Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon
I began teaching privately as a high school student, working with begnning students at the middle school. I have taught privately in my home and in students' homes since graduating from college. Regular practice is very important and something I emphasize with my students. I like to include a mixture of classical and modern music in my lessons, so that students enjoy what they are learning and playing. If a student does not enjoy their time playing their instrument, they will not want to put the practice in and lessons will become a point of argument. Read More

I simply enjoy helping people establish and accomplish their goals on their instruments. The first step is to identify what holds a student's attention. What is it about music that has motivated them to study? Not everyone has the same goal or vision, which is a good thing. Even self-taught musicians incorporate theory and harmony into their compositions. My personal style toggles between when I was 14 learning Metallica songs to the present, having studied jazz and classical harmony. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
As previously stated, I believe that each session should be individualized to best suit each student's needs. For a typical beginner, I will first teach posture and note identification followed by basic warm-ups. Once the basics are taught, the student will be allowed more flexibility in the repertoire and specific skills he/she wants to learn. For children, I may teach fun, short, simple songs first to keep the student engaged. Read More

I have accompanied my students on stage with Audra McDonald in Chicago, and I have had students move on to professional and semi-professional careers in classical music and music theater. A few years back, one of my voice students landed a major role in one of the most successful movie-musicals in recent history. My production of Little Shop of Horrors from Manalapan High School in NJ is the most viewed amateur production of that show on YouTube. Read More
Instruments: Piano

I have performed in various venues in Texas. I have a strong background in both solo and collaborative performance. Read More
Instruments: Drums
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew that I wanted to play music. My family isn’t very musical so it’s always been something I felt within myself and once I joined my first band, I knew that I would always keep doing it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Rock and funk are my favorite. A good funk groove has nothing that can top it. Add those horns and a great bass player are what get people dancing.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a car mechanic. I’ve always loved cars and sometimes work on my own. It’s always good to have basic knowledge of something you depend on.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I don’t have a music degree. My degree is in geography. I just happen to be a musician as a hobby and spare time. I just love making music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
What is hip by tower of power. My band used to play this song and I did it to a certain degree but always knew that the drummer was very accomplished.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I mostly practice songs and parts for the band I’m in. I also use patterns fan fills that some really accomplished players have used in their songs and efforts.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I will only use the method that best fits the student. I’ve not used any recent methods. I’m open to any method and I’d want to be flexible to the student and the parents.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is sight reading and polyrhythms. They are by far the most challenging thing in music, not just for the drummer or percussionist.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I’ve never had a student win any honors or awards. I’m just re-entering the teaching world so hopefully that will change going forward. I look for forward to new students.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of the albums I’ve created and the songwriting contributions. The drum parts that I’ve played that become part of the song are what is the most exciting.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I play a few instruments but always loved drums. I grew up listening to rock and the drummers always seemed to be having fun and were sometimes in the spotlight.
When will I start to see results?
The results will depend on the desire and dedication of the student. They need to be practicing and showing results no matter how small those results are.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I never had a teacher that inspired me musically. I did have other musicians that always inspired me and many of them aren’t drummers. They were actually song writers and performers.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They’ve exhausted the online or self taught resources and have asked to have a teacher and also showed some talent and have put in the practice.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have a goal in mind each time you practice. Be it a song or a pattern and set that as a goal and take lots of notes to know where you started and where you ended.
