Instruments: Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder
When I was in middle and high school, I can say that I was not the most talented saxophonist. Even in college, I had to play catch-up. I never had access to a teacher that provided me with the insight to develop myself. That was true until, my third year of higher education. My passion and drive to become a better version of my past flared. For me, music is a passion and my life, but it is secondary to me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
For more intermediate students I like to try and discover what kinds of music are interesting to them and find material that introduces new concepts that force them to reach out of their comfort zone, while still enforcing concepts they feel more comfortable with. I'm always looking to take on new students from all skill levels, as I've found teaching to be one of the best ways to learn and grow as a person. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Accordion French Horn Music Keyboard
Essentials are first. Note names, hand position, mouth position, air, posture, rhythms, sheet music, ear training - it's all important and needs to happen concurrently. Everyone has different strengths; some students are able to handle a large amount of information stacking while others need a more one-at-a-time approach. Music is all about doing several physical and mental things at once, developing self awareness in learning *how* to improve a skill, and myelinating the pathways in your brain for the fastest connections possible.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Ukulele Euphonium Tuba
Each student is unique and requires a customized approach to realize their goals. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to students where they all play the same exercises, etudes, etc. I help students find what works for them, often times we create our own methods or modify existing ones to suit the needs of the pupil. I believe a solid foundation in the fundamentals of music can be very helpful, familiarity with music theory/terminology/notation. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Music
Learning an instrument is a skill that requires practice and dedication, but making music is something that anyone can do. My goal with each of my students is to encourage creativity and truth in music as an expression, and to provide the technical practices that can maximize their ability to express themselves through their instrument. I find that students who are inspired by their personal appreciation for music practice more and achieve higher, and my goal is to foster an environment of learning and exploration to help them find themselves.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Drums Mallet Percussion
I know that music is about developing a vocabulary. Developing the ability to construct music without the need for a teacher is the direction I like to go in. A good teacher will only guide the student not dictate to them. Having an interest in many styles of music allows me the chance to be more open to teaching the beauty of writing a simple 3 chord progression or orchestrating for a full orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I'm a fun, enthusiastic music teacher who enjoys teaching students of all ages. With a degree in music performance from the Cincinnati Conservatory and in acting from the LA City College Theatre Academy, I bring a special skill set and experience level to my lessons. I've been teaching private lessons in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years. My passion is finding a way for each individual student to want to get the most out of their musical education. Sharing the love of music is a vocation that I take very seriously! Read More

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.
