Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet
For piano students, I like to use the Alfred courses. This method is great because they have courses of study for all ages and levels, and students can progress through several courses throughout their study. For flute/clarinet students, I like to start with either Hal Leonard's Essential Elements or the Rubank methods books. Once students have moved beyond the basics, I like to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their level. Read More

I feel like I've been a musician my whole life, starting when I was about 8 or 9 years old and singing in my first Barbershop Quartet and later joining the Chorus. My voice has been my main instrument and I have had the pleasure and challenge of singing in choruses and lead roles in musicals and operas, as well as many solos in major choral works, like the Bach Mass and Mozart's Requiem as well as works by Benjamin Britten.

As a teacher, I have been fortunate to teach students ages 4-65 from all backgrounds and skill levels. I began teaching private voice and piano lessons at a music studio while I was in high school.

I spent time teaching English in Uganda, music in India, and have taught ESL in the United States. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Ha.. Well, I think I was about 12 when my mom asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up. My answer was "I want to play guitar!". The first time I saw a band performing at a small rock club when I was 15 that feeling was fully solidified and it hasn't changed to this day.
It's been a long road of very hard work and compromise, but I wound't change a thing. I now travel the world playing my songs for others and get to meet kids as well as adults who are getting inspired by my performance, the way I was when I was 15. It's truly satisfying and fulfilling for me.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I had a childhood friend, who's dad had guitar laying around. I remember the moment I held it for the first time. It changed my world and I haven't gone back since.
Even though guitar has always felt like me calling, it was really just music as a whole. I loved hearing the different drum beats and directing what was going on in a song. My parents bought me a Casio keyboard when I was 10 and I used to try to figure out my favorite songs using the keyboard.
Guitar was always the most challenging instrument for me, and I think thats why I love it so much. It's a never-ending process of learning for me.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did! He is a huge reason why I am where I am today.
I still clearly remember my first lesson. I learned how to play a blues progression! I'm sure I wasn't very good, but he made me feel like I could do it. Without being pushy, he adjusted the lessons so I could at least play a part of what we were working on. He would have me bring in a song by an artist that I liked and would transcribe the song with me. Simplifying it so I could play along, all while showing me how it tied into music theory and the technical aspects of the instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe the best way to get the most from your practice is to play along with music that you love or want to learn. If it's scales, play along to a song and just keep up with the tempo. You'll be surprised how much more fun it is than playing along to the click of a metronome.
Transcribing songs is BY FAR one of the best ways to sharpen your skills. It helps develop your ear and is a great way to stay motivated since you can hear your results in real time.
I also suggest recording yourself when possible. It's tough to hear what is actually going on when you're focused on so many aspects of playing an instrument. Recording your practice can help you see what needs work and where you are excelling.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is showing interest in a particular instrument and they are old enough to physically take on the task, then it may be worth looking into. I've never been an advocate of pushing kids into playing instruments unless they themselves are wanting to play. I also believe, when it comes to guitar, kids under 8 or 9 years of age will have a tough time learning the instrument and it can hinder their interest in the future. Piano is always a good alternative in that situation.
If your child is interested in music, and wants to learn, that should be the right time to start.
When will I start to see results?
Every student is different, but usually you will see results within your first lesson. Of course this will be at a basic level but over your first couple of months you will start to feel comfortable with the instrument and begin to "connect the dots".
I strive to get as much done during the lesson so you feel accomplished and don't feel like you have a bunch homework to do. Practice will always speed up your development but should be something that you WANT to do.
If you are motivated to learn, and have a genuine love for music, great results are inevitable.
