I usually start all of my piano students from the Alfred series. Those that are more advanced will complete the curriculum quicker.. Alfred seems to offer a more detailed instruction technique. It offers step by step instructions. The student can almost teach himself. For guitar I use the Everyday guitar method. This method introduces each string at a time. By the end of the book, you will be playing songs on each string. Read More

Im a devoted music educator who cares about my students personal growth and development as musicians. In 2010 I graduated from Evangel University with a Bachelors of Music Education degree with a concentration in strings. I have performed all over the U.S. in my collegiate touring orchestra and even had the opportunity to go to Europe and perform there as well. I have also been selected twice to perform with the Trans Siberian Orchestra as a part of their pit orchestra and have been involved as an active musician within my community. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been teaching violin and viola for the last six years. My main goal is to make sure that student is having a great time learning how to play an instrument while making sure the student understands good practice habits. I want to make sure that the student has fun in their lessons and I make it my main priority. If the student wants to learn jazz, I am well versed in jazz and can teach jazz. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass
I use a very concise methodology in my instruction. I evaluate the students level, from there I make a step by step guide (of selected piece and etudes) to show the student their progress into the next level. I also encorperate ideas in theory, history, and ear training. Also if the student has yet to learn how to read musical notation. that will be taught along side with regular instrumental lessons.

Instruments: Violin Viola
I like to see where each student's natural talents and personal desires are headed and act as a servant leader to get them there. Students are encouraged to pursue music in the way that will keep them engaged reaping maximum benefits whether that be to build parts of their brain that would have otherwise lie dormant, or become the best solo performer they can be. Acknowledging and celebrating even the smallest wins is what brings the most joy in my tutoring sessions. Read More

I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs quite deeply in my family. On my fathers side, most of my family sang, played piano, or played violin. My father actually holds a couple of higher education degree in music education, was a band director, and professional musician himself. On my mothers side, there is not quite as deep a heritage of musicians, but she played the accordion throughout high school and her father played the flute for a fair amount of his younger days. Music always played in the house, and from a young age, I was pushed to be in as many musical productions as I could be in ranging from choir, string orchestra, piano, or band.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew from a very early age that performing professionally is what I wanted to do with my life simply because I could not see myself doing anything else. Nothing in my life has ever brought me as much joy and meaning as performing and witnessing the impact that live music can have on an audience member. It is truly spectacular. As I grew older and began teaching music to younger students, a similar level of joy washed over me witnessing students understand concepts, succeed in their experimentation, and learn how to experiment. There is truly nothing else in the world like it.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Depending on the age of the student and skill level of the student I will assign different etude books. As for technique books, I tend to use the same things for all students. James Thompson's buzzing basics, Arbans, Clarke, Gekker Slow Practice, Schlossberg, Ciciwicz flow and long tone studies, and a LOT of playing by ear/call and response.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The top bucket-list piece of music to perform is the Rite of Spring. There is some thing so incredibly visceral in the Rite that is simply not found in any other pieces. If you have not had to chance to hear it, go look up the Montreal Symphony with Charles Dutoit conducting. There is simply nothing like it.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have asked myself this question many times over the years, and I truly do not know. Music saved me and gave my life purpose from the ripe old age of 12. There is nothing else that gives me anywhere near the same pleasure as music. If I were to live my life without music, I would likely do whatever odds and ends jobs to make ends meet while searching for purpose in life. Which I truly believe would lead me to music.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degrees are in music performance. While I do care deeply for my students and think teaching is the biggest responsibility every musician has to their community, my first love is performing and better myself as a musician. I cannot teach an experience that I do not have.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice sessions have changed a lot over the years and I would argue are in a constant state of flux. Through all this change, the skeleton for my sessions has stayed the same. Warm up my body through stretching and breathing exercises. Calm my mind before the first note. Turn on a drone and solfege some basic scales to warm up my ear. Warm up my sound. From there, I will hit whatever technical issues I need to work on. I put a lot of emphasis on flow/connection between notes and articulation flexibility.
