Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginner students I start with the basic for both piano and voice. For voice we start with breathing, pitch, and starting a healthy techinque and proper places to sing from. For piano I follow the Alfred's serious and begin with music theory as well. Once my students advance we begin with new solo repertoire and more advance theory and sight reading. The more advance the student become the more intense and difficult the material will become. Read More

Ever since 1990's, the decade I began teaching piano, I begin to understand that each student is unique, and learns music differently. As a result, the fun part comes trying to figuring out how to personalize lessons for each of my students. That means there are times when the available method books may not work out. But at the same time, the motivation and push is what will generally drive students to work hard. Read More

Students bring their enthusiasm and I bring my supporttogether, we learn to interpret and create the music. Read More

I also studied symphonic band, musical theater, and jazz throughout high school while learning improvisational skills as a church pianist.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

Music has been a long-time passion for me since I was a kid. In 2003, I was a 3rd grader in Carpenter Elementary School in Lake Orion learning about the orchestra, when one of the 5th grade students or one of my classmates brought his trumpet with him. I knew right then and there that playing trumpet would be my passion and sure enough I got it for Christmas along with a private trumpet teacher, who taught me to master the horn till I was in the 10-11 grade in Goodrich.
