Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I adapt my methods to each student accordingly. Every person is unique and has a different taste in music. However I am strict in making sure that all my students understand the fundamentals of music. Ear Training, music theory, ability to read notation and tabs, understanding chords and voicing, how to count rhythms. I have a set list of songs I teach most of my students, as they help to develop technique and are usually well received by most students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning adults and teenagers, I like to use Faber Adult Piano Adventures to teach the fundamentals. I complement these studies with other pieces according to each student's taste and technical needs. For very young children, I like to use Music for Little Mozarts and for older children, I use Faber Piano Adventures. I also compose for each student based on skills I believe they could benefit from practicing. I teach every student music theory, using Alfred Essentials Music Theory workbooks. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
As a professional, state-licensed music teacher for over fourteen years, I began teaching in Carlsbad, New Mexico in 2001 before moving to Colorado in 2007 and serving in Douglas County School District, Denver Public Schools, and Jefferson County Public Schools. Encouraging students to practice on a regular basis is the cornerstone of musical growth and development, and I help especially younger students find the balance between popular music and classical music as a means of motivating practice and developing their skills.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I started singing professionally at age 15. Through the years I have taught both private voice and piano lessons. I have also taught at Elbert County Charter School grades kindergarten through the 8th grade in general music education. I have served as the minister of music at St Paul's Methodist Church in Burlington NC, Aurora First Presbyterian Church in Aurora Colorado and at Providence Presbyterian in Parker Colorado. I am currently serving as the praise team music assistant for Our Savior's Church in Lakewood Colorado Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Recorder
My approach is based largely on the intentions of the student. Beginner students will need a foundation to build on, that foundation will include singing, reading music, clapping rhythms, learning melodies, and free exploration for a fearless musical future. Older experienced students will be exposed to a More in depth view of the fundamental components of music, a particular group twelve crucial aspects that must work effortlessly in concert to create an impressionable musical experience.

Instruments: Piano Voice Viola
I am an experienced and patient teacher, passionate about the versatile beauty of music and all of the ways it benefits music learners. I have been a music maker for just over 20 years, with piano as my first instrument. I began playing the viola in middle school and quickly progressed into advanced orchestras both at school and throughout the city. Though I initially intended to major in music education, once at the University of Minnesota I found myself incredibly drawn to opera. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I do a pretty good job of placing students into regional, honors, and all-state bands. Usually there's someone in my studio who's all-state level. A few of my students have gone on to be professional musicians. One tours the world with his one-man Sax BeatBox" act; another plays in thee President's Own USMC band; etc. But I don't really measure success by how many of my students turn pro. If you've learned something, if you've grown as a person, if you retain a love for making music well after your last lesson is over, that's a success in my book.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Fundamentals, i.e. good tone, good time, solid technique, intonation, solid reading skills. You never really get beyond the basics; you just get better and better at them throughout your life. "Mastery" is a moving target where music is concerned; you'll pursue it your whole life.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I like the Alfred Books - they have a very robust and well-rounded curriculum. But others like Schirmer and Bastien are good, too. For wind instruments, I can teach effectively using whatever method book you're currently using in band. Standard of Excellence and Essential Elements seem to be the two favorites right now, and they're both great. We won't always be using books, though. I have lots of my own supplemental materials, and I'm also a big fan of learning by ear and improvising.
When will I start to see results?
You should start seeing results right away. This all depends on the amount of time you want to put in. I only see you for 30-60 minutes once a week; the real progress happens during the other six days.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had many great teachers along the way, starting in 1st grade and continuing on through college. Most of them were pretty great about encouraging me to get better and supporting me, while at the same time not "sugar-coating" how difficult it is to make a living in music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My mom was watching a cheesy music video one evening, right before we had out little 4th grade instrument "petting zoo." She made the offhand comment about how the saxophone was such a magical instrument to her. That was it - saxophone for me. Since that time I've branched out into several other instruments, but I still remember that moment.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make a habit of it, every day. Even if you only play for a few minutes - you might be surprised what you can accomplish in 5-10 minutes every day. You'll definitely accomplish more than "cramming" for 1-2 hours right before your lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You're ready today! If you have the desire to learn something new, you're absolutely ready right now. That's literally all that's required. That and the actual instrument, of course, lol.
