Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar
I started teaching two years ago at a private lesson studio in Denver called My Music Skool. My main focus was on piano and saxophone. Now I teach privately as a freelance musician. Two points I emphasize when teaching are practicing at least once a day no matter how long you play and learning what inspires you. There will always be some sort of theory I sneak in whether it's learning scales or building technical skills that will build confidence and ability, but if these devices aren't being applied to the type of music that inspires the student, then learning music becomes discouraging instead of fun.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium
Getting to know my students is what ultimately shapes my teaching style. I keep a positive attitude and use specific feedback as motivation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching since 1980. I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Colorado in the 80s. I am a member of National Music Teachers Association, Colorado State Music Teachers Association and Foothills Music Teachers Association. I have taught both at the private and public school levels and teach students beginning at age 5 through adult level. I have sung with Charlotte Opera, Jacksonville Opera and the Lakewood Chorale as soprano soloist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Organ
Aside from vocal music, I also played in the wind ensemble on trumpet and had my own funk outfit outside of classes to fullfill my own creative direction. After graduating in the Winter of '11 I moved to Colorado to find a better audience for the funk, jazz and fusion music that I have personally gravitated towards. I've played most of the major venues in Denver, Boulder and the Front Range opening for giants like Victor Wooten and John Medeski, and currently am pursuing my Masters this upcoming Fall for Jazz Composition.

Instruments: Piano
I like to first assess what is the primary goal of the student and progress from there. Teaching methods that are too strict or too generic can often leave a lasting impression on a student (and not a good one!) Thus, I attempt to make all students feel comfortable and secure - with an understanding that mistakes are necessary to progress forward. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Banjo Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Naturally, my method will adapt to each student's needs. This will depend firstly on what style of music we are working to develop. Next, I will base my approach on the students level of abilities. There are a number of things to consider, such as technique, aural capacity, intuitive understanding, and basic theoretical knowledge, as well as each student's particular personality traits and best method of receiving information. I have a large repertoire of pedagogical literature and performance pieces. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practicing can be accomplished by being consistent. By simple practicing everyday things fall into place before we notice. Even if you practice 15 mins a day you're working things out. Just like with exercising playing an instrument is very similar. Golfers go to the driving range to practice their swing. The more they do it the more things fall into place and the swing gets more consistent and more accurate. A musician practices wide range of things in order to reach a high level of command on their instrument. The more you stay consistent with something, even if its short periods of time daily, cumulatively we continue to grow and become better!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My personal belief is a student is ready to learn music and start lessons as soon as they want. I started playing trumpet at the age of 6. My brother was a huge influence and showed me how to play. Once I started I couldn't put it down. If your child is curious at all about playing and instrument or singing or doing anything musical, get them started in lessons right away. It gives them positive 1 on 1 instruction to help them understand the process of learning and instrument and can easily progress faster with 1 on 1 instruction.
When will I start to see results?
The musical process is always in progress. It never stops. I've been playing for over 18 years now and I'm still learning. Results depend on consistent practicing as I mentioned before. My over all observation on results are they vary. Some results you'll see right away and others may take significant time to notice. It's always best to keep in mind there are "levels" of results. Concepts you practice may be really hard and only see a small result of your effort. That's OK! You're still getting a positive result. No matter how small or how big... any positive result equals progress.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my private teachers inspired me to continue with music. They gave me all the tools necessary to practice effectively, understand the level of playing I needed to get to in order to work as a professional. One specific teaching I spent over 6 years with worked very hard with me and worked through thousands of practice material and benefited greatly by practicing EVERYTHING. If it wasn't for his background and great teaching structure, I would not be where I am today in my own ability to teach and play.
