To me, it is important that I meet each student exactly where they are at. Each student is unique and no two paths will be the same, so my instruction varies from student to student. Typically with the younger students, I do like to incorporate a lot of games, challenges, and rewards to help them find their motivation. For my older students, I encourage them by setting realistic goals and acknowledging their accomplishments, no matter how small. Read More

I've been a pianist at several churches in the past 25 years and teaching private lessons to many students of all ages( pre school to adult) and all levels. I taught at Music and Art and I've been teaching piano lesson at Schaumburg park district. Read More

Most important however is that a deepening in the understanding of music should activate a deeper love of music. TO PARENTS: please understand that my goal is to help train your child to be able to see the world through an artistic lens. This is not too lofty a goal, it just takes a lot of patience and a respect for the child's personal intellect. Music great for its own sake, sure; but it is a greater prize that a child should learn how to see life through a spiritually rich perspective. Read More

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

I require my students to put in the work to make these lessons a worthwhile investment, but I think the most important thing is to retain the joy of taking piano lessons. I don't want practice to feel forced, however I do think there is a certain amount of will power that goes along with learning a skill. Therefore, I require students to do a time minimum of practice appropriate for the age and skill level. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normally I practice anywhere from 4-6 hours per day, depending on the day. Prior to practicing I do a few stretches to help relax my entire body. Then I look over the music before even touching my instrument and count the rhythms of each voice aloud. Then I sing the voices in my head or aloud. After that I take a note of how I expect the phrasing of the passage to be and identify areas where the technique might be difficult. Then I begin working out fingerings for each measure and practice it very slowly to train my muscle memory for the passage. Then I turn on the metronome and begin working with it to ensure that I am playing everything rhythmically accurate. Once all that is done for the entire piece I begin working sections of the piece slowly and with the metronome until it's committed to memory. Then I play the piece slowly without the metronome and speed it up to rhythm. After each "performance" I look back to the music and figure out where I stumbled, or what I want to be clearer, or anything of that like.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There is a myriad of techniques that are very difficult to master, things like tremolo, cross string trills, artificial harmonics, tambora, tremolo rasgueado, and etc. But the largest hurdle I see most guitarists struggle with is the "Barre" a technique in which the performer holds many strings down with the index finger. I've seen many fail to learn it, and I've seen many play it incorrectly. Personally it took me a long time to get used to the technique, but I have a surefire way of teaching it so that the student will master it in no time!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I recommend two of them: Scott Tennant's "Pumping Nylon" and Pepe Romero's "La Guitarra". These are not necessary at all to begin lessons at any level. I can supply free resources that are great for learning. Mauro Giuliani's Right Hand Studies, and etudes by Matteo Carcassi and Fernando Sor.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Aside from my many performances with Pepe Romero, my big accomplishments personally are having performed many of my arrangements of famous piano pieces for guitar. I've arranged something like 300 pages of music for guitar ensembles, solo guitar, guitar and piano, guitar and violin and etc.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
To be completely honest, I have not had many students. The one student I did have for a few months moved on to play in several church bands and continues to play and love the guitar to this day.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Before I made the switch to classical guitar, I played a lot of acoustic guitar -- mostly folk. Then I heard a music video by a guitarist named Michael Lucarelli on youtube, and decided that I needed to learn how to play that kind of guitar. I searched all over Louisiana looking for a teacher that could help me in learning this gorgeous music, but very few had any inkling of how to play. That's when I discovered Mr.Patrick Kerber, who is a true master of the instrument and he helped me immensely.
