My teaching style is focused on helping each student feel at ease, so that they can better learn. I also am strength-based in.my approach. That is, I focus on each individuals strengths in learning. This is in contrast to other teaching styles which are geared toward focusing on an individuals challenges. I have observed that this is the best way to successfully address new musical techniques and concepts. An example might be a child who likes to sing, but is struggling to learn new notes. Read More

I began teaching music in 2006 while still in college, and I have worked at a variety of different music schools and teaching companies, most notably at the University of Southern California. I taught and maintained a small voice studio of my own in New York City for four years before the pandemic forced me back to the west coast to care for my family. I typically work with a wide variety of students with different ages and backgrounds, and I pride myself on offering a holistic and trauma informed approach to the study of voice and singing.

My teaching experience started back in my last few years of college. I was always hands on with learning the tricks and tips about playing the piano. I involved myself with my peers. I helped them with practicing and figuring out techniques. To my peers, I gave constructive feedback for techniques, harmony, play style, musical sense, and anything related. This helped me realize teaching others was fun and enjoyable. Therefore I started teaching. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days teaching private lessons both in my home studio and students' homes, and have been consistently teaching students in their homes for the last 13 years. Encouraging younger students to have a consistent schedule for a regular practice will help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument. Combining classical and modern music help students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. 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.
