Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I believe each person is uniquely different in this life and that goes for music too. For piano beginners, I like to use the standard Faber curriculum, if you're more advanced we can explore adding some more challenging books such as the Hanon scales, Junior Hanon for beginners, etc. I like to supplement core pieces with scales, technical books, and ad hoc assignments that I sometimes have students pick. For voice, it will very much depend on your goals and where you are at vocally, but my voice teaching style is very much grounded in healthy technique and learning about vocal pedagogy, no matter what genre of music you want to sing!

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
To me, the most important thing about teaching is listening to a student's goals and interests. I do my best to keep my ears open as we work to make sure I am structuring a program that helps them feel fulfilled and challenged every step of the way. For younger students, the goal is to keep them engaged in music until the point when they have such mastery that they can see the results of their work tangibly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
I love to teach my students the basic tools of what it takes to be a professional musician, whether or not they are into music as a hobby or as a serious profession. I currently play drums for the hit Broadway musical (non-union version) of Rock of Ages and when I'm not on the road; I'm teaching. I’m an avid columnist for Modern Drummer Magazine and I sing/play guitar for one of Chicago's best Nirvana tributes called Smells Like Nirvana. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I first fell in love with the piano when I was 3 years old, but unfortunately was not able to start taking lessons until I was 11. When I was 16, friends and family started asking me to teach them to play and I developed a love for teaching. At college I decided to study piano teaching to become the best teacher possible. I am a member of the Music Teacher's National Association and the Wisconsin Music Teacher'sAssociation. Read More

I teach students to read music and achieve excellence, and learn to play contemporary music using chord sheets, depending on the goals and preference of the student; Teaching the importance of training the ear, which is where the confidence lies and the ability to play. Using methods that enables musicians to play what they actually conceive or hear rather than bore their listeners with licks and notes that work off a page. Read More

Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano lessons to beginner students to adult students in my home for six years now. Most of my students have been children ages six to thirteen; however, I have also taught adult students as well. I am also willing to travel to the student's home with in my area of Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Mt. Prospect, Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village. Combining the songs in the lesson book with popular songs, along with scales helps the student to have more fun learning to play the piano. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar has always been my first love. I love to sing and so it became a natural progression for me. In the 80’s however, an accident took my left ring finger out of the equation. I worked very hard to work around this handicap and now I play guitar better than ever today. My mentor for years kept trying to convince me to switch to bass guitar because of this handicap. He turned me on to a book called the Evolving Bassist by Rufus Reid and quoted a passage that essentially said Bass players only need three fingers. I gave in and never looked back. I still play guitar often but have found a new voice in the bottom end. I no longer have to compete with much better four fingered guitar players and have become a much better lead player in the process.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
After losing a finger on my string hand in a machining accident, I spent years trying to make a comeback. I am proud of myself for having the fortitude to retrain my hand to do with three fingers what it knew with four. With hard work I have become much better than I ever thought of being before the accident. I believe as far as personal accomplishment, I think there has been no greater joy than to be able to bring others into a place of joy and happiness and worship. Music has a way of getting inside you and for me, playing, teaching, and performing create in me a feeling that I am doing what I was born to do. Not all of us reach the pinnacle of success in music but that is not what it is about for me. We are on a great mountain here. Some reach the summit, others continue the climb. My hope is to help my students get a leg up on that climb by helping arming them with the tools to reach their personal and professional goals. Being able to effectively give this to others I think is my greatest musical achievement.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Over the years I cannot recall if any of my students have received special honors or rewards but I do know many of them have gone on to be fine musicians, instructors, and worship pastors. As I have gotten older it has been quite enjoyable to watch as the "changing of the guard" has occurred. They are not kids anymore and they have taken the mantle of leadership well. I am proud to be a part of the foundation has led to successful application of their talents. It is a silent, unseen reward for me, but it is one of the most fulfilling award I have ever received.
