I formally began teaching private lessons fifteen years ago and love to see the rapid musical growth that can be achieved with focused one-on-one instruction. For the last ten years, I have been a band, orchestra, and choir director at the middle school level in the Long Beach Unified School District. This experience has helped me to streamline my music teaching process and become a much more efficient teacher in private lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I'm originally from California and graduated from Marin School of the Arts, a well-known performing arts high school. I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Trumpet Performance and Music Production. Getting to travel and perform live for large audiences has been some of my most exciting and fulfilling experiences, as well as getting to perform in venues that my heroes have played in. Venues like The SF Jazz Center, The Royale Boston, The Road Runner Boston and Stone Pony NJ, are all venues that have been a center of great music over the years that I've had the pleasure of performing at.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they have a good grip on English and have no health issues odds are they are ready to learn how to play an instrument. In many European countries, children learn music in Elementary school. If they are quite young, I may not even place goals on them as their bodies grow so much daily that everyday is different. Some days it's impossible to play and other days they play at an impressive level. If their ability is that volatile, they can still learn how to read and sing music. There is plenty that can be taught in lessons other than playing an instrument.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the student. The more the students chooses to practice, research, asks questions, and pursues better results determines how soon results will take place. I personally practice around two hours a day and I feel like everyday I improve a little more. For someone who is just starting to learn how to play and read music, I would say the average student can start seeing some serious results in about two weeks if they practice 15 minutes daily. For someone who only practices during lessons, it will take much much long.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first tuba teacher inspired me to pursue tuba in college and professionally. Experiencing how fun it was to play duets with him and playing in marching band was what made me feel connected to my playing. I feel like too many teachers spend too much time on goals, checkpoints, and deadlines instead of trying to convey the best of what music can be to the student. You would be surprised what your body can do to make a lifeless metal tube do. I want to show my students that they have the skills to make music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Learn many different warm ups and exercises. After you have obtained these sort out the ones that work best for you and practice them from start to finish everyday, regardless of frustration or how long it takes you. It is crucial that you play warm ups and exercises that work for you and not the ones that are simply easy and likable. As musicians, the only way we can improve ourselves is by practicing music that challenges us. You would be surprised what you can play if you commit to practicing it regularly. I guarantee that after one month you will have surpassed your expectations.
