Instruments: Piano
I typically start with the Piano Adventures series with my beginner students who are children. I also introduce songs they are familiar with alongside seasonal or festival music to make the lessons more engaging and boost their interest in learning. For intermediate students, I add materials such as exercises from Hanon or Czerny to develop stronger technique. I pair these with music by various composers so that, while building the foundation of piano playing, my students explore different styles of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have developed a method for guitar students of all ages to quickly learn chords and scales so that they can not only learn the chord progression to songs, they can also find the correct scale to "solo" and improvise over them. Once the chord structure and scale are learned I accompany the student, playing along with them so that they can practice playing with another musician and soloing. I have also developed a full curriculum for teaching bass guitar to all ages and skill levels. Read More

For humor, creativity, and fun are a big part of how I teach. At the same time I am serious about being disciplined in regular practice. I try to find out what my students are passionate about and use that as motivation. One thing I do compared to my past teachers is use technology. Frankly this technology did not exist when I was young! I often "sample" musical phrases and have them play on a loop. Read More

I actually began teaching under my teacher when I was about 14 years of age. Since that time I've worked with young and old and done my best to give them the joys of music that everyone should have at some point. I've been very fortunate to have had a good number of students who have enjoyed great success with music as a profession. I try to impart my wisdom and experience to assist students in achieving their musical goals, whatever they may be. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a very warm and encouraging person, and I can see how hard people try, even if they don't sound their best yet. I have a growth mindset, which means that you don't have to be born with a natural ability to do this. Anyone can learn if they have a great teacher. I give a lot positive reinforcement, and I expect mistakes. Students don't take lessons if they already know how to play! Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet Double Bass Euphonium
I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week. You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
As a highschooler I was very motivated to help the young musicians of the Middle School. I would dedicate a period of my day to running sectionals and teaching students in the Middle and High School. Though I was never paid for this work, as I was just fine doing it for free, I learned much about effective and ineffective ways of communication in teaching. During college I would help the youth prep school jazz band by being a behavior role model, playing in the section, and running sectionals. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To practice effectively, don’t continue to run what you are good at! Pick apart what you struggle with and wok on that! That is the most effective way to use your time when practicing and will help you improve rapidly.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music is very much in my family. My mother used to sing all the time when I was young and played flute and piano. My father played trumpet for the us Air Force. My brother and sister both love music and have played an instrument or sung. The most notable member of my family is my great uncle who is the lead saxophonist in room full of blues.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren’t a musician, I would be an aerospace engineer. I have always been interested in doing things I first thought impossible, and both music and engineering fit that criteria for me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Originally I was 100% classical all the time. Very quickly, I found an intense love for musical theater and ever since then, I started to love jazz more and more. This is why I encourage students to expand their horizons. You never know what music you’ll like until you try!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is beginning to show interest to start, then it may be time! The most important part of practicing, performing, and rehearsing is motivation. If your child is not interested in music or the arts, it may not be time yet. With this in mind, it is always worth it to bring a child in if they are remotely interested. Learning to sing or an instrument is truly one of the most rewarding parts of the musical process, and they will thank you for introducing them.
When will I start to see results?
After the first one or two lessons, I can guarantee improvement. With any other student I have taught, as long as we work on technique and continue on that path, improvement happens incredibly quickly.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had 2 teachers that inspired me to go into music. One was my high school band teacher. He always believed his students could succeed or do better no matter their age. In college, when music began to become more of a chore, my choir instructor made it fun again. I learned so much in that course and it inspired me to help others in the same way.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose voice, piano, and saxophone to be equal primaries. Although I can not do all of them at the same time, singing is the instrument that makes me happy and feel accomplished. I chose saxophone partially because of my uncle (of room full of blues), and it was the "family legacy". Finally, I got dragged into Piano during college. It is required that all music majors of any capacity play some piano, and I became drawn to it through that experience because of its endless compatibility with expressionism.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my temporary students was cast in a well known show. One of my students that I am most proud of just became more comfortable with singing, and that to me is a big deal. Finally, a student I’m currently teaching is trying out for the voice in a few weeks!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have my AFA (Associate in fine arts). I chose this degree as a stepping stone to my Bachelors. I will obtain my Bachelors with in the next year. I am double majoring in Musical Performance and Education with a double minor in theory and composition. Throughout my educational career, I found most of these majors have overlapping credits, etc. I chose to become a well-rounded musician by taking every opportunity and learning everything I can to become the best I can be.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Hal Leonard for beginning students only. After intermediate, I like to pick pieces and work with my students on individual pieces as to give more freedom of choice in what they play.
