Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a musician with a true passion for teaching the art of music to individuals of all ages. Music has been a part of my life since I started [laying the guitar 45 years ago and I have been professionally instructing for 30 + years. I gained my music education in "Advanced musical studies" by attending years of lessons with several private and University instructors in Michigan. I own the Oakland guitar studios located in West Bloomfield and South Lyon since 1993. Read More

I like to give fun, free feeling lessons. While I go into each lesson with a goal in mind, I enjoy going on brief tangents for life lessons, performance tips, or applicable and funny stories. I am known to be very animated and energetic as a teacher and I have learned that students feed off of this energy, allow us to be more productive which results in outcomes that are significantly greater. I like to focus on fundamentals and excellent musical character before working into repertoire and I have had a great deal of success with my students, having used this approach. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
On every instrument that I teach I place great importance on fundamentals, especially developing a deep sense of rhythm. Whether a novice student is learning basic concepts for the first time or an advanced student is maintaining their musical foundation, a short routine of very simple warmups is essential and is also a beautiful way to connect to the instrument every time we sit down to it.For young beginners on piano and guitar I start with the Faber Piano Adventure series and the FJH Young Beginners series - for young drum students I use Alfred's beginners drum set book.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 4 years ago, and have been consistently teaching to students of all different ages. The beautiful thing about teaching is the uniqueness of the process regarding every student. Every student is a different and unique artistic being, therefore, the perception of music is also unique. I love to nourish that uniqueness, incentivizing the student's natural abilities. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Arutunian trumpet concerto is one of my favorite pieces that I always enjoy performing. In my personal opinion this piece is one of the best written pieces for the trumpet. What I mean by this is that there are some pieces that are written for trumpet that the composer may have been thinking about another instrument being able to play it, so the piece may include techniques that are not best suited for the trumpet. However, this piece is perfectly written for the trumpet even though it is not easy.
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 Bachelor's degree in performance and a teaching license in Music: Instrumental Prek-12. I chose the performance degree because I wanted to become a professional musician and I felt that this would present the most challenges and help me improve with my instrument. After this, I decided that I wanted to more know about the pedagogy of the instrument so I began to take music education classes and pursuit a teaching license in instrumental music. I have recently finished all the required classes for this license and I am preparing to take the Praxis exams.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
It is very important to warm up, even more so for the trumpet player. However, I like my students to know and understand the difference between warming up and practicing your technique. The first thing I do is warm up, this should take no longer than 10 minutes. After this, I rest as long as I warmed up. I then practice the first lessons of the Clarke or Arban's book (which contain scales). I will rest again and after this I will practice some of the flexibility and staccato studies of the Arban's book. It is important to mention that in order to make sure that I am resting enough, I will often record everything so that I am encouraged to listen to what I just played. Because resting can be boring, listening to what I just played keeps me entertained and at the same time I don't overwork. After this, I begin to work on the music that I am currently playing. When practicing on new music, I will often work backwards. In other words, I will start working on the end of the piece rather than the beginning. On the music, I will circle all the places that need the most work and I will spend most of the time working on those sections only.
