Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I started teaching lessons during my final years of my undergraduate degree. Throughout the years, I have maintained a studio in each city. During my master's degree at University of Louisiana, I was a teacher of record for a woodwind technique course, which focused on scales and supplementary lessons to the student's lesson with the flute professor. At the University of Memphis, I taught supplementary lessons as well as music theory courses. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
I value musical literacy very highly and spend a great deal of time focusing on the fundamentals of reading music. I believe that if one can read the music and hear it in one’s head that anyone can play it. In addition to literacy I teach my students to establish a daily checklist of long tones and lip flexibility. I make my lessons engaging for everyone and am flexible to the students needs regardless of ability levels. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
I tend to start beginning students with the Hal Leonard Essential Elements books, but if I find that the student either has previous experience or else progresses much faster than normal, I will move them to the Rubank Blue Book instead. Fundamentals are a critical element for learning any new instrument, and that includes playing scales. When I am first beginning, I will work a student through the scales until they have played them through correctly. Read More
Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I approach teaching in a universal way before specializing on a student's particular interest within music. I try to provide students with a road map so they can determine where they want to go musically. I do this by introducing various styles and techniques that they may not have heard before. Through the years, I've found that this allows students to get out of their comfort zones and learn new rythms they didn't know before. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Harmonica
As the son of two teachers, I've seen first-hand how important great teaching can be in a young student's life. My first formal teaching experience came while working at Camp Laney--a summer camp for boys--during college. While there, I had the pleasure of working with students of varying ages and experience levels in guitar, voice, and even songwriting. I've also been a guest lecturer at Lausanne Collegiate School's occasional creative workshops. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Keyboard
My teaching style is fairly relaxed, a student needs to enjoy the lessons or we are really wasting our time. There is no reason for music lessons to be dreary, almost all of my students enjoy their lessons and have no problem coming back week after week to be challenged again. For advanced students I really want to focus on the music you really want to play. If its your dream to play light classics for friends and family, then we will work on that. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I draw from a wide range of supportive materials and repertoire. I develop each students lesson plans based on their aspirations or goals and each plan is tailored to meet them where they're at in their musical journey. I develp instructions and plans that keep their goals in mind while making sure they receive a full education during the lesson. This includes discussion of techniques and habits the lend themselves to healthy and productive growth for a musician. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It helps with structure when you want to learn the bass guitar. Practice time is very important. Practicing effectively is even more important. Effectively practicing helps with finger coordinationp. You will be able to sit down and say, “I want to learn about blues for a month.” After you get down finger warm-ups then you get into a few transcriptions you want to know about. You write them out. Then spend a few hours on just listening to the blues songs. This is practicing effectively. Get down warm-ups every practice session then get into a genre and master it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Once your child talks about the instrument all the time, it is time for them to get music lessons. The lessons will be important and your children with thank you. I say this because even though YouTube is amazing and you can learn from there, a teacher in real-time is better. The student can develop a bond with the student and share personal ideas on learning the instrument. A child should never be given am instrument just to leave it to themselves to learn it. They will never learn it the way that it is intended to be learned. The child would thank and appreciate the parent for getting them an instructor.
When will I start to see results?
The time period where the student and parent will begin to see result will vary. It will completely depend on if the child retains information from the lessons. If the child can successfully retain the information from each lesson, learn the material given in his/her personal time than no later than a month will be the time frame wher results will be seen. If the student does not understand the information and I have to go over it more and more than 6 weeks will be the time framer where results will be seen.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Growing up, I always had an eye for the bass. I really liked to hear how the instrument sounded on the radio. It always fascinated me by the look and the sound. It was so unique to me that a string instrument only had four strings and the neck was so long. From then on I began to think about it and what I would do if I had one in my possession. I enjoyed how it can have various strings and tunings and layouts. I knew that I was sold. So from that point on I began to picking the instrument out of a whole band. I was so happy to begin playing and learning that I never looked back.
