Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Piccolo
Empowering my students is my first priority. They will be able to perform a song from the first lesson. I want them to enjoy learning and look forward to their lesson every week. I want them to feel confident about their musical ability and about themselves. My basic structure is a warm-up, review of previously assigned material, introduction of new material, and finishing the lesson with a student chosen song. Read More

I'm a performer/instructor residing in Willowick, OH. I grew up around Cleveland, where I founded the band Synasis with my brother. We played several local shows, as well as opening for national touring artists. I attended The Recording Workshop to study audio engineering in both the analog and digital realm. I studied music theory and liberal arts at Lakeland Community College and multiple instruments at the nearby Fine Arts Association. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon
I am a passionate and patient instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2000 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Instrumental Music Education, with a focus on Euphonium. I have worked as a long term sub in middle school band and have taught privately since that time. I currently work outside the education field, but still enjoy sharing music with those who want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Euphonium French Horn
I am an experienced and passionate teacher and performer. I hold my K-12 Music Teaching Certification in Ohio and New Jersey. As a professional vocalist, I have appeared with various orchestras and small opera companies in Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and beyond. I have performed at Severance Hall, Playhouse Square, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and Chicago's Harris Theater, but as a student, I never thought that would be the case. My teachers have included some of the finest in the Northeast and Midwest, and I thank them for treating me as an individual with unique needs as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, I typically start with Piano Adventures. Advanced beginners usually have other excellent methods such as Bastien, Schuam, or Alfred, and I use any method which is acceptable. Adults, or more advanced students, usually have a particular interest in a certain style of music or keyboard skill which I help cultivate. Though nothing matches the sound, subtlety and feel of an acoustic - the essence of the art of the classical tradition - I encourage students to use MIDI-aided learning tools to develop their sight-reading skills.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I like to tailor my approach to make music FUN for my students. I don't want them to ever think practice is a chore. My students don't "work" their insturments, they "play" them. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My lessons include a time to practice piano technique as well as time to learn new pieces. I usually recommend R. and N. Faber books for beginners. I also encourage performances and for those, I let students choose works (classical, romantic, contemporary, jazz, or pop) based on skill level and personal interest. Having a goal for a performance can really help to motivate learning and practicing at home.I also incorporate duets when appropriate. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
For me, it's less about styles and genres, and more about groove, and expression of the music! I'll play anything, as long as it's together with amazing musicians who can make the music come ALIVE, utilizing the wide a palette of sounds and scope of imagination as we can!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am currently on a mission to learn piano, guitar, bass, and drums to an intermediate level! My skills level on these instruments is still quite beginner, but I'm on the quest to being able to play all of them to a functional level. Why? Because I want to be the jam session KING!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Other than my great-grandmother, who was quite accomplished on a south Indian string instrument called the Veena, I am the only other musician in my family!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Gradually overtime, more and more fantastic musical moments have solidified my career path as a musician. Experiences such as going on tours at an young age, as well as my time in music school were amazingly exciting - and I am now just trying to pass on that joy that I have been lucky enough to feel for over 20 years now!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
(Australia) Higher School Certificate Nomination for excellence - "Encore" Concert (Sydney Opera House)
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For all instruments - developing a great sound, great sense of time and rhythm, is very difficult. Nothing is impossible though! Mastering anything just requires a plan, and the right amount of time.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I loosely use concepts for the "Effortless Mastery" Method, written by Kenny Werner.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I do about 90 mins of practise on my sound, and on basic technical facility (scales etc), and then a further 90 mins on something more musical - (pieces, transcriptions, etudes, or composing).
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance, Performance, Peformance! I love to perform.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
As an improvising musician - my dream piece is something I am yet to imagine I think!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Funny story - though the name for the Saxophone, was actually the word "Clarinet". So when I asked for a Clarinet, expecting to get a shiny, bendy, brass thing - I instead got a long, thin, black thing. So, from about 2004 - 2010 I was a clarinetist! Until I finally got around to purchasing my first saxophone in 2010, a beautiful 1939 Conn 10M.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
2019 pre-pandemic was a significant year for me. My original project, ARCING WIRES, a contemporary jazz/progressive rock band, toured across the globe, in the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Indonesia, and across 6 states in our home country of Australia.
In 2017, I also was a part of the Steve Barry Quartet, which was lucky enough to be billed as a opener for the fabulous Gerald Clayton Trio (piano - USA).
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
MANY!
Panamanian Piano virtuoso, Danilo Perez, was one of my more recently inspirational teachers. Learning from his vast experience across decades of performing at the very highest level was an incredible opportunity for me. Of course, I have to mention my first saxophone teacher, a gentleman in Sydney called Matt Keegan was also a huge influence on me as I was first starting to get serious in music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something psychology or physiology related! I am very interested in how the body adapts to playing an instrument, as well as the strategies and psychology of practice itself.
