I am a passionate and motivated instruction who loves working with students and sharing my love of music of all genres.

I believe in focusing on important fundamentals in music to allow the student to achieve whatever they wish. I focus on tone, technique, and musicality for all levels to then apply these skills. I have many method books for students if they prefer to learn that way, but I can also assign tailored exercises to cater the needs of each individual student. I am here to help the student play whatever type of music they want! Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

I aim to teach my students the difference between "playing the trumpet" and "making music" and how this distinction is applied to practice. "Playing the trumpet" is a physically demanding task that requires diligent, often tedious practice to become skilled at. "Making music", on the other hand, can be done by anyone at any skill level and is lots of fun. The goal of practicing the trumpet is to become so familiar with the instrument that it becomes an extension of our body and mind, as effortless and automatic to perform as breathing or walking.

Hence, Ive developed a teaching studio that gives the student an immersive audio/video supplement. Their sound feed includes song audio, my live voice-guidance, and/or metronome, and a video feed from 4 cameras, from kit overview to focus on feet or the white-board for notation. In Fall of 2021, I produced the following promotional video for my service in-person and/or remote lessons to learn and enjoy the drum kit. Lessons notes, goals, media, and billing are all integrated in paperless logs through Google Documents, and lessons are scheduled and tracked through Google Calendar. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

If they want to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix, than we'll start with electric guitar fundamentals, focusing on classic RB styles, blues lead, and the overlap between scales and chord voicings up and down the neck. The point is, with an instrument as widely and diversely employed as the guitar, there is no single right way to teach it; it must be taught to the interests and passions of the student learning it!
