Instruments: Guitar Voice Harmonica Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started studying around 5 years old and went through alot of instruments and eventually realized that I was really motivated by singing. I auditioned for Performing Arts High School and ended up getting accepted my junior year of high school. This was a big thing for me as I learned about the different levels of music prowess and it opened me to other styles. Since the age of 14 I played in a band of some sort. Read More

As an analyst I developed a fascination with the science and theory of music and as an intuitive person with the raw mysteries of improvised playing. I have a degree in Music Composition with a focus in piano and guitar. I have been teaching ever since I developed my own understanding of Music Theory. I have always been fascinated with teaching music to others and developing new ways of understanding. Read More

No one ever regrets learning music and I believe that often times when a student gives up on music it's because they are not taught in a way that is effective for them. A one approach fits all teaching style can cause students to loose interest and not practice which in turn leads them to get frustrated, bored and ultimately causing them to give up. I teach because I love to see people get those a-ha moments, which gives them the ability, understand music in a way that they can teach themselves. Read More

I provide individualized instruction with a theoretical focus. I want students to understand the music that they play. I view music as a language and believe in the importance of being able to manipulate it to convey a message to the listener. I allow students to choose the songs they learn and couple them with technical exercises to improve dexterity and familiarity with the instrument. I believe in a "do no harm" philosophy, where my primary goal is to have students enjoy music on their instrument without being overly burdened with "homework" and "practice." Read More

I started teaching the guitar shortly after high school. The first lessons I taught were through the music studio where I first learned to play the guitar. I've taught both group and private lessons, and have experience with students of all ages. I love to find music that my students are excited about, and I feel that music should be about fun and dedication. I'm all about playing with other musicians, so make it a point to find music that I can play with my students. 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.
