My teaching experience dates back to my senior year in high school when I started tutoring younger guitarists in the jazz band. That was 8 years ago. Since then, I've been teaching a number of students in their own homes, online, and even in my band's recording studio! Read More

Instruments: Clarinet

My main goal as a teacher is to instill a passion and appreciation for music, as well as to teach a sense of work ethic. I don't expect that all of my students follow on to becoming a professional musician, however I do expect that my students achieve realistic goals and progress at their own individual pace. I try to not be overly formal with my students- I want them to feel comfortable and un-intimidated. Read More

Instruments: Voice

My teaching experience started my freshman year of college, with one girl who was working with me on a Community Theatre production, and her mother wanted me to start teaching her some voice lessons. Since then, I've had enough interest from other local students that I've been able to open up my own voice studio, and have rented out a private studio space for the past 2 Summers I've been home from College.

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

Throughout the years, I have gained a great deal of knowledge about drumming and music in general. A passion of mine is sharing that knowledge with students of all ages and I know I have a lot to offer. My experience includes meeting various famous musicians, which was very inspiring. It changed the way I looked at my life as a musician, my technique, and style. These top notch drummers and musicians gave me great advice that I'll never forget. Read More

Instruments: Piano

Alfred Publishing piano courses (both older and newer), Faber and Faber, Bastien, Edna Mae Burnam, and the Hal Leonard course have all been among my pre-published methods that I have used over the years. I have also adopted some technic content from elsewhere. For example, the Zion Conservatory of Music, where I taught from 2004 to 2018, uses a couple of different customized scale patterns for first- and second-year students. A book I have used with intermediate students is a Conus Russian piano method edited by James and Susan McKeever, who taught the Parkside piano pedagogy courses. Read More
