Instruments:
I always guide my instructions accordingly to my studets needs to keep the lessons engaging and fun. I try to get to know my students as well as possible so I can pick them the right pieces to play. For beginning students I typically use Nancy and Randall Faber's PreTime Piano, however I also put my personal touch in every students program depending on their skill level, age and interests. I always pick pieces that I am sure my students will enjoy learning but also have them gain a new important skill. I also supply visual help such as stickers and drawings to ensure understading of a subject.
Instruments:
I believe in a balance between challenging my students and encouraging them. Students are at their very best when they feel affirmed and empowered, but also when the teacher is aware of their full potential and pushes them to achieve that. I believe in a very detailed approach where I am actuely aware of each of the student's particular strengths and areas for improvement and closely monitor their progress in areas of technique, musicality, expression, articulation, facility, and finesse. Nothing is more fun than realizing that we can achieve greater things than we ever thought we could!
Instruments:
I will be graduating from SAE institute with a degree in Sound Audio technology, which also qualify me to teach DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software like Protools, Ableton and more. I enjoy playing my Bass guitar, but my first love i think is playing drums. I have been playing trumpet in Jr. High recieved honor and was recruited to Collins High in 1977 which I later transferred to Manley high to play in the Jazz band there. O'Quinn Drum and Bugle Corp in the early 70's and was teaching the Drum line in the late 70's early 80's. I have played in many DCI competions around the world.
Instruments:
I love seeing my students excited about music. I like students to bring in music they feel passionate about so we can break it down and start to understand what makes it work. I find it important to set goals, adjust goals when things aren’t working and celebrate them when they are. Because of the great instruction I have had in my life, I understand the importance of being a teacher. I take great pride in helping my students succeed!
Instruments:
I focus on individual goals more than anything. It can be bewildering to jump into the musical ocean for the first time so the most effective way to begin is to pick something tangible, accomplish it, then build upon that experience. Without goals your musical experience will likely fizzle. My goal as a teacher is to create a doorway into the world of music and encourage a life long student of music and ultimately the world because music is a universal language.

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.
