Instruments: Piano Violin Trombone Saxophone Clarinet
All of my students, depending on age, go through my curriculum which not only focuses on solo repertoire but learning how to be an essential part of any ensemble. I make sure I plan individual lessons and create overall schemes of work for my pupils so they can develop knowledge of materials and repertoire for them at different stages of their musical development. I extend my own musical experience by becoming familiar with the music my pupils listen to and music that is assigned from their primary music instructor, as well as have them become familiar with other musical styles and by developing improvisation and vocal skills.

Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium
I began teaching trombone and bass after my first years of college at Cal State L.A. and went on to become a clinician and teacher in Los Angeles teaching trombone, bass, and percussion as well as working with musicians and conducting clinics around the U.S. and the world while touring and during my time as a cultural ambassador for the U.S. State Department. I now teach primarily from my home in Los Angeles and have had great success inspiring my students to progress. Read More

Instruments: Trombone
The Arban book is available for free on PDF. For beginning students, I discuss long tones, sound, and simple scale studies. Once students grasp the fundamentals, I like to teach how they relates to the music they listen to. Through this, students can learn how theory and scales become music As we get advanced, I like to move in to scale studies, technical warm ups, and theory. When working on a recital performance, or simply learning the instrument, I like to concentrate on listening, developing a clean and full sound, breathing, and musicality. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
Of course, everything depends on what you, the student, want to learn! For younger students that are just starting, I've found the Accent on Achievement books to be very helpful in developing the basics of playing. From there, Classically-focused players would learn solo repertoire, Jazz-focused players would learn standards and improvisation, and all the other genres would begin to narrow down their appropriate fields. Adults are certainly welcome as well and I'd love to help them learn whatever they are interested in. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Synthesizer Recorder Euphonium French Horn Music Keyboard
I began teaching private music lessons in college in 2003. I have been teaching lessons consistently for the last 10 years from my home studio, online, as well as traveling to the students' home. I find great pleasure in hearing a student's progress, that's why I encourage recording their practice and having a consistent practice schedule. I feel it is important to give positive reinforcement and feedback to students. I am always excited to bring on new students of many different age groups! I believe it is important to keep the lesson interesting to the student by incorporating music for technique but also songs that the student enjoys playing. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I can't remember a defining moment where I felt like something really kicked in. My junior and senior year in high school I started regularly practicing my trumpet and tuba. I also got my first tuba teacher who opened a lot of aspects of music to me. Because of how much I started to improve during those years, I started taking myself and my playing more seriously. When deciding what I wanted to do in college, I felt like music was my strongest point. I felt it was the right way to go since I had put so much into my playing.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music has a small history in my family. My brother plays the clarinet, my mom used to play the flute and saxophone, and my dad used to play the saxophone and trumpet. My parents no longer play anymore, however my brother and I still participate in my high school's 4th of July Parade which is open to any musician. My brother and I used to play in high school together in the same concert band and marching band. However I am the only one in my family that actually pursues music professionally however.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This routine is what I do for tuba since it's what I play on the most. I play Remingtons in my middle all the way down to my extreme low register. I play flexibility exercises like lipslurs. I take a small break because I do the hardest exercises at the beginning. I then do all of my major scales with two octaves. I then do all my minor scales in all forms with two octaves. Right now I'm working on learning my modes too. Specifically I focus on learning one of the dorian modes every three days. Then I play an etude from Bordogni Complete Solfeggi and then I play that etude an octave lower. Then I practice whatever solo piece I'm working on at the time. Right now I'm relearning the Sonata for Bass Tuba and Piano on CC tuba.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I personally think the hardest thing to learn on trumpet is resonant tone. I cannot begin to express how many trumpeters, students and peers, have a hard time getting the best tone. On tuba the most difficult thing is agility, flexibility, and clarity. Because the instrument is pitch so low, these three things are difficult to achieve. Since I have been practicing regularly for the past four years, I have made significant progress, however I still have a long way to go. This brings up the last point which applies to all kinds of musicians. Something that is difficult to learn is patience.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my maestro award from Heritage Festivals. I received this award in 2012 as a recognition of my achievements in that festival as a soloist. I am one of ten who received this award out of over one thousand other students. That same festival I received an Outstanding Soloist from the California Alliance for Jazz. Later that year I received the Louis Armstrong Award, a nationally recognized jazz award. I also have received multiple merit based scholarships three years in a row from the Cal Poly Pomona Music Department.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have three students who have gone on to lead and teach in their high schools. These students have been recognized by their peers as well as their director. All three have gone on to become section leaders for their marching bands, concert bands, and symphonic bands. One has gone off to college where he has been playing in the concert band there. Another has been pushing for support of his music program at his high school. The other has made so much improvement I have heard from band parents how much he has stepped up his game.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose trumpet in Elementary school because I wanted to follow my brother's footsteps as a musician. My dad had an old trumpet so I picked it up and went to class. As the years went on I realized I was quite good at playing music. I tried out other instruments like baritone and french horn. Halfway through high school, the marching band needed tubas, so I switched over and received lessons from a teacher over the summer. I fell in love with tuba when I found out how beautiful and impressive the tuba could be.
