Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Synthesizer French Horn Keyboard
As an instructor and musician I have explored a huge variety of different musical styles froma roudn the world, as well as the cognitive fundamentals of learning. I try to preapre my students with learning tools that will allow them to continue improving even after my time as their instructor is over. I focus especially on building an understanding of how and why to acquire strong fundamentals, so that we can collaboratively drive their learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
I have a passion for teaching music! It is so rewarding to watch others grow and develop not only as musicians, but as people. In my studio, students learn in a fun and challenging environment that leads to rapid musical growth. I use aural and visual teaching methods, along with demonstration and imagination, to create a holistic approach to teaching that all students can grasp. In my instruction I try to be balanced in music selection. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
My teaching style is technical and yet open ended. I stress knowing scales, chords, inversions like the back of your hand to enable you to put them together just as we put the English language together. Letters become words which become sentences which become paragraphs which become stories. Keys become scales which build chords which build progressions which build phrases which build songs. Knowing this language of music, one can freely express what they hear in their mind outwardly to their audience. Read More
Instruments: Piano
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.

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I have learned quite a bit from my teaching experience, but there are two things that consistently hold significant importance to me. The first is that every student is unique - no two students, no matter how similar their interests, should necessarily have the same curriculum or be taught the same way. The second is that every student should be constantly feeding their passion(s) - not every step of learning and improving always feels fun at the time, but if the student has a chance to be passionate about what they are doing, even the most difficult work will feel purposeful and rewarding.

I will then add more performance pieces that they can be proud of performing at recitals, for their friends, etc. I also play games with younger students like music reading flashcards, rhythm video games, and more. For adults, I put a lot of importance on whatever the student wants out of the lesson. If they dont want to learn to read music or want a less formal lesson, then thats okay! Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Music Keyboard
I am a Chicago-based freelance Trombonist who recently graduated from DePaul University in 2021. Since I began my college career in Chicago, my professional music career started up simultaneously. Since 2017, I've played in a wide variety of ensembles around town. These ensembles / genres include: Wedding Bands, Jazz, Big Band, Classical, Funk, Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, Salsa, Rap, House, Fusion and more. I currently play in a few bands around town including: the Nasty Snacks, Chicago Afrobeat Project, Las Calaveras LD, Alan Gresik Swing Orchestra, and my own jazz trio. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was the first instrument that I played after that there was no debate. The piano should be the first choice of instruments for all parents because of the following reasons:
It uses both hands and all 10 fingers
By using both hands in unison the piano helps to correct mirror movement tendencies
The piano develops aural skills
The brain processes music and language in the same regions and at the same time and at one location they actually overlap. Therefore, when playing the piano the brain is developing and integrating:
language
spatial-temporal reasoning skills and many more too numerous too list here.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My Senior Recital Performance when I played 30 minutes of Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and 30 minutes of Rachmaninov piano repertoire, as well as my performances at Southern Seminary with internationally known Dr Maurice Hinson.
In addition to my personal successful performances, my best performances are those of my students performing Rachmaninov Prelude in G# minor, or 6.5 year old autistic child on the autism spectrum playing at a recital at Butler University, as well as a student performing Aram Khachaturian's Toccata in E flat minor at Indiana University Young Pianist Program Recital.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my students was invited to attend a piano camp at Indianan University, at the conclusion of the camp, 3 weeks later, he was invited to play in the honours recital there. Later he won a full-tuition scholarship for Texas Christian University and was invited to study piano there with the director of the Van Cliburn International Chopin Competition. He made his debut in Carnegie Hall in the spring of 2018, and prior to that, he made his first CD of Alexander Tansman's music.
Many of my students win first place in piano competitions, play for jazz bands and praise bands at their schools and churches.
My GREATEST honour, however, is when my students with autism or other developmental disorders, and cerebral palsy as well, walk on stage and play their solos with pride. That is the ultimate honour!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The greatest challenge that I have when performing on a piano is learning the feel of the instrument, learning it's "voice", tone quality, touch, response, action, the pedal condition in order to learn to master the instrument to make it do and say what the composer intended. Each piano is different, the touch, the mechanisms, and the pitch also, which requires a firm hand and familiarity with that instrument. Playing PPP is very difficult to play soft and still hear it, then make the tone sound like a bell, or a human voice: very difficult.
