Instruments: Piano Voice
I quiz them by asking them to identify the note that I am playing. It takes only a minute. When each one is secure, I add more on, and I do this over the course of several weeks. The G and A, in between the three black keys. Then the D, in between the two black keys. Finally, the E and B, to the right of the group of two and three black keys respectively. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard
I am a passionate and disciplined instructor that believes that students should enjoy music at all times. In 2010, I graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a Bachelor in Instrumental Music. One of the experiences that I always enjoy in music is performing. I am a Los Angeles based musician that has worked with different groups, styles and artist. Another skill that I have acquire during the course of my career is the ability to arrange and write music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I'm a teacher and student at heart. I believe that at any level of learning support and encouragement are always better than just do it because I say so. This is the reason I left a scholarship from Berklee in the 90's to pursue my true passion; touring the world as a professional musician. I have seen a slice of life in my musical travels with the hundreds of artists I have worked with and I bring over 2 decades of experiences to every lesson, with every student, every time and I look forward to meeting new students who want to take the journey with me..

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
The best part of teaching for me is seeing students transform from unsure beginners to confident musicians with enthusiasm and passion for their own chosen taste in music. I know students can drive the lessons with their choices, so I let them select music that will keep them coming back for more challenges. Even still, I want them to have the exposure to diverse training and music styles to expand their own style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My teaching experience dates back to my College days when I tutored students while a student at Berklee. I have been performing private lessons for the past twenty years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the most important key points, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I teach both Classical and modern jazz styles and techniques and the combing of the two can go a long way to help the students enjoy playing more. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in both piano performance as well as composition.
While I originally went in as a piano performance major as I got more and more involved with composing there was no way I could not include that as an important part of my education.
While a student I did take some pedagogy courses including theory of childhood development related to elementary school education.
However I ultimately opted out of exploring an education certificate.
What made a double major as pleasant was it was was that I was able to compose and perform my senior recital.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I especially enjoy learning the Preludes and Fugues from the Well Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. There is something both calming and exciting about them. They demand an incredible amount of focus and dedication. They can also almost serve as a textbook for the learning of counterpoint, invention and fugal writing. Every emotion seems to be present in the entire set as well as some very uniquely hidden tonalities and modalities.
They also serve as a wonderful way to meditate and find some peace both in playing and to study as a text book.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Fortunately I am able to do what I enjoy as I perform, compose and teach.
I am an avid woodworker and fine furniture builder. It is a hobby and I also receive commissions for furniture pieces. I suppose if I were not teaching or doing any other musical thing I might be designing and building fine furniture full time.. or at least more than I do now.
I also have a minor in biology and though, for a very short time, that upon getting my under graduate degree I might explore a career in the medical field.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy playing many different genres of music. I might enjoy Baroque if I feel a certain way or wish to just get lost in the beauty of a great piece of counterpoint. So you might say I enjoy "classical" music.
However, there are times I might like to take a great book of old jazz standards out to play for my own pleasure. Or even a Beatle or Billy Joel songbook out.
Of course there are those times I might just enjoy being fun.. and playing some country/western song with a classical twist to it.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have taught many band instruments while teaching in a middle school band class. However these were all on a very rudimentary intermediate level.
Developing good musicianship skills and a strong understanding of how music, scales, transposing etc. works makes it much easier to learn other instruments.
I do, however, play the bagpipes and the Scottish Smallpipes. This comes out of a love I have for the sound of the instrument, it's modality being quite different than most scales we are familiar with.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I do have a very musical family.
Both of my parents were musical even if they did not make their living at it.
All of my siblings are musical and all have performed publicly in one manner or another.
At family gatherings we all get together to go over music we enjoy and will, sort of, create this big family band. The music we play is all over the place including some old jazz standards, rock and roll classics and some more contemporary popular music of the day .. or perhaps some music from a musical we all enjoy.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I lave always been a musician.
In one form or another I was always making a living at it.
While still in high school my "band" would perform at events and gatherings.
During and after collage I would often have a small handful of students as well as receive commissions for pieces, usually for smaller compositions such as works for solo or small ensembles. From time to time I would be hired to create arrangements and actually did develop a reputation for my string arrangements that were used on several albums.
For the past 30 years I have been teaching and accepting commissions nearly full time.
