Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet Oboe

Like many of you I started playing in grade school. I wanted to play trumpet but I didn't turn in my permission slip in time so I had to wait another year. The next time I chose saxophone. I had a really wonderful instrumental music teacher who I credit to me being a musician today. She gets real embarrassed when I tell people that but it's true. I guess that's what inspires me to teach, I had a good teacher! Read More

For young beginners, I will start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. I will emphasize music theory as well as technique and the experience has to be fun. As the student progresses, I will introduce solo repertoire that they will enjoy and that will be appropriate for their first recital performance. Believing that adult students benefit immensely from the discipline of published methods, I will suggest the 32 Etudes for Clarinet by C. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Double Bass

I started teaching friends various instruments and general music theory as a freshman. Then I continued my teaching with tutoring my fellow bass students with more difficult material. Now, after having graduated from Rowan University, I teach with the Resonance School of Music teaching guitar, clarinet electric bass and upright bass. While Resonance is certainly a more traditional approach, I like to think I balance it out by also teaching at a School of Rock, giving instruction on both guitar and electric bass. Read More

Moreover, the teacher who's job is to cultivate and direct is about twenty percent of the equation. With the proper guidance and orchestration , the student propels forward and gets to a level of competency with teach and practice.

While a good teacher is essential,one who can see the scope of ability in a student and work with both the negatives and positives, the teacher herein is as mentioned a small part of the students success.

As a teacher, I know that every student is different and learns differently. So I determine through lessons how each student learns best and set goals that each student can attain weekly. I mark off lines that students pass in their book and give a happy face, or a kind of positive acknowledgement, when he or she passes the whole page. I am very persistent with students and will not breeze over something they really need to know. Read More

I'm a multi-instrumentalist who's been performing on piano since I was 14 back in my hometown of Austin, Texas. In 2009, I moved to the east coast to continue my education at William Paterson University. Over the years, my teachers have been instrumental in my success, and I strive to pass the lessons I received from them on to my own students. Those teachers have included Alex Bohrer, Paul White, and Jeff Hellmer in Texas, Vincent Herring and Harold Mabern at William Paterson, Gary Thomas at Peabody, and many others. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I first began teaching upon the completion of my undergraduate studies in 2004. At that time the majority of my students were beginners in their first or second year of playing.

With this accomplishment the students seeking lessons with me generally became older, typically in the junior high and high school ages. It has been my priveldge to help some of these students reach their goals of becoming university and college music majors and scholarship recipients. Read More
