Instruments: Piano Voice
I teach breath support, vocal range expansion, resonance, tone placement, posture, proper diction, sight reading notes, ear training, releasing tension and stage performance. I can help my students improve technique for any genres of music they want with a focus on building a solid and healthy technique. For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred’s piano book library Essential Elements. I recommend Alfred’s Prep course for age of 5 to 6 years old. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
At a first lesson I try to find out what these needs snd wants are snd discuss the various ways of obtaining these goals. If their goals are not reasonable I will discuss this but I will never destroy their hopes. I once had a six year old student who after one lesson wanted her daughter to compete in this world competition. I thought to myself she couldnt never as l after one lesson and the deadline for the competition was in three months, but I did let her know with time and practice such a goal could be possible.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I began teaching while in college. I taught band at an Elementary school for 5 Years. I also went on to become an adjunct professor at The University of the District of Columbia teaching "Jazz Trumpet" and "Beginning Jazz Piano". What I love about teaching is the moment when a student "gets it". I love to see that expression of amazement on their faces as they overcome some obstacle that may have been previously plaguing them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been sharing my love of music and teaching students for more than 10 years. I strongly believe in encouraging my students to practice and set up goals that would help them grow. These goals include learning a new challenging piece, getting prepared for a recital, audition or competition. I believe in helping my students with learning how to practice on their own and being able to work independently from our lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
Everything we talk about carries over past the art of playing the trumpet. For example, learning how to be a team player, creativity, and the reward of daily practice teaches the student about success in many different contexts. I do expect my students to practice at least four to five times a week so that lessons are as productive as they can be. I do try to find out what inspires each student, be it types of music or anything in the outside world. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard
Also, I will use books by Czerny and early Bach tutorials. My teacher at Peabody, Fernando Laires was a student of Isidor Philipp (who himself was of the school of Chopin and Lizst) and as a result I teach the independence, relaxed form, and energy conservation of their schools of technique. For percussion I focus on rudiments, and stick control. When teaching drum set, I teach keeping time, fills, and cross-sticking. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Simple answer. PERFECT practice makes perfect.
In other words if you don’t concentrate while you’re practicing it is near to a waste of time.
30 minutes of hard concentrated practice everyday would be better than fiddling around for two hours, not really paying attention to what your doing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Well I would have to say that his or her interest has to be peaked. Any bit of interest is enough to give lessons a shot. Maybe they will stick with it maybe they won’t but it is worth getting some lessons if they show interest in an instrument.
When will I start to see results?
I would say it will take about two months to start seeing progression on the instrument. 6 months will be where the parent or parents will really start to “hear” the improvement.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I started music on my own when I was young. No specific person peaked my interest. Although later on I had teachers that taught me what it was like to be a professional musician, through they’re actions and advice.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The tone of the bass just really grabbed my attention. I don’t know exactly why. I just became attracted to the sound when I was young.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Mastering four instruments is my most proud achievement. Tours and other things are meaningless if I am not happy with the way I play when I put my head on the pillow at night.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I won the top bass scholarship at a prominent music school in LA.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience to do the boring technique work. Patience is still hard to master at times.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I collect from all those yes and more.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Anywhere from an hour to two hours of concentration technique work. Intertwined with songs or “riffs” that I have been working on.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in bass theory. I chose this because bass is my fundamental instrument. The theory I then learned can be transferred to any instrument
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Claire De Lune on piano, I haven’t played it yet. It is my dream piece because it is my dads favorite song to play on piano.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be in some type of environment help career.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Funk if I have to choose. Just because the feel is so happy and light hearted.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I needed more melody and chords that he bass couldn’t give me.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandfather and father both play music. I grew up listening to my dad play piano. He was and is my biggest influence.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was in my room playing bass late at night alone when I was about 14 and it hit me how quickly I was learning this thing. I knew it was what I was supposed to do.
