Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Music Keyboard
It is important to have a broadened perspective of what it means to be a well rounded musician while having concentrated study in a specific genre or idiom. In my lessons, I strive to cover the major elements required to be a successful trombonist or musician in not only the jazz idiom, but the general music industry as a whole. These subjects include: sight reading, music theory, aural training, music listening, improvisation, composition, arranging, basic music notation, basic music recording techniques, historical and cultural contextualization, music entrepreneurship, and performance edict.

George teaches from the Hal Leonard Piano Series and focuses on sight reading, technique, theory, and performance. For advanced students, he encourages performance, ensemble playing, and group competitions.I have also used other piano methods that includes the Royal Conservatory Piano Series, the Suzuki Method for piano, and Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber. For technique, I use the Keith Snell Series for scales and finger exercises, the Hanon Series, and Carl Czerny. Read More

I have been a teacher my whole life. In high school, I tutored Shotokan Karate classes, taught swimming lessons, tutored younger students, and taught drum lessons. In college, I was a peer tutor for writing, and continued to teach drum lessons. Since graduating, I have regularly taught drum lessons, and now instruct Kundalini Yoga/Meditation as well. I have an intuitive sense of what any individual student needs and can always break things down in the most digestible way possible, and can teach anybody how to do anything. 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 engaging students in conversations about realistic and individual growth goals. 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

Music provides students with both expression and community, both of which I believe students- and all people- need.As a teacher, I believe that my strongest commitment and my best effort are the birthright of each and every one of my students. Just as I believe that students who struggle should be given the additional help that they need in order to continue and eventually learn, I believe that students who excel should be offered the avenues that they crave in order to satiate their desires for greater challenges.

Understanding that every student has unique experiences, interests, strengths and weaknesses, I always work to ensure that lessons are to the benefit of the student. Instead of thinking of my role as a director who prescribes a set path, I like to think of private lessons as an opportunity for partnership, where I play the role of facilitator. To do so, I regularly check-in with students to build a lesson structure that works for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
My methods are executed with one core value in mind: create a life long learner and lover of music. This means I establish the fundamentals of theory with beginning students and reinforce them with intermediate students. Before an instrument is played, the concepts of rhythm, note value, and scales must be approached in an engaging way. With collaboration over curriculum, I would work with the student to find his/her interests and inspiration, making the journey worthwhile and fun! Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice for practicing effectively is to practice practice practice. I know that we might say that, that is a lot to do but once you start practicing and finding your mistake, and going over that one mistake you focused on. You can change it and make it better. I would also advice take advantage of online resources like music theory, utube, social media, etc. A lot of sites may contribute a lot of helpful tips on how to practice more effectively and what's the best way for you to start practicing effectively.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You as a parent know your child really well, and may know when your child is ready to start for lessons. One of the things that you should notice is when your child knows the difference from left to right. Playing the piano with both hands is an amazing ability to obtain. So therefore you should if your child can recognize the difference. Another way that your child is ready is if your child can count up to 12. The note value on a music staff focuses on 1 count, 2 ,3 and so forth. Knowing that your child is ready to follow these steps is when you know that your child is ready to start lessons.
When will I start to see results?
You would start seeing results when you practice every day that one specific instrument you want to manage your time on. Have your own plan for how long you want to practice and stick with it. Start by looking up notes that you would want to play and then practice them. Another way is to start recording your playing through your device. Find your mistakes and improve upon them. It is never to late to grab an instrument and to start strumming. Finally, you should Mix up the different genres of playing. My mixing the way you play you your brain and muscles to function differently throughout practicing your different genes that you like listening to.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher that would inspire me into reading notes, and learning about music theory. My teach would encourage all of us. I would apply what I learned and teach every student in class about how to read the notes and what each note meant. The teacher needed extra support and I was that extra support that I provided for the class. She would also inspire me in never giving up by teaching, One of her inspirations was that she would always be on top of me when reading music notes for guitar and piano.
