've performed numerous times, mostly in informal situations such as church, parties, rest homes, and hotels. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I throughly enjoy making music. I started taking piano lessons when I was 5 years old and continued taking all the way through graduate school at TCU, where I graduated in 2016. Playing solo and collaborating with fellow musicians are still some of my favorite pass times. I enjoy playing all kinds of genres: Classical, pop, worship, Bossa Nova. Some of my most memorable experiences have been collaborative. From playing piano duets in grade school, singing in church choir, to accompanying in semi-professional competitions, like the Young Texas Artists Competition, I find performing with others is fun and exciting.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I wanted to play the saxophone at the age of 4 because an older family friend who was 9 at the time started playing it in beginning band, and I thought he was one of the coolest kids ever. So when I turned 9, it was inevitable that I'd also play the sax in beginning band. That's really the only reason I chose to play the it. The rest of my career with the instrument is just a series of good teachers and good decisions that made it more or less the centerpiece of my life. It could be that I'm somehow better suited for a different instrument or a different life style but, really, who cares? I have no objections to the life choice that I made at the age of 4.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of the three awards that Bard College gave me while I studied there. I think they accurately reflect a lot of really hard work that I put in to improve. But I'm most proud of my final concert as a second semester senior at Bard, which is harder to describe succinctly in resume-format. But for this concert I wrote an hour's worth of original material based on a book I read by late 20th century psychologist, Julian Jaynes. I wanted the concert to be one cohesive piece of music that really took the listener on some kind of journey. I feel that I was really successful in doing so. It is the most difficult project I've undertaken to date.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the saxophone is probably the tone. Out of the gates, we know that everybody's tone is going to be different because one of the resonators of the saxophone is your own mouth and throat. So two people playing the exact same horn with all the same equipment will still sound different. To add to the conundrum, even after you've developed really good embouchure and breathing habits and feel like you're getting an authentic sound, there are still myriad mouthpieces, ligatures, reeds, even saxophone necks which you can mix and match, every combination giving you a different sound. So it's tough to know what to change if you want your tone to change. Do you need to refine your technique? Do you need different equipment? Possibly both.
