Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For my keyboard students, I like to start with like bit of music theory and learn to read musical notes and proceed to closing warm up exercise and solo repertoire according to their level and interests. For my voice students, I typically focus on their genre of music and teaching their goal in singing. Depending on their goal or focus, I will introduce vocal exercise and techniques although most techniques are good to use in any kind of singing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
When I think about a student learning wintry to put myself in there shoes. They want to feel like they have something to show for the time that they were the class session. . if we have an hour session and at the end of the session they can go out and show off what they learned then they will. It be as motivated to come back.... So my method is to teach them while at the same time giving a practical aspect where they have something that can show and practice to develop the skill learned in the proviso session. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Acoustic Guitar
I am a passionate teacher and performer that loves paying back the knowledge that I have had over the years. Professionally I have played in orchestras and every genre of music group trumpet, piano, guitar. Over 15 years I was a co Director of a music school that had thousands of students throughout those fifteen years that have gone on to professional and amateur music careers that have led them to play with professional groups and many other world renowned opportunities in travel and music development I am happy to pass that knowledge to the student who is looking for either professional or amateur venues of playing.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Synthesizer Electric Violin Fiddle
I love to ask questions about the student's thought process, and you will commonly see me "break down" technique into smaller, more digestable pieces. I will also take the time to discuss the musical setting of the piece to give the performance more context. For example, did you know that Mozart's Violin Sonata No. 21 in e minor was written around the time his mother passed, and is the only instrumental piece he wrote that rests in e minor? Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I use my own method books alongside other pedagogical resources such as the guitar methods left by Carulli, Carcassi, Sor, Brouwer, and many others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
I am a clarinetist, student, and educator excited about sharing my knowledge of music and the clarinet with students. I completed my MM degree in the Spring of 2023 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, College of Visual and Performing Arts, studying clarinet performance with Dr. Andy Hudson and Dr. Anthony Taylor. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance from Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU) in the spring of 2020, graduating summa cum laude with honors. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I grew up surrounded by music, theatre, sports and teaching; Mom was a music major, her instrument was piano, and Dad was a theatre major (who went to college on a football scholarship) and he played the drums. My earliest memories are of Mom playing the piano, Dad drumming, and me dancing all over the living room. I have been singing since I could talk and I started taking piano lessons around the age of 6. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On trumpet, the hardest thing to master is blowing through a phrase. What I mean by this is keeping a steady air flow and not changing your air flow up and down due to the notes you are playing in what range. Flexibility studies and Stamp as well as Hood warmups in particular help with this. The next thing that is most difficult is playing quietly with a good tone. A great way to practice for this is by playing Clarke 1,2,3,4,5 at a very low volume. Pair this with flow studies, and mastering Small and Arbans etudes will certainly help sustain a steady air flow.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Of coarse! A trumpet player’s best friend are their method books. The most well-known trumpet method books include Arbans and Clarke studies. These are great for fingering exercises, etudes, and a really great way to work up towards the trumpet player you want to be. Irons is great for flexibility, Small for etudes, Caruso for kinestetics, Schlossberg for etudes which are wonderful for beginners; and you can’t go wrong with Chicowitz for long tones - which of coarse improve your tone. These books belong in every trumpet players’ collection.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with breathing exercises and move to mouthpiece buzzing. I use the Boyd Hood mouthpiece drills corresponding on piano then with my mouthpiece; resting the same amount as playing. I move onto Chicowitz long tones and then Stamp warmups. I make sure to not overplay and rest just as much as I play. I move onto technical studies - including Irons flexibilities, Clarke technical studies and etudes, and etudes from either Schlossberg, small, or Arbans - depending on what I’m working on that week. After than I normally take about a 30 minute break then I work on my literature. Last, I warm down by playing low long tones included in the Stamp warmups.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bacholer of Arts in Music - concentration trumpet. I chose this degree to teach private lessons as well as perform gigs and I will eventually obtain my masters degree in either Musicology, Theory, Performance, or Composition. I like to keep my options open so that is why I have chosen some wiggle room for what I’m going to graduate school for. For now in this transition between undergrad and grad school, I want to teach lessons full time and continue practicing and playing gigs. I plan on attending UNT or UTA for graduate school.

My daughter is 5 years old. She wants to play piano. I have played piano since age 6, however I feel she would benefit from having an outside teacher.
