Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Keyboard
It is very important to set a high standard of playing and technique, so that learning is constantly happening. That said, that standard should be approached with compassion and humor, casting the lifelong pursuit of virtuosity an exciting challenge even when it's frustrating. Especially with youth, cultivating a positive attitude and discipline is a key to success. This can be done through musical study. It is important to me to keep the student engaged, and be clear about their motivations for studying: their parents and their own unique drive. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love seeing my students develop a passion for music! That is why I make sure each student progresses at their own pace by setting realistic goals for each lesson. I always acknowledge a student when they practice very hard and ask great questions. By understanding what the student wants out of the lesson, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. I recently have been teaching elementary general music as well as directing a middle school choir and orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I structure my lessons in the same way I structure my own personal practice. I usually start off with a few technical exercises, then cover some theory, and then work on repertoire. How much time goes in to each category will depend on the student. A beginner tends to need more time on technique, whereas someone who has an audition or recital coming up will spend most of their time on repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Ukulele
I approach teaching on an individual basis, meaning it's important to me to know the goals, hopes, passions, and if applicable, the worries or insecurities the student is feeling. In a first lesson I identify something that is special and unique about each student, and build their technique from this place. I find this helps the difficult areas feel a little less challenging because they already have something they feel proud of when working through the discomfort of something new or intimidating.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is any piece that I helped create, either through commissioning a composer, or through collaboration. I love to make music with my friends, colleagues, students, and fellow musicians. One of the greatest things about music is that is transcends language, boundaries, borders, and walls. When you create music as a group, there is a collective feeling of joy and as a result, music is born into the world: as a soloist performing music someone wrote for me, a brass quintet collaborating with amazing players, or with a huge orchestra, bringing a mass of sound to life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musican, I would be an animator. I love cartoons. When I was growing up, my father worked as an art dealer for Disney, Warner Brothers, and Universal. I was surrounded by art and grew up drawing. I initially wanted to pursue a career as an animator before I discovered music. I have a very artistic mind, so I have always been drawn to the act of creation and art. One of my hopes for the future is to animate as a hobby and get good enough to bring animation to the music I create and record.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is funk/R&B. Much of my training in jazz and theory comes into play in this style. Creative chords progressions meet overwhelmingly groovy rhythms. Many professional musicians who play funk and R&B are incredible technicians on their instruments and can play any style they want. They choose funk or R&B for the creative freedom that the music brings through collective improvisation. Each voice is important in this style, but each part meshes together to make something fun.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As stated previously, my first instrument was French horn. I began playing in private lessons in the 3rd grade, a year before band was offered in elementary school. As a result, when I joined the 4th grade band, I was well ahead of the class and found myself bored and yearning for a challenge. I picked up the trumpet, thinking that learning a new instrument would bring my this challenge. Little did I know, it would spark an appetite to create every unique sound that instruments have to offer. I added trombone, electric bass, guitar, tuba, piano, saxophone, flute, clarinet, euphonium, ukulele, and others soon after.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
This is an interesting question. In my family, music skipped a generation. My maternal grandmother was a piano player and loved to play tango and popular music from her time. My mother and father both never played an instrument, even still. My three siblings and I all play at least one instrument, my sisters mainly being singers, and my brother being a saxophone and piano player who learned guitar later on. Though none of them pursued music like I did, they were all involved in ensembles in college and still hold that lifelong love of music that comes from playing and practicing.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician sometime in middle school. I just found that music was something I was very good at, to the point where I felt my mind was meant for it. I was never great with math or language, never very good at sports. I just could not see myself as a businessman, doctor, or lawyer, at that age. When I found a talent and love of music, I decided that's what I wanted to spend my life doing. Teaching music became a passion once I was in high school working for a private lesson studio.
