Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
For more advanced students, I like to lean towards assigning some transcriptions to learn, and hand-picking what artists' playing will benefit my students the most. For all students, I also enjoy diving into some music theory and explaining why things work and why things in music make sense! Most of all, I want to make sure my students are engaged, having a good time, and are given enough material to work with in and out of lesson time to make sure that they have the tools to be the best musician they can!

Instruments: Piano
I'm a kind and nurturing teacher who has been playing the piano for thirty years. I work with students of all ages and ability levels, including students who are neurodivergent, students with physical disabilities, and students who don't speak English. Music is a universal language that everybody can understand if they have a really great teacher. My favorite teaching moments are when the lightbulb turns on and my student has their "aha!" understanding of a new concept. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone
For children my teaching style is very reward based, I love stickers so always give them one once they've mastered their song for the week and such. Lots of encouragement and positive feedback and working through the difficult things in a positive manner. For adults I will teach based on you! If you are really looking for a fun hobby with the music we will be more laid back and relaxed with it and can bounce around and learn all sorts of different things! Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
I am a big fan of planned practicing and it is especially important with younger students. I find that when students follow my exact practice instructions they play their pieces successfully! And nothing is more rewarding as a teacher than to see the end results of a student's hard work and to see them develop a love for music throughout the journey! I always set realistic goals so practicing never feels tedious or overwhelming. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have had the privilege of teaching piano, composition, music theory, and improvisation to students of all ages for more than nine years. I have also taught chess at schools and programs throughout the U.S. I have organized educational initiatives for prestigious arts institutions including National Sawdust, Red Bull Arts NY and Abrons Art Center NY. Students I have taught range from ages 4-80, and include a wide range of professions and personalities, including visual artists, chefs, atomic physicists, families, teachers, classrooms of up to 20 kids, as well many other musicians.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I start of my lessons by asking how much the student practiced for the week. Then I ask them if there was anything that was confusing for them so we can work on that first. I let the student pick what they want to start with first and then I will pick the next exercise. I finish with giving them a homework assignment and making sure they understand what to practice for next week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Each student learns at their own pace. Though I do have a consistent method for teaching, I first like to see what a student's level of playing and understanding of music is before we move forward so I can see where the student needs improvement. Although we will work on fundamentals, I work with students so that my lessons can be fun, educational, inspiring, and suited for each student's needs. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is about progress, not perfection. I aspire to be the best at my craft and so concerning myself with perfection is not half as effective as reducing my chance of imperfection when I perform. I have learned to minimize distractions and be intentional on what I expect to accomplish. If you’re new, take your time and break sessions up into bite size pieces, if you're a bit more seasoned, approach it very much the same way as you ad tools like reading tablature and understanding theory enough to piece concepts together. Above all, have fun.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This a great question. Exposure has a great deal to do with it. As exploration is encouraged, little things like matching pitch when singing, ability to keep time clapping and moving freely to the beat, even something as silly as showing promise with air guitar are good signs that passion for music is there. A love for music gets inside you; you’ll know when the time is right.
When will I start to see results?
Results may vary. We hear that all the time, but in this case it is very true. When exploration and encouragement are cornerstones, then a desire to improve takes over. Practice becomes something to look forward to. In order to achieve desired results work is required. When students put in the work and find joy in the process, results will come.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I am a product of a musical family, one in which my grandfather had mastered any number of woodwind instruments. He would practice in the bathroom where he said the acoustics were at their best as I sat by the door loving every note that began to resonate in my very being. From the moment I first heard him to the day he passed, it was just the encouraging connection I needed to never give up striving to improve on this gift.
I have studied, practiced, and performed since the age of eight. First the accordion, then the baritone horn through high school, the tenor and tympani drums in the Navy, and guitar through much of that same time. It all came fairly easy to me though I must attribute a great deal of my early growth to a handful of wonderful musicians along the way. In my mid-twenties I met my lifelong musical mentor and friend. He is currently the director of the Digital Arts Recording Academy at my alma mater. His influence not only opened my eyes to a teaching style that brought to life everything you ever wanted to know about music on one sheet of paper (theory that is), he also is the finest guitar player and Christ like man I have ever had the privilege to know. Though I remain a true fan to many genres, he opened up a door that has brought with it the joy of leading and participating in worship for the last twenty-five years. This exposure for me also opened up a whole new door teaching guitar, bass, and music fundamentals.
