Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've taught guitar for a number of years. I've had several private students in the Hampton Roads area, as well as in New York City, where I also taught group classes in an afterschool program. I have found that the two most important aspects of teaching are ensuring that students love the music theyre learning, and that they practice! These go hand in hand - if the love is there, the practice will come. Read More

Last year, one of my 2nd Grade Chicago Public School Band students performed the National Anthem for memory on the Alto Saxophone in front of 1000's of people at a race. One of my 1st Grade Violin Students impressed the president of Columbia College of Music so much that my students were offered life-time scholarships to attend Blues Kid's Camp, held annually at Columbia College in Chicago. Taking an active role in supporting people of all ages accomplish their goals and enjoy life is why Iteachmusic. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice
I taught private guitar lessons continuously, while in highschool and college. In between engagements in my performing career, I would always return to teaching. In 1992 I was certified by Dr. L Scott Martin, Phd from Juilliard, to teach vocal performance at his Academy of the Arts in Denver, and I have continued to the present, to coach young singers to express themselves with music. I have been blessed in helping many of my students to reach some impressive accomplishments in music, such major record deals, appearances on TV and Film, and getting in to some great music colleges.

I had my first student when I was in middle school (around 1993). Jumping forward a few years later, I started teaching again around 1998 while attending Bekrlee College of Music. At that time I was only teaching partime but quickly escalated to fulltime once I graduated in 2001. At my peak, I was teaching between 40-45 students weekly. I currently have 30 students of all ages and levels. I cover several styles depending on the students interests. Read More

I have been performing and teaching professionally since college and have had the incredible opportunity of traveling and playing all over the country with multiple touring bands. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
We have something we call the Charlie method. It is a simple method. Every time a student plays a piece of music, put a tally mark on the page to indicate practice. In addition, if there is a spot that is not going right, stop.. break that section down.. play that spot very slowly, note by note, separate hands if necessary. We go over this process together in lessons - it is called guided practice. Big picture practice is good, but small section attention (detail) helps get the song to where it needs to be. It also helps to hear how a piece should sound. This is called modeling.
When I was young, it was an expectation to practice 6 days per week - 30 minutes per day. That was just the way it was. If your child can handle that, it is still a good routine to get into. I have found that to be nearly impossible, even with my own girls when they were growing up.
Here is a compromise that worked for us. At the absolute minimum, play each song/exercise three (or four or five) times all the way through each day. Once finished with every piece, you are done. As the week progresses, each song should be played correctly with no mistakes three times in a row.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is indicating an early interest, I see no reason to wait. Tapping into that early passion and using it for a foundation toward rapid early progress is such a great resource that ofter gets overlooked. Student interest is a key motivator. Abilities on piano, ukulele and other musical instruments are only limited by the preconceptions of the player. In other words, there are no rules for learning and progress. My own twin daughters started piano lessons at age two - with another instructor, I might add. I have learned through my own experience and observations that it is often best for teacher parents to lovingly support but perhaps not be the main educator for their own children - but that is a whole 'nother discussion.
When will I start to see results?
Right away. I would leave this answer right here, but the field will not allow for a short answer. Students must feel progress or their interest will quite possibly quickly fade. We quickly learn skills and songs that will showcase their talent early on. I have had kids play for a scheduled recital after only one or two lessons in the past. I do not do that unless that child feels okay about doing so, but it has happened. Results vary from student to student, but progress and results come with each session. Home practice can really have a positive effect on the rate of progress.
