Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
I like to start with the basics. Its important to let the student gain confidence in their instrument. So I start with very simple task that would be easy to do while I'm present so if they have any questions I can answer. I also do everything in three's...if we are working on the C scale and we get it correct I like to do it three time straight for memory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
In my private lesson, you'll gain an understanding, not only of the piano and how to play it in many different styles, but also of music, how it works and how songs are formed and structured. You are about to begin a journey of playing the piano that will take you as far as you are willing and able to go. I will give you everything you need to learn to play the piano by ear, along with lots of extras. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have had five years of music teaching experience and I am interested in the music education substitute position. I have had 11 years of performance experience in musical and opera productions as well as singing lead and playing keyboard in bands and ensembles. I have a passion for music and a desire to help youth, using music as the bridging vessel. No student walks into a school being a blank slate, so it is important to consider their backgrounds, musical and cultural, when finding teaching approaches and building upon the knowledge they have already acquired.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is fun, focused, and efficient. I like to keep the environment positive and encouraging, as that is what helps a student progress the most! When a student first starts lessons, we establish a few goals to accomplish over the semester, such as "become more confident" or, "learn a foreign language piece". With these in mind, I will teach the lessons, pick warm ups, and select repertoire (with the student) accordingly! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
That's where I get my joy. In High School, I was awarded the "Louis Armstrong Achievement Award" in jazz for playing drum set for the jazz band. In college, I performed with the HBCU All-star band during their National Band Directors Consortium. I was awarded first chair percussion. I've been playing Gospel Piano since 1998 and refined my skills at Chicago State University where I obtained my Bachelors of Music Education. Read More

I'm a well motivated instructor who enjoys working with students of any age. During and after college I found it rewarding to work with students in a classroom and private setting.Over the past 40 years my students recieved the same in depth musical education that I recieved with an added bonus due to my success and expirience as freelance musician.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am really the only one of my siblings that stuck with music. One of my brother started piano when he was younger, but was not interested like I was. My other brother played violin and piano and he even wrote some music too.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was seven I wanted to play the piano because my brother was taking lessons. My brother stopped after a while, but I continued for several years performing for school recitals and church. Along with music classes I developed a love and talent for music. During junior high, there were many teachers leaving. Because there were other extracurricular activities I was involved in, I stopped playing the piano in high school. After graduating high school was when I decided to become a professional musician. I didn't really remember being good at or wanting to do anything else in school other than playing piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano is my primary instrument that I play and want to teach. In college I decided to try a group guitar class because I wanted to learn to play more instruments. My mom had an old guitar that I could use. Being with many other students and not getting enough individual help in the class, I didn't pick it up as easily as I did piano. I also take voice lessons along with piano. If I had to pick another instrument to play now, I would want to learn violin inspired by the violinist Lindsey Stirling.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I do not know what I would want to do. That was what I was struggling with when senior year of high school and after I graduated. I was taking general education courses for a few years before taking piano and voice lesson and decided on a music career.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is a difficult question because I do not really prefer on style/genre over the other. I love to play the various style and genres of music because it diversifies the repertoire. I do enjoy playing some popular songs or movie/tv themes. I definitely have a newfound appreciation for classical when I started college. I did not really like classical music growing up because I thought it was all boring and sounded the same. I have not really played a lot of jazz music so that would be an interesting genre of music to start playing.
