Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I started taking private Piano Lessons at 8 years old and I have over 12 years of professional experience teaching both Piano and Voice. I am skilled in both reading sheet music and playing by ear. I am also fluent in multiple genres of music ranging from Classical to Gospel, Pop to RB and so on. That gift has taken me through many doors and has given me access to a number of great enviorments across the country. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Synthesizer
PIANO, FLUTE, SAXOPHONE and VOICE I have been active in the music industry for over 40 years as a teacher and performer, along with holding positions as musical director, arranger, accompanist, and in show production. Growing up near New York City gave me a wealth of opportunities for musical studies and experiences. I first studied with concert pianist Frank Giampolo for many years in Bridgeport, CT. He recognized my love of jazz and incorporated it, along with a classical repertoire, theory, harmony and arranging into my private studies. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
Ever since I was a child I had wanted to be a teacher. When I got to Central Piedmont Community College I focused on music education because I knew I wanted to teach music theory in college. After transferring to Wingate University I began studying choral music education because I was fascinated byhow the voice works and blends with other voices in a choir situation. I have had the opportunity to study rock bass, jazz bass, classical guitar, piano, and even private voice lessons from private lessons all the way up through college level lessons and these lessons have given me such a drive and passion for not only music, but music education.

Instruments: Piano Organ
I would like to start my beginners in the aaron piano course book. I will also introduce music theory along with helping students to develop a ear for music, so that they can mix the two together to create their own style of playing. The more advance students will be introduced to John thompsons Mordern Course for the piano and the adult all-in-one course book. I would encourage my students to practice everyday. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I began teaching when I was in college, teaching piano lessons to students in the community. Since then, I've taught in every church I've been a part of, and at several studios in the larger community. First and foremost, I believe that learning music should be fun! While I strive to encourage excellence, students should enjoy what they are learning. My students are encouraged to practice regularly and participate in public performace, be it studio recitals or in other venues. I was taught that sharing music is just as important as making it!

Instruments: Piano
I thoroughly enjoy customizing each student's lesson according to their learning ability and make sure they excel and have fun. I utilize most of the time the Alfred Piano method both for school age and adults. When I feel the student is ready I supplement quite a lot with the Hanon exercises,Czerny and the Master Theory workbook(this works very well with the student who also desires to learn to play by ear as well.) For repertoire I emphasize classical pieces and also help the student with pop and holiday pieces;i.e- Schumann's Album for the Young, Beginning Bach minuets,Bach and Clementi sonatinas,etc. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A quiet room free of distractions. Ample lighting room heating and cooling control .
Repeat phasing technique is important, and needs to be adhered to diligently and with lack of diverse feeling
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
About in the years when I was 20 years old i remember really been into the pro side of things

That story is a long one and too long for here
However, there is a distinct and additional accomplishments throughout my family over the years, and I am very proud of that
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I really can’t answer that successfully because that’s not where my thoughts are. Maybe in the future I this question. Maybe running a music store would be a nice idea.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Country ballads were always for me a great way to enjoy the music world
People do like taking a country music and that is always been one of my favorites so as to date, I will leave it at that.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I was always out in the entertaianment field. So as there was a need for that sound, I simply dove into it
Again, I needed the additional sound that a second and a third instrument adds to the music I am creating

Chopin concerto or any of the classical greats would be the dream piece I would care to accomplsh
Many classical pieces I do like to perform so there is a wide variety I can I can use as a piece to perform.

Alfred is a great teaching method book
Also, how Leonard has wonderful composition books that many students find rewarding, and these are a few of the method books utilize
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
To have an audience appreciate what they are hearing
To be able to entertain an audience successfully is always what the advance musician strive for
Having the audience appreciate what you’re trying to accomplish is the name of the game.

Guitar was the main thing at the time everyone wanted to be and have the ability to show their stuff
Utilizing various guitar songs, I became interested in performing these same songs in my own style.

In these years, I can play many instruments I can entertain on various instruments. I can play change keys,
Create and write songs, using various keys, and having the ability to understand music has always been a great accomplishment

None that a can lend onto at this time
Maybe in the future we’ll see as time goes by

Music is a wonderful art, and to be a member and student is a great accomplishment

A teacher who inspired me to go into music ? That was a long time ago
Many teachers along the way I have recognized this as former helpers and assistance.
When will I start to see results?
Almost immediate !
Day by day the more a student practices the better he gets
Also when he gets recognition from his parents or fellow family members.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Maintain a proper attitude towards succeeding in your goals.
Dont give up midstream. Keep at it because you like the feeling of achievement.
Remember the feeling of success when you first perform for a listener
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When a child is ready to start lessons he will tell you.
To force lessons on a child will not accomplish your goal.
Give this selection a good amount of time.
And be patient looking for the proper choices
