Instruments: Guitar
Over the years I have developed my own method for teaching guitar students of different levels. The first step is always to determine the current knowledge and experience so we know where to start. For beginners, I like to help the student learn basic chords so that they can quickly play a few songs and have fun right away. The more a beginner enjoys playing, the more they will want to learn and practice. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Guitar Method as well as learning their favorite songs. For adults, I find out what the students are interested in, and guide my instruction accordinly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter they are beginners, songwriters, blues,jazz, classical, pop, funk, rock, fusion lovers or advanced players.

Music has held a major position in my life since I was very young. I began composing music before I was in school. I began taking piano lessons when I was four years old. I studied voice and was trained by professional choir director Bill Graham for several years. I played trumpet in middle school and was first chair. I toured nationally with the NC boys choir. I picked up guitar at age fourteen and began teaching myself. Read More

I've been a music lover for as long as I can remember. I began playing guitar at age 13 and have continued to play for the past eleven years. I have been in numerous bands and played hundred of shows in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and all around the state. I play acoustic and electric guitar as well as keyboard-piano. I have years of experience giving guitar lessons as well as recording music in my studio. Read More

My #1 passion is teaching music. I'm currently the band teacher at Cary Christian School. I've been playing trombone professional for almost 20 years, my most recent gigs were playing for Princess Cruises full time, and been teaching for 20 years. My passion for playing isn't what it used to be, so I'm focusing my musical efforts on teaching. At Cary Christian school, I teach ages 10-18, and currently have 5 beginning students and am looking to take on only 10 more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
I have loved music ever since I was three and picked up two fallen tree branches, pretending they were a violin. I want my students to have a good time and enjoy the lessons. All students learn at their own pace, and have different reasons for being excited about music and why they want to learn their instrument. I want to function as both a friend and mentor to my students. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir director! I had always loved singing, but she really inspired me with her encouragement, respect for me, and the opportunities she gave me. She made me into such a confident person and singer, and I have so much gratitude for her. Because of her, I decided that I wanted to do the same thing for other people.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been singing for my entire life! I loved singing more than anything in the world. For my second birthday, I received a bucket of sand toys, but I took the bucket and started playing it like a drum. As a child, I used to sing Disney songs for my family in the living room. I loved performing and being on the stage for as long as I could remember. Singing has just always been a part of me!
When will I start to see results?
Most of my students will begin seeing results immediately. I am extremely thorough with my students, and I will give them suggestions for how to improve immediately. Like learning anything, you're going to constantly improve. I am not a miracle worker. Most of the work has to come from you. I make sure to give my students the tools for successful singing, and then it is up to them to put that to practice. Your results will come faster if you practice effectively.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
In my opinion, voice lessons should not begin until a child starts puberty. This is a controversial statement, but based on my background in vocal health studies, I have found that it is more appropriate for children to begin lessons once they are beginning puberty; even after puberty. From the time a child is born to the time they reach puberty, this is a critical time for vocal exploration. Musical aptitude does not level out until the age of 9, and the voice changes during puberty in both males and females. Kids who are singers should spend their childhood singing songs and exploring their voices, and then the formal training should begin at puberty.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice voice too much! I always advise my students to practice, at MOST, 30 minutes a day. The voice is not like a regular instrument. Practicing too much can make your voice tired and even cause some vocal injuries. I believe that singing should be fun! I never want my students to become stressed or tired due to practicing too much. When practicing, I advise my students to sing a song we've been working on, record themselves. and listen to the recording. Think of some technical aspects that could be improved and sing it again!
