Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
From these experiences, I seek to teach piano. Incorporate performance, write a song, play and experience other musical instruments, enjoy the music, find appreciation to the variety of genres that are out there: from country, classical, to even jazz, and rock. I want my students to enjoy the art as we work for specific skills, techniques, and professionalisms. Because the bottom line, is the joy we feel ourselves when we play and the joy we give to others when they hear us perform. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2023, I graduated from The University of Utah with a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Saxophone Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play both at the Avery Fischer and Carnegie Halls in New York, as well as the All Saints Church in Rome and Temple Bar in Dublin.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I began teaching lessons 8 years ago when I was 16. I was heavily involved in my church's music program and I began with a few students who were fairly young. By the time I was 18, I was teaching over 15 lessons a week to students ranging from 4 to 45 years old. During my college years I was in school full-time, so I taught a small number of students on and off; however the experience I gained at Berklee significant increased the quality of education I'm able to give a student.

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
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I started teaching in 2009 in Mississippi. I taught 6th grade band (beginner), 7th grade band, and high school. I taught in Mississippi for 5 years and just recently moved to Tennessee. While teaching, I've given private lessons to some of my students after school and to some students who did not attend my school. I always encourage doing a recital, entering competitions, and continuing on to college playing their instrument. I love motivating students and challenging them to be the best and nothing less.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Mallet Percussion
I am a pianist and mallet percussionist. I grew up playing piano and percussion and double majored in both instruments in college. I work primarily a pianist in town but will occasionally go on the road as a jazz vibraphonist with various groups. I've toured playing various genres with several bands in over four continents. I have also taught as an adjunct professor at two different universities. As a performer my greatest accomplishments have been performing with such jazz greats as Clark Terry, Herbie Hancock, and Kenny Garrett. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Synthesizer Keyboard
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.
