Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching background stems from being taught as a 4 year old and seeing the passion of those who invested in me and my future from a young age. I was encouraged to have a strong practice routine on a consistent schedule so I try and instill the same practice in both my vocal and keyboard students. I believe music is supposed to be a fun experience and always look for ways to implement fun exercises so that the passion for learning is increased. Read More

I attended California State University, Long Beach for my master's degree, and The Ohio State University for my bachelor's. Though I am mostly seen playing a saxophone, I am classically trained on clarinet, flute and even oboe! I play a wide variety of styles of music, from jazz to pop, and perform and record with big bands, small jazz groups, pit orchestras, and much more! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
A music student should be able to practice and perform as though no one is watching, and that it is simply the spontaneous expression of the soul! For this, I have to curate material and instruction so that it is authentic and engaging to the student - this is what unlocks the truest connection to musicianship. I believe that high-level training is the diligent pursuit of quality and detail - and that talent is simply how one approaches ANY new material. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz music is my favorite to play because it stimulates the brain in many different ways. I was introduced to it at a young age and immediately took interest in how all the notes were being played. When I found out that they weren't looking at music when playing, I thought it was the best thing I'd ever learned! The art of improvisation is very complex and it's an ever-growing form of music. The interaction between all the members playing in a jazz setting is one of the coolest things to witness once the genre is explored in the slightest.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
When I began saxophone, I knew I wanted to eventually play all the different types and with the help of my school's music program, I was able to before going to college. I started with the alto saxophone which is of course, the most popular amongst students. Then I went on to play the Baritone sax in marching band and tenor and soprano after that. While in University, we were challenged with the task of mastering other woodwind instruments that helped expand our canvas of sound. I've also experimented with drum technique and basic piano.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music doesn't run in my immediate family. It does, however, have influence over a small group of cousins. The same cousin that inspired me to pick up the sax also sings and plays guitar. I learned a lot from him by learning from ear and not being intimidated by playing in front of others. I use to watch him perform with rock and funk bands. His dad is also the lead singer in his own band. They play often at different venues around the city I grew up in. Their family is a large part of my musical journey.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in music once I learned it was possible through the knowledge of a professor from Western Michigan University. He and a group of nine played a brief show to demonstrate their skills and talk to us about the different degrees offered at WMU. We bought their CDs from them and got to talk to them directly after the show. I had such a revelation that day because I never knew that people could go to school for something like that, let alone make an entire career from it.
