Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin Fiddle Music Keyboard Classical Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than having a student fall in love with music and playing it for themselves and others. It is important to me that each student not only progresses in skills and technique, but also gains a deeper love and understanding of music. I believe playing in a group with other like-minded musicians is essential for every musician. That is why I strongly encourage my students to join an orchestra, ensemble, band, or any other group that interests them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I use a very easy to read and understand series of books for my beginners: Bastien Piano Basics Piano, Performance, Technic, and Theory Books. Once students matriculate through these books (series 1 and 2), I switch to John Thompson's books. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone
I am an experienced, dedicated saxophone/piano teacher who is eager to work with students at all skill levels. I have over 50 years of playing or teaching music and I look forward to sharing the knowledge that I have gained over the years with my students. My professional saxophone experience involved traveling to much of the northeastern part of the country, playing gigs focusing on blues, jazz, soul, rock RB. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I began my teaching career as a middle and high school band director and taught beginning classes and lessons as well as concert and marching bands. When my daughters were born, I began teaching private lessons on piano and clarinet. I really enjoyed seeing how much my students would progress in private lessons and how successful they were in recitals and at piano guild contest. For the last twenty years, I have enjoyed teaching general music and choir in an elementary school in Dallas. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching at a music summer camp 3 years ago. Since then, I have been teaching private students. I encourage regular practice sessions. This is one of the key points I like to emphasize for beginners especially, as it tends to help the student progress, gain a passion for the instrument, and build discipline. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy music, motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I teach in a fun and customized way. Since I have taught for almost 15 years from Kindergarten to adults, I use a simple language in order to explain the fundamentals of Technic. I'm always encouraging students to play for large audiences, and I create a fun environment in order to build confidence in the students. Always complimenting my lessons with new songs, scales, pieces at the peak of technical skills in order to build a great performer. Read More

Both Jazz and Flamenco developed around the same time and have interacted healthily with classical musicians who need to express that improvisational style inside of us. After all the technical detour, we return full circle to what is most natural: Music developed to enjoy, express ,feel and have fun, whether by singing and accompanying, making others happy through dance and joy , composing and improvising or arranging other's music or music as a discipline of knowledge that interacts with almost every other field of human intellect, from mathematics to science to psychology The method may vary but the goals are the same.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I had a talent for music when I was one of the fastest to pickup saxophone in elementary school. It quickly became clear it was my thing and I took it on as my identity before leaving middle school.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother sings at church but I am the only professional musician in my family. I started a love of music from listening to my dads CDs as a kid.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on saxophone in elementary school and soon added the guitar which is my main instrument. In high school I started playing drums and bass and have been very active on both since, playing as a session musician in many famous studios.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece is a chord solo of Maria from west side story. I’ve been working on it recently and have found it to be a very rewarding arrangment
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have always gravitated towards art so I would enjoy painting or pottery. I have an interest in ceramics and am planning on taking classes when I move to philadelphia.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre is rock/pop from the 60s-70s. My favorite bands are The Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon. I love singer songwriter music as well as jazz, blues, and reggae.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in songwriting and arranging. I enjoy composing and I’ve used these skills to write hundreds of songs some of which have been featured in tv shows. I always give my students tips on writing and composing.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice I will run chords up the neck diantonically and chromatically. I will also run triads through 3 inversions up the neck. Also I will learn songs strictly by ear to practice ear training.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on guitar is knowing all of the notes on the neck and being able to use your ear to find them quickly. I work on ear training with my students to help with this.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Hal Leonard with some younger students but I often take note from a students interests as to what genres to work with them on and how theory can be lightly applied to it
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have gone on to attend Berklee College if Music and study with some of the grestest musiciabs in the world. One of those students got in on a scholarship.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every child should be exposed to music lessons at some point. Music is the universal language and every child deserves the opportunity to express their own creativity.
When will I start to see results?
After around 2 months of weekly lessons, students will start to make vast improvements if they have been practicing daily and are putting in the time and effort.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had many incredible teachers throughout my career, many of whom I’m still in touch with. A music teacher is unlike any other teacher as they are teaching a craft that is so spiritual and unique with the ability to move others with their art.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first learned the saxophone and soon after moved to the guitar because I wanted to write songs. Since then I have written hundreds of songs and I’ve never looked back!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Performing for 50,000 people at primavera sound in Barcelona was one of my favorite musical moments. Truly an amazing event and I’ll never forget the feeling
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Take the time to set aside distractions and focus on your craft. Practice does not need to be boring it should be fun and engaging. My lesson plans give students the tools to enjoy their instrument and feel themselves improve.
