Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
I started my teaching carreer in 1994, teaching doublebass and bass guitar. Two years later I began offering guitar lessons. In 1998 I offered cello lessons. My passion for teaching has grown over the years, and brought me great pleasure helping beginner students gain skills, confidence, and a sense of pride and accomplishment in learning to successfully play a musical instrument. I been able to teac advanced bass students techniques that increased their playing skills and understanding of their instrument and music in general. My greatest pleasure was helping a young, nervous, shy, and self conscious young boy, and over time, with his efforts and my guidance, was able to apply and get accepted into music college. Read More

For piano ages 7-12: I typically start with Primer Piano Adventures or Level 1. I also use Keith Snell Scale Skill Levels for skill and chord practices which is helpful for all kinds of music! For guitar and ukulele: Hal Leonard guitar and ukulele method. These books also teach reading the notes in sheet music and understanding how to play them on the guitar or ukulele, as well as including a tab. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trombone Drums Orchestral Percussion Djembe
I try to keep things lighthearted and fun, but also demand a lot from my students and hope for regular practice to push them to new heights. Music is fun, but with hard work the lessons will pay off with the reward of improved music ability. I always incorporate music that the student is interested in and challenge them to be able to play their favorite songs. I tailor my lessons to fit the needs of the student, and cater to all different types of students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would likely still be a teacher, but for a different subject. Probably Math. I loved that too when I was in school. I've also taken a liking to cars, so I could perhaps be working as an auto mechanic or doing something else in the auto industry.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We will start with long tones to warm up. Select scales and arpeggios will come next. If possible, we will do exercises relevant to the material being practiced. For example, blues scales will be done to lead into jazz tunes and improvisation. Next, we will address solos, concert music, or any other material that needs addressing. Finally, we will warm down with long tones. Depending on the circumstances, I would do some sight-reading with my students as well. I would either challenge them to read and play a piece of music on their own, or I will play a duet with them.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The Rubank Method books are simple, to the point, and set a great foundation. Jamey Aebersold's books do the same for jazz/pop music and improvisation. If your school offers you a specific method book, we may use that to keep things consistent for you. After all, there isn't a truly bad method book out there. The overall goal of lessons will be to rely on method books less and less over time, although you may return to them from time to time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Simple answer: the Saxophone is COOL. I've always loved the sound and feel of the instrument. The instrument is also extremely versatile. It has been embraced by every style of music. Unlike most other acoustic instruments, you can truly make the sound your own.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
It would have to be a very ambitious senior recital in college that contained about an hour's worth of music. It was wonderful to share and perform.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me personally, it's the altissimo register (notes above the true range of the instrument.) This skill takes a lot of time and patience to discover, let alone master. It's a lot like discovering a hidden passageway in a video game that not many people know about.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The number one priority is that you play every day, whatever that entails. Being a musician is similar to being an athlete. As such, too much time off will cause you to lose progress in your training. Play every day.
