I also played very regularly at Indianapolis's most famous jazz clubs, The Jazz Kitchen and The Chatterbox. After graduating, I moved to New York in July, and am now pursuing a variety of opportunities as a performer and teacher. Here in NYC, I have performed at The Jazz Gallery, Rockwood Music Hall, and some smaller venues around the city. I have a home studio (featuring a gorgeous, state-of-the-art 6' Steinway baby grand piano) in my apartment, but can also travel to students' homes with no complaints. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard

My goal is to create an artist. I know many people who have incredible technique, but the music sounds lifeless. I create a fun, warm environment where my students don't dread lesson time and practice because I have given them daily manageable tasks. There would be nothing more satisfying to me than one of my students surpassing me. During a lesson, I focus on their technique, what is good and what needs a little more refining. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music

Balanced Repertoire: My method integrates both classical and modern music. Classical pieces lay a solid technical foundation, while contemporary songs keep lessons engaging and relatable. This variety ensures students develop a well-rounded skill set and remain motivated. Customized Lessons: Each student is unique, and my teaching adapts to their individual needs and goals. Whether a beginner or an advanced player, I tailor lessons to challenge and inspire, ensuring continuous growth and enjoyment. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

For young and/or beginner vocalists, I focus on classical fundamentals, as they are the roots for success in all genres. This means working on breath support and learning about vowel placement. The next step would then be developing and strengthening the singers vocal range and repertoire. For adults and/or more experienced vocalists, I focus on what the student is trying to accomplish and help them move towards their goals. Read More

For my younger students who may not have musical goals I keep the instruction very easy going and well rounded. For my advanced and more focused students I let them set their own goals and then help them in every way I can. I want my students to learn how to play like themselves and not like me so if a certain aspect of the lessons does not work for them I make adjustments and we keep moving forward. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Piccolo Oboe Bassoon Keyboard

I basically teach as I've been taught by the masters. There are musical essentials that must be mastered for every musician, with no exceptions. By completing one level of proficiency one moves on to the next level, and so on. Eventually students are able to grow to become masters themselves. This has always been the case throughout history, and in all fields for that matter. Never allow yourself to get bogged down by futility; there is always another way. Read More
