Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Fiddle
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. For fiddling, I gauge the students' strengths and develop some exercises that will enhance their sound and overall technique. Then, we choose tunes that are interesting to the student and work through them either one or a few at a time, depending on what is a comfortable work load and also a comfortable challenge. Read More

My teaching philosophy is that students blossom at their own pace. Some concepts might be more difficult for some to grasp than others. Students may excel in some areas and struggle in others. I teach sustainable and kind methods of practice and learning. I believe that a teachers true job is to teach a student how to practice. I encourage short and long term goal-setting. I believe that what keeps any musician coming back to the woodshed is enthusiasm. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music ! Therefore its important that each student progress at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for each student. Acknowledging accomplishments help fuel a students desire to progress. I tailor lessons to the students level as well as there interest in music. Many of my students have gone on to become professionals or involved in their church, school or community music programs.

At the beginning of my experience with each student, I assess what the goals are for each student/their family, in the musical learning process. I base my teaching on that, within the framework of standard music teaching practices. Throughout the process of the student's learning, I periodically assess, not only the student's progress, but also the student's satisfaction with their learning process. As the need arises, I will make modifications or changes to the teaching, which better suit the student. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Performing at prestigious concert venues like Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, World Arena, Pepsi Center, and touring to almost every continent on the earth! I'm also proud that I've worked on my craft to the point where other musicians consider me "A" level player here in Nashville by other touring musicians, producers, and vocalist. I've released 3 jazz albums with original compositions and jazz standards. I am also proud that I was able to serve my country with the USAF Academy Band and having the opportunity to perform all over the USA with them.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had several students win awards and scholarships for their performance skills they've developed by studying with me. Many of my students were playing and doing things that I was learning at Berklee College of Music when I was 24 and 4th year as a performance major at Berklee College of Music. Many of my students are traveling all over the world touring, performing in big cities, and working in recording studios in Nashville, Boston, NY, and LA. Many of my students also auditioned and made "ALL STATE" Ensembles.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the piano is playing the RH and LH playing completely different parts at the same time. To be able to do this students must practice very slowly with a metronome, counting out loud, and practice hands separate. You practice this very very slowly, and increasing the speed little by little until you can get the music to flow. The hard part about this is that it's not all that much fun to do this type of work, but it's necessary to be able to play the piece up to tempo, and for the music to "flow" naturally with no hesitations or stops.
Another hard thing to master is rhythm. Rhythm is the 1st thing people notice about someones playing. I work very hard in making sure the rhythms are correct, and the students play with a steady tempo without speeding up or slowing down.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonards "Piano Adventures" by Faber & Faber for students age 7 and up, "Piano Prep" by Alfred for students age 5-6, "Piano Literature" by Bastien&Bastien for intermediate to advanced students. I like them because they are evenly paced, fun, and the piano accompaniments are fun, and they teach a variety of styles. I've been using these methods for over 20 years, and student progress through them, and develop into great players. "Piano Adventures" have 5 levels of lesson books, 2 levels of "Adult Piano Adventures". Then I supplement the books with songs that the students want to learn to play.
