When I see a smile on someone's face in the presence of a musical accomplishment, the spiritual reward for that service is something I live for! To be able to help a student attain their goals requires a flexible teaching style, that can cater to every type of person. Positive affirmations are a key ingredient to helping a student feel good about they mile stones, but remaining realistic for the student at the same time allows them to make progress at their own pace, and feel good about it nonetheless.

Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
With beginning students, I start with the fundamentals of the instrument, including embouchure and finger technique, as well as the ability to breathe properly, which is fundamental to playing any wind instrument. I also introduce beginning students to basic musical concepts, such as reading music, and tailor the musical selection to their tastes or to whatever group they are playing in, most often a school band class. For more advanced students, I observe what areas the student needs the most work in and tailor the lessons specifically to dealing with those areas, as well as catering to their individual musical tastes.

One of my strengths as a teacher is adapting my teaching style to fit the needs of any student I'm working with. For some students, concepts come easily and their motivation is very clear, but for others, it's not always so easy. The biggest virtue that I've found to hold true throughout my years of teaching is patience. I treat all my students as (young) adults, and that means treating them with respect and understanding to the utmost degree. 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.
