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

I actually dreamed of becoming a popular guitarist during high school because I was so into the band but that passion was just short-lived. I have showcased my violin talent during high school pageant. As far as I can remember, one of my informal students was my brother. I taught him every song that he would want to play in piano or guitar and shared some basic knowledge on how to play and remember the chords easily. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college years when I taught lessons at a studio, primarily working with young children. I met a fellow music teacher in a class of mine and she brought me to a store where I had my own private studio downstairs with students ranging from different ages. I worked with so many students, some whom stayed with me for the entire time I was working as a teacher. Read More

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.
