Instruments: Piano Voice Music
"I believe that good singing should involve free, released, and healthy vocal production. I always meet my students where they are at in their musical journey. My favorite part about singing is that the learning is NEVER over. This helps new learners feel they aren't alone and helps professionals continue to delve deeper into their technique and artistry. Whatever your goals may be, I am here to help you achieve them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For students who already have the groundwork of the instrument, I typically move forward with whatever they are interested in learning and what would make them feel more accomplished. For beginner students, I typically start them out in the Fast Track Guitar 1 book just to get them comfortable with the instrument, proper technique, basic music theory, etc. Additionally, I always implement scales into the lessons, no matter the age or skill level.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I would always follow each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. For children, I would also offer a reward such as candy to boost their excitement and passion for learning piano. When it comes to piano theory, I would reward them with a sticker on their homework page that is completed on time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My philosophy is creating a solid musical foundation for students to deepen their understanding of singing and playing the piano. I always try my best to convey the basic musical knowledge to students, helping students develop their ability to recognize, read, listen, response, notate, understand rhythmic patterns and experiences in different musical cultures. Some of the main areas which students would have an opportunity to learn in general music class are Rhythm, Pitch, Texture/Harmony, and Form. Read More

Blake has performed as part of the Grammy Jazz Band, Jazz Band of America, Next Generation Jazz Orchestra, Iowa All-state Jazz Band, Iowa All-state Band, Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra, The Symphony of Northern Arkansas and the Brubeck Jazz Colony. Blake recently graduated with his masters in trombone performance from the University of Arkansas where he served as a teaching assistant to the trombone studio. While in Arkansas, Blake held the position of 2nd trombone in the Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I prefer to instruct out of the James Bastien method books for the student's main lesson assignments. However, I also encourage students to bring and play out of books that inspire and motivate them individually. This keeps lessons lighthearted and keeps the student interested in the next lesson in my experience. I set realistic weekly and monthly goals for my students so I'm able to gauge how the student has performed, as well as how they should be instructed going forward. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
For beginning students on brass instruments, we will send time getting the student to be comfortable holding and playing the instrument with a good, air driven sound. Once the student is able to reliably play their first notes in a rhythmic fashion, we can begin working on introducing music notation into the equation. Books I suggest will generally be books more specialized for each individual instrument, rather than method books used in band classrooms. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. Get on a schedule. The connection between mind and body is an amazing thing. Establishing a regular routine and practice time helps to engage both mind and body within practice, thereby facilitating more efficient development of the mental and physical skills needed to become a better musician.
2. Tune in to the music and out of the media. Given enough time/exposure, even the most motivated minds will succumb to the temptations of readily available distractions. So practice in a room separate from devices that provide distraction. Put the phone on silent and in a different room. Turn off any screens that cannot be easily removed from the room.
3. Start small. Practice for meaningful improvement in a narrow scope. If you try to cover too much ground in a single practice session you will not be able to see much of anything in the way of improvement. Narrowing the scope of a practice session allows for focus and improvement in small areas that when linked together across multiple practice sessions will yield meaningful improvement over a larger scope.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Control is the most difficult thing to master on the trumpet. It is easy to play loud and fast with an edgy sound. It is easy to play soft and slow with a breathy sound. It takes consistent time and effort to develop the control necessary for consistent tone across every style of music. It takes even more time and effort beyond that to build up the control necessary to modify your sound to play with tone appropriate to each unique style of music. There is a fine line within the tonal range of the trumpet wherein the sound is distinctly that of the trumpet yet does not push the sound beyond the range of pleasant tone.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music to play is jazz. While jazz can have the connotation of being a technically "loose" style of music, an understanding of classical music theory is enormously beneficial to playing jazz. The seeming freedom heard in jazz music is based on the foundation of classical music. As such, jazz is a unique blending of emotion, knowledge, and technical ability that, to me, represents the best parts of music performance rolled up into a single style. Also, the sheer breadth of jazz as a genre of music allows for significant variance in styling and sound while under the same genre umbrella.
