Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I started out college at the University of Alabama as a Music Therapy major with piano as my primary instrument. After a year playing electric bass in a jazz combo, I decided my true passion was in teaching and performing music, so I bought an upright bass and switched to a Jazz Studies major with upright bass being my primary instrument. After a year of studying and practicing upright bass I became the principal bassist in the Huxford Symphony Orchestra and in UA's top Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Standards Combo. Read More

My passion, discipline and determination to be professional at all costs helped me to graduate from BIT, and Pasadena Music Academy, and immerse myself into the music scene as a gifted multi instrumentalist concentrating on bass.  I can sight read, play by ear, arrange music, and play any style or genre. I have toured with international artists who have inspired me to continue performing throughout my life. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

For all students I start with the basic fundamentals. For younger students I try to find out where they are in their music classes at school and incorporate as much of that curriculum into my instruction as possible. For older or more advanced students I find out what type of music they are interested in learning and gear my instruction towards their interests. I have several instructional books series that I work from, including Hal Leonard, Mel Bay and my own packet/study guides that I have put together that I present to my students as they progress.

I then worked for several years with Camp Victory in various capacities, including music. Now I teach private lessons through Encore! Fine Arts Studio as well as Musika and elsewhere. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Music

I’m always eager to meet new faces and enjoy sharing my gift with others who are passionate about learning music. I have never liked the dreaded term "homework". So what I like to tell my students to encourage them to achieve the most success they can, is to simply go home and "practice" because practice makes perfect.  I feel that learning any instrument is similar to learning a foreign language.
