Have fun. Love what you do. If it stops being fun push a little further ahead and see what happens. All it takes is a little ember to start a fire and I am ready to help my students find that fire within themselves. Its not always going to be easy and they will fall and stumble and when that does happen (and it will) I will be there to show them how to pick themselves up. Read More

How do I approach teaching music? When asked that, I tell my students I listen to YOUR desires and teach to YOUR level, not mine. You are the student; I am your guide, not your dictator. We will function as best friends do, with teamwork, perserverance, and tricks I use that I share only with those close to me whom I trust and my students who will benefit from the skills I give them the most.

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor that loves to share the passion for music. I was always taught having fun and motivation to learn more and that's the only way I teach. In March 2015 I graduated from Los Angeles College of Music in Drums Performance and in August 2015 I got my artist visa for the U.S. due to my experience as a performer and my current projects in Los Angeles.

I believe that everyone of all ages can benefit from music lessons. Learning an instrument relieves stress and promotes optimal health. I believe that we are all creative beings and music is a great to explore creativity. Researchers have found the acedemic potential of the student is increased by taking music lessons for several years. I love helping others find their own personal voice and assisting them with their personal music goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
From the time I became a college student at the age of 20, I started part-time piano teaching and have been giving piano lessons to students for over 25 years. I have extensive experience as a kindergarten teacher, church accompanist, piano instructor at church music schools and piano academies. Additionally, I teach over 30 students through private lessons and organize biannual recitals for them. Not only within the United States, but also internationally, I have guided my students to achieve excellent results in various competitions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I have taught students of all ages and skill levels, ages 5 through adult for piano, and ages10 through adult for saxophone and clarinet, all skill levels. Many of my past students have gone on to perform in competetions and recitals and still have a great passion for playing their instrument and continue to practice and perform. Working with students of a diverse age range, I have learned much about how every student learns differently and at their own pace. Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Deciding to become a professional musician was a gradual decision. The journey of meeting many musicians and being surronded by that culture throughout my life led me to that ultimately becoming my job.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided to pick up multiple instruments in middle school. I was fascinated in understanding the various components of an ensemble/ band and the individual role that each instrument played in that overall harmonic experience.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genres of music are R&B and funk. I think studying early Motown and the contributions of the session players during that era, contribute to a further understanding of how to play modern R&B music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe to practice music effectively it is important to focus on the individual task at hand when going to practice. I also believe that consistency and determination is the key to success in any field.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts with me warming up on my instrument through basic exercises and scales. If I have any music that I need to focus on for a show, I will then transition into learning that. I will then practice any techniques I need to refresh on whether it be slapping or double thumbing.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Growing up I used Suzuki and Hal Leonard books to practice piano. I also practiced a lot of Hanon from a few books to get great warm up exercises. For teaching bass students I use Bass Aerobics by Jon Liebman and various other sheet music I have collected from over the years.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose electric bass as my primary instrument because of it's vital role as both a rhythmic section instrument and a melodic one. The bass is the connection between all the other instruments to the drummer when locking into a groove.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The musical accomplishment I am most proud of has been getting to play on Country Music Television's award show "Smashing Glass" honoring Patti LaBelle and Tanya Tucker.
When will I start to see results?
Results come from finding one's internal connection to their instrument. It is a reward for developing the habit of achieving an indiviudal tasks, whether it be conquering a difficult part of a song or developing a new technique.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe that there is no "right age" to start taking lessons. Music is a language and anyone can start learning to express themselves through music at anytime.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had various music teachers throughout my life who have impacted my overall playing. Some of these include Reggie Hamilton, Freddie Washington, Abraham Laboriel, Alphonso Johnson, Rhonda Smith, Patrice Rushen, and Paul Jackson Jr. Each one has taught me various aspects of how I can grow and develop within my playing.
