Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Students (and parents of students) often have goals for learning piano. As an instructor, my job is to assist and encourage students to achieve these goals. Whether its to learn basic chords and simple songs, or to master certain complex musical pieces for a recital, I am eager to work with students to find out the best methods to improve and progress towards achieving their goals. When students show diligence, passion, and a drive to learn, my own excitement and passion to teach is even more stoked. Read More

I Try to get away from mechanism without joy. Everything has to be close to the music. Exercises to be actually doing them with a rhythm and time. Other than doing things musically, practicing in different times and intentions help a lot for the student to be open to play songs in different ways. Technique and theory are necessary tools. To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I know I'm doing my job when my student is growing not only in their abilities, but in their love of music! Ensuring that each student is learning repertoire that they enjoy at a pace that suits them is central to my teaching style. I love to find each student's strengths and celebrate them, as well as targeting goals for improvement in a warm, safe setting. I believe that music is meant to bring joy and healing to people, whether you are listening to it or making it. Read More

I focus on several different areas for every student, so that he/she can keep progressing in all areas of technic and musical knowledge: WARM-UPs, SCALES, MUSIC THEORY, SIGHTREADING, and PREPARED PIECES. And as all music students 'should', it's important to build a good habit of practicing with a metronome. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
For beginning piano students I always like to start lessons with keyboard familiarity, vocabulary and recognition. we play games and use rhythm sticks and learn patterns and placement on the piano. I also start with finger placement and strengthening skills with repetitive Finger Phrases and John Thompson basic levels 1 through 3 songs. I also teach students how to "FEEL" the key signatures with scales and drills that help them become familiar with the keyboard. Read More
Instruments: Voice Drums
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Vocalistss have different endurance thresholds but I strongly feel that novice to intermediate singers avoid singing for more than 20 minutes per session and no more than one hour to 90 minutes total per day. It is important to take intermittent breaks to keep your voice from tiring or becoming damaged. More advanced students who are interested in additional musicianship skills like ear training and sight reading should practice these objectives on musical instruments to maintain vocal health and stamina.
For example, advanced singers can practice playing different chord types and voicings on piano or guitar during their warm-up. Most vocal warm-up patterns move chromatically (in half-steps) so this allows the opportunity to practice both harmonic ear training and basic piano skills simultaneously. If piano or guitar is your second instrument then you can study theory and harmony on those instruments while you rest your voice. Rhythmic ear training can be accomplished with a drum pad and a pair of sticks. There’s no need to sing everything you need to practice!
Drummers warm up by playing rudimental sticking patterns for 10-20 minutes on the practice pad. If the student is studying traditional snare drum technique then the second part of the practice session would be playing etudes from an appropriate text. The third part of a drummer's practice regimen is practicing drum grooves (beats) on the full set. This would, of course, include the student's musical style(s) of interest.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents were actually quite musical and their library of recordings at home offered me a diverse palette of musical idioms to listen to while growing up. My mother was a tap dancer who performed on stage with her two sisters when she was a youngster. I remember her teacher my sister and I how to "hoof" to the song "East Side, West Side," which I can still perform to this day. Mom also enjoyed singing jazz standards from the American Songbook. She took voice lessons and I used sneak into the library to listen to the reel-to-reel tape recordings she made when she practiced her repertoire to the old Music Minus One vinyl discs. My father surprised us one day when he came home with a full set of drums. We had no idea that he played as a child. On a whim he had decided to revisit his love for Gene Krupa. I think many of my drumming ideas were inspired from watching him play traditional jazz swing.
