Instruments: Trombone
Teaching has always been a passion of mine! In 2019, I graduated from University of Central Arkansas with my Bachelor of Music Education. From there, I earned a Graduate Certificate in Trombone Performance from the University of Central Arkansas in 2020. Finally in May 2023, I earned my Master of Music in Trombone Performance with a secondary area in Music Education. I have experiences teaching in several settings: elementary classes, middle school classes, and private lessons from 6th grade all the way up to college students. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I love to watch singers reach their full potential by helping them find their true singing voice and perform with confidence and freedom! I began performing at age three and have sung and played different styles and genres for different audiences ever since. My foundational training is in classical voice, earning my Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Mississippi in 1991. I was then awarded an Apprenticeship with the Knoxville Opera and a Graduate Teaching Assistantship at the University of Tennessee, where I earned my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance in 1993.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
I have worked with many music methods and numerous curriculums: Alfred, Faber, Piano Pronto, Hal Leonard, Bastian, Eric Steiner Rice, Faber, Dogs and Birds, Mr. Everybody's Musical Apt., Sandy Hoffman, Carol Tournquist etc. to name a few. I start out with a general introduction and progress to choosing the core curriculum according to the student's ability and desire in music. Music is a vast Science and lessons plans will be created around your goal in music rather than a rigid method, though we will adhere to curriculum to be sure that we are thorough and you receive a complete music education. I have general curriculum, genre' specific curriculum such as Jazz, Blues etc. as well as curriculum geared toward training Church Musicians. Read More
Instruments: Cello
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Suzuki Cello Book 1. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire tailored for each student depending on their skill level. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Voice Acoustic Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student gain confidence in their voice. Singing can be very scary especially at first, but it is my passion to be a cheerleader of the singer. Singing is mostly a mental game, and my passion is to fight that one first. One can have all the technique in the world, but if they don't have confidence, musicality is thrown out the window. So, I primarily focus on giving the student a safe place to make mistakes grow and learn and feel comfortable to explore. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a dedicated and experienced guitarist who loves helping aspiring guitarists achieve their goals with the instrument. I have played guitar myself for about 15 years, the last five or so professionally. I've had the opportunity to perform throughout Texas doing my own arrangements of contemporary music on classical guitar, performing at venues such as the Mansion on Turtle Creek and the Four Seasons. Music is my number one passion in life and I hope to help share that love with all the students I work with! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Harmonica Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Becoming a professional musician was a gradual decision for me. I already knew how to play the piano and electric guitar in my teenage years. In high school I joined a band of friends who liked playing music as well. We played at places like the Gulfport Casino, a legendary place that had all sorts of music and plays, including saturday night teen dances. We were hired after an audition, and played there frequently. As we got better as musicians, we branched out to include teen dances all over Florida. After that, I met some other guys who were serious about music and joined their band. We played locally and occasionally traveled to booked events. As I became more proficient in my instrument, I toured and traveled with a band in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Florida. We played in large venues, opening for national acts and recording stars.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I began piano at the age of five, and that is because my mother played the piano well. She really loved playing. My brother started learning to play the piano as well with me. One of my greatest memories is how happy my mother seemed when she played. She could read music well and my father bought this beautiful baby grand piano which he refinished. I also remember the piano tuner who would come to the house and tune each note to perfect pitch. It was a sight to see and hear. I am sure the was a foundation for me to like music and playing. I hope you do too.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have found the more music styles I listen to, the more I enjoy music as a whole.
My favorite music style is good old rock and roll. Within, that genre are many variations based on types of percussion, singing ability, additional instrumentation, and style of the musician. That being said, I like a single musician playing and singing alone, like sing/songwriters Neil Young , and countless others. As for myself, when I learned the basics of playing, I played what others had recorded. Now, I am able to play other instruments, sing, write songs , play with others and it is all fun to me. I hope I can pass that on to you or your child.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned to play the piano first. Then, my mothers organ. When I was a teenager, I started to learn guitar,which was mostly comprised of chords and simple lead guitar licks. Then, as friends in school, we formed a band and played at local area venues. After a few years, i joined a professional group where I took up the bass guitar. I have been on the bass for over 30 years. In the last seven or eight years, I learned to play the harmonica, which was surprisingly easy for me. Now, I move back and forth between these instruments depending on the song we are playing, sometimes handing off the bass to another band member to play so I can play the harmonica. To me, it was a natural and easy transition from one instrument to another. I hope it will be for you too.
