Oneof my most memorable students was a trumpet player that wanted to learn drums just so he couldhelp his drummerswing better, his drummer didn't want to take lessons. We were able to work out a personalized lesson plan that enabled him to gain abasic understanding of drums. He was able tohelp his drummer and the whole band swing harder. Eventhough he never planned to be a drummer he was able to benefit from the learning experience. Read More

I put a large emphasis both on sight-reading and learning to play by ear; I believe these are the most important two skills any musician can have, whether he be an amateur, professional, or somewhere in between (yes, there's an in-between!). I like to focus on whatever a student has coming up for an audition or a solo & ensemble festival. If I can help players have a great experience soloing in public or help them win an audition to play with a great band (and I have a very good track record with my students winning auditions), they'll be more motivated.

The goal is to keep students interested, lessons fun while growing their experience andproficiencyattheirinstrument. Read More

I graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver in May of 2013 with my Bachelor of Music degree with a Concentration in Music Composition.

Well hello yet again. Ok, well I guess I covered most of this in the previous sections. Anyway.... In the previous section I covered most of what I can say in this one. These are real lessons, not jam sessions or monkey see monkey do. There are assignments given to be worked on before the next lesson. Everyone develops at a different pace and that is adjusting for in the lessons. Read More
