Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
After thirty years I still love to play and talk about music! I've added more instruments to my skillset over the years just so I can write and create more music out of my home studio. I just released my first album, Influenced, in 2017 and for the first time will be performing music from the album at Denton Arts & Jazz! My first professional music job out of high school was in the Army band where I spent four years playing my trumpet and seeing the world. Read More

Hey Guys, I'm a very enthusiastic person with a passion for teaching and love for knowledge. I graduate from NMSU with my BM in music performance in 2010. I've had great sucess and am well traveled when it comes to music. From symphonies to quartets, jazz ensembles to rock bands, I've done it all. I'm a recent Texas transplant and I really excited to begin working! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano and music theory since 1984. I worked with children between the age 6 and 18 years. My students are also encouraged to have recitals at the end of the year. I organize activities such as concert, performance, and exams. I use my pedagogical skills to achieve the best education for students in my classes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music
I am a positive and encouraging instructor, and emphasize proper technique, music theory, and fundamentals through a variety of musical styles ranging from classical to popular music. My students are all ages (I once had a student start at the age of 70!) and come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I work with students to help them balance a practice schedule with the rest of their lives. I consider myself to be a coach and facilitator and work with my students to set realistic, achievable, but challenging goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums French Horn
For kids, I'll start with easy but basic notes and chords. I try to make it fun like learning songs they might know. For young adults to adults, I'll do the same but on their level and the expectation is much higher than kids. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I started to give private piano, music theory, harmony, music history lessons since I was in college. I've been teaching in both my home studio and my students' places. I've spent a lot time on taking piano lessons myself and practicing piano. I know how to make piano lessons more enjoyable and fun. I have strong song writing and composing skills so I write songs for my students to play here and there. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I like to make sure that my students are actually learning the exercises rather than just going through the motions. If I find them making mistakes I stop them and ask them to explain to me what they are supposed to be doing. This helps me pinpoint whether they need further teaching or just more practice. I am very careful to try to catch and correct bad habits early before they become ingrained. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
This life chose me more than I chose it... I reached a point when I realized that playing music not only gives me a joy that nothing else can, but that sharing the gift of music is also a never-ceasing wellspring of light and happiness. Music truly is the great human connector.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Trumpet is actually my second instrument to piano, which I've been playing for as long as I could walk to the piano.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
On trumpet, I love playing new music written by contemporary composers, as well as improvising on orchestral excerpts and folk tunes from around the world. And, truth be told, I love a good classical-era piece. Who doesn't love playing the Haydn Trumpet Concerto?
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 a PhD in Musicology, which I chose to both play music and explore my interest in theory, history, and culture at the same time.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For trumpet, it's all about mastering that soft, rounded tone and not sounding "blatty".
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a teenage -- and before I took a nine-year non-performing soul-searching sojourn -- a career as a gigging trumpet player developed very naturally for me. After being recruited to play the national anthem at high school sports events, I was soon recruited to play for local and then national conventions, and then to play Taps for VFWs and other events related to the armed service, an eventually weddings. Since I made the decision to return to performing music, similar synchronicities have occurred here in New York City, this time with piano as well: I was recruited to play with a charity organization (Sing for Hope), and am the resident pianist at a hip alternative music space in Brooklyn. Although it's been a while since I won any formal awards with music (although I won many in my teenage year), I'm proud and humbled that the world enjoys what I have to say on both instruments, and look forward to seeing where things take me from here.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they express interest; it's never too early to start.
When will I start to see results?
When expectations about progress are lost to the joy of the process of learning. That being said, I am an extremely effective teacher and students in all of my subjects excel quickly.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have been blessed with many wonderful music teachers, particularly my middle school music teacher Ms. Scott. Ms. Scott was passionate about the power of music, knowledgeable about repertoire, exposed us to incredible opportunities, and believed in her students with fervency. I aim to extend the same passion to my students as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For the parts you don't understand yet, slow down as much as you need and explore. Soon it will make sense, and then you can incorporate the skill/passage into your playing effortlessly. Also: have fun! It's OK to not be "perfect" on the first go. In fact, the parts of pieces that don't come as naturally in the beginning are the ones you'll grow to enjoy playing the most with loving attention in a practice session.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Warm up with some long tones, jump into the piece I'm currently practicing, work out the kinks, run it through, then improvise on a tune I've transcribed myself by ear.
