Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
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 Bass Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to my college days when I began tutoring other students in 2001. After graduating in 2003 I transitioned to private lessons and have been teaching ever since. Regular practice on a consistent basis is one of the main points I emphasize to my students. It helps them progress and gain a passion for their instrument. A combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their instrument and motivate them to continue learning. Read More

I encourage and explain aspects of music theory in addition to playing techniques in lessons. I like to find out what kind of music my students really enjoy and I integrate that into my lessons. Seeing my students succeed is a very rewarding experience and I tailor my lessons to ensure that sense of progress and accomplishment is developed every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I teach children as young as 6, and adults well into retirement. I first assess the student's musical goals, then tailor the teaching method to achieve those goals. Some students want to just have fun, some want to learn "hum and strum", while others want to prepare for competitions or perfomances or go on to become professional musicians. Beginners and novice students first learn the basics of music theory by progressing through an established music course. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano since I was 4. I have been awarded diplomas in piano performance and accompaniment from Trinity College London and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, and did my Bachelor of Arts in Music (Piano Performance and Musicology) at the College of Charleston, SC, where I graduated summa cum laude. I went on to complete an artist certificate in Charleston and is now a Masters candidate at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The main book I teach out of for upright bass is F. Simandl New Method for Double Bass. I am a little more regimented with teaching double bass because it is more demanding instrument to learn as it requires more rigorous training. It is important to take your time learning each position and working your way up the neck. However, once enough proficiency is attained I begin to jump ahead and incorporate other advanced techniques to paint the bigger picture. When it comes to the bass guitar, I have created my own method of teaching which I begin with a student assessment. Sometimes students have advanced technique but lack the knowledge of neck, as well as their chord/scale theory, and in this case I will have the student go back and solidify their fundamentals.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice is mostly jazz related which covers a lot of ground and naturally strengthens all aspects music, including other styles of music due to its broad harmonic spectrum of musical language. More specifically most of my practice is tune based practice, so this will include transcribing, jazz language, as well as technical exercises and improvising. Practice isn't making music so it is important to put your practice into play. You cant only practice in a vacuum for the rest of your life, so it is very important to put your skills to use and jam and/or gig with other musicians and artists.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor Degree in Music Performance from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA. I chose this degree because I have been preforming music since I was 8 years old. I began my musical journey by singing in a choir and eventually started playing bass guitar when I was 12 years old. I continued actively playing through my teens in jazz bands as well as other bands I formed with my friends. I realized when I was in 8th grade that I wanted to pursue music as a career, and ever since then that became my main focus and haven't stopped since!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform. There is so much music out there and I enjoy playing all different kinds. It can get a little dreary playing the same tunes over and over again so that why I get excited to perform and/or write new music. However, I really do enjoy playing some of my favorite jazz tunes. The thing with jazz is it never gets old. The tune is a vehicle for improvisation, and with improvisation, the playing of yourself and whoever you're playing with is going to come out differently every time, which keeps things fresh and interesting.
