From my jazz training I help students improvise and create their own artistry. From my classical training I help students to learn to sight read, interpret the page correctly, play with a clean sound and play well in an ensemble. From my folk music training, I teach how to play from chord sheets, how to dirty up the sound to match the style and how to play in styles such as bluegrass, jazz, American fiddle, Irish and Scottish, Scandanavian, Klesmer or Classical.

I'm a musician who enjoys teaching just as much as I enjoy performing. I have sung in many operas, sung for many venues including school dances, sports games and on recordings. I have sung and played in multiple genres and continue to sing, perform, compose, teach and conduct. I want people to love music and get involved in music regardless of how far they intend to go with itbecause music can really bless someone's life. Read More

I believe that motivating and inspiring music students requires a different approach. I love to teach because its very rewarding to see when a student gets it after many trials and errors. Every practice session should have a goal, and practice goals are more important than setting a time. I believe that everyone has the capability to play something easy and fun if he/she is willing to put some time into the practice. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I would suggest that students start out practicing for a short period a few times a week (3 or 4 times is a good start), then gradually expand the length of the practice time as they advance and can play more music. For example, a half-hour 3 times a week is a good start. It also depends on the age of the student because the older the student is, the longer attention span they will possess for practicing. When I first started learning drumset, I would practice for a half-hour 3 times a week. Two years later, I was practicing for an hour a day 4 or 5 times a week. After I had been playing for 3 or 4 years, I would practice anywhere from 2 to 4 hours a day and normally every other day. Students NEED to practice every week else they will normally not see much progress over a period of time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I think before anything, your child should have a genuine interest in music. If they do not, there is no point in wasting their time and your money because they might take lessons at first but later they will not continue with it. If your child loves learning and can retain information, they should definitely be ready to take lessons. If they can manage to maintain attentiveness for at least a half hour, they should be ready. Of course, a good teacher will work to help them maintain their attentiveness!
When will I start to see results?
This depends on a number of factors: the student's level of motivation, the amount of work they put into practicing, and the amount and length of the lessons they take. The more they can retain information and hold interest, the faster the results you will see, and it could take as little as a couple of weeks. As far as seeing results for learning the basics, I would say on average, a couple of months to a year should be enough time for the student to successfully learn the basics for their instrument. However, it could take them less time, depending again on the student. Also, if the student has already taken music lessons before, that will help expedite their progress because they will already have some knowledge of basic concepts like rhythm and melody.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My teachers were always wonderful, but my own motivation ultimately led me to continue learning and playing music, at least as far as drumming is concerned. I was mostly inspired by the musicians I listened to and admired like Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and Bill Bruford. When it came to piano, there was one teacher in college who inspired me to want to advance my level of piano performance. My music history teacher played a sonatina by Scarlatti in class one day and later performed a whole piano concerto by memory at a school concert, which blew my mind. I was amazed at her level of memory because at most concerts I've been to, the pianist has always performed with sheet music.
