Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
For me, it is easier for me to hear a rhythm or melody while looking at it. It is easier for me to grasp and understand the rhythm and melody in terms of the context of the piece. Same with my teaching. I will always demonstrate a scale or rhythm or chord for a student before having the student attempt it by themselves. After we work through the example together, I will have them try playing it alone and if a particular area needs to be fixed I will address it, make sure the student understands, and move on from there.

I believe in creating individual course plans for each student. I always ask what the student wants to learn and if he has any particular songs he wants to learn to play. I try to teach him something basic as soon as possible that he can share with family and friends. This helps keep him interested. I teach how to hold and tune a guitar, left hand positioning, using all four fretting fingers and other basics. Read More

I have been teaching music lessons for over 5 years. When I first started, I taught part time for people in my church. I began to realize that I love to help develop people. I see myself as a catalyst for realizing full potential. I believe a teacher's greatest asset is not necessarily how much knowledge that can instill into their student, because knowledge can only take you so far. Rather a teacher's greatest asset is inspiration. Read More

Keeping music fun is the most important way to keep a student motivated and engaged. Many challenges come along the way with students, and I make it a goal to attack problem areas efficiently and effectively so that the most progress can be made while still maintaining enjoyment. What I've found is that students appreciate this method because it shows that I am paying attention and that I do care about their progress. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I use the "CAGED" system on guitar as a way to navigate the fretboard and understand the patterns on Guitar. I always put a strong emphasis on being able to learn a song by ear and understand the theory behind it. For younger children I use the Hal Leonard Method book to give them the ability to read Music. I teach all styles and advanced lessons including Ear training, Theory, Chord Building, Modes, Scales, and Technique. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've recorded two albums, and have a catalog of original music for future recordings.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not to my knowledge, but maybe you can be the first.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Every student will have their own answer and I would not want to influence anyone with my own bias here.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I've used many method books, but settled on Faber , Alfred, and/or Bastien for piano students; FJH, Alfred, and/or Basix for guitar students. These methods present the information in the best way, have the best songs, and are easiest to follow.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I had the idea from a very young age, and it just never went away. Between my junior and senior years of high school I attended the Berklee 5-week Summer program and that convinced me to pursue music as a career and go to Berklee.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother sang in choirs, but my family is not really musical.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Any of my own because I wrote them.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something that helps other people and gets me outside. Fireman?
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important thing is consistency. Practice every day, even if it's just a few minutes.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That changes every day.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on piano because I loved Classical music, but took up the guitar as a teenager because I wanted to play more Rock and Popular music I was hearing on the radio.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in Performance because I wanted to be an excellent player of my instrument. I also got a degree in Business just to be educated in that side of music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
There is no normal. I work on what needs to be practiced, but I always with a stopwatch so I know how much time I've put in.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had many great teachers. My first piano teacher, Carolyn Victorine, taught me for 11 years. She was always positive and encouraging, and I strive to teach the same way. Rarely will a negative phrase come out of my mouth during a lesson.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano and guitar are equally important to me. I could never pick one over the other. However, I gravitated toward these two instruments because of the incredible capabilities they offer to play any kind of music you want.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
First of all, are they enthusiastic about music? Children can start musical instruction as early as 4 years old, and even younger in some specialized programs. It really depends on the child, and the approach of
the teacher. I've had students begin at 4 years old, but I wasn't ready myself until the age of 7. With young children I'm careful to pick age-appropriate material and incorporate other activities to enhance the learning. A trial lesson is the best way to assess their potential.
When will I start to see results?
There is no universal answer for this, but if a student is committed to practicing regularly and putting in the effort, results should come quickly. I strive to teach something new every lesson, and push students just enough to keep them improving without overwhelming them.
