I'm a recent grad from Carson Newman University! My major was Music Education emphasis in Instrumental. I have been a musician since I was ten, performing in bands and learning piano before picking up percussion in middle school. I was part of Hume Fogg Academic School's Concert, Wind Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble, and I performed in Carson Newman University's Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Percussin Ensemble, and Jazz Ensemble.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has started to grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I do try to maintain a balance of classical music, modern music, and music theory. Read More

I have a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction/Music from Tennessee State University. No matter the teaching situation, for the student and teacher, preparation and opportunity to learn are key. All aspects of Instrumental and Commercial Percussion are addressed. From the most fundamental to advanced concepts.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I've been teaching guitar for the past four years and drums for 10. My favorite thing about teaching is when a student gets to a playing level they didn't think possible. Seeing the transformation is the most rewarding part of the job for me, because I know first hand how good it feels to improve and progress. To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More

I want my students to be successful. I will give them to tools to need to learn to language of music. I will direct them to the materials to help them with that goal. When I was a kid I remember walking out of teacher's studio feeling like a stronger drummer than I did the previous week. I want my students to have that same feeling of accomplishment. I acknowledge students' growth and realize that everyone moves at their own pace. Read More

As a teacher, I can adapt my teaching style to fit the unique strengths and needs of each individual student. I can work towards their goals which could include, preparing for school band concerts, preparing for auditions, learning their favorite songs, joining a band, or anything else they desire. I strive to foster an encouraging environment for self-growth, self-expression, and dedication to art. Since effective practice methods are important, I work with each student to determine their learning style and accommodate accordingly so they can achieve their best practice. Read More

I firmly believe that in order to be proficient in anything it's important to make it your own and simply have fun. I would not be doing my job properly if my student did not have fun or find creativity within the learning process, coming up with silly phrases or thinking about a certain concept in a way that is creative and abstract is my preferred method. I like to ask my students to use there imagination in a way that essentially not only helps them learn but restructures the way they view learning and practicing in general. Read More
