Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
For young beginners, I make use the method book that is being used at their school as well as supplying materials specifically for their instrument. As the student progresses, he/she will be introduced to solo repertoire as well advance method books for recital and competitive purposes. The objective is keep the student challenged but at the same time making sure the lessons are enjoyable. For intermediate and advanced students, I use the school curriculum at the school they happen to attend to meet the requirements of the music program. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Additionally, I like to work with scales and long tones in a more advanced way, expanding the range of the instrument and tone quality as we prepare repertoire. With students interested in jazz, either as their primary course of study or in addition to classical music, we focus even more on scales and arpeggios, aiming to master first the most commonly used keys and then expanding to 12 key mastery. I like to begin with a play-along book like Jamey Aebersold's "Maiden Voyage", stressing the beginnings of improvisation, then moving on to more advanced tunes and chord progressions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been playing piano since age 6 and clarinet since age 10. During my time at university I was taught to play all of the woodwinds, focused on pedagogy and music technology, and achieved many awards and recognition. My clarinet/woodwind pedagogy instructor was a student of Himie Voxman, author of many woodwind teaching method books. My university band was, at that time, considered one of the best in the state of SC, and was invited to play at the state music educators' convention in 2003. Read More

Since entering Berklee I have been able to not only study the material and concepts, but I have also gotten to study professors and how they educate students of all different backgrounds, all different levels of understanding, and how they navigate teaching a class with students who are all at different stages and levels of grasping material.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing plays a very essential role in learning any subject. Practicing helps complete your goals and dreams you have set in life. When a student is not with their instructor, it is very important to practice in a nice quiet environment. This will help the mind to concentrate and focus in areas that need the most help. Always warm up before playing any music because this is another opportunity to prepare the mind to focus on work and will help the mood of the surroundings. Accomplishments will be met during practice time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Honestly I did not choose my instrument. My music teacher started a program for 3rd graders and he basically handed us all instruments and told us he will teach us how to become professional musicians. I trusted my band director and he lead us to be great teachers. I started off on the flute, but I advanced on clarinet and this has became my primary instrument. I also advanced on the saxophone once I mastered the flute and clarinet. Its all about birthing something great through our students and that is music.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
At the age of 9 my music teacher introduced me to music and then taught me how to play three instruments. I became very advanced on the clarinet at a very young age. Within one year I was playing for the Chicago symphony youth orchestra sitting 1st chair. As he continue to inspire me, I had the opportunity to become apart of the Jamie Aebersold camp in Louisville Kentucky. He instilled in me dedication, determination, and how the heart ruled my life. Those three components help me keep music alive through out the 25 years that I have been playing my instrument.
When will I start to see results?
Learning to play a instrument can be a challenging task for some students. Having the right instructor teaching proper techniques can show a small improvement within a month of the student learning how to play their instrument. A student will not improve if they are only practicing in their scheduled lessons. Students have to practice before and after their lesson on their own time in order to improve on the assigned instruments. Parent involvement is very important because it will motivate the student to get better over time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Many people love music and Children will show their passion for music through their interaction once the music start to play on the radio. Depending on how he/she acts towards music, their interest level in playing a instrument, and how often they are joining musical activities will give a parent the ideal of private musical lessons for their children. A child can start as early as 5 years old to learn how to read music and at the age of 6 they can actually have the concept and be ready to play a instrument.
