Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I like to challenge my students when I feel they should be. I also try very hard to showcase them whenever possible to show the community the great talent that is amongst us. I would have to say my main approach to teaching is figuring out what works best for each individual student, seeing as though everyone learns differently and at different paces. Forcing a student to learn something when they don't want to is something I do not allow, I can only encourage but not force. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am an avid music lover, performer, and teacher. I was lucky to study piano from a young age and have the amazing pre-collegiate experiences of appearing on MTV's Made and opening for the likes of McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, and Bela Fleck. I then received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where I studied saxophone performance as well as piano, songwriting, and audio production. I then moved to San Diego, CA and opened for The Wailers, Nappy Roots, Eve 6, Steel Pulse, Shawn Colvin before touring the country. Read More

I am a current student at Ball State University studying to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Instrumental/General Music Education with an add-on in Vocal Education. I am passionate about teaching music and helping others reach their full potential on whatever instruments they want to play. I am versatile and can play on almost every instrument with piano as my primary focus. When I am not teaching, I spend my time practicing, performing, and always striving to improve on any and every instrument I have available. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
I am a dedicated saxophone teacher in the Indy area that is always looking for new students. I grew up in the greenfield area and went to New Palestine High School where I was inspired by my band director to pursue the world of music. My goal with any student is to see them succeed like I did in the world of saxophone. I am always about creating opportunities for students to grow as a player. Read More
Instruments: Violin
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
To me, mastering an instrument is an impossibility in that there is always so much more to learn!! It is entirely endless! Once you get past one challenge that you have set for yourself, there are loads more which is allthe fun of it! New dimensions can and will unfold to you not only within the spontaneity of each given moment which only comes through the lucidity you bring to that given moment but also to the creation and ability to comprehend metaphors and the language and databases of those metaphors developed overtime! Things that I always work for and with are bow distribution, direction, intonation and INFINITE MUSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SUBTLEITES that unleash themselves within the very given moment of initiation.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I began studying under the tutelage of the Suzuki repertoire alongside a more traditional rugged approach to playing the violin. I also learned by playing Kreutzer etudes and exercises from the Carl Flesch books early on in my training. I find that these books worked moderately for my individual learning style. At age 9, I began to steep myself in the learning style of Paul Kantor my next consecutive teacher along the path which included self-created intonation practices and individualized intonation practices and technical practices taken generally from the pieces that I loved and we together chose to explore. This kind of applied learning worked successfully for me. Picture this metsphor for my learning style: it felt something equivalent to that of a moderate mathemtician that was not digesting the material in the most efficient way and was bored by the exercise of math in and of itself until applied to physics and then began to enjoy the math immensely and grew to learn it at a lower-entropied pace. Placing a focal point in such a relationship to something other than itself where it is necessary for that which it is in relationship to feed it and supplement I find is the necessary building block of building a balanced marriage between imagination and logic.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is variant upon the day but includes a form of meditation (yoga, sitting practice, walking meditation) at the beginning of each session, and before I bow to the instrument, followed by a slow warm up of the technical most difficult passages within the piece that I am working towards. After this, I play something of Bach for an hour to begin and finish with segments of the pieces that I am working on slowly and incrementally with rhythmed patterns. There is also a time and place for running through a piece. This will be explained directly with the individual student at the approrpiate time.
