My teaching experience dates back 35 years. Soon after I started taking piano lessons, I began teaching piano. I went into students homes and taught the classics. Since those early years of teaching piano, I have expanded and gradually started teaching guitar to a few students, and then later on I started teaching voice to a few students. In the last 15 years, I have been teaching full time on the three instruments piano, guitar, and voice. Read More

My students can expect to have a tailored curriculum based on age, experience, and style preferences. I am proud to say that I am trained in both Traditional and Suzuki methods, which is an advantage when working with a wide range of pupils. I often alternate between these methods, based on what the student preference. I often start beginner students on sight-reading which involves picking up the song by ear before moving on to more complex pieces. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
By age 12 I was becoming serious about music. I formed a band with my friends and we used to practice in my parent's garage. I was always pushing to practice more. I had a drive to want to sound better right from the beginning. I'm not sure exactly where that desire came from. I always took music seriously. But I loved baseball too and had dreams of playing for the St. Louis Cardinals. Around age 16 or 17 I began to lean more on music than baseball. I wasn't thinking of it as a career but gradually music began to define nearly everything I did.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My younger brother sings and plays guitar, bass and piano. We've written songs together and had a band. No one before us in our family played (that I'm aware of). But we grew up with music in our house. My father had an incredible vinyl collection. Motown, The Beatles, Elvis, Phil Spector's records. Music was always playing around the house. I remember studying the album artwork as the record played. I wanted to know how was in the band and what instruments they played. I wanted to learn who produced the records and who wrote the songs. I loved growing up in a house full of music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
From the guitar, I picked up most things with strings: bass, ukulele, etc. I can also play piano and sing. Once I learned the guitar, I didn't find it too difficult to move on to other instruments. The basic theory of chords, scales and keys was the same. As I stated above, when I learn a song I listen to all the parts. So after I learn the guitar part, I'll study what the drums and bass are doing. I'll study the lyrics and vocal melody. I'm interested in how each part works together to create the sound of the band.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy so many different styles of music it's impossible for me to choose one. One of the exciting things about technology is we have moved into a post-genre time in music. I listen to it all. I listen to The Smiths and Radiohead and Ryan Adams and Wilco and Segovia and Django and Willie Nelson, Dylan and The Beatles. I love Bach and Debussy. I tend to pull from all these genres as I play and write. Prince has been a big influence on me. He wrote and performed within so many disparate styles of music.
