My experience with teaching began in high school, about twenty years ago. Way before I had any degrees in music. I was very involved in the instrumental music program at my school and took private lessons to reinforce and enhance my knowledge and practice of the craft. A friend of mine was interested in drum set so I taught him the same way my teacher taught me. I shared whatever information I could so he could practice correctly and play with other musicians.

Music can be very complex, but it also can be very simple when broken down into parts. As a former soccer/football coach, I focus on mastery of the fundamentals thru consistency. The lesson is where you learn how to build the house, but it is in the short, concentrated bursts of daily practice that the most growth occurs. My instruction will give you the confidence and accountability to grow as a musician so that you can enjoy your craft as much as I do. Read More

As a teacher, I can adapt my teaching style to fit the unique strengths and needs of each individual student. I can work towards their goals which could include, preparing for school band concerts, preparing for auditions, learning their favorite songs, joining a band, or anything else they desire. I strive to foster an encouraging environment for self-growth, self-expression, and dedication to art. Since effective practice methods are important, I work with each student to determine their learning style and accommodate accordingly so they can achieve their best practice. Read More

I like to work with students toward their goals. Setting achievable goals with the student and guiding them as they accomplish the goals. My teaching style is to mentor and coach students so they enjoy their time playing music as well as see their progress. Helping each student with the individual challenges the encounter is a priority, and every student is unique. I always take time to find out what inspires the student and tailor the lessons and repertoire so they enjoy the music they are working on. Read More

As a parent, I understand the importance of building up from foundations, and I illustrate that same dedication as I would with my own children through teaching music. I know that everyone learns at different paces, different styles, different ways. My goal is to individualize each musical teaching experience that best serves each student's needs. I meet students at their personal level, and we build from there. That allows for students to not only feel comfortable with the expectations set, but it allows for them to feel as if they can meet goals. Read More

I have been with Musika in the Nashville/Brentwood area for ten years after a twelve year hiatus from teaching. Before touring as a full-time artist starting in 1998 I had already taught piano and voice for fourteen years in the Los Angeles area. Some of my former students are themselves music teachers and professional musicians. I can give recommendations if need be. I have been a professional musician for over thirty years. Read More
