Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet French Horn Piccolo
My experiences in and out of the classroom continuously pushes me to evolve my philosophy and teaching style. Music is not just about singing or playing the right notes and lyrics. It is about making connections from most personal experiences through the most universal language. This is the kind of experience I hope to share with my students through music in a safe, challenging, and creative environment. It doesn’t matter whether students are seasoned musicians or first-time singers. Read More

During my University days, I tutored many students in academics and found that I deeply enjoyed connecting with each student and that I had a natural talent for doing do. I began teaching Music in 2006 in music studios. I teach in my own studio and in homes where I continue to do so. I am a Concert Band Director having done so for 10 years in a private school which was a great joy for me. Read More

I believe that music provides opportunities for students to learn in ways that they will never experience in an academic classroom setting. Music provides a gateway for students of ALL ages, social, and economic backgrounds to have obtain a feeling of gratification and immense sense of pride. I worked in an incredibly hostile environment with a skeleton team of dedicated teachers that relied on each other and our innate desire to educate to strive for our educational goals. Read More

I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Today is the perfect time to take up a new instrument! I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), Penn State (We Are!), and the University of Southern California (Fight On!) Trumpet playing can be broken down into 3 basic principles: TONE, TECHNIQUE, and MUSICALITY. I will work with you to design a program to target each area and push your skills and achieve your goals! I believe music is something deeply personal and a gift that should be shared with others. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Guitar demands good technique, especially in the left hand (for right handed players). Getting used to playing clean chords and changing chords cleanly, as well as playing clean scales and melodic lines, certainly takes a good deal of patience at first. The good news is it rewards faithful practice in spades and is eventually like riding a bike.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
The student that I am most proud of to this day was a young lad named who started drums with me at the age of 4. After 6 months, he performed in a recital playing a whole popular song start to finish using grooves we worked on together, as well as fills of his own inspiration. He had such a serious, and determined look, taking full ownership in his performance, and I could not have been more proud.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
For my college senior recital I got to compose an hour-long classical concert which was performed by over 100 of my friends, professors, and classmates from the previous 4 years. One piece was performed by an extremely gifted professional violinist who occasionally played with our orchestra, and it left the packed house and me completely speechless.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love guitar because you can sing and play songs with it, take it anywhere, and experience a rich repertoire in almost any genre. It’s lyrical, rhythmic, plays well with others, and serves as an excellent writing and composing instrument.
When will I start to see results?
I believe you improve every time you practice well, so results are just 30 minutes away. When you practice well multiple times a week, you’re putting yourself into the dangerously fulfilling position to improve all the time. But take a week, a month, a year off, and you’ll need to work your skills back up.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first music teacher was Brady, a talented drummer, bassist, and guitarist in the marching band, jazz, and funk genres. He was patient, exposed me to new styles, and gave me the fundamentals I needed and still use to improve myself.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I have seen 4 year olds have a blast and learn new skills as well as 10 year olds who seem to dread everything about lessons and practicing. At any age, if someone has a joy of learning and motivation to improve at their instrument, they have what it takes to have a successful lesson experience.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Go slow, as slow as you must to play the section confidently. After three flawless takes in a row, then and only then should you increase your speed, and repeat. Now you can be confident you are actually training your mind and your muscles to get better and not teaching them to play poorly.
