Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
Depending on previous experience, voice lessons tend to begin with foundations of breathing and relaxing the muscles of the jaw and throat. From there, repertoire is developed based on the long term goals and needs of the student. I have taught piano from the Bastien, Keith Snell and Alfreds Music series, and feel most comfortable when the student is open to my advice about which series would be a good fit for then :-) i also firmly believe that working on material a prospective student loves listening to is paramount!

Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga
For young students who have never played before they are introduced to a fun and easy book called Hal Leonard's Drum Set Method. After a quick assessment I apply some adjustments to there playing and quickly assign some fun homework. Simply and effective for their style of playing.

Instruments: Piano
The first time I had the opportunity to mentor students was in my sophomore year of college in 2017. As a piano tutor at California Baptist University, I was helping beginner piano students to prepare for piano proficiency exams. I became a Teaching Assistant in the spring of 2021, where I assisted my piano professor in preparing for classes and lessons. I started teaching my own private students online and in person in the summer of 2021. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz music is my favorite to play because it stimulates the brain in many different ways. I was introduced to it at a young age and immediately took interest in how all the notes were being played. When I found out that they weren't looking at music when playing, I thought it was the best thing I'd ever learned! The art of improvisation is very complex and it's an ever-growing form of music. The interaction between all the members playing in a jazz setting is one of the coolest things to witness once the genre is explored in the slightest.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
When I began saxophone, I knew I wanted to eventually play all the different types and with the help of my school's music program, I was able to before going to college. I started with the alto saxophone which is of course, the most popular amongst students. Then I went on to play the Baritone sax in marching band and tenor and soprano after that. While in University, we were challenged with the task of mastering other woodwind instruments that helped expand our canvas of sound. I've also experimented with drum technique and basic piano.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music doesn't run in my immediate family. It does, however, have influence over a small group of cousins. The same cousin that inspired me to pick up the sax also sings and plays guitar. I learned a lot from him by learning from ear and not being intimidated by playing in front of others. I use to watch him perform with rock and funk bands. His dad is also the lead singer in his own band. They play often at different venues around the city I grew up in. Their family is a large part of my musical journey.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in music once I learned it was possible through the knowledge of a professor from Western Michigan University. He and a group of nine played a brief show to demonstrate their skills and talk to us about the different degrees offered at WMU. We bought their CDs from them and got to talk to them directly after the show. I had such a revelation that day because I never knew that people could go to school for something like that, let alone make an entire career from it.
