Instruments: Voice Trumpet
Since I have so many ages and levels of students, I customize lessons to fit each student. Through feedback from the student (and sometimes with the help of parents) we figure out together what the students musical goal is. These evolve over time of course, but focusing on playing a certain song, learning scales, composing original music, gaining performing confidence (among other goals) are what I base lesson plans off of.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I combine the technique, expression, and performance practices from my teaching line of musical masters with more modern teaching methods to give students a well-rounded music education. I cater each lesson to the individual needs and interests of the student, while giving them a strong technical foundation and fostering their love of music. I use scales, arpeggios, and other methods to help build technique. I also want the student to enjoy what they are performing, so I often ask the student if there are pieces they would like to learn and do my best to find an arrangement suitable to their level of difficulty.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone
I began my teaching career as a private lesson teacher in 2000. Then I advanced into the private schools from grades k-12 from 2001-2003. During this time I taught children that had special needs. They became one of my best students. I taught in public schools as well in 2008. I did private lessons for six years in between from 2003-09. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
My experience with learning was fun. Since I was learning multiple instruments it was fun to tie everything together. I could say the best part while learning was understanding theory...that part of my learning opened up many doors for me musically. I started to understand why certain notes could and couldn't be played, why and how to use different scales. Those things are the same things I try to reveal to the students when the time is right.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet
I am passionate about teaching. Music education is but a second thought of most of our children's primary educational settings, so I wanted to create a learning environment that focuses on performance and execution. I am a composer and arranger, so I also like to infuse some basic music theory and compositional/improvisational techniques into my lessons. In short, I am trying to foster new artists! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
I have had a desire to be an educator since I was in second grade. The first music ensemble I directed was a men's choir at Huntley High School in Huntley, Illinois. I proceeded to direct worship choirs and bands at Carthage College for my four years at Carthage. After Carthage I became the music teacher at Fratt Elementary School in Racine, Wisconsin where I taught general music and directed the annual fourth and fifth grade musical. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
Every student is unique in their ability level, dedication to the instrument/craft, et. al; therefore, I cannot expect that every student will be the next Larry Combs. I do, however, expect that every student take their responsibility for practicing each week, coming prepared to lessons, and being a good student. In lessons, I am kind and personable as anyone should be, but I like to make clear my expectations right from the beginning. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet Oboe
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my students just wanted to get a little more knowledge on what they were doing on their instrument. I have gotten many compliments from music teachers because they said they can hear a difference in the students who were taking lessons. Just like any other activity kids move on from music. What I like to stress to any of my students is unlike ballet, cheerleading, football, etc... playing music is something you can do the rest of your life. It doesn't have to be on a professional level. You can play in a community band until you are 80 plus years old. Are you going to be doing ballet, cheerleading or football at 80?
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The music accomplishment I am most proud of is learning oboe and reed making. I started out as a sax player and didn't start oboe until I was about 22 years old. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done musically I didn't really see results for a year but my college professor told me to stick with it. He was a wonderful instructor. He explained how when learning a second instrument you progress quickly then plateau for several months because your musical knowledge has caught up to your current technical level. It took me year to find my center of pitch on oboe. Not to mention mastering reed making which is a never ending labor of love. My professor encouraged me to join the college wind ensemble and any band that would tolerate me lol. After retiring from the military and joining a local ensemble made up of school teachers and professional players, I played second oboe. The first rehearsal the conductor asked for a Bb from both of the oboes. We were so in tune the band let out a collective, "Oooohh!" At that moment I knew 16 years of study and performance really paid off.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When my son Ruben was 7, I took him to the local music store while I was buying reeds. The store owner is a percussionist and had a drum kit set up for kids to bang on to keep them busy. He told Ruben it was okay to play. While Ruben was playing and I was chatting with the store owner he mentioned, "He has a nice touch, most kids come in and bang on the drums. Ruben isn't doing that." I decided to get him lessons with an excellent local drum teacher. Ruben's teacher has commented that he has accomplished things at seven years old that his adult students have trouble with. I believe the instrument chooses you. Kind of like in Harry Potter when he was choosing a wand. When it came to saxophone, it just kind of spoke to me.

I'd like to take lessons from someone who an teach not only opera but belting. I need to learn how to do both in a healthy way and learn how to expand my range.
Janine
My 14 year old daughter is interested in improving her voice. She loves to sing and wants to sing in choir this year but thinks she needs some help to meet that goal.
Tyler
I've been a closeted singer my entire life. It is time I learn the mechanics of the voice in hopes of learning to sing better for my personal pleasure.
