My teaching style is casual, friendly and positive. Eveyone progresses at a different pace, so I set realistic goals and use different approaches based on the various learning styles -- visual, tactile and auditory -- that work best for each individual. I play along with you in unison, in accompaniment and in duets, starting with the very beginning lessons. I want even the simple things to sound good when you play them because that is what motivates you to keep learning more and more. Read More

I started out playing cornet in elementary school, switching to Baritone horn in middle school and switching to tuba in the high school band. I also began playing bass guitar in those high school days in the late '60s and early '70s.

Creating music fueled by passion and the desire to express the otherwise ineffable emotions is the most powerfully freeing experience I think anyone can have, and it's my joy to enable others to enjoy it Read More

I believe it is important to set long term goals and to work with the student at every lesson to help achieve these goal. Not only through instruction, but through example as well. I believe it is enormously important for the instructor and the student to play music together at some point in each lesson. In this setting, it gives the student a chance to develop his or her own style as well as pick up on the nuances of an experienced player. Read More

I incorporate a students favorites songs (pop, rock, country, etc.) into a students lesson so that they really want to learn and then infuse music theory so that it isn't boring as I'm sure many of us had with certain piano teachers or others in past experiences. Read More
