Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My method varies depending on the student. If the student wants a traditional musical approach, and is interested in learning notation and theory, then we will usually start with the Hal Leonard Book Series. If the student doesn’t want to learn notes or the more advanced musical concepts, I usually just start by teaching them simple songs that they know from the radio, TV Shows or movies. Something to get them really excited about learning and practicing, and songs that they recognize and can show others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching my sophomore year of college teaching a beginner class aimed at teaching 5-8 year olds the foundations of music in a fun and interesting way. Soon after, I started teaching private piano and voice lessons to students age 8-18 as well as directing performance program shows. I have found that letting students pick their own material to work on helps keep them motivated and interested. Teaching music through song instead of teaching music and then song helps students connect the dots as well as making it more fun! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I applaud the strengths I see in my students and I make them catch up on their weaker parts. However, I dont pressure anyone too much - I dedicate some time to improving on a difficult task, but I do not spend an entire lesson drilling the same thing, for it gets exhausting and unpleasant. The most important thing is to repeat the same process consistently, even if little by little. Read More

Students who are young beginners, I like to start with Hal Leonard's My First Piano. It's written for ages 5 and 6 full of excitement and imagination. Once the student has completed the C level of this book, or if I feel as though they are ready for the next level sooner than expected, we will move on to solo repertoire. Even tho this text is written for young children, I still like to utilize some of the rhythm games for my older students as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I like to be flexible to the students needs and learning style. Ive used many method books often going off what the student is already working on for band or in school. If the student is more advanced I will assign method books such as the Arbans, Clarke, and Charlier books. I also like to incorporate music the student is interested in and wants to learn. I often work on the fundamentals of breath support to create the best sound possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I wanted to play the saxophone at the age of 4 because an older family friend who was 9 at the time started playing it in beginning band, and I thought he was one of the coolest kids ever. So when I turned 9, it was inevitable that I'd also play the sax in beginning band. That's really the only reason I chose to play the it. The rest of my career with the instrument is just a series of good teachers and good decisions that made it more or less the centerpiece of my life. It could be that I'm somehow better suited for a different instrument or a different life style but, really, who cares? I have no objections to the life choice that I made at the age of 4.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of the three awards that Bard College gave me while I studied there. I think they accurately reflect a lot of really hard work that I put in to improve. But I'm most proud of my final concert as a second semester senior at Bard, which is harder to describe succinctly in resume-format. But for this concert I wrote an hour's worth of original material based on a book I read by late 20th century psychologist, Julian Jaynes. I wanted the concert to be one cohesive piece of music that really took the listener on some kind of journey. I feel that I was really successful in doing so. It is the most difficult project I've undertaken to date.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the saxophone is probably the tone. Out of the gates, we know that everybody's tone is going to be different because one of the resonators of the saxophone is your own mouth and throat. So two people playing the exact same horn with all the same equipment will still sound different. To add to the conundrum, even after you've developed really good embouchure and breathing habits and feel like you're getting an authentic sound, there are still myriad mouthpieces, ligatures, reeds, even saxophone necks which you can mix and match, every combination giving you a different sound. So it's tough to know what to change if you want your tone to change. Do you need to refine your technique? Do you need different equipment? Possibly both.
