Instruments: Piano Violin
I began teaching because to me, nothing is more beautiful than watching someone's love for music bloom in front of me, to allow someone to find a vessel through music. Therefor, it's important to me that each student goes at their own pace, and strive to tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. It's important to me that in each lesson we cover 3 important sections, theory, performance, and technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium Tuba Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my school studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the instruments and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Classical Guitar
For beginning students I use the Bastien System. For Adults, I use The Alfred Adult beginner for Piano Lessons. I try to adapt the method to the skill of the student, which incorporates my own system, based on years of teaching. I teach according to the student;s skill, and at their own pace. I sometimes use the Trinity College of Music, london, syllabus. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone
I have a variety of methods that I use to teach students. I have used many Hal Leonard's band and guitar books, I use a wide variety of materials so that the students can achieve their goals. There is always new material coming out and I will also write my own technical exercises if the student needs them. Beginning Classical Guitar by Hal Leonard is a specific example of one of the method books that I use for the Classical Method.I incorporate these methods on what the student wants to achieve.

Instruments: Trumpet
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Often, trumpet should start around age 10 (depending on development of each individual), but every student is different! I often offer a free trial to see if the student can even make a sound. If so, we can move on from there.
When will I start to see results?
The student will get out of it what they put in. Beginning students will see results immediately, but it will still be a slow process. Building good habits take time. Older students need time to grasp concepts, relearn different thought processes, and understand how my teaching philosophy works. Lessons are learned via imitation. They play with, understand how I sound, and then try to apply that to themselves. This process can vary very wildly depending on the students' imagination.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My professors at Appalachian State University, Dr James Stokes and Dr Rusty Smith, both had (and still do!) a huge impact on my music career. They're brilliance, focus, and determination were inspiring. However, they're willingness to connect with me, take the time to understand me, invest their time into me, and treating me with care really gave me the confidence to continue.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was at a concert as a young child where a trumpet player was on stage. I told my mom "I want to play that!" taking some inspiration from my brother who played tuba at the time. The story was told around family, and my grandfather bought me one for Christmas without any of my family knowing about it! Though they were upset at the time, they're quite happy with the results now.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recently, my performances on Royal Caribbean International Cruise Lines. Not only was this a big step on my personal career, but it was the acknowledgement that I am good enough to perform on a stage. Often, gigs are gained from recommendations from others, but this one was completely on my own. Earning #1 Music in Tampa Ports while I was onboard and constantly get call-backs from the music directors asking me to come back gave me a sense of being desired which was a great change.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many of my students were from North Carolina and were not available to transfer with me via online teachings. However, the one I still do teach is now performing with local community bands as well as getting spots in the local high school marching bands as a home-schooled 7th grader!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Take your time! You shouldn't be rushing through a practice session, as thay tends to lead to stress. Take breaks, take time, and understand what you're trying to get out of each session.
