Instruments: Guitar Voice Music Acoustic Guitar
For my VOICE students, I believe in the 5 steps method. This consists in 1. Relaxing, 2. Breathing, 3. Vocalization, also known as Vocal Warm-Ups, 4. Sol-fa, 5. Song Preparation. My voice students know that their voices is the only instrument that cannot be bought and replaced, and for that reason, we all need to take good care of it and educate it so it lasts forever. For my GUITAR students, I start with left and right hand exercises so the fingers get articulated and well trained. Read More
Instruments: Voice
There are two major philosophies I've uncovered when teaching lessons. 1. The use of descending lines to erase the "break" in ones voice. Early while studying, myself, I was taught to sing ascending, trying to maintain the same sound - this is defeating. Rather, bringing the top down is the "way to go." 2. Keeping the sound forward makes changing from one vowel to another quite easy and palpable. We generally begin by humming, getting vibrations away from the throat and into the front of the mouth.

When my father saw my interest in the guitar, he put me in guitar classes because as he said, I had to "learn properly". Soon after my first lesson I realized I didn't learn very conventialy, l. I just wanted to learn the songs that I love. Flamenco Guitar and singing is an art for passed down from father to son/daughter. This is how I teach. I get to know the student's soul for music and I deliver to them the ability to instantly express themselves. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard
I strongly believe in having an open and honest relationship with my student. I think both should know upfront what the expectations should be, such as how long they will practice, what proper progress and growth looks like, as well as what they need from me to help them succeed. More than anything, I want to help my students grow their love for music in any way I can, and that might be different for everyone but that should be the priority. Read More

I use the teaching method as previously described, and try to tailor my style for each student. Everyone learns, practices, and progresses uniquely -- so it's part of MY job to figure out the best approach to help each of my students. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
The same thing applies when a chord comes up. It becomes a perfect world for the student because the answers in playing by ear are in the book. The student can take a peek. Then get back to listening to the CD and learn to play by ear. Along with reading music and learning to play by ear, my students also learn to improvise. My lesson materials include different books from Hal Leonard and Alfred publishing. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding that seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I honestly have no idea what I would be doing. I don't remember being enthralled with anything other than music. And I think that if you're going to pursue music as a career in any aspect you need to ask yourself a very important question: Will I be able to live with myself if I DON'T pursue music. It can be extremely challenging to do. You may be living off ramen for a while, but if you're dedicated it is possible to make a living in music. You have to know that music is the only thing that you can do.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing classical music. I enjoy the challenge that comes with developing the technical skills to beautifully execute a piece of music. I love the type of emotion that is evoked from it. It can theatrical, energetic, crushing, and tragic. That isn't to say that it is better than any other type of music, but that it's different. I honestly think that broadening what I study has given me a another perspective on other styles, genres, and eras of music and a better understanding of them as well.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I've only studied guitar. I do have a strong affinity for electric bass guitar. The style of playing and the approach is drastically different than how one would tackle guitar, but it is extremely fun to play. I have played bass in bands before and it has been extremely enjoyable. I have dabbled a little bit on drum set and I've really loved that. Developing extremity independence is extremely challenging but it helps you understand rhythm in a VERY different way than how you would understand it on guitar.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have had musical family members. My great grandmother apparently could play piano extremely well. She had the ability to hear a piece one time and play it perfectly. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet her. My father used to play drum set, but by the time I was born he had given up music to support my mother, my siblings, and myself. So, I never really had anyone in my life that was a musician. My drive to pursue music was purely of my own, but thankfully my parents were very supportive of my interests.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a defining moment for me. I had been studying electrical engineering and attempting to get into the computer graphics school at Purdue. I was also performing with some friends I had made and we started running a music venue and doing some recording. It had hit me that THIS is what I wanted to do with my life. So, I started studying theory, working on my technique, and otherwise getting prepared for my entrance exams and audition at BSU. What was tough was leaving all my friends at Purdue behind to go into something in which i was totally alone, but it was worth it because it was precisely what I wanted to pursue.

I'm interested in lessons for my 7 year old daughter...she is really interested in singing/performing/playing music, but is nervous her voice isn't good enough, thx
Ariella
I'm not good at anything really. I really want to start being outgoing and happy. I find happiness in music and I hope to learn how to sing and other things in life.
