Instruments: Piano Trombone
My teaching style is flexible. One of my teachers asked me up front how hard I wanted him to be on me and thats something we would go over as well. Its important I learn the personality and learning style of the student. Its important to establish a trust and understanding so as not to take criticisms personally so that we can develop weaknesses and build on strengths. Every musician has different strengths and weaknesses my goal is to help them achieve their best musical self to grow their confidence and be as fully realized as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students who are children, I introduce theory, rhythm, as well as the instrument to give them a basic understanding of all of the aspects of music. Once the students has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, we will learn songs appropriate for their level. For adult students, I try to teach based on their interests, choose appropriate repertoire and help them meet and accomplish their own goals. The most important is that the students are enjoying themselves and learning - my main goal is to help the students succeed. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I am a strong believer of traditional teaching methods, however, I have learn that we all learn in different ways, so I let my students discover music by teaching them how to relate to the piano first, after they become familiar with the instrument by playing easy but wonderful melodies I start with the process of teaching music notation, scales, chords, analyzing songs, music history, exercises.I teach all ages, I am very patient and supportive, never pushy but firm with my students goals.

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
I teach the way that I do because I want my students to have the confidence that I often lacked growing up and because I want them to know all the things I wish Id known when I was their age. I work with students of all ages and levels to achieve their musical goals, from cleaning up and solidifying fundamentals to preparing for major performances, auditions, and a career in music.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
Acknowledging accomplishments is an ideal way to motivate a student to improve. While critiquing a student's weaknesses is something a teacher should do, celebrating the positive moments in playing can help engrave good habits. Whether you are trying to learn for fun or trying to get into the college of dreams for music, I am able to cater my teaching style to the needs of the student and this makes music fun for everyone!

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am an Artist who loves to see his students succeed. I have a strong passion for music, and utilize that passion and the skills I've developed throughout my career to cultivate students into fellow Artists. My primary goal as a teacher is to tap into the potential artistry of the students. For that reason, I am not as focused on the technical skills, as I am about spotlighting the inspiration that will facilitate the student to embody the Artist with original expression and purpose in their art form.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical is what I was taught and is the most pleasant to listen to casually from a pianist in my opinion. However I like all genres of music!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am a beginner at the guitar and recorder. My dad plays the guitar so that was initially the instrument I wanted to learn.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Maybe a track runner or a businesswoman. I was very interested in long distance track running and nearly majored in business in university. However I did not go through with either of those routes.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes it does! My cousin is a music prodigy who writes sheet music from auditory listening, he also writes his own music. I have 3 siblings who also play music. Two play piano and guitar, one plays the drums, and one also plays the violin and trumpet. There are usually jam sessions happening at my parent’s house!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision for myself. I had surpassed my teachers and knew I wanted to continue learning and performing. I continued to study and perform for auditions and moved onto events from there, eventually becoming the pianist for my local church.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I was taught with Faber, Suzuki, and Alfred. I like Suzuki for the music but am not much of an auditory learner myself - however I do recommend all students listen to the songs they are learning so they understand how it's supposed to sound when they play. I usually stick to one of the three methods above since that is what I'm familiar with, however if a student has a particular method they are learning I am willing to work with them to continue that path if it seems good for them.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts out with me doing some scales and fingering exercises to get my fingers warmed up. Then I practice the key for the piece I'm learning. After that I start with the section of music I'm dedicated to memorizing at that time. I usually try to play a whole section at a time, or whenever the music naturally takes a break, until I can get both hands down comfortably and start to memorize the piece. Then I move onto the next section until I've completed the song. This can take weeks or months depending on the length of the piece I am learning and the time I dedicate to learning it.
