Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga Music Djembe
I'm a dedicated teacher with a lifetime of experience studying and performing all kinds of music. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I learned to play drums from my dad, an important figure in the music scene there, and by listening to and copying the drummers on my favorite records. I began playing drums professionally when I was 14, first with my dad on his gigs, and then with other musicians in Milwaukee. Read More

I am a piano instructor who has been involved in the teaching profession for all of my adult life. I graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 1970 earning a Bachelor of Music Degree in Composition, Cum Laude. I was fortunate to go on to perform internationally, performing with the Buddy Rich Big Band, Nelson Riddle, Suzanne Somers, and many other notable singers and musicians. I have authored two jazz piano books which are available on Amazon and other online distributors, and have recorded two jazz CDs which are also available on Amazon. Read More

I'm a very optimistic person. I like to inspire my students, and watch them have fun and grow! Lessons should be a fun thing to look forward to. As a kid, I had many lessons and teachers that I did not enjoy going to, and I don't want that to be the case for my lessons. Learning a new musical skill is fun, and really fulfilling, and I want my students to feel that way when they work with me. Read More

What Books and Methods I use depend on whether the student has a particular style in mind from the beginning of their studies. I will often use the Frederick Noad series of Books with students who know they want to study Classical Guitar and then progress to repertoire when the time seems right. If they aren't sure of what direction they want to go in I will use the Hal Leonard or Mel Bay Books to get them started, and when I start to see what direction they want to go in I will begin introducing different songs and repertoire to see what direction they seem to be headed towards.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are 3 main ideas to practicing. The first is to maintain a consistent warmup routine, that is performed daily. The second, is to make sure practice is done at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Even if this consists solely of warmups, that is a win for the week. I believe in the student starting with what is doable, and then taking on anything additional as long as the stability of daily practice is maintained.
I understand that this is a bit of an intimidating requirement; however, working up to the goal of practicing 5 days per week, is completely doable and also up to the student to rate themselves on. I may step in from time to time to keep track of what's going on, but this is only to keep the student involved in their own self-initiated practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has a passion to learn music, and has taken initiative to start to do something musical, that is a great place to be coming from. Progress each week is attained as the student is able to channel that spark into practice. The child should also have an inquisitive nature, or should be encouraged to develop one throughout the process of lessons.
It's not easy to know if a young child is a "piano personality" for the long term, but in the meantime, I try to make thing fun for the student.
When will I start to see results?
Adult players will instantly be trained in a ground-up technique for playing jazz standards. One may see their way to playing a jazz standard from start to finish after the first lesson! We build upon concepts to keep the student learning something new on every lesson. I believe that development will happen before one knows it-- they will be able to use their playing to enrich their own life, and will have plenty of musical concepts to digest and enjoy as they bring them success in their studies.
After a few months, a student should be confident of a change. While I will do my best to give the student an idea of whether or not they are doing enough, I believe that at the end of the day, the student needs to make sure they are progressing from lesson to lesson, and then re-evaluate their progress as if becomes suitable. I expect that a student will be coming every week, so that the past week's concepts are further cemented, and can be developed one step further with every session.
If a student doesn't have time to practice, it's recommended that they still attend the next session. Why is this?? Because part of the process is having some inspiration. This is my job, and I do it with great passion, so please consider that this will be available for you if taking lessons.
