I teach music differently. When learning a skill, consistency equals success. Lessons have to be engaging, personalized and fun. When teaching my students, I find out what music they love, their favorite songs and artists. I find out what music they would love to learn. Then I let that guide my instruction by teaching the students songs they want to learn (while teaching chords, theory and ways to improve) starting with the easier songs to keep it fun and engaging.

Instruments: Voice
A lot of technical definition and mastery of emotional delivery. We also work on breathing, phrasing and song interpretation, song delivery and characterization. I push my students, but gently and with a lot of sound encouragement. Most of my students become obsessed with singing once they realize how good they sound when the proper techniques are applied. Professional business skill development is also introduced to advanced singing students. I'm rather animate about work done outside the studio as well as in lesson sessions. Read More

For beginning piano students, I use Alfred's basic Piano Library. This works well with young children as it has colorful pictures and easy to understand language. For Adults who are just starting to learn piano I like Alfred's basic Adult Piano Course. This course comes with audio CD's to accompany the student each step of the way. It makes it fun. For beginning Guitar students, we go over the parts of the guitar and learn how to tune the instrument. Read More

This love for music and education is what motivates me everyday to help my students achieve the highest levels of their abilities. I have performed in several types of music including Opera, Musical Theater, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, R&B, Folk, Spirituals and even Rap! Read More

I like to use a combination of methods and method books. For a beginning band student I would use Standard Of Excellence of Essential Elements. For guitar students I like to use a combination of methods, depending on the student. I like to use the Old Town School's book for their first songs or Essential Elements for guitar. I like to use a method for guitar that emphasizes reading notes instead of just tabs, and also emphasizes rest stroke and free stroke. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to after my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 40 years ago, and have been teaching students world-wide for the last 40 years. Encouraging creative ways to achieve one's goals is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student enjoy their progress. I've also have a unique way of teaching a student because each student is different. Read More

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.
