Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching for over ten years and received private instruction myself growing up. Teaching music I'd an important part of my life. Learning music has the power to form many connections in the brain that can increase academic performance in school as well as develop a sense of expressivity. This is a concept I have kept constantly in mind throughout my teaching career. In addition to teaching, I have performed in both solo recitals and with ensembles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar
I first started teaching kids privately about 4 years ago in their home and I started off with just basic stuff like note reading and pop music but as time passed by I came up with a teaching method that I am pretty confident in. I also worked at a tutoring center teaching guitar and piano to the kids focusing on more rock styles of playing. So my students were learning music from their favorite bands and what they wanted to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I encourage progress over awards. It is vital that the singer be able to rely on their fundamental and progress at their own pace to be able to build healthy habits that will last for a lifetime of singing. I try to understand the goals and desires for all students to be able to help them reach that goal in a healthy progression. I am very challenging but singing if supposed to always be fun as well or there is no use in doing it every day. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums
Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student develop the same passion for music that I have. It is very important to me that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting goals at each lesson, by a deadline, etc. Acknowledging accomplisments helps fuel a students desire to progress and makes them eager to learn more. Finding what inspires the student is the best possible way to tailor each lesson to their wants and needs. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing can be a real drag. I myself, have moments or days where I do not feel I want to even look at my instruments. It takes a lot of self determination, motivation, and discipline to play an instrument or sing well. To this I say, make it fun. First, you should choose a piece of music you are motivated to learn and really enjoy playing. Second, repetition is key. I use between 5-10 objects and play the same passages that I am struggling with over and over moving the objects when I play the passage correctly. It makes repetition practice like a game. Third, you should listen to someone performing the piece you want to play, then play it for your self while recording it. Listen to your recording and think about how you want to play the piece. This can be very enlightening and motivating.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any age child can start, but the parent must be willing to work with the child depending upon the age to assist their focus on the task. Obviously, the younger the child is, the more challenging it will be for them to focus for longer periods of time. Nothing is impossible with parental support. I personally prefer my students to have the ability to read. This helps them to read notes on a page, and usually by this time the child also has a little more maturity to deal with a one-on-one lesson.
When will I start to see results?
This depends on the student and their interest. If a student takes what they learned in the lesson and practices at home then results will be immediate. If the student has trouble practicing at home, results my take longer to notice.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have worked with the Alfred series for piano. I find them leveled really well and they also include a bit of music theory which really develops music understanding.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first always start with warm-ups. I believe warm-ups really are the building blocks of technique which is vital to learning piano, voice or any instrument under the sun.
Next we look at the level or etude book if we are working with piano or instruments. These songs are short and have a mini lesson/technique hidden in them. These further build the students' ability to play more difficult pieces later.
Last, I always wish that the student choose a piece of music that they are passionate about. This takes all the previous things we have worked on and uses them more authentically. They get a chance to see all their hard work on technique combined to produce something that they are truly interested in.
