I have been insfluenced and surrounded with music since childhood. I have experience in multiple aspects of music from performance to teaching and just about everything in between. I love working with students to achieve their goals. The most rewarding feeling for me is when my student feels they've accomplished a technique or method on their respective instrument. I strive to keep lessons joyous yet keep the student motivated to practice at home. Read More

My passion and dedication for teaching led me to design a highly successful personal method, which both the beginning learner and those with a more advanced level will discover in my own notes, the answer to what will lead them to develop and grow artistically with the guitar. I also use methods and books from Hal leonard, Mel Bay and Alfred publications, as part of the contents if necessary for the development of the lessons. Read More

I am a musician at the heart of it all. Ever since I was a youngin' I've always had a melody or beat going in my head. I started playing guitar at age 11 and took lessons for about 6 months. After that most everything was self taught or came from experience with playing with others. I picked up drums about age 14 and am very comfortable and confident on both instruments 13+ years later.

The spark in the eye as a musical concept clicks with a student is what drives me as a teacher. If I can lead the student to these discoveries then I am fulfilled as a teacher. Everyone has their own rhythm and will advance at different speeds. Some increase steadily while others make rapid progress and then plateau for a little while. Helping students stay motivated and avoiding the ruts is a big concern for me. Read More

Professional but fun. First we review the last couple of lessons, and then we do new- building upon what we have done earlier. Each student is unique, and I teach to them individually. I call it my Individual Music Program! I really get a kick out of seeing my students learn and progress along the musical staff, as the month go on., Often times I will get a brother and sister for lessons teaching them to play music together and become comfortable performing for family members and the public.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Efficient and consistent practice is the key to doing anything well. If one wants to improve then they must patiently and consistently build the skills they need to be successful. There are no shortcuts, especially when pursuing a life as a musician. To elaborate on what practice is and is not; practice is not singing a song multiple times until you like the product. Practicing is warming up: vocalizing, practicing scales, executing vocal techniques to improving mobility, flexibility, control and higher quality sounds. Then after one has successfully warmed up, which can take 30 minutes to an hour depending on the voice type, then practicing a song includes working on rhythms, pitches, translations if the song is in another language, and interpretation. Then practice small sections of a songs and identifying problem areas. Practicing is taking time to learn a song. The order should be Text/Translations, Rhythm, Pitches, adding words to pitches then interpretation. The process of practicing and learning a song is lengthy but rewarding, and the end product speaks for itself.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child is ready to take voice lessons if they show an interest and passion in it. One thing to remember is that not everyone grows at the same rate, so progress maybe be slow and gradual versus having instant growth. Honestly, true growth in the vocal field won't begin until after puberty has occur, and maturation of the vocal chords have begun, but anybody at any age can begin to build musical skills, a highly trained ear, performance confidence and an ability to interpret a song as to make it their own.
When will I start to see results?
Results depends on the age and how advance the student is already. I believe with consistent practice and instruction results can be seen in a month. Again, people grow at different rates so patience and encouragement is the key. Also, with understanding comes more confidence.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The instructors that inspired me to pursue music were my middle and high school choir directors. They were amazing, kind and talented instructors that instilled a love for music and teaching within you. They encouraged me to continually improve, and to keep the love of music no matter what field I went into, and to keep singing. This stuck with me throughout life since and I decided to pursue music as my career. It was my college voice teacher that inspired me to pursue performing. I didn't think I was good enough and he convinced that I was and established a love for performing within in.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master with the voice is consistency. Our voice are constantly changing and aren't the same everyday. Any little thing can cause are voices to feel different than what they would normally feel like. Sometimes we're tired, sick, emotional or are just having an off day, so we try to change our entire singing technique to compensate instead of doing what we know works. Its also hard to memorize sensations, good and bad. The good sensations lets us know when we are doing things correctly and the bad ones tell us when we are not. Trusting the good sensations and consistently sticking to them can be fairly complicated even though intellectually it makes sense. Consistency is what everybody, including high level professionals strive for, and is the hardest thing to do.
