Teaching has always been apart of my career whether on the bandstand, the studio or in the classroom. When i graduated from Grambling State in 2013, i was hired as band director at MLK Jr High School in Ouachita Parish as well as two feeder elementary schools.

I believe in teaching people to be true musicians and tap into their own creative spirits, not just to be technicians at the mercy of what's written for them. With that said, I take a balanced approached between learning traditional fundamentals and some of my own more philosophical approach, drawing on metaphors and analagous experiences to help frame this learning experience in ways the student can relate and understand. I call this The Art of Practice, which you'll be able to apply elsewhere in your life as well. Read More

Always help my students achieve their goals, always give them music they like and we both can decide it is good for the student's development. The personal development of a student is a priority of mine Love to see my students achieve their goals. Love to imprint a loving and caring approach to music in my students. Always try to have my students sing what they love, when they do so, the put their 110% into it, instead of having to do it because they are told so, and it reflects in their practice time as well.

Every student is different and it is very interesting to me to guide each one to fulfil their goals. I often use software that is helpful in teaching, like Transcribe, Band in a Box , and other software to write music, backing tracks, etc. Student motivation is the main goal and of course determines the style and content of my teaching .

My teaching style is engaging empathic and emphasis on repetition and finding strong points in students to keep them engaged while working on weaknesses. I encourage all students to work on memorizing repertoire, keeping correct posture, practicing a few times a week and performing for friends and family during the learning process.

Acknowledging accomplishments fuels the student as well as my self and insures a I can tailor the instruction for more growth later on. Read More
