I began as a private lesson teacher as a young college student. Over the years, I have been a percussion teacher for multiple schools from the elementary to the high school level.

My versatile experience helps guide all of my students to reach their goals as a musician and beyond! Read More

Students (and parents of students) often have goals for learning piano. As an instructor, my job is to assist and encourage students to achieve these goals. Whether its to learn basic chords and simple songs, or to master certain complex musical pieces for a recital, I am eager to work with students to find out the best methods to improve and progress towards achieving their goals.

As I mentioned before, my teaching style can best be described as easygoing, but precise and adapted to each students needs. I focus on the person trying to learn as much as on the learning itself. Yet, Im not demanding or harsh in my delivery or expectations. Rather than a standard, vanilla approach, I try learn my students personality, learning style, and sense of humor pretty quickly and work to adapt the facts and knowledge of music to each student as an individual human, not an appointment.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Before relocating to Carlsbad California, I served as Worship Pastor at Living Water Community Church in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. I was successful in bridging the gap between the sudden departure of permanent worship pastor and the hiring of another. During this interim assignment, I introduced a more balanced selection of worship music more reflective of the diversity within the congregation.
In addition, last May, I directed an ensemble that provided the music for a play: "A Warm Heart of Steel". This play was set in Pittsburg between 1968 and 1973. We, therefore covered music of Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Donny Hathaway, and Lena Horne.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
There was not a particular teacher that inspired me. However, there were people in my community of whom I admired. For example, my cousin Larry, whom I idolized played for the church as I was growing up. More than the music, I admired the role he played in commanding the attention of the choir and congregation. My first musical mentor was Mr. Thomas Goodson, who was a jazz organist and member of our church. In a traditional Baptist congregation, he was infusing jazz chords over the rather straight hymnal renditions that we sang.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I did not choose the piano, it was chosen for me. My father was a diesel mechanic on tugboats in New York Harbor during World War II. He spent many weekends on shore in the barracks with no entertainment. In fact, the navy provided a piano in the barracks but no one could play. Therefore, he determined that upon leaving the service and beginning his family, his children would have piano lessons. I only discovered this promise to himself one Saturday morning when a big truck pulled up to our home and they unloaded a Story & Clark piano. We were in piano lessons the following week.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend parents set a timer for a specific time; not less than ten minutes per day, but not more than an hour. Follow the teachers guidelines for what to accomplish so that the time will be effective. Plan a time that there is relative calm in the home and limit the distractions that a TV or other noises might create. I also advise that no pressure is put on the student if family schedules does not permit practice every day. Don't sweat it. We do not want the thought of practice to become drudgery.
