I started teaching in January of 2014 and havent stopped since. In the almost 4 years Ive been doing this, Ive enjoyed growing and developing as both a teacher and musician. I work with children and teenagers almost every day and have learned to adapt my teaching style to each students individual learning styles. Ive taught in multiple settings, including privately, group lessons, as part of a studio, and in a church setting with both an adult choir and childrens choir. Read More

Most of all I enjoy sewing the seed of passion that I received when I began playing my first guitar at the age of 8, and nurturing that which has brought me to love and enjoy the music I experience everyday of my life. I hope that everyone of my students gets out of the each lesson exactly what they came for and more. Whether you are looking for a hobby, trying to reach mastery, or just want to learn a few tunes for a loved one, I want to focus the lesson to your desire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Banjo

I began teaching piano in high school and continued into my college years. I then spent the next decade touring in bands and recording in some of the top studios in Los Angeles. I have worked with some of the best in the business including Rick Rubin, John Shanks, and Jason Falkner, just to name a few. These experiences have given me the knowledge of being a musician in the real world, which I try and impart to my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano

Playing the piano has been a lifelong passion for me and I am excited for the opportunity to pass on my love and skill for music to anyone who wishes to engage in this rewarding art form. Although I have been involved in several styles of music over my career; gospel, jazz, blues, contemporary Christian, and classical, I have spent most of my life as a church musician. Most recently, I was the worship pastor for a medium sized church in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

From my own experience learning music, my greatest motivation has been the fun of discovering something new. I motivate my students with the same ideology. I build my student's curriculum based on music that they have a love and passion for, music that they will be excited to learn. I also teach students practice techniques that will bolster the students growth with efficiency and fun. I help students to track gradual growth in their practice by honing their routines into healthy learning habits. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
That's a great question! The difficulty of mastering different aspects of an instrument can vary from person to person, but there are some common challenges that many students face. One of the most challenging aspects of learning any instrument is developing a strong sense of musicality and expression. It's not just about playing the right notes; it's about conveying emotion and telling a story through your music. This requires a deep understanding of dynamics, phrasing, and articulation. It can take a lot of practice and time to truly master this aspect of playing an instrument. Additionally, technique can also be quite challenging to master. This involves developing precise finger or bow control, breath control (for wind instruments), and coordination between your hands or fingers. Building a solid foundation in technique is crucial for playing more advanced pieces of music. Lastly, consistent practice and discipline are essential for mastering any instrument. Learning to stay motivated and focused on your practice routine can be a significant challenge, especially for young learners. It's important to set achievable goals and celebrate small victories along the way to keep the motivation alive. Ultimately, the hardest thing to master on any instrument is a combination of these factors: musicality, technique, and consistent practice. It's a journey that requires dedication and patience, but with the right guidance and determination, your child can make great progress and enjoy the rewards of playing their instrument.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Thank you for your question! I do indeed use specific teaching methods and materials to guide my instrumental lessons. The choice of teaching method and books can greatly impact a student's learning experience and progress. In my teaching approach, I primarily use a combination of well-established methods like Suzuki, along with some customized materials, including my own 9 book series for scales. Here's why I've chosen these methods and materials: 1. Suzuki Method: The Suzuki method emphasizes ear training, listening, and repetition. It's particularly effective for younger children as it mimics the way they naturally learn their first language. This approach helps develop a strong foundation in music, focusing on technique, tone production, and musicality from the beginning. It also encourages parental involvement, which can be very beneficial, especially for younger students. 2. Customized Scale Series: I've created my own 9 book series for scales because scales are fundamental to developing a strong technique on any instrument. These books are designed to progressively introduce scales and arpeggios in a way that is tailored to the student's level of advancement. They cover different keys, fingerings, and musical contexts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of scales, which are essential for playing a wide variety of music. 3. Supplementary Materials: In addition to the Suzuki method and my scale series, I also incorporate supplementary materials from various sources like Alfred, Bastion, and Hal Leonard. These materials offer a diverse range of music pieces, exercises, and theory lessons that help enrich the student's musical education. I select specific pieces and exercises based on the student's interests and goals. 4. Individualized Approach: Every student is unique, so I adapt my teaching methods and materials to meet their specific needs and learning styles. Some students may benefit more from a structured method like Suzuki, while others may require a more flexible approach, drawing from various sources. Ultimately, my goal as a music instructor is to provide a well-rounded education that equips my students with the skills and knowledge they need to become proficient musicians. By combining established teaching methods with customized materials, I aim to create a learning experience that is both engaging and effective for your child's musical journey.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
