Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard
I've been a lifetime musician, and love finding unique and fun ways to motivate my students. I've worked with most styles of music before, and arranged music for many as well, so I'm very comfortable helping students with a variety of disciplines and interests. 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.

I started teaching in January of 2014 and havent stopped since. In the almost 4 years Ive been doing this, Ive enjoyed growing and developing as both a teacher and musician. I work with children and teenagers almost every day and have learned to adapt my teaching style to each students individual learning styles. Ive taught in multiple settings, including privately, group lessons, as part of a studio, and in a church setting with both an adult choir and childrens choir. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I assess each student in their first lesson to see their entrance level and motivation. From there we discuss goals and I cater each lesson for each student. For children and teens it is usually to feel confident singing, prepping auditions and performances. They usually have a lot of motivation and a willingness to take risks and know they are being taught in a safe space to explore. Adults usually come in for confidence, to sing on key in front of their friends to professionals who need an extra ear to refine their instrument and skills. Read More

It's always a great feeling to see one of my students successfully performing a piece of music that they have been working hard on. Sometimes a student may feel they are not progressing as quickly as they want to, but I always encourage the students that as long as they are progressing at any kind of pace, they're getting better. I always make sure that my student's are learning something new to keep them engaged. Read More

Our former students have gone onto win the Governors Award for Musical Theatre Performance, Tisch School for Performing Arts, and Westminster Choir College. While at Harrison High School & Washington Middle school, I implemented an after-school academy for the performing arts, which includes: a dance program, jazz vocals, musical theatre lab, and a Finale writing program which our students use state of the art equipment to write and record their own material.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard
Ive been teaching for the last four years and absolutely love it. Every student is so different and I love working with each student to approach music in a unique way, whatever their learning style may be. Since I have a broad background of performance in various instruments and styles, I think it is very important to support whatever musical interests my students have or wish to develop. To me, it is very important to really listen to what my student wants and figure out a way to help reach those musical goals together. Read More

I began teaching private lessons in college as a side job, but due to touring with orchestras I was unable to truly develop my own studio. I also volunteer taught students from low-income families through the Azusa Pacific Conservatory for two years. In the summers of 2010 and 2011, I took over a former teacher's studio of 20+ students while he toured in Europe. I have been working in National Parks for the past 3 years and have always brought my instruments with me. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at least thirty minutes per day and at least five days per week. Focus on the tools I teach each week while practicing. I usually will have a homework assignments each week which specifically will help them use the tools. I expect the student to know the homework assignments for the following lesson. It's important to practice the lessons because each lesson builds off the previous lesson. Practicing the lessons and also playing around on the instrument is the most important part of the learning experience.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Use your intuition and look for signs like natural rhythm. While listening to a song, see if the child can tap along with the meter of the song. Also, a good indicator is if they can remember the words to a song or hum or even whistle the melody of a song.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how you look at it. If you encourage your child to practice and take a role in the learning process, you'll see results that can be measured lesson to lesson as long as the student follows the lesson plan. Sometimes lesson plans may take a few lessons to learn, depending on how much the student practices on their own and practices the homework assignments. A good indicator and something I try to encourage parents and students to recognize if the student has learned the homework assignments well. If so, I encourage the student to move ahead on lesson plans.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Well, my first music teacher was my grandfather. He was a professional musician who started his music career in 1955 and got his first big gig in 1955 at the 500 club in Atlantic city and was there for about 5 years. He worked as a drummer along side of acts like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many others. He was the one who discovered that I had musical talent, encouraging me to learn the saxophone and shortly after, learn to play the drums, in which he instructed me to play along to Blues and Soul music. From there, I practiced on my own and taught myself quite a few instruments.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Well, in late middle / early High school I was a drummer in a band (with Doug Sabolic, guitarist from A Life Once Lost,) as well as another talented guitarist and bass guitarist. I picked the guitar up back then and started writing songs for the band. It was a really great "first band" to be in, because everyone in the band could switch up instruments and I began playing guitar more and more. Doug left the band so we reformed with me on guitar, the guitarist switched to drums and the bass player remained on bass (although I did briefly play lead guitar for a band he put together and played guitar and sang for a few gigs in 2006.) By this point, I was getting good on the guitar and became part of a group I truly loved playing with. The singer and rhythm guitarist was a top level professional BMX rider and I was semi professional, which gave us an instant following. We played good ol' knitty gritty Rock and Roll. A few of our songs were featured in BMX movies. Things started to slow down and Wiz (the rhytm guitarist and vocalist) and I really fell in love with the blues. Once I started playing blues, I learned a lot. I knew I'd be doing something in music, like teaching. I went to college to teach, so I started doing private lessons, then I was a senior instructor at a music school, teaching guitar, bass, drums, and novice piano. I love teaching and it was time to move on to another outlet in which I'm actively teaching the art of music to the younger generations, or older generations for that matter. It's never to late to learn MUSIC!!
