Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My process for working with new voice students begins with an initial intake form, where I learn about your musical background, goals, and any specific areas youd like to improve. Following this, we schedule a first Discovery Lesson. This initial lesson allows us to get to know each other, assess your current abilities, and establish a baseline. Based on this assessment, I create a personalized lesson plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
I started my teaching carreer in 1994, teaching doublebass and bass guitar. Two years later I began offering guitar lessons. In 1998 I offered cello lessons. My passion for teaching has grown over the years, and brought me great pleasure helping beginner students gain skills, confidence, and a sense of pride and accomplishment in learning to successfully play a musical instrument. I been able to teac advanced bass students techniques that increased their playing skills and understanding of their instrument and music in general. My greatest pleasure was helping a young, nervous, shy, and self conscious young boy, and over time, with his efforts and my guidance, was able to apply and get accepted into music college. Read More

Instruments: Guitar
I am a fun and very versatile guitar instructor who loves taking a student to the next level with their guitar in which ever style they may be interested in. I just recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a guitar degree in Jazz and Classical with a minor in German. I was the lead singer/guitar player for a Blues/Jazz band in highschool and played with a few local band in Fayetteville, AR where I went to school. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love seeing students develop a deep and lasting passion for the guitar! I want every student to feel at ease and comfortable while learning and help them set goals that push them to achieve whatever they set out to, while eager to learn more. My hope is to provide lessons in a clear and easy-to-follow to manner, so they can not only make progress in the lesson itself, but carry forward what they learn into their day-to-day practicing outside of the lessons and utilize the techniques effectively toward their progress on the guitar.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon
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 three music degrees. My first degree is a Bachelor's in Music Education. I entered this field because my initial goal was to become a band director exactly like my high school director. I've since developed my own more individual goals rather than just becoming someone else, but the love and necessity of teaching has always been present in my musical experience.
I continued afterwards to get a Masters Degree and an Artist Diploma in Music Performance, because I really love spending time on my instrument. Becoming a strong performer requires so much more than hours in the practice room, and pursuing this path has led me to really understanding my own musical fulfillment that I aim too share with each of my students.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I actually have performed my dream piece, but I would love to do it again! The piece is Ciranda des Sete Notas by Heitor Villa-Lobos, and it is a short solo piece for bassoon and string orchestra. It's extremely exciting, and flashy, and touching, and ends in the most beautifully profound and intimate way, especially compared to how large and grandiose similar pieces end. It's such a fun and engaging piece that shows off so much of the instrument and so much of the player, and really means so much to me musically.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice sessions are actually split up into multiple sessions per day. I always begin with fundamentals, which I have a routine that is constantly adapting based on what my performance needs are. The constants are a focus on finger facility, tone production and maintenance, and articulation. This often translates to scales, long tones, and some home-brewed articulation exercises.
After fundamentals, I have my "daily excerpt" maintenance session. For professional, auditioning musicians, there is an expectation of pieces we should be able to play on every audition. This section of my day is based on keeping the technique for those excerpts in shape. I'll isolate sections at a reduced tempo, ranging from 80-95% and focus on fluency for each piece.
The third section of my practice is the "right now" session. This includes preparing music for anything I have upcoming urgently: auditions, performances, lessons. It is similar to the daily excerpt practice but much more focused on smaller segments, again practicing slowly to build comfort.
The last section of my day is for me, I play music that I love playing to remind myself that even in the midst of preparing and working, this is a fun and beautiful thing to do. I am forgiving of mistakes, and only play music that makes me happy.
