Instruments: Guitar

I use a large number of methods. However, the chosen method or path is highly dependent on each students age, experience, musical interests, and allotted time for daily practice and study. Regardless, I suggest implementing a full curriculum encompassing study of repertoire, technique, musicality, theory, and music history for each student. Therefore, I prefer briefly conversing with each student before choosing a distinct program. Read More

If you want to learn jazz chord structure we can do that, too! If you want to improve solo on some scales, we can, of course, DO THAT!For bass guitar students I prefer to only take moderate to advanced students. I specialize in bass line composition using only a chord chart. I can teach advanced slap/pop techniques and when they should be used. A good understanding of the instrument is required. Read More

I love music and love teaching music to others. This is something I love and care about deeply. I will do nothing but give my best effort to all my students. If you’re willing to put a fair amount of effort into this, you can expect to learn a lot and have a ton of fun. It is so rewarding to get that song or riff down after putting in the effort to learn it. Read More

Instruments: Voice

For beginning students, I focus on the essentials of theory and intervals and combine with the Voice for Life method. Each lesson is tailored to the student's needs and goals, so no lesson is exactly alike in structure. For intermediate to advanced students, I focus on aural (ear) training, sight singing and rhythm and follow it with prepared pieces in order to be "audition ready". For the intermediate to advanced students, I don't use a specific tool for teaching as I feel once you are past the fundamentals of music, everyone learns differently. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons 15 years ago, and have been teaching students at my home and at students' houses. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I emphasize for my students. To truly become an accomplished musician, a student must be motivated to practice daily. I've found that teaching both classical and modern music motivates students to practice and continue to learn. Read More

As beginners, I recommend the first Hal Leonard Essential Elements Band books with EEi. The EEi feature allows students to access online features that coordinate with their private lessons and enhance their ability to learn. As students progress through the book, I add solo repertoire to the student's EEi account so they can both hear it played and record their own performance of each work of band music. Guitar students start with Essential Elements, piano students begin with Piano Adventures/Adult Piano Adventures, and both offer interactive online components which enhance the student's resources and ability to practice and learn between lessons.
