Instruments: Piano, Voice, Synthesizer, Keyboard

Music teachers made a difference in my life. I probably would have given up on music if I didn't have patient and supportive teachers showing me the way. This is how I strive to teach music now. All it takes is for one person to say "yes" to a student who has frequently been told "no" or "keep trying!" Working in collaborative environments like theatre and choirs have shown me the different types of people and situations that come with performing of any kind. Read More

Life is bigger than just music. I enjoy my students not only learning what I teach them but enjoying themselves as they are learning. My job as a music teacher is not only to teach them but to also inspire them entertain them and motivate them. Music isnt just a craft but a form of art that can be therapeutic and enjoyable. and I want to see my students to be able to have the access to the spirit of music so that they may thrive and not see what theyre doing as work but as something that they love.

My spark of inspiration to teach comes from my years performing in college as part of my own band, as well as jazz ensemble and guitar ensemble. My first experience with teaching came from my first live shows with Art Wavey. As a songwriter, another duty often times overlooked is teaching the parts needed to complement the song. By explaining the theory behind the compositions in a clear, concise way, as well through direct representation through playing, I was able to convey complex ideas in a way that not only transferred to those being taught, but made it enjoyable as well.

I allow my students to take the lead in lessons, and help guide them to achieve their musical goals. I work with children and adults, and lessons are always fun and enlightening! It is very rewarding watching my students grow and stretch their range. I encourage students to challenge themselves, but I also do not give them more than they can handle. I go at their level, and they are able to learn at their own pace. Read More

I am very goal oriented in teaching. I use a similar methodology as learning a language. I prefer the Hal Leonard books for beginning students. Some of the major aspects I like to focus on are three areas being 1) Rudiments, Scales, and Chords, 2) Educational books, 3) favorite song repertoire. For students younger than 15, I recommend only 30 minutes unless students are more experienced and very engaged in their instrument. Students older than 16 can take more advantage of a 45 minute or even an hour lesson. Read More
