Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
Each student is different and I try to cater to each individual's learning style. For little ones and young musicians, I use a game board with all kinds of fun music activities and tasks to land on and play. I'm a fan of the Alfred instructional book series especially for beginners. Depending on what each student would like to achieve, I like to plan out a timeline to stay on track. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching since my college years, as an informal coach, as part of pedagogy or internship assignments, or as a paid instructor. Lessons or work sessions may have been part of readying a friend for a solo in a church gathering, giving tips or pointers for an upcoming stage musical number, assistance with learning an art song, or a formal paid lesson to focus on technique, artistry, diction, interpretation, and delivery.

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba
I start my first lessons by having students play their favorite song. I do this only for students who have played the trombone before. I use this to see what level they are at. For beginners I with the fundamentals and get them playing right away. I have a variety of etudes, exercises, solo pieces and techniques. I teach my students how to perform and to be a professional. I also encourage to students to practice at least 1 hour a day. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My experience teaching music goes back about 8 years ago when i graduated from High School. Going into college, i began takin on students whom were eager to learn or had an interest in playing music. Seeing how music has had a profound effect on my life, i began to have a passion for mentoring others. For any student, i would recommend they plan out a consistent practicing plan. I always find out what inspires my student and as well as the goals they would like to accomplish. Read More
Instruments: Lute
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really love to play music from the Early Renaissance and Late Baroque with everything in between! It is beautiful and thoughtful music. The satisfaction of refining your interpretation is the greatest feeling.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The natural love of the Music really compelled me to venture out to New areas. This is how I picked up the handful of Instruments that I try to play well.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I'd love to play Marco Dall'aquilla's 54th Ricercar (which I am practicing.) It is written just after the Medieval period, in the Phyrigian Mode - the mode of the soul.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Working on Instruments, no doubt. It's hard to imagine myself not involved in music at some capacity. Perhaps if I weren't a player, I'd want to make and repair.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Certification of Performance and Musical History - It is my life's passion indeed. As a player, I wanted to share music at recitals and small, quiet events.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
First, my practice plan of selected music. Then, a warm up that is based on the given music, both for left and right hand. From there, the music is addressed phrase by phrase as to create smaller pieces of music within the music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Many Lutenists and Guitarists would agree that consistency of articulation is their premier nemesis! The ability to play in a way that is accurate and meaningful is always the most important and most difficult aspect of playing.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Indeed, many of my students went on to win competitions such as the Young Talent Award, Classical Guitar Summit Championship and Musician of the Year (Junior College)
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been fortunate to tour this beautiful country several times, playing in all states (aside from Alaska & Hawaii.) My accolades and monetary gains are very meaningless in the shadow of all the lovely people and country I encountered during those years.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was very drawn to plucked Instruments my whole life, really. The Lute, my primary Instrument, is basically a time machine or window into another world of absolute grandiose and beauty. I was drawn to it's gentle and bell like quality. It just felt so true and mysterious.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mentor and dear friend changed my life and view of music. His name is Andreas Martin, and he is the finest musician I know. Although I met him later in my career, it was as if I was renewed musically, setting off on a new journey to Ithaca!
When will I start to see results?
The results, provided the student utilizes the advice and directions given, May be seen nearly immediately. The first two lessons are meant to inspire and offer a clear, fun path to musical success.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a structure and interior vision of your goals is really important. Playing music appropriate for your level is key, and moving on when needed is sometimes hard to do. I believe this is where a tutor can be immensely helpful. In that regard, practice should be just that - practicing the necessary techniques, fundamentals and observing the correct hand postures are imperative.
