Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching for over ten years. I started out with just a handful of students, and have since grown to have a student base of over forty students. I have taught all ages and all levels. I have seen many beginning students become advanced students over a period of years. I work with several families and have enjoyed the experience of seeing younger siblings of students become my students as well. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My Experience goes back to my early and young age. I started to take lessons with a private instructor called Manolo Parra, a wonderful flamenco and classical guitarist. After 3 years of taking classes with him I started to teach guitar and work as his teaching aid. At the same time I participated and helped in church choirs as member and choir director making arrangements for original compositions and others. Today I'm still composing, arranging and directing a musical group. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
At the very first lesson, I try to understand how far along in training the singer has come. From the very beginning we sing so I get to understand the singers voice. Their strengths and weaknesses. I then build lessons around each singers individual vocal journey to get them to their goals which we will discuss in the first lesson as well. I am trained in a European classical format as well as Broadway foundation that can help benefit any singer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Oboe
I sent my resume out to many places, and took my first college job in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia has very strict guidelines about what can be taught in the classroom and how teachers should conduct themselves. It takes a very flexible yet strong person while also finding ways to remain creative within strict guidelines to survive in this educational system. Here I learned the value of teamwork and critical feedback from my administration. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I fell in love with music at a very young age, and ever since have had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. I graduated from Manfield university with a bachelors in Music Education and teach many students in my off time. I am also a global recording artist, signed with Nashville Indie Records. I love teaching music. Its the best thing in the world to share my passion with an eager student... Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums
Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I'm sure my normal practice sessions don't look like the average practice session at all. After stretching, I will begin with an easy warm-up like a one octave scale, and build towards more difficult scales or warm-ups, usually for five to ten minutes. I'll take a short break, put the instrument down, and walk away for a couple of minutes. When I come back, I find one small thing (for example, a single difficult measure) and drill it over and over and over at a slow speed. Usually the goal is ten times in a row correctly, and if I mess up, I start the count over again. I do this for five to ten minutes, and then I set my instrument down again and walk away. I get a snack, work on a project, scroll social media for a couple of minutes, and then I do it over again. Short breaks keep me practicing for longer, as I don't burn out the fuse as quickly.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Violin is a notoriously difficult instrument on which to even get proficient. There are many moving parts that have to be just right, the bow weight, bow speed, finger placement, position, etc.. The hardest thing to master on the violin is truly your own patience. Nothing will teach you the reward of patience and hard work like learning a stringed instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Pick out your difficult spots before you practice, set realistic goals about those difficult spots, and take frequent breaks! Work in small chunks, because running through a piece over and over again early in the learning process only creates more problems down the line.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I will always love the technical satisfaction I get from executing a difficult section in a piece of classical music, my true love is blues and rock. I love improvising a blues solo because I like seeing what creative choices I can make on the fly, as well as the fun of jamming with other musicians in a more relaxed environment.
When will I start to see results?
Results are a funny asymptote. The more advanced you are, (usually!) the longer it takes you to see the results you're looking for. Beginners usually see results very quickly. Typically, you'll start to see yourself gaining skills within a week, with realistic goals and a consistent practice schedule, even if you don't have a ton of time to practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child says that they want to learn an instrument, I usually say to wait about three months, maybe more depending on how old your child is. Kids go through interests very quickly (and that's okay!) so you don't want them to lose interest the first time that they realize that learning an instrument is more difficult than they thought it would be.
