Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I emphasize the importance of developing good technique and a fundamental understanding of the basic components of music: major and minor scales, arpeggios, chords, modes and chord progressions. I believe that technical facility makes it easier to accomplish musical goals while developing musicianship. I like to tailor my lessons to each student using music that the student brings to me to create lessons and exercises. For students that like to uses books I like to use the Hal Leonard Method books for Guitar, Bass, Banjo, and Ukulele and the Alfred Method books for Piano and Drums. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello
I love watching my students grow and be inspired to play something they like! I do try to be sensitive to each student's learning pace. I always ask them if they have any questions and make sure I'm not going too fast for them, or too slow. I do my best to praise my students when I can tell they have worked hard and I try to keep them inspired and motivated to keep going and try to get something to the next level. Read More

I am a patient teacher and encourge students to work at their own pace. If we need to spend more time on a certain concept or technique than one lesson allows, we will. I want to make sure that they understand throroughly before moving on to the next concept. At the same time, I want my students to feel challenged in their lessons so that they will be willing to go home and put the work in during their practice time. 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

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.
