I believe I am a friendly guy at heart, so I tend to be friendly with the students. There are times where I have to tell them, for example, "You haven't been practicing.". But I try my best to do that in love while encouraging them when I see even the smallest improvement. I feel as though the key is to play as much as possible. That can be hard to do when you feel like you don't know how to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Recorder Music
I have a full music lab, an extensive library of music and music reference materials and up to date postings on local free or low cost musical events While I tend to emphasize classical music and technique, we will also cover a wide range of music in various meters and modalities: classical, popular and world music in solos and duets. Supplementary books are available: holiday, religious, popular, classical, music from specific times, places, composers, movies... or whatever the student wishes, when they are ready. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching sporadicaly since the age of 22, from both my home as well as studio locations. I worked at La Musique seven years ago, initially hired as a sub, and then hired on a more steady basis, as many students and parents were requesting me. They enjoyed my relaxed style and great sense of humor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching private lessons during my summers off from college, just a few students at a time. Since beginning my teaching career, my focus has shifted slightly to group piano classes, while still teaching privately after school. I have been a student of private instruction since the age of three, and my experiences in my private lessons have shaped the way I structure my own lessons for students. I firmly believe that my students need to not only study solo repertoire, but also that they spend some time every week focusing on technical exercises to solidify their musical foundation. 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.
