Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Conga Latin Percussion
For beginning guitar I start out with Chris Parkening: classical guitar book...learning finguring styles, rudiments, and notes. We then go into various techniques and develop song repetoire and chording and strumming styles. For beginning piano I start with level one Hal Leonard book for beg. piano and various beginning classical composers: Beethoven, Mozart, Tchakovisky, Jazz, etc. . I split this class into musicianship-learning notes and reading music, fingering and scales, and theory. Read More

Teaching is uniquely tailored to the needs of the individual. Part of what keeps teaching so exciting over the years is the constant discovery of new methods and techniques that will reach the unique needs of each new student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love watching my students develop their passion for music! And so, I do my utmost to challenge each student as much as possible at their own pace. We will set goals for the students in every lesson. Hitting certain milestones help the students to feel motivated, and want to push themselves more. Each student is different and so they learn differently, I do my best to learn from the student and tailor my teaching style to their particular learning style. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am a professional musician that has successfully thrived in Los Angeles and Nashville. I have Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theater from AMDA. There I learned the importance of learning from actual working professionals, not just teachers. The information I provide to my students is fresh and inspiring because I am practicing what I preach daily in my life. I've made a living off of music for the last 8 years in many different fields: Recording, Demo Singing, Acting, Songwriting, Voiceover, and Playing live. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I not only teach the students looking to learn their craft, but also those looking to better their ability. My goal is to impart my knowledge and love of music, theater and speech to all of my students. I now teach in my fully equipped home studio in Elk Grove, CA. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
For beginners, I like to start with the Standard of Excellence book 1, and intermediate students with book 2. The trombone is such a versatile instrument that there are tons of different styles of playing to practice. Depending on the student's level I will build curriculum for them. We will also play duets together, because it's very important to learn how to play well with others. Scales, lip slurs, and other exercises will be implemented as well. Read More
Instruments: Voice
As a performer, I've taken lessons of different styles from a notable group of teachers and coaches who are performers as well! I've had the privilege of studying under mentors such as Michael Sirrecchia (multi-award winning director and original cast member of A Chorus Line), Mark Mullino (multi-award winning director and vocal coach), Brian Schexnayder (known for his role in Turandot and The Metropolitan Opera) , Olivia Emile (Actress, Producer, and Voice Teacher), and Jon Almosara (Independent Music Artist and Vocal Coach).

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Since I believe that building a relationship with my students is fundamental to my effectiveness with them, typically, I'll ask the student how they are doing, how their past week has been for them. if they have a crisis, I give them time to vent and decompress--if all is well, we'll do a brief social catch-up, we smile and get into the lesson...
Structurally, my protocol after that initial socializing is:
1-- I ask if everything we discussed/practiced last week made sense...
2--If not we review the questioned items...
3--I ask "What did you take home from last lesson"
4--They demonstrate --and I assess their progress...
5-I themn move into my lesson plan, couching it in terms of whta was touched on lasrt week....
6--We close the lesson with an assignment of how to take the skill/technique of today's lesson into actual practice at home, This typically involve me demonstrating on via a phone video camera...
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Msaters in related to the field of Education
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have the grace every weekend of being a choir director who helps choristers enjoy the delight of singing their hearts out while we as a group help feed the hearts and souls of the folks who come to the table...
I have published scores of songs that have become staples of weekly Sunday services...
I have over my teaching career helped hundreds of students express their joy in song and in their instruments...
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Indeed, having taught for 30 years+, I have proudly watched many of my students become professional musicians and teachers themselves...Such is a joy indeed to see student live their passion....
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
As with any instrument, with the guitar and the voice, it is not about simple "getting eh right note.." That's eh easy part--IT's COMMUNICATING the intent and power of that note and the passage that is the true purpose of this and any art....
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Through my education I have been exposed to all of these approaches, and they each in their way have influenced my rather eclectic pedagogical philosophy.
My first task with a student is to carefully assess where thy are, how thy learn, and what they want to learn----From there, I draw from each of thse methodologies the techniques and approaches that best meet each student's particular needs.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I've always been a singer, so choosing an instrument that would allow me to also sing was definitely a more logical choice that tuba...
My parents were not wealthy, so a $100 guitar was more realistic than a $5,000,piano, so, guitar it was!
