I specialize in finger style guitar therfore i like to spend a small portion introducing students to different kinds of picking techniques. Ialsoexplore improvisation and song structure concepts in variousdifferent styles of music.

Instruments: Piano, Violin

I love hearing a student improve in their music. I love not only hearing them play but seeing them grow as a person. Music is an incredible powerful gift that can be used in so many different ways. I believe in learning a musical instrument students can be benefited as a person by learning self discipline/patience/perseverance. It's a great way to set goals and see goals met. There is no way for learning an instrument to be a quick process but little by little it can progress to a great accomplishment. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I believe that the foundation of all singing in all genres is solid technique, so I heavily emphasize the essentials of breathing and supporting the air.  We will do this both through vocal exercises and the application of technique to repertoire both chosen by the student and reccomended by myself.  My main goal is for my students to be interested in and excited about what they are doing. Every lesson will begin with a vocal warmup to determine where a student's voice is on a particular day. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Banjo, Mallet Percussion

My teaching style is improvisational in nature. I focus on creative compositions. In contrast, I present traditional music and learning. I juxtapose the two into a new style of teaching. I mix the old with the new, and thereby create my own style. Much as in the fashion of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do with my intention on music education. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Organ

I want new students to have fun and learn things that are interesting to them and benefitial to their musical journey. Children should get their beginnings in technique books and eventually music that stimulates further growth and interest; and adults, like the kids, importance is placed on technique, but even moreso, good practice techniques! As adults we quickly lose patience and revert to bad habits when it comes to practice, and that slows growth, develops poor technique and narrows our abilities to only what we currently know.
