Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Keyboard
My teaching style is fairly relaxed, a student needs to enjoy the lessons or we are really wasting our time. There is no reason for music lessons to be dreary, almost all of my students enjoy their lessons and have no problem coming back week after week to be challenged again. For advanced students I really want to focus on the music you really want to play. If its your dream to play light classics for friends and family, then we will work on that. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I tailor my lessons to each individual student. Students learn at different rates, so, therefore, I want each student to progress at his or her own pace, without comparison to where my other students may be at. I want learning an instrument to be an enjoyable experience, and though the student may have to do and play practices, exercises, and pieces that they may not necessarily enjoy in the moment, it will all be beneficial to him or her in the long run and I will incorporate pieces and selections that interest them as well.

These experiences can fuel are passoin as we practice, perform, compose music. To me, music is an important language and if you're interested in developing your own connection to music I am hear to help. I teach students age 12 and up from just beginnning to advanced. Note: I don't live vicariously through my students. I want them to develp their own identity and path. I am one of the most patient and fun guys around! Read More

I like to teach and talk about the songs and styles that were taught to me by my father when I was just getting in to music and guitar. The first thing I remember learning were "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, which is actually simpler than most people would expect. The basic standards of guitar were taught to me when I was first learning, and that's what excites me to teach to the next generation of guitarists. Read More

Instruments: Voice
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Singing is one of those things that is completely different than any other instrument.
You are exposing your entire self and making yourself vulnerable to the listener and to the art itself.
I think, as with most things, the more you master it, the more little things you find that you want to improve. Living in the imperfection can be incredibly exposing and frustrating, but mastering is not about perfecting.
Sometimes putting down the paint brush is the most difficult part of mastering an instrument.
Some days you’re going to be in amazing voice and sometimes you’re having an off day. Both situations are useful.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am very open to all techniques. I grew up playing violin with the Suzuki method, which had shaped my ear wonderfully, but required me to learn to read music supplementally.
I also was exposed to Orff and Dalcroze methods from a very early age.
As far as vocal technique, I have had teachers who used the Caruso method and Alexander technique.
I am not married to any specific technique though I have experienced many different types.
I believe in a tailored to the student method is best.
My favorite teacher always asked me if what I was doing felt good. That was what was most important.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Vocalizing is absolutely essential to the beginning of every session.
Vocalizing is equally important in my own performing.
I love vocalizing because it allows me to test drive my voice for the day.
Our voices can fluctuate so much day to day, it’s important to feel in tune with your own instrument.
My sessions start with plenty of vocalizing and eventually leads to work on solo pieces.
I always allow plenty of space to communicate with my students and give them the opportunity to speak about what there experiencing while they’re singing.
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 2 degrees. My first degree is a Bachelor of Arts from Oregon state university in Vocal performance.
My second degree is a masters in music from Brooklyn college conservatory of music.
I chose to pursue these degrees because I knew I wanted to be trained to the highest degree and be able to use that knowledge to continue to grow as a vocalist and help others grow in their own instrument.
While a masters was not required for the jobs I perform now, it was extremely essential in securing my role as vocal captain in my casts.
