Instruments: Piano
For beginners, I generally stick with the Faber Method books, as I enjoy their unity of music theory and practical application more than other method series. It is my goal to remove students from methods as soon as possible- somewhere around early intermediate skill level, so that we may engage with more meaningful repertoire from the 'greats', as well as give the students the tools to take agency over their own repertoire choices, including transcriptions of popular media.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for the trumpet and music. Therefore, it is very important to me that I make the lessons both fun and productive for the students. I will gear my teaching style to whatever works best for the individual student. If the student wants to be pushed hard then I can do that or if they just want to have fun and play music, I am fine with that too. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe
I am a current student at Ball State University studying to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Instrumental/General Music Education with an add-on in Vocal Education. I am passionate about teaching music and helping others reach their full potential on whatever instruments they want to play. I am versatile and can play on almost every instrument with piano as my primary focus. When I am not teaching, I spend my time practicing, performing, and always striving to improve on any and every instrument I have available. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
My teaching experience with guitar goes back to about age 14, when I was understanding and advancing faster than others around me or someone would ask me for advice or help. I never had the chance nor opportunity to advance my studies to get a degree. Thoughout all these years it has been shown that some gifts are certainly not to be taken advantage of. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started teaching lessons when I was 18 at a music business and taught there between 3 to 5 hours a week for about 5 years. For the past 5 years I have been teaching at IU. I have taught many different styles from classical to jazz to rock, etc. and have also watched many great teachers and tried to learn from their methods. I am currently working on a book to teach the notes and fretboard of the guitar that will hopefully be able to help students of any age or experience. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students grow and develop to being an outstanding musician! I understand that all students do progress at their own pace, but it is my goal to get your student there in the fastest and most efficient way. The most efficient way is not just playing in a session with me, but practicing at home. This will double the speed of development. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was growing up mostly of what was on the radio was what would be classified as Pop Country and and Classic Rock. Pop Country never spoke to me because I had a difficult time liking the vocal twang. Classic Rock, however, always seemed to have these sweet riffs. Things that your ears would really gravitate toward and were memorable. It just seemed like it would so much fun to be able to do. On top of that the tone was so varied. You could listen to a song that had a somber and sweet guitar part, or one that was truly gritty and brutal. So the sound was extremely important for me.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm really proud to have had the opportunity to acquire the Classical Guitar Graduate Assistantship at Ball State University. I truly learned a lot about how to teach from that opportunity. Likewise, I'm proud of having spent some time in Chicago teaching for Merit School of Music and Sherwood Community Music School. With every new student I had the opportunity to teach I had a new opportunity to learn and improve my approach to each students needs and the way I explain topics. I'm truly grateful for every student I've taught.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have not had any students that have been awarded special honors or awards. While I have had students that have the potential to achieve those things, I simply haven't been in one place long enough to see them reach that point. Learning an instrument takes time. Additionally, if your goal is only to improve for yourself or just learn a few songs you really enjoy then reaching that level isn't unnecessary. Only a handful of students I've had have wanted to achieve that level of playing. And for them I am certain they will reach that goal.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master for most people is patience. Even with physical or cognitive hurdles, knowing that you need to patient and not rush the progress is crucial to improvement. If you can stop and recognize that you're just stumbling through a few measures and can work on just that then you're in a much better place than most people who are picking up an instrument. So many people get frustrated because they can't get something and think that playing it quickly will get them to where they want to go. Just remember that patience is key.
