Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
I have a tremendous love of music. Music has greatly enhanced my life. I try to share this love of music with my students. I have a love of teaching. I try to share my musical knowledge with my students. I attempt to find the way to inspire students to find their way to pursue their musical studies. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I like to keep my students motivated. I like to set goals, not only for myself as a teacher, but also for my students. The reason for this is that if the student is working towards a goal they have a motivation to keep moving forward. An example of this could be the student's goal is to attend an audition three times a year, or they want to learn how to sing for a school talent show. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I want to help my students feel joy in music making and a healthy happy attitude toward music for a lifetime. I strive to maintain a positive, enjoyable atmosphere at all times while also encouraging students to be self-disciplined in their studies and practice. A small amount of practice done consistently can go a long way to ensure progress! I am happy to discuss time management with my students to help them find ways to integrate regular practice and study into their very busy schedules and I encourage positive self - talk from the students themselves with the understanding that we all make mistakes during the learning process.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My passion is performing music and teaching others how to do the same. Most of my performance experience is on saxophone in the jazz, rock, blues, and pop genres. However, I also have a great passion for classical music and recorded a classical album titled Contrasts available on all streaming platforms. I have more than 10 years of experience teaching private saxophone, flute, and clarinet lessons. I also taught 3 years as a teaching assistant and 3 years as the instructor of record for a Continuing Education course at the University of Colorado. Read More
Instruments: Drums
My teaching experience began over a decade ago, working with students of different ages and skill levels who wanted to explore rhythm and drums. Over the last few years, Ive been teaching private lessons both in-person and online, with a focus on making drumming approachable and fun for everyone, from complete beginners to more advanced players interested in jazz and Afro-Cuban styles. For younger students, I emphasize consistent practice habits and celebrate every milestone to keep motivation high. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Balance between discipline and creativity. We tend to lean towards certain musical elements at different times of our musical developments. I try to be sensitive to the unique interests of each student, and at the same time use my experience to suggest material that would nourish their particular musical interests. There are a lot of aspects in learning to play the piano and explore music. Reading , memorizing ,hearing ,performing, composing and improvising.I try to include all of the above in the lessons but again I'm sensitive to the individual interests of each student. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music
I work with students to get them to a level where they can enoy the music they like. I want my students to bring music thay want to explore and I work with them to be able to play with enthusiasm. Music is an endless science as one of my professors said "The more you learn the more you realize what you don't know". Tone and harmonics are essential for saxophone playing. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start out small. Don't just practice the easy stuff, or the songs you already know. Set a timer for a realistic amount of practice time; maybe just 10-15mins at first. Record yourself running through songs or exercises and listen back taking notes. Also, always keep a practice log to write down what you're working on, as well as your goals! I think that listening productively to music you want to learn is also practicing, as well as working on music with other musicians. Try to constantly improve and practice consistently!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I LOVE teaching all ages, including young beginners. I think there's something really special about introducing an instrument or sound to a child. Does your child want to get involved in their school or community musically? Are they looking for a hobby or an outlet? Music shaped who I was when I was young, and led to many life-long friendships. I think your child is ready to start lessons if they have access to an instrument, and have access to music listening sources (iPods,youtube, speakers, school concerts, etc..)
When will I start to see results?
As soon as you get your bearings on an instrument (knowing where hands go, how to produce a sound) you can start to see results. If you practice a few minutes daily, and listen to music you're passionate about your playing will grow exponentially! My goal is for a student to learn a song they like after the first two lessons, along with learning how to practice and learn songs on their own! After a couple months, I aim for students to be at an intermediate level, reading music, learning songs, and hopefully loving their instrument more than ever before.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was a lucky kid when it came to teachers. At a young age, I was introduced to the piano and guitar by my father and the cello by a school teacher, Ms.Bonds. Their support and encouragement led me to art schools, the bass, and more influential teachers. By the time I was in high school, I knew music was the path for me. I fully believe that that was possible because of my inspiring teachers. They taught me technique, showed me music, and introduced me to other learning musicians. They showed me that music was cool, and the music community was even cooler.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Bass is my primary instrument (although I've been playing guitar for just as long). I picked the bass, because it was needed in my school band. My teacher asked if any students wanted to switch from cello to bass, and I decided to give it a go. As soon as I plucked the strings, I knew I wanted to be a bass player. I loved how the bass was used in every genre of music, and that it could help me understand jazz, classical, and rock music better. The bass taught me about the roles different instruments take in the band, and how to make a song better.
