Instruments: Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I cover both the physical skill of creating a musical sound and building a song from its melodic and rhythmic core. In doing this both children and adults are tutored in proper positioning of their hands and bodies to create a comfortable and relaxed posture of playing. I cover a variety of notation methods including tabulature, staff notation and chordal diagrams. The focus is on melodies the student is already familiar with, engaging their ear, eye and tactical senses. Read More

Instruments: Guitar
Everyone starts differently and everyone learns differently. I think that the material covered in lessons should be dependent on what the student knows and what the student is interested in. Even though theory can be complicated and at times tedious I think the most important goal is to be able to enjoy both learning and playing your instrument. Weekly goals will be set for students to ensure they study the lesson subjects. Read More

I usually teach what style the student wants to learn. I am most proficient in teaching classical, blues, rock, metal, and jazz. I teach out of three diferrent books that have very effective curriculums. I also teach my own methods that have helped me personally become a better guitarist. I teach children and adults and my methods are adaptable to evey student from begginer to advanced. Read More

I have been a music teacher for over 25 years and have taught music at all levels from kindergarten through college both in the United States and abroad in the Caribbean, Japan, and Africa.. I have experience teaching many different kinds of music including general music, elementary/junior high/high school band, junior high and high school choir, jazz band, orchestra, and hand bells.While I can teach beginner level students on all band instruments, my specialties are the brass instruments with a special emphasis on trumpet and French horn.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I highly advice practicing quality over quantity. One can practice a phrase 20 times but if he or she does not understand how the phrase is contrived, he or she will not conceptualize it. Practice slow, and have a process to learn the piece of music (example: look at the key signature, what time is it in, what accidentals outside the key are present, chunk out each section). If you miss a note, stop and go back. It is so easy to let mistakes slide. this is specific for intonation but sing the phrase of music and then play the piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child displays a natural talent for music, it is important to act upon that, even if it is learning general music, which can later translate to an instrument. For example, I teach Clarinet beginning at the age of 10-11 years old. If my student is only 8 but can hold, and play the Clarinet, I will start at that age. It is also noteworthy to say one shouldn't start a student with an instrument too young because his/her lungs and mechanical movement are not developed enough and can cause permanent damage later in life.
When will I start to see results?
Results are gradual, meaning they do not happen overnight. Progress and improvement occurs through a consistent practice schedule, qualitative practicing and a deep desire to learn. If a student is struggling through a passage of music or something fundamentally based, that means he or she is learning to break a bad habit or learning the piece of music. It is important to set up a positive and encouraging environment where success can happen. If need be, one should track a student's progress and in turn be able to see the results of hard work.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I did. When I was in Band my freshman year in high school, I was in the top wind ensemble, but the only freshman Clarinetist. Once I saw how this band performed and my band director conduct, it lit a fire in myself that ultimately inspired me to pursue music. From there, I began taking private lessons and honestly enjoyed them, along with playing Clarinet solos. I thought it was really neat to watch my band director conduct and teach myself all about music which later inspired me to pursue my bachelors and later my master's in music.
