Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, the Faber Faber series or the Alfred series are recommended as a core repertoire. A Dozen A Day is recommended for daily warm-ups and I also provide the students with supplementary songs and books of their choice, such as Disney, pop, jazz and popular classical pieces transcribed for beginner piano. For adult students, I use the Faber Faber method book that provides an overall comprehensive and fast pace lesson style. Read More

For all students, our first meeting will be an assessment to figure out where to start! I typically have students begin by playing something they are comfortable with that they enjoy, and we go from there. I am comfortable teaching a variety of methods and like to help the student achieve their individual goals, whatever those may be. I do like to supplement most teaching method books with some kind of scale/etude regimen depending on the level, to round out their practice throughout the week between lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. This is encouraged by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. And realistic practice time at home. By acknowledging their accomplishments, the students desire to progress grows immensely, making students eager to learn more. Learning what inspires the student allows me to give them a customized piano session that fits their wants and needs. Read More

My approach to teaching is as individual as each student. It is important that each student learns at their own pace and in their learning style. It is my job to see what the student's best playing is and push them a little past it. I help my students set goals in their lessons, both broad goals of learning pieces, and specific parts of each piece for their weekly practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I create a lot of my teaching material my self, and I developed at Indiana University a reading method that emphasizes the similarities between the clefs and allows the student to have a global view of the staff. My lessons are very energetic and fast paced, I normally prefer if parents are present in lesson taking notes, and when possible, I even teach the parents before I teach the students, so we have a consistent learning environment at home as well.

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from Norfolk State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education. I grew up playing piano and singing in church and was previously Minister of Music at my former church where I was responsible for singing and playing piano. I have also sung with a band for a short period of time in local venues and performed in a college musical theater production. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at your own pace, but put in 30 minutes a day. Play through the exercise at least 3 times before going to the next. Repetition is the key to successful learning. Follow the assignments that are outline and be prepare for the next lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child enjoys listening to music and shows a desire to learn new things and has an inquiring mind, that child will be ready to take on new areas to grow. The child would need to know how to count and how to read at an elementary level.
When will I start to see results?
The results would be visible after the 3rd month of training. By then, the child would be reading his or her notes and should be moving up to level Alfred Level 1A by then. At this level, the child would be playing simple songs. Finger Numbering and the Scales would also be introduced. The child would be introduced to certain teaching aids which will increase their learning. Some of this would involve working with flash cards and the Alfred activity books which include coloring and doing fun exercises. The family is encouraged to participate with their children in these exercises.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I remember my 3rd grade and her name was Ms. Harris. My fellow class members and me were in a large class room and we worked on different subjects. What I remember most about her is that during class she use to gathering us around the piano in a big circle and she played while we sang different songs. She helped me gain a love for music. This is one teacher I'll never forget.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a small child, I had no ideal that I could play. I remember that my parents got me a small keyboard with a beginners book. I was picking up some of the notes on my own. I also remember other kids in my neighborhood who had piano's in their homes. I remember being in some of their homes and watching them play. I learned by memory and by ear and played what they played. The neighbors encourage my mother to start me on piano lessons. She got me a nice upright piano which was once a player piano and it was converted to a regular piano. It was an antique when she got it. She assigned me to Mr. Willis E Lee for Piano Lessons. I studied under him for 18 years until he had me worked up an accomplish, advance pianist. I was on college level when I left him.
