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 student's 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 need. can help you out. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I don't use any one method book. Instead I opt to pull from a variety of sources depending on the students age, background, and skill level. In terms of repertoire, I focus almost exclusively on classical music. While I am a fan of other genres, I also firmly believe that building a solid, classically-based technical foundation is the only way to really become proficient on any instrument. A student simply is not going to develop by just playing his or her favorite pop songs. Read More

I have performed in music ensembles since childhood. As an elementary school student I performed in regionally recognized handbell, soprano recorder, and choir ensembles and I am a strong advocate of these types of ensembles at the elementary level. As a middle and high school student I participated in jazz, concert, symphonic, and marching band. While attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia I participated in Orchestra (trumpet), Glee Club, and Jazz Band (piano) and have extensive experience performing in symphonic and concert ensembles ensembles.

Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More

For beginning students I have a number of books, resources and methods that I utilize in order to keep the lesson engaging and enjoyable. For more advanced students, I typically have a lesson plan or a direction that I want to go after assessing strengths and weaknesses. For all of my students, I always ensure that we are learning and practicing music and concepts that they find enjoyable and is headed in a direction that they want to go, all the while still challenging them of course.

Instruments: Piano Organ
My experience with teaching began during my undergraduate studies. I have worked with students in the classroom teaching elementary music as well as at the middle school and high school level teaching choir. In addition, I have taught my closest friends in piano and organ. While I was the staff accompanist at a high school, I taught the treble choir and gave piano and voice lessons during off-periods. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching, especially when I see that students are inspired by music and are willing to take on the task of mastering their craft. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice shouldn't feel like mindless work; Practice should be INTENTIONAL! How can your grow today? What should you work on today to be a better guitar player next week? Next month? Next year? Additionally, I try to learn a new song, lick, or concept every day to keep my practice sessions fresh and exciting.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any time is a good time, especially if your child is showing interest in music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will vary between students. Each student has unique personality as well as a unique level of interest in guitar. Students that are truly enjoying playing the instrument should expect results much quicker than students that are only somewhat interested.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a direct teacher that inspired me to pursue music. In general, I had always known that I wanted to pursue music professionally. Ultimately, I was inspired to choose it as a career after reading about various celebrities/athletes that had given their all to pursue their passions.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I simply love guitar! I've always been a fan of classic rock! I am a huge Slash/Guns N Roses fan.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This year alone (my first year pursuing music as a career), I've played 84 gigs, including:
-Opening for national country artists like Brantley Gilbert and Billy Ray Cyrus
-Weddings, private business events, festivals
-B93 Birthday Bash
-Brantley Gilbert's Kick It In The Sticks cruise ship
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a successful practice routine. There are so many techniques on guitar and a million different videos on YouTube telling you what your "should" be practicing. The reality is that you start by practicing what you are interested in. Things such as scale shapes and new chords are practical tools that should AID you in your practice routine, but shouldn't be the base of your routine. Running scales for 3 straight hours may improve your dexterity with scales, but will not teach you the practical skills for playing within a band setting.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I generally practice for 3 hours a day, breaking it into 3 portions: New Material, Improving Material, Songs. I'll spend my first hour learning licks or a new song. For me, this is a great way to warm up and get excited for practicing. The next hour, I'll work on difficult solos/passages. I typically won't spend more than 10 minutes working on one specific solo/passage. Finally, I'll spend an hour running some of the songs from my setlists. I have about 60 songs between each band that I try to keep "in-shape" for weekly live performances.
