Instruments: Drums
My teaching experience dates back to my College days. I began teaching private tutoring to different schools in the Metroplex area. Also I have continued to teach private lessons at schools in the Corpus are while I was a Band Director in Sinton for 29 years. During my years as a Band Director I have had several All State Drummers. They were not only from the school I taught at but also from teaching private lessons at other schools. Read More
Instruments: Drums Djembe
I believe am gifted at finding a good balance, between discipline and chaos, during my lessons. Just enough regimented order, mixed in with relaxed spontaneity. For my younger students, I am teacher that is demands respect and encourages smiles, at the same time. With my adult students, I hold them accountable, without coming off The Boss! This dichotomy also balances types of curriculum we my cover. There will be some written music, some played by ear. Read More

Methods vary by experience, age, demeanor, motivation, etcetera- but in general, we will start playing music YOU want to learn. A cover or style YOU want to play. What rock song do you want to know, or Rn B song, or country song, or church song. As long as it is not too difficult or out of your current ability we will do it. Of course if your more advanced we can go from there. Read More

Music makes life awesome! Sharing my passion and love for music is what I do. I graduated from the Musicians Institute in 2012 with a degree in drum performance. There I was able to immerse myself in music, get hands-on training and learn from world-class instructors. Through the school, I met bandmates, recorded for different artists and learned how to be an educator. My musical journey has brought me to "The Live Music Capitol of the World", Austin, TX. where I make a living playing music professionally. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Drums
To be successful at an instrument, it's important for a student to have something that drives their motivation. Playing an instrument is fun, but is also a lot of work and takes practice, perseverance, and patience. I strive to make lessons fun and to help the student find what encourages them to persevere. Music is a language: you must learn to speak, listen to, read and write a language to be fluent. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Over the last 12 years I have had the opportunity to teach private lessons in Tennessee and in Austin. I consider myself to be a very encouraging and knowledgable teacher who wants to cultivate an understanding of style, as well as, to read and write music. Sharing this gift with musicians I consider an honor to pass down my wisdom as my instructor did so with me. At your own pace we will explore skill level, different genres of music, and preference in style. Read More

I am a true lover of sharing music with others! I believe music brings people together and transcends cultural barriers. I am currently studying music at Austin Community College before I continue my studies at a full Music University. I have been fortunate to experience many different forms of music and have studied, performed, and taught various styles of music for the past 10 years. Music opens doors for people! I am a young teacher, still being a student, and I love teaching all ages, and am especially good with kids! Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As I kid, I held mini-concerts for neighbors to hear. When I joined band in middle school, I insisted on performing a solo at each concert.
I also participated in as many local talent shows as possible.
By high school, there were different groups and ensembles I was either a member of or was asked to come play with.
Musically, I was noticed and became known around campus as "the music guy".
I enjoy practicing - looked forward to it, and even during the frustrating moments I knew I was just a step closer to reaching "the next goal".
I invite my students to broaden their expectations and of course - practice EVERY DAY!!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Well, not exactly... I come from a rather large family and instead of giving you a history of each family member's music performances, let me just tell you this:
Growing up, we regularly had "company" over (e.g., people from church, neighbors, relatives visiting, or friends from my parents' work, etc.) as well as friends of my 3 older brothers.
The stereo was usually on in the background during these times. My parents, being Boomers, have inundated me with many musical influences from their youth.
My older brothers exposed me to the most popular artists at the time. Music was also played in the car wherever we went.
All this is to say while there were no instruments involved usually - I was exposed to a lexicon of some of the greatest music of the 20th Century and it inspired me to make great music myself!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I prefer to play "GREAT" music - the exact genre doesn't matter!
While my formal education focused mainly on Western music through different time periods (e.g., Renaissance, Baroque, Classic, Romantic, etc.) I do ultimately prefer pop music of various styles from the mid-late 20th Century on up to today!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always understood the connection from one to the next...
When I started on the (alto) saxophone, I learned about other saxophones (soprano, tenor, baritone, etc.) and recognized they all read music the same way, they are all put together the same way and essentially played the same way, so, while there are noticeable differences in size and exact timbre, going from one to the other never phased me.
I realized if I understood rhythm, and could read treble clef music, then how many other instruments have that in common.
Woodwind instruments basically are fingered left hand on top, right hand on the bottom, with index-middle-ring fingers performing most of the work.
Exact embouchure differences are obviously needed to learn from one instrument to the next, but it's not rocket science!
This knowledge carried over into brass instruments, and eventually violin - but I have to credit some seriously outstanding teachers I've had!
Piano & keyboard is something I have self-taught, and for that - I have one piece of advice: Practice!
