Instruments: Voice
As the head of the non-major voice lessons, I organized recitals and helped students to successfully perform for their peers; I believe that public performance is often overlooked in private studios, so I do my best to provide perfoming opportunities for my students. I love teaching all genres of singing: classical, musical theater, pop, country, soul, RB, and many others. As long as we can find good quality music, we can work on any singing style that you want!

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium
I play trombone in the Colorado Wind Ensemble, William and the Romantics (a 20 piece big band), and the Mile High Brass Quintet. I teach music at Broomfield Academy. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Lute Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I'm a classical guitarist from San Diego, and I love teaching the guitar as much as I love playing it. I have my Bachelor of Music in Classical Guitar Performance from California State University Northridge where I studied with John Dearman, a founding member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. In school I was chosen by faculty to play with the CSUN Honorary Guitar Quartet. We were invited to perform at the regional symposium for the Guitar Foundation of America. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I teach students biased on my drum philosophy that encompass rudiments, groove, and 4 way coordination. From beginners to professionals we help drummers refine their technique, learn a variety of rudiments and how they apply those to fills and grooves, in addition to helping them to gain 4 way independence. After the student works their way through various a grooves, rudiments, and 4 way coordination exercises then they begin to learn how those skills translate into playing with an ensemble. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Up to this point I have taught mostly kids between the ages of 9 and 13. A lot of this experience was through the Community Education Program at Arapahoe Community College. I was hired there as a teacher the summer after I graduated from the school. The other students have been private instruction. I am a travelling instructor, meaning I teach at students houses and not in a studio. I am a diverse guitarist who is advanced on both the electric guitar and nylon string acoustic. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students' develop a passion for music. I like to let students develop at their own pace. Realistic goals are set, and we work to meet them with each lesson. I love tailoring instruction to students' needs! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I am an upbeat energetic teacher who loves music and loves teaching. I have played saxophone since I was 8 years old, and I am now in my late 50's. I play professionally for many local Denver bands including jazz, blues, pop, contemporary, and have my own music business to play events at weddings, parties etc. I have traveled The Noreweign Cruise ships twice on jazz cruises and had the opportunity to play with the famous bassist Rufus Reed and saxophonist Lou Donaldson.

Instruments: Accordion
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The first big one was when I played Mozart's Rondo Ala Turk at a talent contest when I was 10 years old. I was always asked to join other kids playing instruments and the neighbors had their children take lessons from me. When I conquered (that's the only word I can use) Malaguena at twelve, I was very happy with myself and all the neighbors and friends were telling me how great I was. I went through a period of plateau, then I played in a couple or rock bands and wedding bands. I became bored when my aunt told me that I should take lessons from Chelso Ferrari - It changed the way I played and gave me a way to make money for school. But just the accomplishment of learning how to play jazz chords, is what I am most proud of.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start every practice session with both hand exercises: C major bass with the right hand exercise going up the keys from C to octave C. Then a concentrated exercise on the bass only. Finally, more complex right hand exercises without the bass. Repetition is really important, even if the student doesn't understand how the exercises help them at first, when they start playing songs it will click in. This is why I recommend the Palmer books for beginners and some intermediates. Palmer begins with an exercise that enhances the song that follows the exercise. Polkas are generally the most easily learned and appreciated by the student who is bored with exercises. Practice should be in two parts: one twenty minutes on exercises and one thirty five minutes on songs.
When will I start to see results?
In students with some talent, I see results within three lessons. In students with natural talent, generally after one lesson and a week of practice. If a child does not have, at least, some innate musical 'feel,' it is probably better to try another of the arts. I know people who are geniuses who can't sing or play no matter what their intelligence level. I know people who sat down at a piano when they were little and can play with the slightest bit of instruction. Look at Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles. Also, great jazz artists like Errol Garner, never had a lesson!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
No, I have been a performer not a teacher for years now. However, one of my students became very successful playing eastern european groups - polkas and rondos.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child can sing a little and follow how notes go up and down without being specifically taught, it's a good sign that there is musical ability. Also, if a child can pick out notes on a piano, using trial and error to find an easy song, that is great! My daughter was three when she played single note, Ode to Joy on the piano. She went on to study voice. Another great sign of talent is the ability to know if the notes are going up and later down as the song is sung or played. Dexterity on a keyboard typewriter is another sign that there is talent to play. You must hear the song in your head before you can play it in the beginning.
