Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I will use what I learned at the University of Arkansas in my teaching methods and approach the guitar in a classical sense, meaning properly learning chords, scales, arpeggios and so on. I will have books that the student will learn songs and techniques from depending on the direction they want to go musically. If there is a specific song the student wants to learn I will help them work their way through it note by note. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Mallet Percussion Latin Percussion Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners, I will start lessons by assisting them to become familiar with their instrument and to learn all the names of the various parts of the instrument. All lessons will be catered to what it is that the student is excited to explore, be it music theory, instrumental techniques, improvisation, composition, arrangement, ear training, transcription, reading, playing in a group setting, or just learning a favorite song. In terms of lessons material, I will guide students when and where necessary and do have traditional modalities of approaching lessons that I will employ if I feel the student is lacking direction (i.e. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More

My teaching experience began at a young age. I started volunteering lessons for the youth in my church. I played keyboard on the worship team for several years and some youth students showed interest so I would teach them every now and then. In 2017, I started teaching private lessons at a studio in Fort Worth. I really started to enjoy it, and as I kept on teaching for years to come (going on 6 years now), I've just fallen in love with it! Read More

I have been teaching since college and have taught elementary through high school/college music in public and private schools over 20 years. I have also worked with adults who want to review or renew their music skills or learn how to play or sing for the first time! I now teach private lessons in my home studio or in students' homes. I encourage students to find a daily consistent time they can practice, even if for 20-30 minutes. Read More

I love seeing my students' faces ilghjt up when they learn new chords and songs. I truly love playing and instructing guitar. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. Dad is a guitar player, sister sings & plays the flute. We've all been involved in musical theater, often together.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Of course there was a calling all along, but it was the realization that I could make money from playing. It's something that I love doing and sharing, but at the end of the day- there's nothing unartistic about making money! Who wouldn't want to make a living doing what they love?!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had three fantastic teachers growing up, each of them led me down a creative and passionate path and were fantastic role models to look up to. It's important to have a mentor!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Music was a big part of my life since I was a wee lad- earliest memories involve my dad (a guitar player himself) playing me Abbey Road by the Beatles and Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & the Dominoes. After seeing footage of Ringo, that was it!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In no particular order:
-being a paid musician since 14
-graduating from music school in 2007
-the ability to establish oneself and find work in music after a move (SE Michigan, Los Angeles, Austin, greater NY area, etc)
And for something much more specific: I recall filling in for a top 40 band in Santa Monica, CA. At our set break, one of the band members came up to me to exclaim at how much the crowd was dancing, and that they never would dance with their regular drummer. Getting people up and dancing? That's what it's all about!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Discipline and restraint!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Hitting pots and pans? Singing along to music? Is in need of a creative outlet? Really, it's all of the above! If there's any interest in the arts at all, we should be fostering that!
When will I start to see results?
Depends on the student and their interests/work ethic. Important to remember that everybody learns and processes information differently, and music is in no way a competition so comparisons to other musicians/students are unwarranted.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice does not equal perfection! If you're lucky, practice will make you better than you were before, and the most efficient method is simply pick a few specific things to work on and make a 'practice session road map'. Practicing a few things for a shorter amount of time will allow for more focus and intent instead pushing oneself in no direction for hours on end. It's also important to document what was practiced, what progress was made, and what to focus on for the next session.
