I create my own custom plans for each student. Different students have different needs and I format my lessons with that in mind. Keeping the student engaged while learning is the most important thing to me for lessons. My teaching pace is also based on the student and what he or she is capable of and comfortable with. I also make sure to help my students learn what they want to learn because some students may want to focus on performance while others might want to focus on music theory. Read More

I understand that as a teacher, my job is to not just teach the instrument or a song, but to inspire a deep, passionate love for music. The teachers that had the biggest impact on me and that I enjoyed the most were the ones who cared the most about my relationship to the music I was playing. Because of this, I make sure the student is always engaged in what they are playing and are enjoying it. Read More

For me, it's about building or finding moments. Finding out what is going to motivate you to learn that song, practice that chord, and try to instill the desire to show it off for next time. Once I find out where the student is at, wether they are learning their first chords or songs, or they have been trying for a while or just getting back to their old habit of picking up the instrument, the goal is to set the mark where one will wait eagerly for the next lesson, to show off their new found skill.

I began taking guitar lessons at the age of thirteen and continued for about two years before teaching myself the rest. My styes of playing range from folk-style fingerpicking (see video) to rock 'n roll, blues jazz, and Broadway. I began teaching private music lessons while in High School. My first guitar student went on to pursue a degree in Guitar Performance at Redlands University and is launching a career as a fulltime musician. Read More

I have been teaching as a side-gig and hobby for almost as long as I've been playing! It started with friends in the neighborhood approaching me for advice on how to get started playing guitar. In my years in the Baltimore/DC area, I took private students for extra income outside of my dayjob. Now in New Orleans after years of grinding as a performing musician, I've increased my roster of students as a rewarding and less stressful way to have a music centered career, primarily with guitar and drums.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important things to remember about practicing are consistency and joy. I treat my instruments like pets, in that they are a part of my life every day and I love them, and the more attention I give them the more they will love me in return. I focus on starting a practice session with something I enjoy and am motivated to learn and then zero in on the weak points of the piece and from that decide what mechanical things I need to practice, like scales or bowing or picking exercise or drum rudiments. My rule of thumb is that 10 min per day of practice means you are not getting worse, and 30 min or more is where you start improving. I also give myself the freedom to jump between different pieces of music as I get tired of one. It's important to enjoy the process of practicing and improving.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on what results you are looking for, and I would say about two weeks of practicing 30 minutes a day is when you will start to see the beginning results. There are good videos on youtube showing the progress you make with consistent practice but ideally, the process will be enjoyable enough that you will understand how each day and each minute of practicing is causing you to improve. At this point, I see results about 10 minutes after I dedicate myself to practicing a single specific thing. Difficult pieces take about two weeks of consistent practice to play well, and it is very rare that you hit the ceiling of how well you can play something. Jaco Pastorius, a famous electric bassist, said that it took him 9 years to learn how to play Donna Lee, a jazz standard that he is very well known for now
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Basically, if the child is interested in lessons they are ready to start lessons. I think we often make the mistake of expecting children to be very disciplined along the lines we want them to be, instead of letting their natural curiosity and playfulness lead their musical journey. I try not to be too hard on kids and make sure we are setting goals they actually want to complete. I was forced to play for many years and very nearly stopped because of it. If a child has a natural affinity for an instrument, I think they can always benefit from instruction, and the stronger their desire to play is, the more progress they will make.

my 7yr old daughter has expressed interest in learning how to play the piano. Do you offer an introductory lesson to see if this is a good fit? Thank you
