Instruments: Piano Cello
Each student is different, therefore each strategy varies. However, my overall goal is to have the student enjoy learning how to play their instrument as well as help grow their passion and love for music. Before I begin teaching a student I always ask what they wish to achieve with their instrument. This way, I believe, is best to plan accordingly for each individual student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My favorite thing about teaching is getting to discover how others learn. The approach I use for one student will not always work for another. I think every person has a unique learning style and I love to develop new ways to teach concepts to my students. I work to encourage my students to be an active participant in setting and achieving goals in our work together, while maintaining a fun, positive atmosphere. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
Music is not made by the instrument be it voice, piano, trumpet or any other. Remember music is made by and comes through The Musician! I teach about how to be a musician. When students feel like musicians it fosters a greater sense of ownership and accomplishment bringing the joy needed to advance exponentially. As a students finds his or her internal "musician" we, teacher and student together, are moving along the same path making performance easy rather than a worrisome struggle. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Euphonium French Horn
Throughout my music teaching career, I have enjoyed watching students progress on their instruments in both proficiency and their love of playing. I enjoy watching their weekly improvement on both the solo and ensemble level and encourage them to perform often in a variety of settings to build their confidence in public performance whether that be as members of school bands and ensembles or in public recitals showcasing their progress to both parents and friends Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style specifically fits each individual students needs. Every student has different challenges that they face during their musical education. I also know that each student works at his or her own pace. I like to give praise and rewards to my students that work hard to accomplish a goal to help instill confidence and desire to continue along their creative journey. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
A student must be comfortable enough to take the risks that are necessary to grow as a musician. Sometimes those risks will result in what seems to be a failure. I try to reinforce the idea that it is not a failure because you tried, what can we use from that experience to get closer to what you were trying to accomplish next time. Anyone willing to put in the effort and put their talent on display for correction and review is very brave and I honor that bravery. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
No distractions! If you want to get the most out of your practice, you need to be serious when you practice. No messing around on your phone during "Chop breaks". Stay focused and encouraged to play better all of the time!
Crave progress! It is difficult to step back and analyze our own progress sometimes. Practicing over and over without ever realizing the effects it has on your sound and performance ability, can be mentally and physically draining. Be honest with yourself and ask, "Is this better than it was last week?" "Do my parents/friends/fans hear my progress?"
THE ANSWER IS YES!! Stay motivated, focused, and determined to be the best!!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Does your child have the physical capability to press the buttons/keys/pads?
If so, then they are ready!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
"Because it only had 3 buttons and that meant it was easy"
Little did I know, I was verrrry wrong. Since I have realized how difficult the trumpet is, I have learned to crave that difficulty. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than working so hard on developing a certain skill on the trumpet just to see it finally pay off in a performance.
In addition, trumpet is such a versatile instrument. You can play so many different genres of music and tailor your tone and sound and articulations to any genre or style and enjoy ALL of them!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
RANGE! Expanding ones range on the trumpet is vital to their mastery of the instrument yet it is incredibly difficult to be able to play very high AND very low within the same piece and be able to control the instrument and those notes every step of the way. In my experience, many trumpeters are EITHER incredible lower register players or incredible higher register players. It is very rare that I meet/play with a trumpeter who has mastered the highs and the lows because it is NOT easy. It takes serious discipline and knowledge of how the instrument works.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I majored in Music Business Management. I loved it. I love music and I want to be more involved in the industry as a businessman rather than a performer. I want to have more influence on the future of the industry and how it functions to support great music and its creators.
I am currently making the most out of my degree by helping artists connect with industry professionals such as booking agents/managers/publishers/label reps, etc...
I really enjoy the "behind the scenes" work of a business professional.
