Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Drums
I have been playing music since age 11 starting on the drums and by middle school I started playing the alto saxophone in the band and picked up piano in the process. A few years after high school I obtained my degree in music and media production and started teaching. I have a passion for all aspects of music from learning to performing and I am skilled at multiple instruments with saxophone and piano being my two majors. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Drums
Began teaching when I was in college. Had a good rapport with all my students. Always tried to teach them something they can use now(like a cool beat or fill), this way they get enthusiastic and stay with it. My wife talked me into teaching again. We were at the recording studio one day but had no bass player, but my friends son was there, so I taught him the basics in 10 minutes and we recorded right after. Read More

Depending on the level of the student and instrument, I incorporate a mixture of theory, aural skills, technique, and repertoire. All of my piano students play Hannon exercises to build up their finger strength and dexterity as well as scales. Vocal students and guitar students likewise learn scales and exercises for the sake of technique. All students start each lesson by practicing reading rhythms at varying complexities, then creating their rhythmic patterns. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Voice
I like to get an idea from the student and the parent what their expectations are for music lessons. From there, the student and I come up with musical goals to accomplish for that year. We create a practice schedule based on the student's school and extracurricular activities and try to follow that schedule as much as possible. I also like to incorporate other styles of music such as popular Broadway pieces and Contemporary pieces into the student's repertoire so that they can have greater diversity in their piano playing or singing.

I have served over 3 years experience as a student teacher in two school districts with an elementary music class and the Jr. High and HS bands. With my experiences, I have created lesson plans, conducted rehearsals, and assisted with festivities for bands. As a graduate, I have also taught music lessons with children ages 5-18 and had worked with children in the same age group at a local day care center. Read More
