Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard

I teach all of my students to read music starting with middle "C" on the grand staff. Knowing the keyboard/piano is a great place to start for all musicians because it shows where notes are and what they sound like in relation to each other.

I began playing the saxophone at the same time I took up the piano. I entered my undergraduate program in 1992, majoring in music education with the saxophone and piano as my principle instruments. During my studies at the University of South Alabama, a new program was started in MIDI and I attended an extra year to master digital audio. Read More
