I am a creative teacher that looks and listens to the individual to help them to master the musicianship to play their instrument with the best sound and learn and apply the style of music being studied. From my yoga training I apply ideas of right alignment that help the student to play ergronomically correct. From my Suzuki training, I apply the principles of beautiful sound and learning both by ear and with music. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
The methods through which I choose to teach vary based on each student and instrument. The individual student's age and purpose for study (what they want to get out of the lessons) also plays into any chosen methodology. What I am certain of and what I am consistant in teaching all of my students is a mastery of performance fundamentals as well as at least a rudimentary understanding of music theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The beginning students always start in a book, which is usually John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers to Play", or for the older students, "Bastien's Book for Older Beginners." As they move along, the students often have an idea of what they want to play, and often bring me music, especially the adolescents. I can determine more upon working with the student over time. I definitely customize my lessons for each student, and don't compare one to the other. Some of them have been my students from early childhood to high school graduation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students, I use Alfred's All-in-one Piano Course books. These books combine repertoire and theory, thereby cutting down on the number of books a new student needs to purchase. I use a variety of materials for voice students. I may ask that my voice students purchase books of repertoire that contain songs useful for building on their strengths and working on their weaknesses. However, I also have an extensive music library in my home studio. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time , and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio and music schools for the last 15 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I believe teaching music doesn’t just teach music—it teaches us life skills that are applicable to any field and any situation. My teaching philosophy is a mix of many ideas, and I believe it is more successful the more places I "steal" ideas from. As a music teacher at the 21st Century Public Academy, and the 2nd, being my job in the Army as a member of the 44th Army Band. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
my father was my teacher for the most part because we learned how to play guitar together but he already knew the basics like chords and notes.
he inspired me a lot and i can never see myself stop playing guitar.
i love it with all my heart and soul and with his help i have been able to do what i have done.
i do not think i would have stuck it out the 1st month if he didn't make it fun for me and i tank him for that.
i also took lessons from a fellow student in high school i looked up to because he was older and already in an established band.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
i chose the guitar after watching the Beatles "a hard day night" movie.
I fell in love with the looks of the bass and asked my dad for a guitar on my 12th birthday hoping i would get one like that but instead he busted out an old silvertone guitar his parents ordered out of the sears catalog for him as a kid but he never learn it until we learn together so that was wonderful!
i love playing many instruments but guitar is my main instrument by choice because i have a passion that comes out when i play it and i wouldn't trade that for the world
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My most musical accomplishment of all time would be when my old band opened up for TESTAMENT who was all of our idols and they liked our music so we got to hangout with them afterwards.
I always wanted to make a sound of my own and when i was playing a gig somewhere another musician told me if there was an award for the most unique sound i would have it hands down and i was happy because since i was about 14 or 15 i always wanted to create my own genre of music.
i am also very happy to see my students progress!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students all win awards by me but only won has went out and won actual awards for playing proficient in his band class!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
the hardest thing to master on the guitar i think is theory and sweep picking.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
i use a variety of books from Wolf Marshall which is what i started out using to the world wide web
