My students can expect a teacher who is patient, understanding, and demands the very best from them, according to their abilities. Teaching has always been my passion and I believe that children gain so much more than just an elegant skill. Students of all ages gain confidence, self-esteem, and a good work ethic. Music is linked to better math grades, improved memory, and general. I love that my job is helping students achieve their goals. Read More

I had started teaching music to my fellow peers in high school as a school project, and since then have been teaching privately to all ages and skill levels, as well as afterschool arts programs and guitar shops around San Diego. I encourage my students to have a good idea of what they want to accomplish, and through our lessons we'll focus in depth on not only reaching these goals, but doing so in a fun and creative way.

For beginning piano students, I like to use the Piano Adventure book series. They do a very good job at laying out the basics of piano technique in a fun and colorful way for young children. As the students progress through the series I will encourage them to begin learning pieces on their own and eventually preparing them for recital performances. For vocal students, I like to teach based on their ability and style preference. Read More

I believe that music provides opportunities for students to learn in ways that they will never experience in an academic classroom setting. Music provides a gateway for students of ALL ages, social, and economic backgrounds to have obtain a feeling of gratification and immense sense of pride. I worked in an incredibly hostile environment with a skeleton team of dedicated teachers that relied on each other and our innate desire to educate to strive for our educational goals. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Before relocating to Carlsbad California, I served as Worship Pastor at Living Water Community Church in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. I was successful in bridging the gap between the sudden departure of permanent worship pastor and the hiring of another. During this interim assignment, I introduced a more balanced selection of worship music more reflective of the diversity within the congregation.
In addition, last May, I directed an ensemble that provided the music for a play: "A Warm Heart of Steel". This play was set in Pittsburg between 1968 and 1973. We, therefore covered music of Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Donny Hathaway, and Lena Horne.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
There was not a particular teacher that inspired me. However, there were people in my community of whom I admired. For example, my cousin Larry, whom I idolized played for the church as I was growing up. More than the music, I admired the role he played in commanding the attention of the choir and congregation. My first musical mentor was Mr. Thomas Goodson, who was a jazz organist and member of our church. In a traditional Baptist congregation, he was infusing jazz chords over the rather straight hymnal renditions that we sang.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I did not choose the piano, it was chosen for me. My father was a diesel mechanic on tugboats in New York Harbor during World War II. He spent many weekends on shore in the barracks with no entertainment. In fact, the navy provided a piano in the barracks but no one could play. Therefore, he determined that upon leaving the service and beginning his family, his children would have piano lessons. I only discovered this promise to himself one Saturday morning when a big truck pulled up to our home and they unloaded a Story & Clark piano. We were in piano lessons the following week.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend parents set a timer for a specific time; not less than ten minutes per day, but not more than an hour. Follow the teachers guidelines for what to accomplish so that the time will be effective. Plan a time that there is relative calm in the home and limit the distractions that a TV or other noises might create. I also advise that no pressure is put on the student if family schedules does not permit practice every day. Don't sweat it. We do not want the thought of practice to become drudgery.
