Instruments: Piano Violin Cello
When i start a beginner student, i like to use either Essential Elements or Suzuki for violin and cello. For piano, i like to use the Faber method books. As the student progresses with either instrument, I try to encourage them to continue with scales and to move up in their playing abilities and music reading. I try to mix it up for my students and ask them what they like to play just to keep them interested. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Synthesizer
My teaching experience started the last year of attending Heidelberg University when I was required to instruct a high school student drum lessons as part of my internship. After graduation in 1991 I had my first vocal student in my home. In 1995 is when I had my first experience teaching in a music store environment. The store was known as Howland's Music World and was there until 1997. In 1997 during my last few months at Howland's Music World, I was hired at Hubbard Music as voice instructor and piano instructor and worked there till 2000. Read More

I have been teaching guitar, piano, and other stringed instruments full-time since 1994. Prior to that, I was self-employed in the fast food and snack food industry. I love teaching! I finally gave up my business career for my life's passion and enjoy every minute of it! If I won the lottery tomorrow, the day after I would still be teaching music. Read More

For students who are already in an instrumental program through school, I will start with whatever method book they are using at school, and branch off from there. Depending on the instrument, I will bring in another method book specific to that instrument book and we will also use some sort of etude book. The etudes may be classical in nature or more modern music. For older students, I will help them prepare Solo and Ensemble pieces as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano since I was 4. I have been awarded diplomas in piano performance and accompaniment from Trinity College London and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, and did my Bachelor of Arts in Music (Piano Performance and Musicology) at the College of Charleston, SC, where I graduated summa cum laude. I went on to complete an artist certificate in Charleston and is now a Masters candidate at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Piccolo
Empowering my students is my first priority. They will be able to perform a song from the first lesson. I want them to enjoy learning and look forward to their lesson every week. I want them to feel confident about their musical ability and about themselves. My basic structure is a warm-up, review of previously assigned material, introduction of new material, and finishing the lesson with a student chosen song. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was in 3rd grade there was an assembly where the 5th graders came to the theater in the round and played the string instruments for us. There were violins, a viola, cello and a bass. I was mesmerized by the cello and decided that I had to play that instrument. After I signed up the music teacher called my house and asked my mom if I might be interested in playing the bass because no one had signed up for it. My mom raised me on Motown music and asked me if I would like to play the instrument that was the heartbeat of all the music we loved and then told me that if I stuck with it that she & my dad would get me an electric bass when I got to high school. I was sold and ended up loving those low tones and being the musical anchor... still love it too!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have toured the country with a number of different bands, recorded on a number of albums- including three that were all original music written by me- and have played hundreds of gigs a year for the past 15 years, and have been a successful teacher. I have been able to make a living playing and teaching music and have gotten to meet many interesting people and have been places that most people have not because of music. I have made so many friends and have had so many wonderful meals and can't imagine doing anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I'm not sure if they've won any awards but I do have quite a few former students who have gone on to college to study music and have become music teachers. I have another student who's band just got signed to a record deal and another who is on his way to study at Berklee College of Music. I have helped students write and record albums and have taught people to express themselves fearlessly and with confidence. I have little kids that look up to me and show up to their lessons excited to show me that they can perfectly play their lessons from the previous week and have had countless bands from rock band classes perform onstage for family and friends and sound amazing.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is the balance of good intonation and good time. Rhythm is the key to music and if the beat is not strong and felt within you then you are not really playing. As a bass player it is also important to be able to communicate the correct notes to the other musicians and it is hard to dial in the correct pitch on a fretless instrument that is almost as big as I am. Slowing everything down and understanding that it is better to take the time to learn something well than to get it right quickly without fully absorbing the lesson was another concept that took a while to sink in.
