Instruments: Drums

I prefer lessons to be focused on a curriculum, however customized it may be, as I have found that approach to be the most efficient, especially with younger players.While I believe that it is very important to learn the fundamentals of drumming (as learned largely through a curriculum approach), I also believe that some of the most rewarding experiences a student can have may be achieved through realizing their own unique creative potential.

Instruments: Piano

  I can teach for precision to support the student’s goal of strictly solo performance, and I can teach for more of an open model in which the student eventually creates original music or wants to play in a band.   Is playing the synthesizer a goal for the student? If so, I would like to consider having split lessons after some basic piano theory and application are acquired. I have played a couple of different acoustic instruments over my music career, and this has assisted my synth skills to transfer seamlessly to band situations in which brass and strings were needed but the talent or skill was not readily available—a synth musician can step right in and deliver the right mix that is needed!

I began the study of trumpet in 1965 under the instruction of Les Beigle, noted Seattle trumpeter.

Instruments: Voice Music

Supportive, science based, creative and kind. In 2015 I discovered the McClosky Institute of Voice and the McClosky Voice Technique. This technique is based on applying vocal science (anatomy, physiology, acoustics, health, and psychology) to teaching and focuses on efficiency, that is, it helps coordinate all of the muscles of your body so that each part is doing its proper job with little, or no effort wasted. The result is complete relaxation and flow with speaking and singing. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

For beginners my method is to simply get them over the initial hurdles that challenge all newcomers to the guitar. For intermediate and advanced players I can take them to a level of discipline and musicianship they have never experienced outside of an academic setting with a world-class teacher/performer.  Read More
