For teaching children, I approach teaching as to the execution of everyday and fun pieces, so that the child learns by, and in turn I introduce aspects of academic learning necessary to create a solid base. In the same way,with young and adults, I make a work placement of the necessary techniques for a good and fast implementation, from technical learning exercise repetitive and daily ices, as well as the elaboration of a plan that involves their daily chores.

I was always able to sing. I started piano in the 5th grade. I played trumpet in high school and made all state band 3 years in a row.

Before teaching I was always sharing ideas and my approach with my peers and anyone who wanted to listen. My jump into teaching music as a job started after high school teaching drum lessons at Music & Arts and All About Music & Arts in the Houston area. After teaching at Marching Percussion camps for Memorial High School and Waltrip High School among others I decided to go back to college at Blinn in Brenham. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience began while studying piano performance at SFA! At first, I was a little concerned with how I would manage as a student teacher; however, as the semesters went by, I fell in love with the process. I’ve grown to learn how each student is different, not only in their personalities, but the way they process what’s in front of them. The time they take to learn their material is very important to me, and the more I see them grow, the more accomplished and proud I feel as a teacher! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Recorder French Horn
I have over twenty years experience teaching music students of all ages. I started teaching music students in 1986 at a Jr. High/High School and prepared all choral students for both solo and ensemble festivals and large group competitions. I also prepared vocal jazz ensembles, and other larger instrumental and vocal ensembles for competition, thoroughly enjoying the sharing of their talents and pulling out the best music they had to offer.

Instruments: Piano
I started teaching the piano right after I got out of college. From that day, the number of students began to slowly grow. I am always willing to go to the students' home for lessons as most students prefer that method, but I also have my home studio to teach from as well. Seeing the encouraged looks of my students always gives me joy to see that they are learning and even enjoying the music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
I have over 10 years of experience as a private instructor as I began teaching private lesson to middle schoolers as a senior in high school. I continued teaching younger musicians as I worked to earn my B.A. Music and M.Ed.. I am currently a high school band director and music teacher. When teaching total beginners, I like to start with a method book. I also spend a great deal of time discussing the importance of breath and practicing breathing gym exercises. Read More
Instruments: Drums
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The decission to be a professional musician came very gradually to me. I was always told to have a back up plan and that there is no money to be made as a musician, so I went the typical route of getting a "real job". However, It's important to me that I be passionate about my work, and there is nothing that I am more passionate about than being involved in music. So, I made the decission to be a full time professional , and I have never been happier!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
All of my uncles can either sing and/or play guitar. They were the first to teach me about music and what the drummer's role in a band is. Family gatherings were always a lot of fun when I was growing up. They would often turn in to jam sessions and sing alongs!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play guitar too. It was actually the first instrument I ever tried to play, but it didn't quite come as naturally to me as the drums. Eventually, in my teenager years I picked the guitar up again as I wanted to start writing songs. I also enjoy singing. I think being a singer and a guitarists helps me be a better drummer because I can uunderstand the members of my band better.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I worked in the the tech industry for a very long time. I was relatively successful, and made decent money. So, I could do that. I probably would be doing that if I wasn't a musican, but I'd much rather be making music any day!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy all styles of music. I think I'm probably best at pop and rock music. One of my bands performs a tribute to The Beatles which is a lot of fun! The songs are classic and the drum parts are some of the best ever imagined.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Probably "Aja" by Steely Dan. It combines everything that I enjoy about music: tension, polyrhythms and simply a great melody and memorable lyrics. The drums were originally performed by Steve Gadd, who is a master at using technique and still allowing music to "feel good".
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always start with a warm up on a practice pad. This is a good way to warm up and to "check in" with your body. From there I like to review techniques, exercies or music that has been worked on previously and take inventory on progress that has been made and what needs to be worked on. I end every practice session (And lesson) with a few minutes of creativity. Simpoly play whatever is on your mind and in your heart!
