Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I am an energetic lover of music. I love working with students and directing bands and choirs. I graduated from Hampton University in 2003 with Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance and have been teaching students the wonder of piano even before I graduated. I perform as a accompanist for all types of music, sing at events, and am the Director of Music at Reynolds Chapel Baptist Church as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
I believe my role as a teacher is to help students improve their musical abilities in a holistic manner. This means in addition to talking about technique, we will discuss theory and history related to the instrument and repertoire (depending on level of the student) as well as healthy and productive practice habits. I will help students to set realistic weekly goals so each student is improving consistently and feeling satisfied with his/her accomplishments each week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon Keyboard Djembe
For beginning students, I start with the Essential Elements book. If the student has already taken lessons or is in their school band/orchestra, I encourage moving onto the Rubank Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced method books depending on ability. Once a student has proven that they are able to handle it, I will start on solo repertoire. Particularly for college-bound musicians who wish to major in music, the majority of their lessons will be based on preparing solo literature for All District or college auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano
When working with younger students, my approach is twofold. First, I like to work with Alfred's Basic Series to establish a solid goundwork for reading music and mastering technique. Second, I like to cater the lessons to the student's particular interest, whether preparing solo pieces, practicing theory through ear training and sight reading, or writing compositions. For adults, I like working together to determine the student's goals to keep music-making challenging and engaging. Read More

I am an energetic, fun-loving instructor with an excellent musical intuition and a passion for motivating students to appreciate the many extra-musical perspectives that music brings to the table. I hold the notion that music can enhance countless other parts of your life, and can lead to a better understanding of the world and people around us. I am also a firm believer in technology as a tool to enhance music, and incorporate it into my work with notation software and performative technology (HCI). Read More

My teaching experience started when I was in high school. Being a son of two teachers I was compelled to become a tutor. I was my first student. Teaching myself how to play the piano and gutiar. My father taught me methods of how to learn and thats what I use to teach. I gained more experience helping people write essays and do home work. Over the summer I worked with children in summer camps..working with children with autism . in college I became a tutor for the English department. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The ability to practice affectively takes time.
For the beginning student it may, at times, feel tedious.
My job it to break the materials apart into workable pieces for the beginning student.
This means creating reasonable practice assignments based on how a student is accessed.
For a beginning student I might expect 15 to 25 minutes 5 days a week.
In a few weeks this should give us some idea how students use their practice time and how quickly they might progress.
The riddle to solve is how to keep it interesting and fun for a student without short changing their true ability or musical aptitude.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
At times you don't know. Of course if a child expresses interest or excitement over some musical activity or event it might be obvious that it's time. However, for many families it is believed that music should be a part of a child's education curriculum and music will be approached as any other aspect of their academic development takes place. In this case, when the study of music becomes a non-negotiable part of a child's education you can only hope you find a teacher who can make it fun while at the same time not compromising on the actual study of music.
When will I start to see results?
If all goes well you should see results in the first few moments. Learning to play the piano and the language of music is like many other things. Learning is cumulative. As soon as a beginning student understands the layout of the keyboard, the names of the keys, how the musical staves work as well as simple rudimentary rhythm notation they are able to play simple tunes as well as understand what they are doing.
Also, like many other activities that require effort and an investment in time, music is one of those things where you get out of it what you put into it.
Once a beginning student is able to play a familiar tune they become motivated to spend more time at it, they discover they are better able to focus and develop the discipline necessary at a rate that may surprise everyone. The student included.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a number of inspirational teachers.
When I went to my first teacher I already had a good understanding of the language of music .. the notation etc. and was able to play intermediate pieces.
When I told her I wanted to play Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, which I was not at all ready to play, she said "Let's see what we need to do to get there.".
That was the beginning of an entire education in technique
Once I started college I had a number of other wonderful teachers both for piano as well as in theory, counterpoint and composition.
It was in college that I learned that most good teachers have a lot to offer a motivated student. There is a point where it is up to the student to glean as much as they are able to that particular teacher. And I was hungry enough to learn a lot.
