Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Teaching guitar and bass began for me around the same time I stared gigging seriously. People who were at the show or even people in other bands would come up and ask if I gave lessons. I developed a lesson plan and began teaching. I have taught both beginners and advanced players but most of my students have been just starting out. Through my program, my students typically learn how to make music with their instrument relatively quickly as I believe that is a key factor in keeping them interested in playing. Read More

My main goal and teaching is to inspire self motivation and make it fun! I like to pick songs that are fun to play and challenging at the same time depending on what level you are at that time. By doing this I think keeping the instrument out and not in the closet is a good start that way if the inspiration hits you and you want to play it is within your reach "guitar stand and wall hangers are ideal" and not in the case the put away " Out of sight out of mind" I suggest buying a music stand for your instruments and or wall hangers which seem to work very well as a display and also so the instrument is within your reach.

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 believe to really be in a state to learn the individual should be relaxed and comfortable. I take a very laid back conversational approach to my lessons while still retaining focus and structure. Every lesson will be slightly different depending on the students skill level, experience and musical interests but every lesson has a focus on musical rudiments and then exploring those concepts through classic songs. When you understand music, every song , riff or lick because a lesson. Read More

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

I have experience providing lesson content in both an in-person and online environment. I got started teaching originally providing informal instruction to friends who were learning guitar. They thought I excelled at it and encouraged me to pursue providing instruction further and so I started to seek out and find students to teach. I also have experience arranging popular music for classical guitar and set up a website to teach fingerstyle guitar through tutorials I provide on some of the songs I've arranged. 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.
