Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Ive been teaching music for over 7 years, both online and in-person, working with students from ages 4 to 45 though most of my current students are between 515 and adults 20+. My teaching experience includes everything from private voice, piano, and songwriting lessons to group classes and full band coaching, which Im planning to offer again in 2026. My own musical journey is rooted in both classical and contemporary styles. Ive worked with the Norwegian Opera House, giving me a strong foundation in classical technique and musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is all about enjoying music and the instrument. I can pick up when a student is frustrated, confused or embarrassed and adjust the lesson accordingly. Overall, I want my students to have fun! I enjoy teaching how to read music and once a few notes are learned, I start applying it to songs that my students really enjoy. I also like to teach scales and harmonic structure so my students can begin to understand what's really going on in the music they enjoy. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard
My teaching philosophy is pretty simple and I describe it with these three words clear, direct, and creative. I believe that when it comes to teaching a teacher must be creative, since not all students learn the same way. Also a teacher must be simple and direct in his teachings. A lot of the times teachers tend to give too much information that goes over the head of the students. Read More

I am a classical guitar teacher who is looking to educate and inspire potential new students. I am classically trained and I have learned from some of the best musicians in the area (Dr. Zane Forshee of Peabody University and Matthew Dunlap of Peabody University). While I do have a strong classical guitar backround, I also have a deep love for other styles such as rock, pop, blues, etc and would love to teach any of these styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For both voice and piano lessons, I always try to demonstrate the techniques I'd like students to learn to make sure they understand the correct way to practice. For both instruments, I use scales and chords for teaching, and I implement quite a bit of music theory in my piano lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have taught private lessons with the guitar, piano, didgeridoo, ukulele. I usually try to find out where the student is at and their goals and try to build off of that giving them tools to keep them going and to inspire and create insight. Each lesson I give them a focal point like learning a scale and get them to focus different musical aspects such working on fingering, rhythm, tone, loudness or softness, phrasing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe English Horn Acoustic Guitar
I use a wide variety of methods depending on the student's current ability level, musical preferences, and goals. I'm also willing to work with a method or book that a student is currently using. Generally, my students have a varying ratio of technique/scale study to work on the foundations, an etude/short piece study to help connect musical ideas and teach expression, and a solo piece that is prepared over a long period of time, most likely for a future recital.

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Deciding to become a professional musician was a gradual decision. The journey of meeting many musicians and being surronded by that culture throughout my life led me to that ultimately becoming my job.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided to pick up multiple instruments in middle school. I was fascinated in understanding the various components of an ensemble/ band and the individual role that each instrument played in that overall harmonic experience.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genres of music are R&B and funk. I think studying early Motown and the contributions of the session players during that era, contribute to a further understanding of how to play modern R&B music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe to practice music effectively it is important to focus on the individual task at hand when going to practice. I also believe that consistency and determination is the key to success in any field.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts with me warming up on my instrument through basic exercises and scales. If I have any music that I need to focus on for a show, I will then transition into learning that. I will then practice any techniques I need to refresh on whether it be slapping or double thumbing.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Growing up I used Suzuki and Hal Leonard books to practice piano. I also practiced a lot of Hanon from a few books to get great warm up exercises. For teaching bass students I use Bass Aerobics by Jon Liebman and various other sheet music I have collected from over the years.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose electric bass as my primary instrument because of it's vital role as both a rhythmic section instrument and a melodic one. The bass is the connection between all the other instruments to the drummer when locking into a groove.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The musical accomplishment I am most proud of has been getting to play on Country Music Television's award show "Smashing Glass" honoring Patti LaBelle and Tanya Tucker.
When will I start to see results?
Results come from finding one's internal connection to their instrument. It is a reward for developing the habit of achieving an indiviudal tasks, whether it be conquering a difficult part of a song or developing a new technique.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe that there is no "right age" to start taking lessons. Music is a language and anyone can start learning to express themselves through music at anytime.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had various music teachers throughout my life who have impacted my overall playing. Some of these include Reggie Hamilton, Freddie Washington, Abraham Laboriel, Alphonso Johnson, Rhonda Smith, Patrice Rushen, and Paul Jackson Jr. Each one has taught me various aspects of how I can grow and develop within my playing.
