Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Accordion
I want to figure out what inspires a student. We will hone in on personal goals and use that as a basis for instruction. Motivation is key! I typically use a style of traditional classical instruction. Including scales, studies, and repertoire. I teach sight reading and ear training. I use memorization, and critical listening skills. I can teach from the beginning levels all the way up to concert playing. I can also teach other genres of music if the student desires. Read More
Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
Prior to making the transition to a full time musician, I was a swim and surf instructor for children and adults! This experience greatly prepared me for teaching music. I learned a lot about patience, communication, and having fun which is what I've been incorporating into my 3 years of teaching drums and percussion. I also have experience with different age groups, cultural backgrounds, and children with disabilities. I've taught children age 5 up to 17, I have basic conversational French and Spanish speaking skills, and I have experience with children with Autism, Aspergers, Down Syndrome and ADHD. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Music
I began teaching in high school, working with middle school students, and continued throughout my academic journey. I've taught Flute, Piano, Clarinet, and Saxophone in school bands, music stores, private studios, and my own home. With over 15 years of full-time teaching experience, Im passionate about inspiring students of all ages and helping them build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music. I believe in meeting each student where they are and creating a joyful, supportive learning environment that encourages exploration and growth. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tailor each lesson to the individual student and we set realistic goals. Some students want to learn more challenging pieces and we may work on the latter for a few weeks to a even a few months. Other students feel better working on one piece a week and then moving on. I give great constructive feedback to help improve the students rhythm, musicality, musicianship, and finger placement. All of my students practice more when they love a piece so I try to assign them pieces that interest them. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
I have been playing the saxophone for 20+ years and have had the good fortune to study with some of my jazz heroes. These lessons have not only taught me countless valuable lessons about the instrument and improvisation, but have also shown me how to teach. Spending time with many teachers with various teaching styles has helped me identify the qualities in a teacher that I find most effective, allowing me to incorporate them into my own teaching.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is about quality and consistency. It is very important to be focused on a specific goal when you're practicing, and to also make sure you are practicing the right things. You must ask yourself, why am I practicing what I am practicing? and what is the end result for practicing what I am practicing? It is also very important to be consistent with your practice. 15 minutes of focused practiced a day is better than cramming 6 hours of practice two times a week, since your muscle memory will develop much faster.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready to start lessons whenever they begin to show a strong interest for music and an aptitude for learning. Since children are highly capable of retaining information, it is probably the best point in life for them to start learning. There are so many connections being made in the brain at this young age, that they will soak everything in like a sponge, and in turn it will benefit them in the long run. Music has so many beneficial aspects. It is one of the only subjects in life that is mental, emotional, physical and spiritual all at once.
When will I start to see results?
The more time and effort you put into your musical pursuits, the quicker you will begin to see results. The results that you want to see can start happening within a matter of days if you are having consistent and quality practice sessions. Music is a life long endeavor, so depending on how far you want to take your musical pursuits will determine the amount of results you will receive. Ironically, the more you improve the harder on yourself you become, due your high expectations and you will want to see even more results more quickly. It is a journey up and downs, and ups and downs that is all relative to the individual.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had multiple teachers that have inspired me throughout my life, whether they were teaching me bass, arranging or theory, and have found that they all have something in common. They all have the ability to connect with their students in an enthusiastic way and not bog them down by being overly academic and regimented. They are able to make connections with what they are teaching to not just music itself, but with other aspects of life. I think this is very important and is something that I strive for myself as a teacher.
