Since then I have taught piano to a student for 2 summers while home from school. I also volunteered for the nonprofit Alabama Blues Project camp in Tuscaloosa, where I met a student eager to learn guitar and drums, and I taught weekly lessons to him for a summer on both instruments. The last 3 years that I lived in Tuscaloosa I taught weekly lessons to a friend on both bass and piano. Read More

I like to work with students toward their goals. Setting achievable goals with the student and guiding them as they accomplish the goals. My teaching style is to mentor and coach students so they enjoy their time playing music as well as see their progress. Helping each student with the individual challenges the encounter is a priority, and every student is unique. I always take time to find out what inspires the student and tailor the lessons and repertoire so they enjoy the music they are working on. Read More

Of course I am not skilled at things I have not practiced! There is no shame in beginning something as an adult and surviving the initial stages of cultivating a skill, in fact it takes a lot of courage and is something to be proud of.

I began my musical career in high school taking on paid gigs at an early age and after graduation I had the opportunity to begin playing professionally right away. Before moving to Florida my central home for 15 years was in an arts-based community north of San Francisco where I was a member in several groups that gained significant notoriety throughout Northern California and the Greater North West. Essentially, I've sat at the hip of masters and put in my 10,000 hours of work to get to this point in life. Read More

Allowing students to move forward at a pace that feels comfortable encourages confidence and reduces frustration, creating a more positive and productive learning experience. When students feel supported rather than rushed, they are more likely to remain engaged and committed to their musical studies. One of the most effective ways I support steady progress is by setting realistic and achievable goals at each lesson. These goals provide clear direction and help students understand what they are working toward, whether it involves mastering a new technique, improving rhythm, or completing a piece of music.
