Instruments: Guitar Voice Harmonica
Growing up in Memphis, I began playing the piano at age 6. After moving to bass guitar a few years later, I finally picked up my brother's acoustic guitar and never looked back. At Vanderbilt University, I studied music and English and began gigging professionally in Nashville while still finishing my degree. I've worked as a singer/songwriter, touring artist and session musician in both Nashville and New York City. I'm proud to call Memphis home again when I'm not on tour. Read More

Depending on the level of the student, I will work with what they already have and expand based on the genres they want to learn. If the students' main goal is to shred like Hendrix, then I would start with the basics of blues. I'd explain the blues through terms of the major scale and western music theory, which makes it accessible to students would otherwise have no concept of the genre. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Not specifically but these are great methods and authors. One may find a great lesson book at the local library also. I believe if a student wants to make music and have results then the teacher must employ a plethora of techniques. I’m not opposed to these method oops. They are great tools. I usually provide a curriculum that is tailored to the students ability and discipline. I’m not the best at reading music anymore but I understand all of my notes and scales. The fundamental knowledge of playing the bass guitar still requires learning and understanding music theory
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normally I’ll have my bass and amplifier. I’ll have a list of scales to learn and also homework. I may have my computer to record our session so the students can hear themselves after the lesson is finished. This will help them in pinpointing certain areas that may need improvement. I may have my guitar also so the student can understand the relationship between these two related instruments. I may have bongos and microphones also. I may also have effects for bass and guitar to open up a new world of creativity for the student
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree from a university or college. When I graduated high school I was offered a scholarship to attend a private university but was unable to attend because my guardians thought it was not the best choice. I enrolled into Clark Atlanta University for a short time. I was in the jazz orchestra and classical orchestra for a while but I was not happy that my guardians made me go to that college. I was so hurt that I eventually went to the registrars office and left the university
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think that it would be a Parliament Funkadelic live concert from beginning to end. The bass guitar is a major element in the funk music the created. Then I would like to fuse that with a few Stanley Clarke tunes with Thundercat and Mono Neon as guest appearances. Then I would like to have Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten come improvise while I hold down a groove of my choice. Then I would like all of us to lear Funfe Stücke by Paul Hindemith all on bass guitars and then we go into a Jimi Hendrix/ Led Zeppelin tribute
