For very beginners, I will typically start with a basic method book, such as Hal Leonard to learn the essentials of basic technique. For adults or students with more experience, I will cater my lessons specifically to each students interests and goals as I find that this is the best way to keep students engaged and excited to learn. I teach music theory along with anything we learn in a lesson so the student can apply it to material they are already familiar with and interested in. Read More

I started teaching two years ago at a private lesson studio in Denver called My Music Skool. My main focus was on piano and saxophone. Now I teach privately as a freelance musician. Two points I emphasize when teaching are practicing at least once a day no matter how long you play and learning what inspires you. There will always be some sort of theory I sneak in whether it's learning scales or building technical skills that will build confidence and ability, but if these devices aren't being applied to the type of music that inspires the student, then learning music becomes discouraging instead of fun.

I have taught instrumental music in public schools for 5 years which has included teaching grades 5-12 in subjects such as beginning band, beginning orchestra, intermediate band, intermediate orchestra, marching band, percussion ensembles, and small group/individual instruction. I have been teaching private lessons in drums, piano, and concert band instruments for 10 years. I have been a performing member of rock bands, concert bands, orchestras, jazz bands, marching bands, choirs, and percussion ensembles, so I have a very diverse knowledge base which gives me the ability to adapt my instruction as a teacher to meet the needs of any student's goals and aspirations.

I am somewhat lenient with my teaching style. I always give every student work to practice and improve upon for their next lesson. However, I am a firm believer that keeping a student's interest in music is best accomplished by allowing them to move at their own pace. I always want my students to be inspired and productive, and I also believe that a student should never feel forced into practicing their craft. Read More

I tailor each lesson plan to specifically fit the student that I am working with and to build upon their interests and skills. My main goal during our initial lesson is to find out the students true interest and true passion in relation to their bass and/or guitar. This can be anything from a genre of choice, and artist of choice, or simply wanting to learn music in general. Read More

I've taught all ages in studio, in my home, and in students home. I've taught across the DC area and the NYC metro area. I've taught the very young and very old. I've taught for special circumstances and needs of all kinds. Ask me about it and I'll tell you. I can prepare you for auditions, coach you for performance, and help you find your voice in composition. Read More

I have provided students, of all ages, with a realization that anyone can play music. My background as a teacher and performer has given me the ability to share over two decades of experience with his students. I like to get to know my students goals and musical history (if any) before we meet. This gives me an opportunity to know where they're coming from and what they would like to learn. Read More
