Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music
I have taught in the classroom, small group settings as well as one on one in both piano and drumset. My favorite thing about music instruction is connecting with the students on a musical and personal level. I started studying piano at the age of 5, making it my career as a teacher after college and into adult life. Choosing to focus more on drumset and percussion studies at the age of 11, I then studied Percussion Studies in College, playing in many bands and in multiple styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I am a dedicated teacher who understands the enormous value of music and have devoted my life to it. I care deeply about my students and thier musical dreams. I graduated from Baylor University in 2011 with a degree in Music Theory and Jazz and then went on to pursue a Masters in Music Composition at the University of Houston. All the while I've continued to hone my skills as a drummer and I have been fortunate to play with dozens of artists in every genre from classical and jazz to gospel, rock, and country. Read More

I'm more of a "laid back" type of teacher.No whips or teachers rulers here. Music is supposed to be fun!!If you're not having fun, what's the point? After 3 to 6 months, you should expect to be playing some of your favorite songs and artists accurately. Remember-Even if you don't want to play professionally,maybe you just want to learn a few chords, licks,songs, for yourself, or to impress friends.That's ok too! Read More

I make my own lesson materials using musical notation software and cater the lesson to the needs of the student. Every student is different and requires special attention. For example, a beginner percussionist would start off learning how to read and notate rhythms all the way up to 16th notes to start. I would then move into how to hold drum sticks and how to hit a drum. I would build upon these concepts to facilitate lessons to come and tailor the lesson to the individual. Read More

I have a very laidback, low-pressure approach - if you didn't practice, it's not the end of the world! I think back to my own days of taking lessons and remember how much more I improved in this type of environment, and how much more I loved the process. The difference between these approaches can be night and day, both in results and morale out of the student (which, again, I know from experience as a teacher, but also from my experience as a student).

Mylove for teaching stems frommy desire to pass onmy knowledge of musicto others. Helping others develop a passion for music is somethingIfeel isnecessary tocopein a world that can often be overwhelming without an outlet for expressions, such as music. I have been instructing students in percussion since I was a Junior in high school and taught at the Denny Way Music School on Capital Hill from 2013-2015. I have instructed students, from elementary school to adulthood, in areasincludingmusic theory, ear training and drum performance. Read More

I love teaching percussion and I am interested in music of many cultures. I specialize in drum set, African drumming, keyboard percussion, and orchestral percussion. I also play steel drums and guitar. I have performed with numerous professional orchestras including the Tacoma, Federal Way, Tucson, Phoenix, and Juneau symphonies and was the principal percussionist and timpanist for the Sierra Vista Symphony Orchestra in Arizona. I have a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Percussion Performance with a minor in Ethnomusicology. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set reasonable, realistic, and attainable goals. Learning and playing guitar is challenging. If you are frustrated, or not motivated, you are more likely to quit. Having a good teacher is one step in the process. Create a positive learning environment. Listen to music and practice the parts, techniques, and study the theory that applies to the music that you are passionate about. If you set your goals too high then you are likely to get frustrated. Be patient, but work every day, and be proud of the accomplishemets that you make everyday on the instrument.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a young person is interested in music, listens to music, and has experessed interest in learning a musical instrument then that means that they can benefit from lessons. In my experience, the first lessons are a good way for a child to decide which instrument, and what style of music, is right for them. The first music lessons, might be very effective, and the student will learn quickly. It might also be a learning experience, that teaches the student valuable lessons such as discipline, and a strong work ethic. The student will benefit when thay discover an instrument that they enjoy, and a style of music that they love to study and perform.
When will I start to see results?
Results are attained by working hard and staying focused. If you lose your focus it easy to get frustrated and quit. Playing an instrument is difficult. Through practice, a supportive environment, and good instruction, students improve. In some cases, the results are dramatic. Once a student has the right teacher, the right lesson plan, and is studying the right instrument and music, they will advance. The more that they study and practice, the better they will get. It can a take couple of years, or more to achieve the desired results.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my teachers inspired me. Also, many other guitarists that I played with and worked with inspired me. Teachers spent extra time trying to explain things, or make sure that I was doing my best made a difference. If someone had more skill at one particular techinique, then I was inspired to meet with them and learn as much as I could from them. Other times I spent a few months studying with someone or attending a seminar. I was inspired by accomplished guitarists who also taught other guitarists through their skill and talent.
