My main areas of expertise are in voice, songwriting and composition, improvisation, contemporary piano and synthesizer performance, recording your own music, and ear training and theory. I love to teach because I have to teach. My philosophy is if you believe you are born with a special gift, you are obligated to give and teach the ways of this gift to people who strive to understand it. In other words, music is my passion and the one thing I've been able to do my entire life, and creating it gives me tremendous joy. Read More

You can learn so much about a student in a 30 minute trial lesson! If a new student is not a total beginner, I will ask them to play their favorite song (or one of their favorites if they have trouble choosing just one). After their performance, I ask them what they liked about how they played. Its important for students to always be aware of what they do well. If they arent able to see their strengths on their own then I share with them what I think their strengths are and encourage them to keep that up. Read More

I tailor the program to the student's needs. A student seeking a traditional eduction would be presented with method materials such as Simandl, as well as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Pop, jazz and other genres of music could be explored, depending on the goals of the student. As a jazz musician, I find that learning multiple styles opens up whole worlds of expression and concept. I have studied with classical players as well, and have worked through method books and excerpts. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that has the desire to study music should be allowed to take lessons, regardless of age. I believe that even if the student does not become a musician, playing an instrument creates discipline, character and it will give them an extra activity for them to do whenever they are stuck in their daily routine. A child cannot be involuntarily made to play an instrument when the parent or guardian wants to, it should come naturally and out of curiosity of the student, therefore creating interest and eventually passion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My main advice is to dedicate a healthy amount of time such as an hour minimum per day. I believe that concentration and effective use of time is more rewarding than many hours of unfocused and sparse practicing. I believe that it is effective to divide the practice time into two or more topics to allow for a more focused session. I also strongly recommend not to overdo any exercise or practicing routine when one is "Stuck", I recommend leaving it for another practice session or to partake on any other activity for a short while to enable mental health and clarity.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The musical accomplishment I am most proud of is
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my brother wanted to play Guitar. We both signed up for lessons and after less than a year, I was already taking mine and my brothers lesson because I felt so passionate about the instrument. I stayed with the guitar because it was an instrument with which I connected and felt that I could express myself. I also played piano briefly before the guitar but not having the correct teacher led me to abandon the instrument and never really have the passion to play it again.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first guitar teacher taught me lessons consecutively for eight years and he is the main reason that I went into music. My teacher inspired me by always giving me positive feedback and by adapting the lessons to what I wanted to learn. His attitude was always motivating me to become better while being very demanding of what he expected me to achieve in each lesson. This led me to practice everyday since I can remember and it is what led me to become the musician that i am today. A teacher will always have a fundamental role in the students development and love towards music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will be seen depending on how much the student practices and takes seriously their music education. A teacher cannot make a student better, only the student. The teachers role is to give guidance and suggest new ideas and methods that will enable the student to learn better but it ultimately comes down to the student to see progress. As a teacher, encouraging the student to learn the music they want and giving them a comprehensive lesson plan and practice schedule is a great way to start.
