I believe in teaching people to be true musicians and tap into their own creative spirits, not just to be technicians at the mercy of what's written for them. With that said, I take a balanced approached between learning traditional fundamentals and some of my own more philosophical approach, drawing on metaphors and analagous experiences to help frame this learning experience in ways the student can relate and understand. I call this The Art of Practice, which you'll be able to apply elsewhere in your life as well. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Drums Bass Guitar Mandolin Double Bass Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I first began teaching at the age of sixteen. I was hired to work at Berkshire Summer Music, a music camp for talented young children. I worked as a violin and viola instructor, teaching children of all ages, assisting with their technique and helped develop good practicing habits. Since then, I have worked at a variety of music camps, where I have taught bass, guitar, songwriting, and led a variety of ensembles. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching in my early 20's and have taught for over 20 years. Nothing beats seeing a student's reaction when they've learned something and can successfully implement it. It brings me a lot of joy! I also encourage and emphasize that my students get into or start bands to practice what they've learned to really see how jamming works. Jamming with musicians is another great teacher as well because you'll immediately learn where your weak spots are and how you can improve upon that..... Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I believe that all of us are musical, even if some have more innate talent than others. Curiosity, patience and dedication, addition to good references, are key aspects that translate into growth and achievement of goals for all of us. In class, I try to work within the dreams and motivations of each student, approaching repertoires that translate the students' interests in the best possible way. I always try to work on the theoretical/formal part in conjunction with the development, above all, of the ear and ear training. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated music instructor who loves helping students and sharing my love of music with others. In 2013, I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans with a minor in classical music. I have received lessons in piano, guitar, and bass for over 15 years and have had the privilege of studying with several known musicians from around the world. I started teaching music in 2009 by accident. I soon realized that teaching was my gift and passion. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

There are so many different ways to approach music, and so many different avenues one can go down, which is why I prefer to cater to the students learning style and interests. I want to bring in a variety of approaches to the lesson such as theory, sight-reading, and ear training. A big regret I have as a student is not learning early on, the framework and inner workings of the pieces I was playing. Read More

I’ve been a performing Classical Guitarist since high school, which is where my love for the instrument really began to blossom. When I got to College, the choice to study Classical Guitar was obvious to me. I love this instrument, it’s one of the most expressive instruments to exist in classical music. I’ve studied at SLU and UNO under Mr.Kerber and Dr.Kacherski. I’ve personally studied under Pepe Romero, a world class musician who has won countless grammies. Read More

How Does a Piano Work?

...when keys are pressed down. Cristofori made some small adjustments to this system that resulted in an instrument that sounded dramatically new, distinct, and different from the harpsichord. His biggest adjustment was changing the harpsichord string-plucking feature to a new system that used small hammers to strike each string.   The Power To Play Loudly And Softly   So, how does a piano work? By using an intricate system of tiny hammers designed to strike suspended strings. Cristofori also added a system of small dampening pads that could be controlled by foot pedals.

Rhythm Guitar vs Lead Guitar

...can stand on. Without rhythm guitar players, you wouldn’t have chords for singers to sing melodies over.   Lead Guitar Playing   Lead guitarists are responsible for playing ornamental melodic material within a song. This includes melody lines, instrumental fill passages, guitar solos, and occasionally some riffs within a song structure. Any time you hear a guitar playing a discernible melody, that’s lead guitar playing. Many people have the misconception that lead guitar players strictly play flashy guitar solos, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.     Exceptions   There’s a bit of a grey area when discussing rhythm guitar vs lead ...
