I use a number of resources to teach students concepts in musical performance. This includes online resources and method books that enhance fundamentals and technique. I do believe that understanding of music theory is necessary to advance beyond the intermediate level, and this system has assisted in training many students over the years. Novice students are encouraged through movement and activities to teach concepts while intermediate players are given exercises that focus on instrumental technique to strengthen musicality.

Before teaching I was always sharing ideas and my approach with my peers and anyone who wanted to listen. My jump into teaching music as a job started after high school teaching drum lessons at Music & Arts and All About Music & Arts in the Houston area. After teaching at Marching Percussion camps for Memorial High School and Waltrip High School among others I decided to go back to college at Blinn in Brenham. Read More

I believe in the philosophy of and empty cup. My lessons are not built for me to tell the student what to do, but rather learn how they learn and research the best practices for reaching that student. There is no "cookie cutter" method that works for all students, because everyone learns and comprehends a little bit differently. I remain sensitive to that and patient with my students. It always gets me when a student that is stuck on a part of their music finally understands and performs the passage perfectly. Read More
Instruments: Piano
With each and every one of my students, I try to help them appreciate the music they are playing. I always try to emphasize practicing everyday, paying attention to the rhythm, and sight reading the music. I also make sure to tailor to the student's needs. A comfortable setting is established for them so that they may not feel stressed out and that I am there to always help them out. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Often, trumpet should start around age 10 (depending on development of each individual), but every student is different! I often offer a free trial to see if the student can even make a sound. If so, we can move on from there.
When will I start to see results?
The student will get out of it what they put in. Beginning students will see results immediately, but it will still be a slow process. Building good habits take time. Older students need time to grasp concepts, relearn different thought processes, and understand how my teaching philosophy works. Lessons are learned via imitation. They play with, understand how I sound, and then try to apply that to themselves. This process can vary very wildly depending on the students' imagination.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My professors at Appalachian State University, Dr James Stokes and Dr Rusty Smith, both had (and still do!) a huge impact on my music career. They're brilliance, focus, and determination were inspiring. However, they're willingness to connect with me, take the time to understand me, invest their time into me, and treating me with care really gave me the confidence to continue.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was at a concert as a young child where a trumpet player was on stage. I told my mom "I want to play that!" taking some inspiration from my brother who played tuba at the time. The story was told around family, and my grandfather bought me one for Christmas without any of my family knowing about it! Though they were upset at the time, they're quite happy with the results now.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recently, my performances on Royal Caribbean International Cruise Lines. Not only was this a big step on my personal career, but it was the acknowledgement that I am good enough to perform on a stage. Often, gigs are gained from recommendations from others, but this one was completely on my own. Earning #1 Music in Tampa Ports while I was onboard and constantly get call-backs from the music directors asking me to come back gave me a sense of being desired which was a great change.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many of my students were from North Carolina and were not available to transfer with me via online teachings. However, the one I still do teach is now performing with local community bands as well as getting spots in the local high school marching bands as a home-schooled 7th grader!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Take your time! You shouldn't be rushing through a practice session, as thay tends to lead to stress. Take breaks, take time, and understand what you're trying to get out of each session.
