Instruments: Piano
My teaching style depends very much on what your goal is in deciding to learn to play piano. I can teach you how to play classical piano, piano improvisation, piano accompaniment, or how to play in a certain style with a musical group. Your goal as a student determines the approach we take. That being said, typically, I take a three pronged approach toward teaching: 1. Theory; teach the fundamentals of sight reading and music theory in small increments and apply them by creating custom musical exercises. 2. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad, was a band director. Therefore I watched him play trumpet I wanted to too. I ,started playing at the early age of 5.
My grandfather and grandmother were "music men" They would start bands in their communities wherever they lived. It was in Oklahoma where they first started their first band.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is slowing down and working through each piece of music note by note. If their is a missed note than that note must be found. Once found student should play the phrase at least 5 times without mistake, then go back and put it in the piece of music. After 5 non mistakes through the mistaken wrong note should disappear. Most beginning students will try to play by ear. A teacher can always tell when the student is grasping and not getting it. If a student rushes through practice it will be evident in the next lesson. Well practice can be 10 min. to 30 min. depending on the mind set of the one practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
After teaching for 25 years plus I have learned that if a child is ready for lessons then it should be their idea, because this will encourage self motivation. Practice if the key to playing the piano or any other instrument. If the child is unwilling to sit down and go over what was taught at the previous lesson, then the child is most definitely not ready to take lessons. My rule of thumb is if the child knows their ABC's and can count to ten then anyone can learn music, just have a willingness to learn and spend time and practice.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I earned a lot of outstanding awards growing up. Including outstanding performance in Jazz Trumpet at a Six Flags festival.
Region, Area bands,
A character education program I wrote and published sold into 400 plus elem schools nation wide. 1997-
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My dad played the trumpet, he was a band director. Therefore I picked up the trumpet in Kindergarten after watching him play it for all my life. I also remember my mother playing the piano for her school musicals for elem. school. I became an elem music teacher and I had to use the piano in my own classroom musicals.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results every time the student picks up their instrument. Instruments have to be practiced in order to improve. Results are seen almost immediately if you practice and apply what you have learned.
