My teaching experience dates back to my Poland days, as I began teaching private lessons as a student of Music Academy of Wroclaw. When arrived to USA, I had my private studio in Chicago, where I lived for ten years. When I moved to Arizona, I continued to do what I love.

A child will not learn to play an instrument overnight or in one week, the commitment to practice and keeping track of that practice is essential. Nothing helps us learn better than encouragement, even when it sounds bad. Any teacher can tell if a student hasn't practiced or put forth a good effort. Sometimes, you do have to let them know you know, but you try to do so gently. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Keyboard Electric Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to my days working in Los Angeles working as staff composer songwriter, as I began to teach private piano and voice lessons part time 15 years ago I've found that a combination of blues and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy and progress their studies in piano, voice and guitar. The most important lesson is to have FUN! I encourage my students to work on their own compositions that promotes creativity. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin
I began teaching lessons while workibg on my Master's degree. While tutoring a classmate on guitar, I realized that I really enjoyed teaching and decided to pursue more students. My music therapy training gives me a unique approach to education enabling me to tailor all of my students lessons to their personal goals and needs. I enjoy teaching a variety of styles, from classical to contemporary, as well as giving my students performance opportunities to really be able to challenge themselves. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar
I've been teaching since 2005: Privately with students in their home or my studio, with brick-and-mortar studios, and with online lessons services (like Musika). It's most important that my students have fun learning their instrument, but I also emphasize daily practice and work on the fundamentals of whichever instrument he or she is learning. After all, if you don't work on the fundamentals, then you won't be able to play your instrument any better. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I wanted to teach in high school, however I never dreamed of becoming a professional player like I am now until I was in college. When I was a student at the University of Iowa I was surrounded by ambitious people like me and we pushed each other with the ultimate goal of becoming the best players we could be which ultimately resulted in several of us developing ambitions to play professionally.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes it does, it runs very deeply. My dad and stepmother are both music teachers, and low brass players. My dad was a collegiate band director, and my stepmom was a collegiate low brass professor for a long time. They have since moved on to different musical jobs with my stepmother teaching beginning orchestra and my dad moving on to an administrative role. There is also an extended part of my family that I do not know who play music in Nashville.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I cannot imagine life where I am not a musician.
The prompt requires me to have 27 words so I'm adding some down here, the previous sentence is the only one that matters here.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really enjoy playing within the New Orleans brass band style. It gives me an opportunity to open up and wail alongside a lot of creative license for the individual players. There is also a lot of improvisation which is my favorite part of a lot of music.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in trombone performance with a separate K-12 music education certification from the University of Iowa. I have always wanted to be a trombonist but I also have always had passion and felt a calling for teaching.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This will differ wildly depending on what literature I'm playing. There is a consistent part of my practice though which is my daily routine.
My routine starts with a couple short breathing exercises. I'll then play my first sounds of the day which are usually long, easy glissandos. Then long tones and lip slurs with a metronome. The focus is ALWAYS on quality, not speed. I will usually incorporate articulation and range expansion into my lip slur exercises to be more efficient. I'll finish off with a low and slow cooldown, expanding down into the basement of my range. The goal of this is to focus on being the best trombonist I can be, and building skills in places I think are deficient.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I think the Rubank method is good for a few reasons. I like their technical exercises, and I also like that it is progressive on a scale that is challenging but achievable in private lessons. With regards to brass playing, Arbans is really good for building technical facility, and Rochut is really good for building consistency with tone, flexibility and constructing musical phrases.
