Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
I have been a music educator in the public schools for over 40 years having taught in Austin, Texas and currently in Fort Worth, Texas. Many of my students have gone to play their instruments in college bands throughout the state. Several former students are currently teaching music at the secondary and college level. I do not approach my teaching to focus on a student's future as a musician. All make individual choices on musical endeavors. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
I have multiple books to work from based on the age and skill level of the student. I work fundamentals with all levels and can teach topics from multiple angles. My music library is expanding and becoming more diverse so that I give work solos with all of my students. I keep track of lessons and set a plan for each student in order to maintain forward progress. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I started teaching privately when I was in high school. I taught just a couple of kids and found it fun. I was a little busy to teach in college as I was concentrating on learning to be a professional saxophonist. My teachers include Doug Heath, Bob Seligson, Terry Autry, and Todd Goranson. I was able to learn at a relatively high level in school and continued that through grad school. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been teaching since age 15 (1999). In addition to extensive performing experience on clarinet, I have functioned as a piano accompanist, choir member, and praise band member through the years. As noted above, I teach clarinet, saxophone, flute, and piano. My methods vary according to each individual students' needs and goals, however I try to find the approach that will best help a student to appreciate music in general, sharpen the mind, and give each student a level of skill on their instrument that provides a sense of accomplishment.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute
I like to start from the ground up, which means I start with Music Theory. Yes starting off with learning how to play the instrument is great but, if you don't know what you're doing while you're blowing then whats the point? Read More
Instruments: Drums
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My John Phillip Souza award. This is because as a senior in High School, we had an award ceremony that I looked not to attend.
I didn't even know that there was a music award nor did I expect anything. I attended & was called up for these two awards, one being the national John Phillip Souza award given to those who are leaders & have shown dedication in the field of high school music participation. Its my favorite award, accolade, or star given to me.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I didn't. However, I had my instructor of drums as well as some individuals at the high school level help me push myself, recognize where my flaws or weakness were, help me overcome the, & be a successful component for a band or ensemble.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
A Christmas party with my family. I was able to sit down, play the instrument with relative ease & I opted to continue down that path. It had made me feel good, I was good at the instrument, & my time of playing sports was coming to an end. It was the perfect timing as an 11 year old, both in the growth of le having the a l
When will I start to see results?
Within the 6 weeks is when you'll see results when a student first starts drums. When someone comes to me with prior knowledge, I see results within the first 3 - 4 weeks. This might not seem like a big deal, but to revamp & change sticking, posture, & bad habits might take more than 15 minutes at a drum set. The same goes for learning the proper ways at first; it might not be the most comfortable, but it will help you prevail after that 1st month of growth.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
While you can start a student at an elementary school age to play the drums, it is best to wait for a student to be around the age of 8 or older to start playing drums. Plenty of drummers started around the age of 4 or 5 & its a case by case basis.
If they are younger, see their interest especially after taking a lesson where they are presented the items that can be deemed boring or lacking in fun. If they are still receptive, they'll have the drive to move forward & take the lessons. Most of my students started between the ages of 4 - 8.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Create a constant routine of practicing. Follow this regimen consistently. Give equal time to each time. When struggling, give extra time to the topic, section, or problem. Consistency as well as independent practice is quintessential to the progressing of a student. Ask for someone such as your parents, significant other, friend etc to help you stay on track if you have trouble getting into a routine.
