I love music as an art form, as well as from an analytical standpoint. My goal is to create powerful THINKERS who use the medium of music to push the boundaries of their understanding. I began my musical journey at the age of 8 where I studied cornet playing under K.C. Hughes. It was during these lessons that my passion for learning new styles developed. In the 9th grade I ended my time as a trumpet student, and began playing tuba. Read More

I have been teaching on and off since 2016. People would ask me for spontaneous lessons and I would meet them either in their home. Most of my lessons were on vocals or piano.

One step at a time is how you get where you are desiring and aiming to go. Read More

Another possibility is that I ask them to prepare their audition pieces or anything they want to learn by the next lesson. This might include assigning listening to recordings, practicing tricky passages, or working on a new technique that I might have showed them. I'm also big on recording one's own playing and listening back to it. If you stop reading here and just do that, then you can get VERY far without any teachers at all. Read More
