Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Banjo Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching music ever since I began to develop a formal education myself. I began by teaching anyone and everyone I could as early as my first year of college. I quickly figured out that anyone could really learn this stuff. I also realized that most people wanted to learn at some point, just never got around to it or stopped believing they could. It has always been my mission to reverse this kind of thinking for those who want it, and help people understand it is never too late to learn. Read More

My methods vary on a case to case basis.Beginer to advanced level grade placement consideration. First lessons are typically to evelauate students strengths and weakness and pivotal areas of focus. I then prepare a custom curriculum and that best fit them fits student. My Main goal is to assist my students in attaining their music and performance goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
As a licensed teacher with experience teaching pretty much every age (1st grade-adult) and skill level of students, across a wide variety of subjects (English lit.-music theory), I have developed a music program that gets students learning fast -- and enjoying it! As much as I love making music -- being part of a group performing songs live is a huge thrill! -- that's not my profession... My profession is teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano
After starting piano performance at age 12 and music composition at age 14, I shortly graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2012 with a Music Composition/Theory degree and have composed nearly 4 hours of Symphonies, Concertos, Soundtracks, Jazz Combos, Woodwind Ensembles, Choral works, World musics, and other forms of Postmodernism. Since Post-Graduation, I've been taking composition lessons with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra composer William Hill, and is composing his Third Symphony. Read More

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method. Instrumental lessons usually follow the method book that is selected by their school band director. Beyond that I have a large library of supplementary music to expand the students interest with new styles and composers.I'm very flexible with the method books and after I get to know the student I can select a method that would work the best for instruction.

Before earning my degree, I was a home educator for 5 years. In 2017, I was approached by Apple Valley Piano and Guitar (MN) to join their team of private instructors for their sub-group, A Plus Music Studios. During that time, I had the very great privilege to teach students of all ages ranging from 6 years to active seniors. In addition to guitar, I teach beginning piano. I also enjoy coordinating jam sessions for the students. Read More

I have also taught at Elbert County Charter School grades kindergarten through the 8th grade in general music education. I have served as the minister of music at St Paul's Methodist Church in Burlington NC, Aurora First Presbyterian Church in Aurora Colorado and at Providence Presbyterian in Parker Colorado. I am currently serving as the praise team music assistant for Our Savior's Church in Lakewood Colorado Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I started lessons in 3rd grade but quit in fifth grade after getting bored and losing motivation. In sixth grade, Elton John music became a thing for me and one of his pieces especially drew me back to the piano. My father, hearing me bang out the introductory opening line of that piece - rather badly - said "If you're going to keep doing that, you need to go back to lessons." That was all it took. We found a teacher who would let me bring my Elton John music as long as I played whatever she had as well. There were other defining instances in addition, but that was the BIG one.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started taking piano lessons first - in third grade. I remember being very excited to get started with that. As my father was a band director, I started playing in band in fourth grade. The shape of my mouth was a concern as we were aware I would be getting braces soon. It was highly recommended I stay away from certain instruments including trumpet, which I did have an interest in. My father took me to visit his band room where we looked some instruments over. Since my father played trombone, I decided to make that my choice as well.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
1. I would go into business for myself. Invent something, perhaps write a book. Then market it. I love the entrepreneurial spirit of defining a need, creating something then making peoples' lives a little better by fulfilling that need.
2. I do have a desire to work with wood and make things, however I presently have no skill that way and no shop to work in. That may change someday, but presently that is not a reality.
3. I occasionally collect things. A buy/sell business that restores and trades antiques/historical items interests me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I play music in churches every Sunday. I play various dinner/nightclubs quite frequently. Between these two types of gigs, I cover a lot of types of music. I dabble in classical and enjoy the challenge. I dabble in jazz with varying degrees of success. My favorite music to play however has to be my own improvisations and compositions. I have been officially composing since 1981 in college. But, even before I started taking lessons in third grade, I found myself piecing together melodies that seemed to make sense to me.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
As a musician who has varying degrees of taste crossing many different genres, I have musical influences that lead my wish-list all over the spectrum. Here is a small portion of that list:
Keith Emerson - "Piano Concerto 1, Mvmts. 1, 2 & 3"
Keith Jarrett - "The Moth and the Flame Parts 1,2,3,4,5"
Keith Jarrett - "The Köln Concert Parts 1,2a,2b,2c"
Herbie Hancock - "Dolphin Dance"
Ludwig van Beethoven - Sonata No. 21 in C Major Op. 53 "Waldstein"
Ludwig van Beethoven - Sonata No 8, Op 13 "Pathetique"
Sergei Rachmaninoff - "Piano Concerto No's 2 & 3"
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely runs in my immediate family. My father was a band director and often filled in as church choir director. His passion for music and education ran deep. We were identified in our community as a family deeply embedded in music. My mother was educated at college in English Education, but spent a lot of time in music endeavors, including directing the church children's choirs for many years. She has sung in the church adult choir for as long as I can remember, as did my father. My sister took lessons and played in band, as did my twin daughters.
