Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Mandolin Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners, I like to start by teaching some basic versions of songs that you love. I will also start out teaching some basic chords and strumming patterns. I can show you the proper way to hold and play your instrument so that it is comfortable and sustainable. I will also be teaching you some scales which you can use to play any song you hear. Did you know that once you learn the major scale, almost every song you hear will fall on that scale? Read More

My process is based on (but does not adhere strictly to) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory. In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment. All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory. Read More

I am very disciplined as a musician and highly creative. I believe in balancing technique and theory with creativity. I love to help my students expand thier talents, and develop their confidence and their own sense of musical authority. Composition is my main forte', but i also believe that theory and technique are important as they provide a musician with a broader pallet to draw from when creating original thier works. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Music
For piano beginning students, I usually start with the Alfred Book series. This is a really fun way for the piano students to grasp the fundamentals and learn how to independently move each finger at different times. As the student progresses, I try to find out what kind of style they enjoy playing and advise which books to purchase next. My goal as an educator is to develop a unique style and approach molded by each student in order to the gain the most success. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Although my expertise is in performance, vocal technique, musical analysis, theory, and principle applications of classical music, 10 years of experience has taught me that the arts encompass every aspect of our lives. Through music, literature, and the arts, I endeavor to inspire children and adults alike to learn at play, to give and grow, explore and discover. I believe that every moment of a young persons life is an opportunity for growth and enrichment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I've received instruction from Robert Skiles (Beto y Los Fairlanes), Rich Harney, Riley Osbourne and Grammy-winning pianist, Floyd Domino, among others. After traveling much of the world as a musician, I am pleased to return to my hometown and share what I've learned with those seeking instruction. My teaching style ranges from simplified beginner lessons that facilitate a basic understanding of music and the piano, to demonstrating shortcuts and tradecraft for more advanced ensemble players.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My step-father had a used, generic-brand alto saxophone in the back of his closet from his days of playing in school bands. When the time came for me to choose an elective for junior high, I chose band as I always liked both the look of the saxophone as well as its sound (as heard from many selections of pop music in a variety of specific genres).
But I must tell you that music (school band with the saxophone) was my only extra-curricular activity. Coming from a large family, that was all we could afford, and failure was not an option. So, I practiced at least 2-3 hours every single day! The saxophone accompanied me to friends' houses, on family vacations to see distant relatives, at church functions...as long as everyone was awake I played. I played because I wanted to achieve certain results (e.g., specific techniques, the ability to master various songs, etc.)
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I were not a musician then I'd still be teaching...the passion for education began in elementary for me. One way or another, I'll always be teaching!
However, there are other skills I have obtained. As a result of having to pay for college on my own (coming from a large family whose parents have no formal education), I didn't receive my bachelor's degree (in music education) until I was 26 years old. Most of my electives in my undergrad were computer programming courses. When I was an upperclassman in high school, the dot-com boom was in full effect. I learned BASIC of different kinds (e.g., QuickBASIC, etc.) as well as COBOL and Visual Basic (one of my favorite languages!). I even taught Web Page Design w/HTML to continuing education students when I myself was only 19 years old! As a private music instructor today, I design and code my website myself using HTML and JavaScript and no fancy software---just freehand using only Notepad!
Also, my investments perform at least as well as I do: I've been investing in stocks since I was 18 years old (1997) and in commodities (futures market) since 2000. Today, half of my income as a private music instructor comes from trading crude oil, gold and soybeans futures contracts on an almost daily basis. Doing what I do for a living provides me with the flexibility to be at home on my computer when regularly scheduled reports are released which provides an incredible amount of volume and opportunity to get in and get out of the market in a short amount of time, usually yielding as much or more as what I earn from lessons in an entire week!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I prefer to play "GREAT" music - the exact genre doesn't matter!
While my formal education focused mainly on Western music through different time periods (e.g., Renaissance, Baroque, Classic, Romantic, etc.) I do ultimately prefer pop music of various styles from the mid-late 20th Century on up to today!
