Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My Teaching experience is I started out I was a music tutor in college back in 1994. I had two students 25 years ago. It was in their home. Back in 1999, my cliental increased up to 6 students but I went from house to house . That was rough.Back 2006, I taught in the home with my grandmother. I was also giving Piano lessons after school when I worked at Higher Learning Day care and I worked there for 6 years from 2002-2008. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I do my best to help each student to succeed in reaching their musical goal. I am trying to provide a professional studio environment free from distractions and conductive to learning and music-making. I teach students using a well-rounded approach that includes music theory , proper piano technique, piano repertoire , functional keyboard skills, sight reading skills and much more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
I teach both by rote and by reading. When it comes to music theory, notation and reading music, I am also methodical in wanting my students to fully understand what they're reading so that it becomes so natural to them, it's as natural as reading a newspaper or understanding a conversation. Once the foundation is laid, a musical conversation can be had with the sound of their instrument. At the end of the process, students will find their love of music enhanced now that they know what they are doing and are doing it on purpose. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have over 10 years of teaching experience with the last 7 years being full time. I started playing piano when I was 5 so I have over 22 years of playing experience. The number one thing I stress about learning to play the piano (except practice of course!) is that you need to be having fun at all times. Music is supposed to be fun so it’s my job to make sure my students are enjoying each lesson and each time they sit down at their piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe
I am passionate instructor who is fueled by seeing success in others. No other feeling is more fulfilling then seeing the growth of another human. I have been teaching private lessons in my own studio for about 8 years now. I've taught 7 marching bands and currently writing music for some with an emphasis in percussion. Currently pursuing a degree in Music Business at Northern Illinois University. I've participated in Drum Corp. tours such as Colts Drum & Bugle Corps ('13) and Phantom Regiment ('14-'16), and also marched 5 seasons of WGI with Cavaliers Indoor Percussion. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I have used many methods books for piano and flute. When I started teaching lessons, I lived in a military town. Since these students moved a lot, I would continue teaching out of the books they were currently using to keep they're progress consistent. I still have this philosophy unless a student is unhappy with their current method. When I start a beginning student, I like to use Alfred's Premier Course. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Keyboard
I enjoy teaching music, I enjoy of passion of putting music composition together and vocal training. My passion is for Drums, but i started playing bass at the age of 14, I also have been singing most of my life since I can remember. My brother- in law you to play drums in the late 60's through the early 80's for the group called the steeler which he taught me tp play drums. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
For me, it's less about styles and genres, and more about groove, and expression of the music! I'll play anything, as long as it's together with amazing musicians who can make the music come ALIVE, utilizing the wide a palette of sounds and scope of imagination as we can!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am currently on a mission to learn piano, guitar, bass, and drums to an intermediate level! My skills level on these instruments is still quite beginner, but I'm on the quest to being able to play all of them to a functional level. Why? Because I want to be the jam session KING!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Other than my great-grandmother, who was quite accomplished on a south Indian string instrument called the Veena, I am the only other musician in my family!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Gradually overtime, more and more fantastic musical moments have solidified my career path as a musician. Experiences such as going on tours at an young age, as well as my time in music school were amazingly exciting - and I am now just trying to pass on that joy that I have been lucky enough to feel for over 20 years now!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
(Australia) Higher School Certificate Nomination for excellence - "Encore" Concert (Sydney Opera House)
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For all instruments - developing a great sound, great sense of time and rhythm, is very difficult. Nothing is impossible though! Mastering anything just requires a plan, and the right amount of time.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I loosely use concepts for the "Effortless Mastery" Method, written by Kenny Werner.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I do about 90 mins of practise on my sound, and on basic technical facility (scales etc), and then a further 90 mins on something more musical - (pieces, transcriptions, etudes, or composing).
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance, Performance, Peformance! I love to perform.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
As an improvising musician - my dream piece is something I am yet to imagine I think!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Funny story - though the name for the Saxophone, was actually the word "Clarinet". So when I asked for a Clarinet, expecting to get a shiny, bendy, brass thing - I instead got a long, thin, black thing. So, from about 2004 - 2010 I was a clarinetist! Until I finally got around to purchasing my first saxophone in 2010, a beautiful 1939 Conn 10M.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
2019 pre-pandemic was a significant year for me. My original project, ARCING WIRES, a contemporary jazz/progressive rock band, toured across the globe, in the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Indonesia, and across 6 states in our home country of Australia.
In 2017, I also was a part of the Steve Barry Quartet, which was lucky enough to be billed as a opener for the fabulous Gerald Clayton Trio (piano - USA).
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
MANY!
Panamanian Piano virtuoso, Danilo Perez, was one of my more recently inspirational teachers. Learning from his vast experience across decades of performing at the very highest level was an incredible opportunity for me. Of course, I have to mention my first saxophone teacher, a gentleman in Sydney called Matt Keegan was also a huge influence on me as I was first starting to get serious in music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something psychology or physiology related! I am very interested in how the body adapts to playing an instrument, as well as the strategies and psychology of practice itself.
