Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet
I am not a teacher of "cookie cutter" lessons. I like to consult with parents and students before preparing an individually-tailored lesson plan for each of my students. It's my goal to engage students through music they already love, and (at the same time) introduce them to new music ideas and musical concepts/challenges. Building early repoire between teacher and student is crucial to building a working knowledge for performing music later on. Read More

The most important philosophical concept about private lessons is this: proceed in a way that will maximize your potential to achieve an excellent goal that you can call your own. Although I am not limited to one method book or another, I typically use Arban's for trumpet lessons - with other books and repertoire along with it. My background is Suzuki violin, followed by music literacy and transposition. So, whatever method book we select, we must consider basic furthering of direct musical perceptions, in addition to achievement of stated goals. Read More

In my last semester at Butler, I student taught at Avon High School for band and Franklin Township Middle School East for choir. Responsibilities at the former included sole direction of Concert Percussion, intermediate Symphonic Band, and AP Music Theory, and at the latter 7th Grade General Music and 8th Grade Mixed Choir. While at Butler, I was also principal clarinetist of both the Butler Symphony and the Butler Ballet Orchestras, and at one point principal of the Wind Ensemble as well. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I offer classes for adults and children according to the Seth Riggs and Brett Manning techniques, with the help of which the vocal apparatus and natural resonators are developed to the maximum. We study the theory for the vocalist, modern styles. We will practice a sense of rhythm, improvisation, work with a microphone. I work with picking, range, smooth transitions of registers, filling voice, vibration. I show a variety of vocal sounds and manners, helping to personalize the singing style. Read More

My approach is simple: find out what the student wants to gain from lessons with me, and work towards that goal. To do that I try to break the larger goal into simpler ones, so that students can experience the journey of learning something new, and can not only meet their goals but exceed them and walk away with something they can enjoy for the rest of their lives.

I focus particularly on comfort adn compassion on my lessons. I always want to help students develop and discover their own most efficient way of learning. I check in with students regularly before, during and after lessons to make sure I am tailoring the lesson to their needs as much as possible. I believe in positive reinforcement, and if my students aren't practicing, I need to make my lessons more engaging! Read More

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

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'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.

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.

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.
