I started teaching during my last couple of years of my undergraduate years in college. I knew deep in my heart that I was meant to teach as I am not just a teacher but that is who I am.

Performance Opportunities: Performing is an integral part of becoming a musician. I provide opportunities for students to showcase their progress through recitals, workshops, and even collaborative projects. This not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for real-world musical experiences. Custom Materials: In addition to using established teaching materials, I create custom resources tailored to the student's needs. These materials may include exercises, practice guides, sheet music, and even audio recordings. Read More

To love music is to love life. To teach music is to give life and to play music is to share life with others. I was fortunate to receive the gift of music at an early age and my passion is to share this gift with others. I will provide a learning environment that is professional and nurturing with the highest artistic standards. Regardless of your level, experience, or goals my mission is to help all of my students achieve success in music for a lifetime. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
My methods depends on the skill level and interest of the student. Fundamentals are key, but I always try to incorporate them with music that the student is interested in learning. I believe that music should never be boring, and practicing should never be a chore! I also believe that musicians of all skill levels can and should improvise, as it is a fundamental form of creative expression that is often overlooked by classically trained musicians. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would be back in the advertising agency business.
It allow me to write jingles, create videos that combine audio, music and video to make a more dynamic communication piece that is more memorable. Now, I would like to do more Pro bono projects for needy charities. It is important for us all to participate in our community. What better way that through music, especially from my students. I am fortunate to enjoy playing several instruments, some not as well as others, but music is about how you pass along emotion, not just notes,
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would be a concert of self written songs that communicate emotion to the audience, enjoyment of the musicality, harmonies and syncopated sounds that together make a very enjoyable time for the audience. I have to tell you it is really fun to play in front of people. Like anything, it takes a little time and effort to learn anything. If it is fun along the way, you will never stop doing it.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The Suzuki method of teaching is closest to my style of teaching. Let's play. I'll show how to participate musically, sometimes very simple, but we are playing. And enjoying play. After all, playing is called that for a reason, and that's play. Some people like note playing, others syncopated chording. I like group teaching as it allows the student to learn to play with others, to keep time, to be on time, and a few mistakes don't matter. 'Group play shows that mistakes in a group are barely noticed and not the end of the world.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to evaluate the persons weekly practice after a fun warm up. Then talk what the student has enjoyed from listening to the radio or other means.
Together we might listen to the song as a candidate for a future song to learn. If the song is in the students ability range, we might find what the student is willing to do to learn a part of the song, however easy.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I was fortunate to have an early learning in piano, which gave me an excellent basis for music in any form. Whether I was writing an advertising jingle, reading the music from my church hymnal, or playing in a band with friends for fun, or professional for money. Music is more than a hobby. It is part of my life. I was apprehensive about singing at first, now I enjoy singing, and am not afraid to sing out loud, or in front of people. I believe anyone needs a basic understanding of music, but the rest does not have to be hard,
