Music is one of the highest arts we have, often described as a universal language. I hope my teaching encourages students towards forming their own answers for "why?" and helping them to discover the "how" with every piece of music they work with. Together with my students, I want to help them find a higher purpose for the act of preparation, practice, study, and performance, so that these come from a genuine place. Read More

The ultimate goal is always to have a student who is moving forward, reaching realistic goals, and developing a passion for music. I set goals for the next lesson, the end of the quarter, and long term for my students. These goals are set with the student as well so we are moving together as a team towards their next step. I have found that by setting reasonable expectations, setting milestones in which to reach, and by letting the student know ways to measure reaching those mile stones we are able to tailor the instructions to the wants and needs of that student.

My primary goal is to individually assess and direct students toward their most meaningful goals, whether that is professional level performance and composition, prepping for auditions, or just enjoying beginning on the instrument. I often have students work through my Commercial Piano Workbooks, or use jazz worksheets that I have created. My workbooks come with access to free video tutorials and dozens of play-along tracks, which makes for fun, challenging, and highly effective learning. Read More

I've taught guitar for a number of years. I've had several private students in the Hampton Roads area, as well as in New York City, where I also taught group classes in an afterschool program. I have found that the two most important aspects of teaching are ensuring that students love the music theyre learning, and that they practice! These go hand in hand - if the love is there, the practice will come. Read More

I first find out what songs and styles of music my students are interested in, then determine what methods are best for my students to fulfill their musical goals. Some students have no experience reading music while others may be quite adept. Many of my students have been absolute beginners and it is a great joy to see them develop their skills and their passion! At all levels, I emphasize music fundamentals and developing the ability to read music (especially for guitarists!). Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Fiddle Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginners I like to start with just a few chords, something to get them going and playing and get excited. So many songs have two or three chords! By getting a few under the fingers we can start to learn songs and get dexterity and scales going a little later. Practice is something I can't stress enough. Get into the habit of practicing every day, even if its just for 20 minutes. Read More
