Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I started teaching right after high school, helping at band camps and during the season. I started giving lessons soon after and in 2007 I was offered the oppurtunity to be the drumline instructor for a local high school. I would teach there until 2012. I wrote exercises, cadences, their show music, and taught them all the fundementals of marching and proper playing technique. Every year we would also perform an indoor show which I wrote both the music and drill. Read More

I love to watch a student progress. It gives me such joy to see them happy. I always evaluate every student and I set for them small and realistic goals. I explain to them that in order to achieve a certain goal you must first obtain the facility by practicing the exercises assigned to them. Sometimes its hard for small children to understand why they are doing a certain exercise so I explain to them and show what the drummer is doing on a certain performance they want to emulate and in order to achieve that, they must go through the exercises assigned.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon Music
For beginners, they must learn how to play the instrument. So books like standard of excellence or essential elements are great resources. I will guide them through what the book cannot explain and help them truly internalize aspects of playing their instrument. For more advanced players, we will work on tone, advanced technique, new styles as well as history, modern practices and more. Depending on their progress , I will ensure any recital music is music that they want to play, as well as music that really shows their progress on the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
For any student, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements series. This method book will help teach the basic fundamentals needed to progress on the instrument. For children, I will continue through the method book series while supplementing it with short popular pieces that may be of interest to the student. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep it fun and enjoyable. Read More

My teaching experience goes back into my senior year in high school. I was a student intern for my school at Avon Elementary School. At first, I took notes and watched the teacher engage the kids in the lesson. But as time progressed on, I began to teach the kids about the different types of notes and percussion. When it came to teaching percussion, I taught them how to play rhythms with sticks. Read More
Instruments: Flute Recorder Shakuhachi
During my work with this program at the bedside, I saw what live music could do for a person's health in the way of improved blood pressure, improved heart rate and less stress. Then I had training with a Music Therapist who taught group drumming for wellness. I found that I discovered a love for the at risk youth who were in school at a treatment center that came to my groups. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I was trained in the Leschetizky and Schnabel methods, so those are the primary influences of my technical approach. As for method books for young students, it depends on their strengths and needs which I assess in the first lesson. From that assessment, I assign a methods book that best fits them. If none of them are satisfactory, I have a library of my own written exercises and methods that I provide for free. Read More
