Much of my training techniques come from my experience with Voice Teacher, Dr. Joseph Collins (PhD, Vocal Pedagogy), whom I studied with while living in Nashville. Dr. Collins made clear to me many secrets to developing proper vocal execution and placement that had been a mystery before. I gained much more awareness and understanding of my own voice. I have enjoyed many years of private vocal instruction while at universities (Kent State University, Belmont University) and have learned good and valuable practices from different professors.

I approach teaching from a place of understanding. The last thing anyone wants is to be frustrated by the thing they're passionate about! Not everyone learns at the same pace, so if a student is struggling with a passage or technique, I'll set realistic goals to motivate them to improve their skill in a way that entices them to continue. Whether it's breaking up a song into sections or slowing down a complicated solo until we nail the right notes, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Read More
Instruments: Voice Drums
For a beginning student on voice or drums, fundamentals will be incorporated into their warm-ups each lesson and throughout the week. Each student has a reason for wanting to take lessons and incorporating that into the lessons will give the student more drive to practice. If a student discovers something while playing or doing warm-ups, we will continue down the road to see where the student's hands, voice, or brain want to take them. Read More

I meet the student's needs and structure the curriculum accordingly. I have books and resources, as well as recommended YouTube videos to to prepare for lessons. I'm a proponent of Positive Feedback and have training in Responsive Classroom. Musicians are diverse learners, and it is essential to identify a student's learning style, best method of organization, and personal joy for music. Here are a few of my favorite Voice Pedagogy Books; Read More

Music is fun, no matter how tedious the learning process may be. With practice and determination, a student will be able to progress and love their instrument even more. Each week we will determine realistic goals for the student. If progress is made, I may come up with something creative ways to reward my students for their work. As long as I inspire and touch the lives of my students, I will feel rewarded as well. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It's best if you can practice everyday for at least 15-30 min for beginner in a quiet room without any noise or visual distractions. Try to avoid practicing just the day of your lessons. Some weeks you just aren't going to get hardly any practice, but that is ok. You should still do your lesson anyways. We can review the material and get some new things to work on as well. Practicing should become an automatic habit. 30 min before dinner, or 30 min as soon as a student gets home from school. Practicing everyday is key, and practicing the hard spots first very slowly and then increasing the speed will help learn the hard spots. Then play through the entire song.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children are ready to start lessons when they can count, and they know their left hand from their right hand. Children that start young develop a natural talent for the piano, but children that start older can progress faster.
When will I start to see results?
You'll be learning to play songs the first lesson. Learning to play an instrument is a very slow process to become really good. A professional musician has practiced at least 10,000 hours. Most students get quite accomplished between 3-7 years. The longer the student takes lessons, the better they will be. You have to keep at it for a LONG period of time with very few breaks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My teacher taught me about music that I had an interest in, and a variety of styles. He also taught me about improvisation, harmony, rhythm, and compositions. He didn't just teach me the notes on paper, he also taught me about the harmony, form, and history behind the pieces. He also was interested in teaching me the songs that I wanted to learn to play.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose piano to be my main instrument because when you play the piano or keyboard, it sounds full and complete. The piano is a polyphonic instrument which means you can play many notes at the exact same time. You get melody, harmony, and bass all at the same time. Other instruments like violin, saxophone, flute, voice are monophonic and needs to have accompaniment to make it sound full. The other reason I chose piano, is that it's a lot easier to compose and arrange on the piano and keyboard. Many top film composers, TV Composers, and Producers create all the tracks using recording software and several different instruments samples to create "Scores" that you hear in movies, tv, and famous songs.
