Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I began teaching as early as 2003, while in high school on clarinet. I continued to teach during college as a voice coach, and have been teaching piano, music theory and music composition to this date. I have worked with both children and adults, in classrooms and one on one. One of the things that distinguishes me from other teachers is how I tailor my program for each student, because everyone learns differently and has different strengths and talents. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Conga Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with CAGED System. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance looking into different genres such as RnB, Blues, Rock, Pop, Jazz. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. 5 minutes of warm up, 25 of theory, 20 of repertoire and 5 of talking about the next class.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
For others, this may mean complimenting technical training with music games or physical exercises, during which the student is able to learn valuable concepts away from the instrument. By taking the time to build a personal rapport with my students, I aim to not only impart technical skills, but also give them the tools to foster their own creativity, and build confidence that will have a positive impact on other areas of life.

Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano for more than 25 years and my students have been prize winners in local competitions and festivals as performers and composers. Former students have gone on to attend universities such as Cornell, Columbia, Brown and other well known colleges. I am an experienced church organist and accompanist for vocal and instrumental soloists as well as choirs. I am an experienced chamber musician and am the founder and pianist of the Papillons Piano Trio which performs locally. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I am a musician that plays by ear but I know some theory as well so I try to find a happy medium when it comes to the needs of each student. So understanding each student's gift is paramount in guiding them through certain fundamentals. My philosophy has been to not tamper with the raw talent but instead, grow it. Though unorthodox, I found that tapping into the soul of passion, the student will feel a greater sense of freedom and appreciation for the craft. Read More
Instruments: Voice Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Being creative under time management is one thing artist sometimes struggle on. Depending on the skill development of the artist, timelines vary upon completion of projects. Times may vary from two days to two weeks, again also may depend on the artist and they type of project being worked on.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have many accomplishments that I have achieved, but the ones that stick out the most are performing at the Miss Black Ohio Pageant, also being nominated and performing at the 2018 Poze Productions XMAs. Next to those accomplishments if would be winning 2019 Recording Label Of The Year for GlobalFamily Productions
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Greedy Reem was the first breakout artist from Juan Rhymez & One Mic Empowerment. He has competed in competitions where he was placed #1 and labeled 2019 Artist Of The Year. Recklezz Zay, as known as GoGetEm soon followed after with alliances from Brothers By Loyalty and LILBRONEM Ent. Current rising artist from the label are now JIM BEAN, SPAZZOUT, DELL2SOLID, Jondoe Montanaa, RYNWillsavage and many more.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instruments are my own voice, microphone, and logic pro X software. Beside the usual pen/pencil and a pad to jot down my lyrics, or I may used a app on my phone to capture my thoughts if none are of available.
When will I start to see results?
With continued practice and effort, results could almost be instant, but advancement and quality very much depends on the progression of the artist and what they are looking to achieve.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My music industry peers happen to be prior hip hop legends that I still to this very listen to. I grew up listening to 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Ludacris, Scarface, Master P, and Jay-Z. Each of these artist have done well for themselves and help bring along and produce other outstanding talent. From their success and failures I have grasp the concept of being a musical producer while maintaining an artist career of my own. As well as I record their music, I also educate them on Business Management of their careers. Most artist just want to rap, and let someone else do the footwork, I show have to be a independent artist and be your own manager.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A desired passion is something that sometimes goes unnoticed until it hits you in the face. Most times a "star" is born at first glimpse, while others make take a little bit more time to develop.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My motto is "Practice makes for Perfection when Perfection is Practiced." Consistency is key and effort is everything; practicing is, and should be a everyday routine. Without it, there can be no progress in progression.
