I let my students determine their own pace. I want my students to be comfortable around me, whether if they have a question or just are curious about something. Sometimes a lesson could be a simple jam session. You can learn with a plan, or get the creative juices flowing with a nice easy jam sesh. What I love most about drumming is the endless rhythms and sounds the world has to offer. Read More

My musical experience dates back to 1997 when I first had the opportunity to start playing the snare drum in my middle school band program. It was a great way for me to feel better about my school day and highlighted the common interests I had with my classmates. A few years later I wanted a drum set and started a band with my school mates to showcase songs like, "wipe out" and "all the small things" ( a pop/punk song from blink 182 in 1999) at the school talent show.

I believe in a holistic approach to music education, starting with the foundational elements that ensure long-term success. I use the Faber Piano Adventures series, which I myself learned from as a young pianist, to ensure the proper learning of fundamentals. From the beginning, I incorporate music theory and aural skills/ear training to foster a comprehensive understanding of music. Repertoire is carefully assigned according to the student's level, with pieces becoming progressively more advanced at the appropriate times. Read More

I'm a young Baritone vocalist who currently studies vocal performance at the Florida State University College of Music in Tallahassee, Florida. I've been playing the piano and singing since 2008, when I began my formal training in both disciplines. Although my primary focus is in classical music, I have also had years of experience in Jazz, Musical Theatre, and Pop genres with both instruments. One of my favorite musical memories that I've made is when I was given the opportunity to sing Leonard Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms" on the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York City. Read More

The most important step in ensuring a student gets focused instruction towards their plans is to come up with a teaching plan for what they wish to accomplish, either with the student or parent/guardian depending on their age and experience. My style incorporates music theory, standard repertoire, and ear training into their lessons so that they have a well-rounded understanding of music and how to better engage with it in the real world.
