Instruments: Piano Voice
All children are different and are progressing at their own pace.Most important for me is to see that they enjoy making music at any level. Another important thing for me is to remind my students to practice with a good posture and poise.This will ensure that they look as a performers and enables them to practice and perform for much longer periods of time. I teach my students to be creative during their lessons and home practice,this makes practicing fun and study of music enjoyable and rewarding. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I do not usually follow any method book as every student is different, has different background, goals and aspirations. I try to mix exercises/methods that I use in my practice with materials of accomplished pedagogues. I have my set of warm-ups that I use on saxophone, clarinet, and flute; I often find myself using flute method while playing the saxophone which only pushes my and my students abilities and makes them better musicians.

Instruments: Piano
I began playing piano at the age of 5. Over the years, I developed my skills further by my professional learning in Conservatory. I gained performance experience in the piano performance area by playing at such venues as a soloist and with acts such as an ensemble performer. Though I can teach many genres of music, her musical personal favorites are classical music which had a great influence on my style of playing. Read More

Music is something that gives me a sense of self-gratification, takes me to a whole new world, where everything is right. I've been teaching and making beautiful sound for 45 years. Music express emotions with no words, it is a language of love, love between you and deep inside yourself, it awakens something that you never imagined before, you'll find something that you never lost before, that is with you, deep inside you.

I have a M.A. degree in Music Therapy. I have worked with children who cant speak, but they can play music. Music bypasses many neural systems.

I run a non profit organization called "School Of Hip Hop PHX," where we use the 5 elements of music (Dance, spoken word, production, art, and knowledge to, improve the lives of community members.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin
For piano beginners I use the Faber book series. I prefer these books because it gives a mixture of theory and technique that I think is essential to learn at an early stage. For violin beginners I prefer to use the Suzuki Method books. These books are great because they get the student playing quickly, while still introducing the foundations of basic theory for reading music. Beginning guitar is a little more flexible depending on the students goals and the style they would like to learn. Read More

Practice is without a doubt the pathway to success, but not just any practice because that can lead to the development of bad habits that are hard to break. I give my students a variety of ways to approach their music studies, because, if they are taking lessons then they are more serious about learning to become musicians than your general music class students. That makes them special in my eyes because they are taking a risk. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I believe the hardest thing to master is being a complete musician. There are many technical elements that go into mastering our instruments, and it is a lifelong process. However, with the right information, the right attitude, a willingness to work hard and work intelligently, I believe success is only a matter of time. Mastering instrument takes a life long pursuit of working hard, asking questions, listening to music, and having fun. Well I have many accolades and many successes at a very young age, I don’t believe I’ve mastered my instrument at all. I still feel that I have lots and lots of room to grow. I hope that is an inspiration to any student who is interested in becoming a better musician. If you always remember that you are a musician first, and a trumpet player second, then I believe that you can become well I have many accolades in many successes and a very young age, I don’t believe I’ve mastered my instrument at all. I still feel that I have lots and lots of room to grow. I hope that is an inspiration to any student who is interested in becoming a better musician. If you always remember that you are a musician first, and a trumpet player second, then I believe that you can become the complete musician that you have always dreamed of being.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am a member of the Jackson Symphony in Jackson Tennessee. I started playing with this orchestra when I was 22 and I was the youngest brass player in the orchestra at the time. I was very lucky to have been given this opportunity. I also have been featured as soloist with collegiate ensembles and a high school-age youth orchestra. I was featured as a guest artist in April 2018 at the Tennessee Technological University School of Music at the end of their spring guest artist series. I’ve had a lot of success as a musician at a very young age and I feel very blessed and lucky.
When will I start to see results?
You can begin to see results immediately. Progress is very relative to the student because they may or may not progress as fast as another student for any number of reasons. This is not a bad thing. Development takes time, and we live in a culture where people want immediate results and instant success. Being a musician means we probably won’t have instant success every time we pick up our instruments to play. It means that over time, if a student does what his or her teacher says to do, then they will improve. I can promise you will see results, but for some students it may take longer.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose trumpet because my first teacher was an inspiration to me. I remember sitting in band one day and listening to him practice and I thought to myself I want to play like him. So he allowed me to switch from percussion to trumpet and I’ve not regretted it since. I also began listening to a lot of recordings of great trumpet players and orchestras and realized I wanted to be a classical trumpet player. I love being a musician and I hope I can inspire my students to be musicians, too.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly and softly in small segments. Don’t practice too much material in a single session. One example would be to use a stop watch and set a timer for five minutes and work slowly on a measure of music. Understand what needs work, why that would need work, and then practice slowly so you ingrain good habits. Don’t play things too fast because it can create bad mistakes and habits. Always strive for quality practice over quantity. An hour of fast, unfocused practice is a waste of time compared to ten minutes of highly focused practice.
