I believe in teaching people to be true musicians and tap into their own creative spirits, not just to be technicians at the mercy of what's written for them. With that said, I take a balanced approached between learning traditional fundamentals and some of my own more philosophical approach, drawing on metaphors and analagous experiences to help frame this learning experience in ways the student can relate and understand. I call this The Art of Practice, which you'll be able to apply elsewhere in your life as well. Read More

As I'm struggling to describe my teaching style, I'm realizing that it is very adaptable as I am teaching such a variety of learners. I have found so much joy in music and am motivated to see my students succeed and move past the repetitive beginner stage to actual music making and a tool they can use in their lives. For this reason, I will select music that inspires and encourages my students and will give honest feedback to help them grow as musicians. Read More

As a kid, I really disliked my piano lessons. as a teacher I want to put an emphasis on having fun in my lessons, because music, as i've come to realize, is one of the most fun activities to partake in. that being said, it is essential to know the fundamentals and techniques, so I will most likely use method books such as Alfred's or Hal Leonard's, especially for people starting fresh.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own place. I encourage this by setting goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Concept teaching is the most effective for advancing the musicians development. Teaching specific details and then showing how they can be moved and manipulated for a greater concept theme will give the students confidence that they actually understand what is happening musically from plenty angles and the ability to maneuver through the music and instrument as seamless as possible. Taking it bit by bit will allow for laying foundational bricks that will be an anchor for concept building. Read More

When will I start to see results?
The more consistently you practice, the quicker the results will be. But the key is to have patience! It will take time. Anything good takes time and is worth waiting for. The beauty of music is that there is always more to learn and even when you get to the skill level of a professional musician or a college graduate of music school, you will still want more results. So enjoy the process! But as I said before, 5 minutes of focused practice a day will go miles farther than an hour or two here and another hour later in the week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child can talk or walk, they can play an instrument! It is never to early to start learning. Some of the best musicians in the world started playing music around the time they started talking. If anything, just put an instrument in their hands and let them get used to the feel of it, or let them enjoy making the sounds of it. In one of my favorite books on music education, Effortless Mastery, Kenny Werner often talks of letting go of the need to sound good and going back to the state of mind of a child first playing an instrument. I think that could be the most valuable time in learning music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, enjoy it. It should not be a chore. If it is, find a way to make it fun (ex. practice to fun backing tracks instead of a click metronome).
Second, 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than 2 hours of unfocused frustrated practice. Set a 5 minute goal each day, and when the timer goes off, if you're still enjoying it, keep practicing. If not, put it away until tomorrow!
Third, don't move on until you have the material you are working on truly mastered. Trust me, you will enjoy playing it much more once you have mastered it!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Right now I try to put in at least 20-30 minutes a day doing warmups on the upright bass, and often that's all I do! My warmups generally include playing slow scales bowed with a tuner or a drone and some metronome practice (walking a fast bass line with the metronome only on beat 4, or a really slow bass line and trying to keep the time on my own). I also spend a lot of time gigging and going to jam sessions, which I consider practice as well. If I have extra solo practice time, I generally spend it learning new tunes (there are ALWAYS more to learn!) or transcribing bass lines or solos.
