I have taught many students about Music Theory, composition and the Saxophone, and have helped all of them reach new levels of fluidity on their instruments, gain deeper understanding of concepts, and develop more extensive knowledge of Theory, and how to apply it.

Instruments: Piano
I am a lover of music that has always enjoyed sharing it with others. I have been involved in musical activities all through since grade school. I graduated with a Master of Music Arts with a specialty in teaching from Texas Woman's University so I could better share my love of music. I have also been in one choir or another over the years. I sang with the Denton Community Chorus, Nairobi Concert Choir and had the privilege of performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Texas Woman's University Concert Choir. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been playing viola for almost 20 years and each day I grow more and more passionate for my instrument. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and began my musical studies on viola at the age 4. I graduated from Baylor University in 2013. While at Baylor University I was Principal of the Baylor Symphony and played with the Waco Symphony, Brazos Valley Symphony, and the San Angelo Symphony orchestras. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano was kind of forced upon me in undergrad and then I grew to love it. Now I feel naked when I'm not performing with the piano. It does everything!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As the son of immigrants I had 4 choices. Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer or family embarrassment. When I decided to major in music in college, you can guess which title I was pegged with by my family. I suppose it was gradual. It was something that was growing in me since middle school. When I found out you could actually STUDY it, I signed up. My memoirs will be entitled "Goodbye med school" .
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a degree in performance because I really wanted to master the art of delivering my story. The programs I attended also incorporated robust theory, research and piano so I wasn't missing anything
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That varies based on where I am in my life. At the time I'm writing this, the world is in disarray from a pandemic. I find great solace in the Blues. It helps to bring me healing and express profound emotions that words cannot express.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
That depends on if I'm prepping for a performance. If its performance prep, I tend to skew towards performance repertoire. If its normal practice time, its skewed towards exercises. There are specific skills I want to acquire and I work on acquiring those skills. The ratio of time tends to be consistent and I expand the time slot allotted based on the amount of time I have. If its 15 min for ear training per hour I increase it to 30 min if I have 2 hours and so on. I dont go ever go beyond 8 hrs. I heard Charlie Parker practiced 12 hours a day at one point. Tried that once and it was physically and psychologically painful
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The voice is a diva. If you dont show it love and care everyday, it will betray you. It's also not like any other acoustic or electric instrument. Your psychological and physical state play a major role in the sound you create
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I went to Whitney Houston Academy for my middle school years. Ms Karen Williams "encouraged" me to be in the choir. At first I thought it was not cool, then I grew to love it. There have been far too many to list, but Ms Williams was the first.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started singing when me and my siblings were toddlers. My parents love gospel and hymns so we started singing in the church and took off from there. That was at 7 years old
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I loved teaching music and connecting with people in China with no knowledge of Mandarin, earning the respect of Branford Marsalis, meeting people from around the world in Batumi, Georgia for the GLOMUS music festival, and being on the grammy ballot in 2017. We didn't get nominated, but the consideration was still cool!
When will I start to see results?
My professional advice? Anyone who offers you an exact timeline is not sincere. Run in the opposite direction. There are far too many variables to consider when developing a musician in any instrument. Some people are savants and some people have psychological work or injuries to work through. Age, diet, exposure, genetics, etc. effect how fast or slow you move. If you're a beginner, you might see a lot of progress in the beginning. But I have worked with beginners who advance rapidly in the beginning and then plateau and vice versa. Its just too hard to predict with current technology.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Journal, journal journal! What you can measure you can improve. Imagine being able to go back to June 13 2020 when your voice and playing were sounding amazing and synthesizing exactly what you did to get there. It is also psychologically stimulating to see how far you've come. We all have those songs that take MONTHS to master. Imagine seeing the slow(and sometimes not so steady) progression. It also helps your teacher assess how effective your practice is :)
