Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Organ Conga Music Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred Piano Basics. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to work from Czerny and introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
My teaching methods depend on the age and ability of the student. From younger students and beginners to older or more advanced students. For violin, I use my own tailored curriculum. I teaches basic scales, essential techniques to all levels, and various pieces of music depending on the studentxe2x80x99s needs. I use Suzuki, Kayser, Hohmann, the Third Position, etc. and various concertos for advanced students. For piano, I use Alfred Piano course for beginners, and then use Hanon, Sonatine, and other piano pieces. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
I typically begin my lessons with a 30 to 45-minute session to introduce music theory and the chosen instrument. For beginner students, I use a combination of the James Bastien and Alfred's Basic methods to teach foundational music theory. Based on the student’s instrument of choice, I supplement these lessons with additional materials tailored to practice and performance. For adult students, I prioritize their interests, adapting my lessons to make the learning experience engaging, enjoyable, and relevant to their musical goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Accordion Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
As far as books go, I prefer the Hal Leonard method, especially for beginner musicians. I combine visual, audio and kinesthetic learning methods to tailor to anyone's needs. After the basics are taught or they're already learned, I assess the student's level and teach the student what they wish to learn to the best of my ability. 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
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing music doesn't have to involve long frustrating sessions of sitting at the piano. Often, students struggle with practicing effectively because they struggle with knowing what they should be practicing. Practicing in shorter segments of 10-20 minutes at a time with one main goal in mind can drastically improve one's practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Piano lessons involve a significant amount of sitting and listening in order to be productive. If your child is able to concentrate on a task for at least 5-10 minutes, they can certainly start lessons. Lessons typically involve different activities in order to keep students engaged. Being able to be attentive for 5-10 minutes at a time will ensure that they will be able to be productive when practicing by themselves as well.
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on a number of factors, including time spent practicing between lessons, interest in material, and overall passion for music. Busy schedules may conflict with practice time, and young children typically progress slower than older children and adults. In general, results are seen after the first few weeks of lessons. Short term goals allow students to see the small steps in their progress, and long term goals of one month or longer allow students to see their hard work pay off in larger ways.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of performing my senior piano recital in October of 2019. I was able to overcome my own performance anxiety, and performed a beautiful program of classical and jazz inspired music for a large crowd of family, friends, and community members.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I typically use the Faber method books. These books provide a fun and productive way to learn basic, intermediate, and advanced skills at the piano, and they have method books for very young students, as well as for the older beginning and adult student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me, a normal practice session involves 15-20 minutes of scales and other technical exercises, followed by one or two hours of working on whatever material I need to work on. I often divide my practice sessions into sections of 15-20 minutes, and focus on one particular musical section or goal for that length of time.
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 Music Degree in Piano Performance. I chose this degree in order to continue growing as a musician by learning music of higher difficulties in many different areas of music history. The piano performance degree allowed me to grow as a performer, while also teaching me ways to improve and build on my own teaching skills.
