Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet
I like to spend the first lesson figuring out what the student knows so that I can formulate lesson plans that are relevant and chronological. Once a rapport is established, I introduce material that is both accessible and challenging and help the student work through the music. First we work on playing the right notes and rhythms, then we add musicality and expression. Read More

Im a passionate and driven performer, writer and teacher who loves working with students to bring their unique potential to fruition. In 2017, I graduated from Belmont University with a degree in Vocal Performance. My senior year at Belmont, I was selected as one of four finalists in Belmonts Commercial Showcase. Performing all over the country have been the hilights of my career thus far. I have been honored to play in famed Dolby Theater in Los Angeles and as the guitarist-in-residence at the world-famous Grand Hotel, as well as with national touring acts Madame Gandhi and Thelma and the Sleaze.

My experience with music is through my life experience in all the facets of music I've been involved with. I have been teaching for over 30 years and nothing is more rewarding for me than to have a student have the "light going on moment" that I've seen on more than one occasion. I believe if a student is bored then they have the wrong instructor, and I pride myself on not allowing that to happen. Read More

I settled in Atlanta in 1973, and started school in 1975. I went as far with school as my VA benefits would get me and then I left school, and got a job teaching in a local Atlanta store. I have been teaching, practicing and playing full time ever since.I love showing students how to work to learn, once they see how work pays off you can't stop them. I have my own Learn To Play Guitar book that I now use as handouts that have vocabulary, open chords, bar chords, inside chords, along with major and relative scales. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I've been teaching guitar for the past four years and drums for 10. My favorite thing about teaching is when a student gets to a playing level they didn't think possible. Seeing the transformation is the most rewarding part of the job for me, because I know first hand how good it feels to improve and progress. To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I typically structure my lessons based on each individual student and their level of commitment. Some of my students want to go to college for music performance, and others just want to sound better in their school's band. I take that into account when choosing particular warmups and repertoire. I always begin my lessons with a few duets with my students. This helps strengthen the student's sight reading skills and it also gives them a chance to hear me play. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Performing at prestigious concert venues like Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, World Arena, Pepsi Center, and touring to almost every continent on the earth! I'm also proud that I've worked on my craft to the point where other musicians consider me "A" level player here in Nashville by other touring musicians, producers, and vocalist. I've released 3 jazz albums with original compositions and jazz standards. I am also proud that I was able to serve my country with the USAF Academy Band and having the opportunity to perform all over the USA with them.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had several students win awards and scholarships for their performance skills they've developed by studying with me. Many of my students were playing and doing things that I was learning at Berklee College of Music when I was 24 and 4th year as a performance major at Berklee College of Music. Many of my students are traveling all over the world touring, performing in big cities, and working in recording studios in Nashville, Boston, NY, and LA. Many of my students also auditioned and made "ALL STATE" Ensembles.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the piano is playing the RH and LH playing completely different parts at the same time. To be able to do this students must practice very slowly with a metronome, counting out loud, and practice hands separate. You practice this very very slowly, and increasing the speed little by little until you can get the music to flow. The hard part about this is that it's not all that much fun to do this type of work, but it's necessary to be able to play the piece up to tempo, and for the music to "flow" naturally with no hesitations or stops.
Another hard thing to master is rhythm. Rhythm is the 1st thing people notice about someones playing. I work very hard in making sure the rhythms are correct, and the students play with a steady tempo without speeding up or slowing down.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonards "Piano Adventures" by Faber & Faber for students age 7 and up, "Piano Prep" by Alfred for students age 5-6, "Piano Literature" by Bastien&Bastien for intermediate to advanced students. I like them because they are evenly paced, fun, and the piano accompaniments are fun, and they teach a variety of styles. I've been using these methods for over 20 years, and student progress through them, and develop into great players. "Piano Adventures" have 5 levels of lesson books, 2 levels of "Adult Piano Adventures". Then I supplement the books with songs that the students want to learn to play.
