You become great by how much effort you put into the application of my guidance through your own practice." I cannot make you the performer you want to be. I can only guide you through the process. This is why I am always excited to bring on a new student. Each student I have worked with holds a special place with me. I strive for those key moments when my student comes to a new musical understanding. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice French Horn Music
In the same genre, I have taught and coached pianists and pit players to adopt the nuances of musical theatre music. In the classical world, I have coached chamber music, solo and group improvisation, jazz combos, choral ensembles, solo vocalists, and piano soloists. When I was an undergraduate, I took courses in choral, woodwind, string, percussion, and brass pedagogy. I find teaching music to be an act of listening deeply and responding from my gut, my experience, and my heart. Read More

For beginning to students I like to have them learn their notes on the bass guitar first and foremost. Once we have become familiar with the neck of the bass we introduce Hal Leonards's Bass Method Book 1. This will build our foundation for learning to read time signatures, notes in bass clef, rhythms, as well as playing complete songs. For intermediate bass students I like to gauge the level and tailor a program for that individual. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in depending on the ability level. I would also start with books for adult beginners if needed. My goal as a teacher is to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Fairly traditional but fun. I will always make notes for you in the following order: Warm-up: Lesson Book: Theory: Extra: Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
For young learners, I teach using Nancy and Randal Faber's Piano Adventures. For adults, I use the all-in-one Faber adult book. However, as early as possible, I like to get outside of the book and get a student learning a song they love. When it comes to learning piano (especially in the beginning), fun is a critical ingredient for success. In my lessons, I work with students through a lesson book, on repertoire they are interested outside the lesson book, on technique, music theory, and anything a student is interested in or curious about.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1) Start with known material to warm up and start thinking musically. Learned etudes are good for this.
2) Next do technical studies such as scales, arpeggios, use of ornaments
3) Play through new material that is going to be worked on
4) Work on the current focus project. Making sure that there are accurate pitches, correct timing, correct fingering, rhythmic accuracy and any difficult passages are given the eleven minute rule.
5) Do the work for a piece that you are going to memorize.
6) Conclude by reviewing material that has already been learned and/or memorized.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I was not able to complete my bachelors degree which was a performance degree in church music. I grew up singing in choirs and when I decided to be a full-time professional musician I started playing for church services.
From the time I started playing piano at age six playing for church was something I aspired towards. Sacred and spiritual music has always been part of my musical life and so do that professionally seemed appropriate.
Even though I did not complete my degree I have played in churches since 1987 and have used, besides piano, organ, guitar, mandolin bass and hand drums.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There are many pieces in a many genres that I would like to perform. If I needed to choose one piece I think that I would choose W. A. Mozart’s piano concerto No. 22 in Eb (K. 482). This particular concerto is iconic and to be able to perform it with an orchestra would be a beautiful thing.
My second choice would be to play Mauro Giuliani’s Sonata in C Major, Opus 15. I have been working on this piece for a couple of years and hope to soon start memorizing it so that I can perform it on a concert stage.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Before I became a full time musician I worked in orchards, nurseries and greenhouses and got an associates degree in horticulture. I have also worked as a woodwind repair technician. At various times I have worked in carpentry, as a mechanic, a bus driver, a snow plow operator and I have worked in retail stores for books and music.
None of the jobs listed above have had the importance that being a musician does. So, even though I could do many different things I cannot imagine being anything but a musician as long as I have a choice.
