Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students I typically start with Faber's piano adventure series--I typically have students work through the lesson, performance, and theory books while providing them with additional repertoire on the side (pop, disney, classical pieces etc.) For voice students, I typically spend about a third of the lesson working on technique--proper breathing, posture, extending range, working on tone quality etc. Then the rest of the lesson is spent working on solo song repertoire.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
By giving piano lessons, all kinds of music knowledges should be taught. I prefer focus on both performance skills and the art/music knowledge in general. Homework is always needed because being able to play piano is the goal of the students.I will have my students practice etude, sonata/sonatina,polyphony pieces and modern pieces at the same time. Homework will be pieces selected from these 4 types. On top of that, I let my students know more about the background of the piece, study the composer, study the history and stories. Read More

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard
My Senior year, I moved to Plano, and became a part I also marched 4 years on Band 1 side of the trumpet rank at Texas Tech University. I can play super high notes, I have found a trick to playing using full tone, I can teach you, what I have learned and you can apply it to your playing. I earned the Best Pledge award in Mu Phi Epsilon, 2007. With all of this being said I would love to teach your student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
Depending on my student's age and skill level I usually have them begin with Suzuki books, Essential Elements books, or a combination of the two. As students advance I often incorporate etudes and/or exercises by Lee, Dotzauer, Galamian, Mooney, Sevcik, Duport, and Popper. While ear training is an essential skill that I teach to all of my students, the younger a student is the more I'll have them "play by ear" instead of reading sheet music. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginning students I use the Mel Bay Guitar Method. Mel Bay books have provided reliable teaching methods for many decades. They are clearly written and easy to follow. I find these books helpful in building a strong foundation for growing a young student's technical proficiency. They are written in standard notation which improves sight-reading and helps train the student's ear. I will supplement the Mel Bay Method with popular songs the student is interested in. The goal is to get the student performing the songs he/she wants to play while building fundementals adaptable to all styles of music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the instrument is musicality and instinct. They are difficult things to teach. You can play the right notes but why does Hendrix sound like he does playing the very same notes on the same instrument? Listening properly is not an easy thing for a student to understand. It's more than playing the right notes within the correct tempo. It's all the space in-between the notes. It's all the time in-between the beats. Touch, feel and grace are very difficult things to accomplish on an instrument. Mastering the instrument requires focus, dedication and time.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had students go on to major in music in college - including at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. I've had a student graduate with a Masters degree from Webster University. Many of my students have formed bands and performed live while also writing and recording their own songs. One of my students signed a major record contract with his band and toured the country. Others have accomplished smaller goals which brought them just as much joy. Becoming accomplished guitarists who can comfortably perform their favorite songs.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of writing my own songs and producing my own records. They represent my stories. My take on life. Having the opportunity to travel and perform these songs live is something I'm so grateful for. Seeing people at a concert reacting to something I've recorded or seeing people react online to something I've written is touching. Traveling the world to play music is something I'm very proud of. I'm also proud to live and work in Nashville. It's an honor to be a part of this music community - to be a part of recording sessions with the greatest musicians and producers on the planet.
